ABOUT TAROT

History

The Tarot started off being used as playing cards, such as the Italian Tarocchini and French Tarot in mid-15th century Europe. From the late 18th century until the present time the Tarot is being used by mystics and occultists to divulge into the present, the future and into the mental & spiritual pathways.

The modern Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, which are divided into two sections; the Minor Arcana consisting of 56 cards, and the Major Arcana which carries the remaining 22 cards. It’s the Major Arcana that has intrigued the world, yet I find the Minor Arcana’s 56 cards just as important since many a times it’s the minor issues in our lives that solve the most major of problems.
