The Art of Tarot

Tarot History

Tarot cards emerged in 15th century Europe as playing cards before becoming tools for divination. The 78-card deck consists of the Major Arcana (22 trump cards) and Minor Arcana (56 suit cards). The Rider-Waite-Smith deck, created in 1909, revolutionized tarot with its detailed symbolic imagery, making the cards more accessible for intuitive readings.

Reading Techniques

Effective tarot reading combines knowledge of traditional meanings with intuitive interpretation. Consider card positions, relationships between cards, and your initial visual impressions. The Celtic Cross spread provides comprehensive insight by examining multiple aspects of a situation, while three-card spreads offer concise guidance. Always cleanse and shuffle your deck thoroughly before readings to clear residual energies.
