Tarot Cards and Tarot Card Readings

The Tarot is a deck of 78 cards that have been used for centuries for fortune telling.  Some say they originated over 500 years ago somewhere in northern Italy. Others say the cards came from China or Egypt. 

Tarot cards were first used in a card game called the Game of Triumphs, and was adopted as a tool for divination, and popularized by occult societies. 

As the game spread, changes were often made in the pictures, and also in the ranking of the trumps, which usually bore no numbers. In time, tarot spread south to Sicily and north to Austria, and Germany. Today, Tarot cards are the most popular tool for spiritual reading in the West. 

There are many decks available, from the “mainstream’’ Rider-Waite deck, which evolved in the early 1900s to tarot cards with woodland images for Pagans, feline images for Cat lovers, as well as pictures of beautiful lands both real and imagined. 

Most Tarot decks come with instructions and meanings for the cards.

If you are really interested in the history of Tarot cards, or any other aspect for that matter, there is a ton of information online...even free tarot card readings.   

I read somewhere once that in order for one to predict the future, give psychic readings, or tell someone's future, he must believe that he can do so.  

It's possible that the tarot deck of cards provides a person with something other than his belief in his own abilities (which may be lacking) to believe in, thus allowing him to do these predictions.  The Tarot cards, being so rich in symbolism, would be an ideal tool to provide ones mind with a "frame work of belief" allowing one to interpret the cards in almost any way needed to provide a successful reading.

The same would hold true for activities like reading tea leaves and chicken bones, crystal balls etc.
