Tarot reading considered a popular modern day offshoot of astrology in fact dates back to the early 14th century. The idea of tarot cards is said to have originated in ancient Egypt and traveled to Europe through the ‘Gypsies’. The church condemned the cards as they were said to preserve ancient religious systems and knowledge, posing a challenge to the established catholic dogma.
Tarot cards have seemingly innocent and simple illustrations carrying hidden meanings which reveal human psychology and spiritual experiences. The cards represent themes varying from Egyptian, Celtic to Native American and Feminist. The images have a meaningful pattern that reflect or provide answers to issues confronted by the individual. Tarot cards are a set of 78 cards representing psychological archetypes with ancient roots. The allegorical illustrations on the cards are didactic in nature representing a course in personal development and a source of divination which illuminates the inner struggle faced by a person.
