So, today I have been inspired to post on the Tarot. I have been working with/studying the cards for over a decade, and still consider myself a novice reader, because there is so much history, myth, and layers to the cards; which gives them added power. The above video is an accurate account of Tarot's history, which stems from a European card game that developed in the Renaissance called Tarrochi. As stated in the previous post, learning the cards is a commitment to scholarship. It is interesting to note, that the above video is made by a skeptic of the cards use in divination. However, I am a proponent of the theory that the cards enable the querent (seeker) to get in touch with higher self, which is a concept that I will look at further, as I continue to post clips and thoughts on Tarot throughout the day!
Enjoy,
JYN
* For an excellent and scholarly look into the history of Tarot, and the cards use in divination, I recommend the book the Tarot (History, Symbolism, and Divination) by Robert M. Place
