The Tarot Cards in History
Where do the Tarot cards come from?
About the origin of the Tarot de Marseilles, we know few things but we can however say this: the Tarot de Marseilles deck appeared in France under the reign of the king Charles VI. When this poor king became insane, he was locked up in a castle by his wife Isabeau of Bavaria. Odette de Champdivert, his mistress offered a deck of Tarot cards to him.
In fact, these tarot cards were composed by 56 paperboard pieces decorated with figures and signs. This play was used by Sarasins in Eastern countries. Charles VI asked to Jacquemin Gringonneur to redraw the figures in order to make them look prettier. Some claim that the first illuminations of the cards appeared in Italy but the work of this artist is indexed on the journal of Charles VI's banker.
The Tarot we talk about here was not a divination Tarot but well a card game; which still exists and is still used in Mediterranean countries. Although the opinions are divided and the experts seldom agree between them, the Divinatory Tarot de Marseilles was born from this game.
22 major arcana were associated to the 56 basic cards (minor arcana). These major arcana are more often used than the minor arcana. The graphics of the Tarot de Marseilles look medieval and reflect the concerns of our ancestors to perfection.

The 56 Minor Arcana of a Tarot Card Deck
Arcana used to narrow the prediction
One makes less use of the 56 minor arcana, however, they're used to narrow the predictions the fortune teller is about to do. The 56 minor arcana are split into four suits:- Spears,
- Cups,
- Coins,
- Swords
During the Middle-Ages and later, these suits were associated with the social classes: Coins with the traders, Cups with the clergy, Swords with the nobility and Spears with the peasants
The meaning of Minor Arcana and the best 7 Tarot card spread are explained in two complementary lenses.

Are Fortune Tellers Scammers or Honest People?
Beware of dishonest people!
Before consulting a fortune-teller, it is necessary for you to know that, if all these persons aren't good fortune-tellers (some of them earn their living by telling anything); the predictions that you will hear will perhaps never arrive but that does not mean that the fortune-teller is bad.
Indeed, during the pulling of tarot cards, you will be asked to "cut" in order to allow the set to be impregnated by your emotions. One can talk about "magnetizing". If the day you consult a fortune-teller, you have negative ideas or if you are depressed, the predictions will be in harmony with your state of mind. Hundred percent of the predictions made by the fortune-teller will be carried out if you follow the way of life that you fixed the day of the consultation.
In some occasions, I noticed that my predictions are carried out at 100% with people who keep the same state of mind during the months following the consultation.
For example, a friend asked me for a consultation because she had compulsive obsessional disorders and wanted to know how her disease would develop. I announced to her that she would not be interested by her disease within some weeks because she was going to leave on a journey in an Island and would meet her husband-to-be. She believed that I was becoming insane! Because of the compulsive disorders, she did not travel but the year she came to me, she went to Jersey Island (U.K.) and met her husband-to-be. They got married two months later.
You have to know that people who consult a fortune-teller, do it for sentimental purpose, particularly when they are depressed. However, a depress is momentary, one can cure a depression and consequently, the predictions are distorted.

- Nice lens.
I've been reading cards for over 20 years. Its how I paid my way through college after my divorcee. I have several different decks and also some Runes. I favor my Mah Jong cards, which I have just written some lenses about which might interest you.

- Hi, thank you for taking the time to write the lens. It is very nicely written. I have been "reading" the cards for nearly 30 years now and I often find that they act as a catalyst for clairvoyance. I have had many satisfied (I would say customers but I've never charged for a reading) clients over many years.
i do believe, however, that although you can teach someone to literally "read" the cards....to actually "see" what the cards are telling you correctly takes years of patience and partnership with your cards. You have to develop a mutual affinity and respect. You have to be able to feel what the cards are saying. But if you have the ability you can have a long and happy partnership.
Thanks again,
Tala

- Now I am curious! :) I've never tried a Tarot Reading before. :) South Africa tends to be a little shy with regards to things that doesn't fit in well with the mainstream. Which I think is a little silly. I'll have to find somebody to do a Tarot Reading for me! But via the internet? Does that even work? Should I even bother you with it? :P

- I'm a little wary of the tarot so had not discovered this wonderful lens before now. It's commendable that you have the warning about how to approach a tarot reading and I loved the story of your friend and the prediction of her travel and marriage. Leaving an ~*~* Angel Blessing *~*~ here.
