The History Of Tarot

D.C.H. D.H.P. M.A.I.C.H. M.I.C.M.C.T.

One would have to travel back at least six-hundred years to

find the beginnings of Tarot.

The ancient Egyptians created a hieroglyphic book of seventy-eight tablets or

Chaldean 'mystery religions', which formed the basic knowledge for the Tarot.

In addition to the Egyptian history, the Knights Templar, during and after the crusades,

brought religious and philosophical beliefs back from India and China,

adding to a rich history surrounding Tarot.

Tarot was first created to encompass astrology, Kabala, numerology, alchemy, magic, mythology,

Egyptology, religion, Christian mysticism, Eastern philosophy and psychology.

The first Tarot deck appeared C15 and included

twenty-two major arcana cards and fifty-six minor arcana cards.

"People often ask me how Tarot works - this is a very difficult

question to answer as Tarot is full of mysteries.

As an Intuitive I read Tarot in a different

way for each client that I see - for everyone has their own path to follow.

Sometimes a client has come to see me about - for example - their relationship,

and the Tarot answers their unspoken questions relating to money - it will always turn out that the client's most pressing worry

or thought was to do with a financial situation, and that is what the Tarot has answered first.

That was just an example but I must also say that Tarot is not something to be

frightened of or scared about and there is nothing occult about Tarot - that is an age old myth.

In fact, the pack of playing cards that we use today, derives from the Tarot deck!

When Tarot is used properly, in the hands of an Intuitive, it is an amazing and truthful tool of divination."
