  • A Brief History

    A Brief History

    The origin of the tarot cards, the region of the world, and the precise purpose of their origin, are wrapped in a haze of conjecture, doubt and superstition. Some authorities claim that the Tarot evolved from the Chinese divination system called I-Ching; others say that it was adapted from the legendary Book of Thoth. Still others place its origin as recently as fourteenth or fifteenth century Europe, since the earliest known complete deck dates from that time.

    The most eminent and profound occultist, several of whom, including Court de Gebelin, Papus, Charles Barlet, boldly affirm that tarot cards are nothing less than the leaves of the sacred Book of Thoth, which contained a summary of the profound occult lore of ancient Egypt. Moreover, these occultists agree that Tarot presents an epitome of the mysteries of the Jews Cabbala, which (Jews Cabbala) is largely Egyptian in its origin. In fact, even the name 'Tarot' hints on an Egyptian origin. Etteilla, a great exponent of the Tarot, explains that the name has been derived from Egyptian words' Tar'," a path" and 'ro or ros', "royal," meaning together "the royal path of life." J. F. Vaillent (in les romes, histoire vraie des vraise bohemiens, 1857), states" the great divinity Ashtaroth, As-Taroth, is no other than the Indo-Tarter Tan-Tara, the tarot, the zodiac." And still other authorities teach that both the Tarot and the Book of Thoth derive their names from the Egyptian word 'taru' meaning "to require answer" or "to consult"

    Whatever the origin of the Tarot, it is clear that the symbolism on the cards is universal, speaking to many different cultures and philosophies.
  • The Tarot Deck

    The Tarot Deck

    The Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, divided into: - 

    1) The Major Arcana, consisting of 22 pictorial and symbolical cards, and

    2) The Minor Arcana, which are composed of 56 court and numeral cards, divided into 4 suits. 

    The word "Arcana" comes from the Latin word 'arcanus' meaning closed or secret.

    The major arcana, or trump suit, consisting of 22 cards has different pictures on each card illustrating an action, behavior and or event. Each card also has a label, which is a name, a title, or the description of the picture on the card.

    All the cards in the major arcana except one are numbered, from 1 to 21. The Fool, which is an unnumbered card, is generally considered to be number 0.

    The remaining 56 cards, the minor arcana, are divided into 4 suits: Swords, Cups, Coins, and Wands. There are 14 cards in each suit: 10 numbered (or pip) cards, from Ace to Ten, and 4 face (or court) cards: Page, Knight, Queen, King.

    In the divination, the major arcana represents states of being- i.e. ones mental, emotional, and/or spiritual condition at the time of tarot card reading. 

    On the other hand the minor arcana describes events or situation, and each suit focuses on a different area of life. In general, Swords describe mental or intellectual state of the questioner and Cups his emotional life. Coins represent his material status, and Wards his career, abilities, or potentials. The court cards sometimes symbolize actual people in questioner life or may have same interpretation as the pip cards.   
  • Divining with Tarot

    Divining with Tarot

    There is no absolute destiny: there is only Cause and Effect. Sometimes the process is simple like mixing blue and yellow will give green. However most of life's situations is not that simple. It is difficult if not impossible to discover a causal relationship. These are the situations for which one needs Tarot a means to see beyond the sensory perception. 

    The important thing to remember is "if you change the cause, you change the effect" i.e. if you change either blue or yellow (the cause), you change green (the effect).

    The Tarot works, by helping the conscious mind focus, via meditation, on the clairvoyant powers of the unconscious mind. The underlying premise is 'solutions are inbuilt in the problem, one has only got to search for it.' Tarot is one of the tools, which help in this search .
  • Tarot Spreads

    Tarot Spreads

    There are many spreads to choose from. Some spreads are suitable for answering in' yes or no' while others require a great deal of skill from the reader and fair deal of patience from the questioner, for these spreads are complicated; but they provide an indepth analysis to the questioner.

    The spreads mentioned below have been chosen for their ease of use and the depth of answer that they impart.

    1) The Four-Card Spread : - This gives a reasonably detailed answer to simply phrased question. The beginner with minimum knowledge of the Tarot may use it with ease. It may be of further use as a part of a longer reading using another spread to answer secondary question relating to specific part of the questioner's life.

    2) The Celtic cross Spread : - This is perhaps the most widely used and most popular of all Tarot spreads. It gives the questioner a much more detailed view of his/her circumstances than the Four Card Spread. The reader should attempt to read the cards in relation to each other for all the cards taken together would provide more meaning than the sum of their individual parts.

    3) The Astrological Spread : - This spread, as the name implies is based upon the principles of astrology. 12 cards are placed in positions representing the 12 astrological houses. Each card is interpreted with in the context of the individual house. This may take a little longer to learn for the beginner but any one with the knowledge of astrology will find the principle straightforward.

    Both the Celtic Cross Spread and the Astrological Spread together give a very detailed and in depth understanding of the questioner's situation and there by help in deciding a course of action.

    There are some other popular spreads namely Etteilla's Great Figure of Destiny and Papus's Rapid methods of divination. However, an indepth analysis of all the Spreads and exact methodology employed for divination using Tarot cards is beyond the scope of this treatise.
  • Conclusion

    Conclusion

    In the course of this treatise an effort was made to present a lucid description of the principles of Tarot. For the benefit of the serious students of Tarot, we would like to emphasize that the prognostications of the Tarot cards are not bound infallibly to be fulfilled but should be regarded rather as signpost of guidance and encouragement, for the" stars impel, they do not compel."

The insatiable curiosity of man and his power of thought and speculation have never been more keenly exercised than in his effort to penetrate the barriers that separate the world of reality from the mysterious realm of the supernatural, and to possess himself of its secrets.
