Tarot Witch
What do we use Tarot cards for? Does it "see into the future"?
I am interested in learning more. Is Tarot to do with spirits? I dont want to get myself into that sort of thing! Is it like witchcraft, but a white witch? Doy ou have to be psychic to use them? Are they genuine?
Firstly, we have to remember that there is nothing special about tarot cards. Tarot cards were created in the mid 15th century by adding a suit of picture cards to the existing Latin suited playing cards. These extra cards took as their theme a Christian triumph procession, hence they were known as trionfi, meaning triumphs, and from which we get our word trump. It was the invention of tarot that marked the invention of trumps in card games - and that's what tarot cards were for, playing card games. If some of the images look strange or mysterious to us, it is because we are looking at them with modern eyes, yet in the 15th century they were all familiar in Christian art, which is why the church, contrary to popular belief, never objected to them. For example, the Female Pope looks almost heretical and yet at the time she was a common figure in religious art, used to represent things such as the New Covenant, or the virtue of Faith. Another is the Hanged Man, a title given to it by the French card makers who were as confused as to what it represented as the later occultists. In Italy, this card was known as the Traitor - because in Italy, that's how they killed traitors, hung by one foot and left to die slowly and publically. No mystery at all.
I'm happy to add that the games, perhaps the best in the world, are still played throughout continental Europe.
The use best known in the English speaking world is that of fortune telling. This dates back only about 200 years to France, and for about 100 years was limited to that country. In the early 20th century, British occultists began to publish translations of the French occultists and import cards. These occult ideas then spread quickly throughout the English speaking world. By this time, most of Europe had been using French suited tarot cards, more usually known as tarock (only the French called the cards tarot) and no longer associated the traditional cards with game play, making it possible for the occult myths to be spread back through Europe.
However, given their real origin, reading tarot cards is no different in kind from reading tea leaves, knuckle bones, dominoes, or a pack of Happy Families - all of which have been used for divination (yes, even Happy Families!). This, I find, robs tarot reading of much of its credibility.
However, I also believe that knowledge of the future is not possible. Logically, it doesn't really make sense, involving reverse causations and is subject to many of the same paradoxes that plague notions of time-travel.
For myself, as I've suggested, I love the games very much and feel it a shame that they have been ignored by English speakers. However, there does seem to be some growing interest in them, often from tarot readers - I hope that you will consider this use of them.
