Origins and uses of the tarot 🔮

May 5, 2023

The origin of the tarot is an adaptation of a simple deck of cards 🃏 that was created to play and have fun that was born between France and Italy. Starting in the 19th century, this mallet began to be used as a method of riddles 🔮 since at parties the girls were caught maidens and knights a random card to define their personality. That deck received the name tarot.

Each deck is made up of 78 arcana, 22 majors and 56 minors. The older ones, such as the Magician, the Fool or the Empress, among others, help us answer our questions and give us a much broader long-term vision. On the other hand, the minor ones, which we find 4 suits: clubs, gold, swords and cups, give us a more practical and everyday meaning, providing us with only the most visible information.
