Tarot Detailed Reading – 3 Questions

Tarot is an extremely old divination tool, dating back to it’s first divinatory purposes in the late 16^th century. It was originally used during earlier times as a simple parlor game with similar characteristics such as the different suits (staves/wands, discs/coins, cups and swords). Additional cards were added in by the request of wealthy families who employed artists to paint them and add cards of themselves and other characters/family members. One of the most powerful families to use the original parlor game was the Visconti family who ruled Milan during the 14^th and 15^th century, they were the most powerful and noble family in Northern Italy during this time.  After the game had been used this way for several decades by the wealthy, by the 18^th century, the game saw an established shift in how it was played. The arrival of printing press made this game more accessible to people who were not of noble status. Reaching the hands of mystics and occultists, the meanings, symbols and layouts were formed for the use of divinatory purposes and the game evolved into much more than the playing cards they once were. Now used for divination and magical purposes, this system has stood the test of time as one of the most reliable ways to predict the energies of now and of the future.
