subject: Accurate Tarot Card Readers [print this page] The tarot card readers use a pack of cards that number 78 in all, which have been used from the mid 15th century in various parts of Europe to play card games such as Italian tarocchini and French tarot. From that point on they have been used by mystics and occultists in efforts at divination or as a map of mental and spiritual pathways. If you describe tarot card readers, they are often held in regards of being mysterious and their cards have four suits corresponding to the suits of conventional playing cards. Each of these suits has pip cards numbering from ace to ten and four face cards for a total of 14 cards. In addition, the tarot is distinguished by a separate 21 card trump suit and a single card known as the Fool. Depending on the game, the Fool may act as the top trump or may be played to avoid following suit.
In English speaking countries, where these games are largely unknown, tarot cards are now used primarily for divination purposes. Occultists call the trump cards and the Fool the major arcana while the ten pip and four court cards in each suit are called minor arcana. The cards are traced by some occult writers to ancient Egypt but there is no documented evidence of such origins or of the usage of tarot for divination before the 18th century.
People today use tarot card readers for advice about many different things that pertain to their lives or maybe even to someone else. This can give them some insight in what they can expect in the future and maybe even give a warning about something tragic that might happen in their life. Many even use tarot for insight on what lottery numbers to pick and religiously use them to play the numbers that the Occultists give.
Many disbelievers think that many of the tarot card readers that are out there have the con on and the cards are just a way for them to make a few bucks, and I do not doubt that there are some out there that have that ability. This gives the real deal individuals that read tarot cards and are most of the time accurate a bad rap.
