Psychic Tarot Readings By Tanya Kapoor And The Process Involved
Tarot
The tarot, that originated over 500 years ago in northern Italy, is a set of cards featuring 21 trump cards and an extra face card per suit, in addition to the usual suit (face and pip) cards found in ordinary playing cards. Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games.
The early Tarot symbolism was deeply rooted in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, but over the centuries it has grown to incorporate everything from Astrology and Kabbalah to Runes (which predate the Tarot by 1000 years) and the I Ching (which predates the Tarot by 2500 years). Today, the Tarot is far and away the most popular tool for spiritual introspection in the West.
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes with the trump cards along with the Fool card comprising the 22 major arcana cards and the pip and four face cards the 56 minor arcana. This means totally Tarot, pronounced, Teh-roh; does a divination tool comprise 78 cards, divided into the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.
The Tarot cards are a series of cards embellished with universal images and ancient symbols, which pictorially represent a summary of all knowledge, spiritual energies, teaching and wisdom of the sages. Whatever the origin of the Tarot, it is clear that the symbolism on the cards is universal, speaking to many different cultures and philosophies.
