What Are Tarot Cards
In my previous blog I described how I am searching for my true self. Six years ago I bought a deck at a spiritual fair. Now it is time for me to delve into this. The deck I bought was the Rider Waite tarot.
It is time!

Don’t buy counterfeit tarot decks!
There are, in general, two groups of people who buy counterfeit tarot decks. People who are not yet familiar with the tarot world and are tempted by a “good” offer, for example via Aliexpress, Wish or Ebay.

The History of The Tarot
The Tarot (tarocchi) appeared in Italy in the 14th century, just as Witches were disappearing. The 78 unnamed and unnumbered cards of the deck were divided into two categories: 22 “trumps” with mysterious figures; and 56 cards, organized in four “suits” or “pips” —spades/Swords, hearts/Cups, clubs/Wands, and diamonds/Coins. Originally used for gaming and gambling, the cards were quickly put to the task of foretelling the future, primarily by and for women.
