TAROT CARD HISTORY

Tarot playing cards were once popular all over Europe, with a few exceptions. But in recent decades, they’ve experienced a renaissance in some countries and regions. For example, French Tarot was largely confined to Provence in the 18th century, but took off in the 1950s to such an extent that, in 1973, the French Tarot Association (Fédération Française de Tarot) was formed. French Tarot is now the second most popular card game in France.

 

Tarot cards have been used for centuries in Europe for playing card games. In the late 18th century, French occultists began making claims about the history and meaning of tarot cards, leading to the emergence of custom decks for use in divination. Thus, there are two distinct types of tarot packs: those used for playing games and those used for divination.

 

Tarot cards have been used for centuries to play card games and predict the future. Today, they’re still widely used for both purposes. There are four suits in tarot, which vary by region: French suits are used in western, central and eastern Europe, Latin suits in southern Europe. Each suit has 14 cards, including ten pip cards numbered from one (or Ace) to ten, and four face cards (King, Queen, Knight, and Jack/Knave/Page). In addition, the tarot has 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.

 

Do you know where playing cards came from? Europe first saw playing cards in the late 14th century, but no one knows for sure where they originated. The first records date back to 1367 in Bern, Switzerland. It appears that playing cards spread quickly across Europe, as there are records of card games being banned in many countries.  We don’t know much about the appearance or number of cards in the original packs. The only significant information comes from a text by John of Rheinfelden, written in 1377. He describes the basic pack as containing 4 suits of 13 cards each. The court cards were usually the King, Ober (or Marshal), and Unter (or Page), although Dames and Queens were already known by then.

 

Different playing card decks have evolved over time, with some of the most popular suits including Batons or Clubs, Coins, Swords, and Cups. These suits are still used in traditional Italian, Spanish and Portuguese playing card decks, as well as in modern tarot divination cards that first appeared in the late 18th century.

 

The first recorded tarot decks date back to the 1440s in Italy. These decks, called carte da trionfi or triumph cards, included additional trump cards with allegorical illustrations. The earliest documentation of these cards was found in a court record from Florence in 1440, which mentions the transfer of two decks to Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta.

It’s impossible to know what you want in life if you don’t have a clear understanding of who you are. Spend some time reflecting on what’s important to you and what makes you happy. It’ll be worth it in the end.

 

Another interesting indication would be to remind you that there is a possibility that you will have to face vital decisions to assist you maintain good health or, in a more technical manner, use the information to make another person help you feel better.
