About
What is Tarot?
The Tarot deck is a set of 78 cards. The Major Arcarna has 22 Archtype images. The Minor Arcana has 4 suits; Swords, Pentacles, Cups and Rods.
Tarot reading has been used since the 15th century as a method of divination and seeking knowledge. Originally, ordinary playing cards were used for divination and over time different forms of cards were developed. However, the art of divination has in fact, been written about since the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. It is not new. It is how the cards are interpreted that is the gift. The Tarot can help to put the past and present into focus and act as a strong guideline to future choices and possibilities that may be opening up to you.
The cards mirror what the universe beholds and can open an area of your mind that would normally remain hidden and can thus give the questioner valuable insights into the deeper thoughts and feelings around current situations.
Tarot Madames use two decks of oracle cards for their readings. The Old Path Tarot and Mademoiselle Lenormand.
