The Tarot has been around for a long time. It’s been used to predict the future, and it’s also been used to help people clear their minds. The deck is made up of 78 cards, divided into two sections: The Major Arcana (traditionally 21 cards) and The Minor Arcana (56 cards). Each card represents an archetype that has a particular meaning; each card also has its own story that can be read like an allegory about your life and what’s happening in it right now. I know what you’re thinking: Yawn—another unscientific superstition passed down through generations of sheep-herders! But the truth is far stranger than you realize.

The history of the tarot is fascinating

Have you ever wondered about the origins of tarot cards? The history of the tarot is fascinating, and this ancient deck of cards has been used for everything from games to divination and fortune-telling.

The oldest surviving decks were created in Italy during the 15th century, with some historians believing that they were first used by merchants as a way of keeping track of their accounts. The earliest known decks came from Italy around 1425. These cards were very similar to modern tarot cards; however, they did not contain all 78 different images we see today. Instead, there were just 22 major arcana (divination) cards that had allegorical images on them — including Death, Justice and Strength — but no suits like Wands or Cups.

There are many decks and many styles

There are many decks, and many styles. Each deck has its own meaning and each style has a different meaning. The most famous deck is the Rider-Waite, published in 1910 by Pamela Colman Smith and illustrated by Arthur Edward Waite. It’s considered to be the standard deck for beginners because it’s easy to read, but there are plenty of others out there—the Morgan Greer Tarot is one of my favorites!

Some people use Tarot cards to predict the future.

If you’re familiar with Tarot cards, you know that they can be used to predict the future. But how does this work? Are there some secret powers hidden in the cards? Or is it all just magic?

If you’re like me and don’t have a lot of experience with Tarot cards and divination, then let’s take a look at some different ways people use them for various purposes:

• To understand your life better

• To help make decisions (such as what career path or partner to choose)

• To predict events in the future

Some people use Tarot cards to help clear their minds.

As you can see, Tarot cards come in a wide variety of sizes and types. Some people use them to help clear their minds. Others use them to help understand the thoughts and emotions of others, or even to learn about what’s going on in the world at large. But no matter how you use them or how many there are, one thing is certain: they all have magical powers that will improve your life!

The deck is made up of 78 cards

The tarot deck consists of 78 cards, and the order in which they are dealt is usually significant. There are 22 Major Arcana cards (the ones with names like The Lovers and The Devil), 56 Minor Arcana cards (such as The Four of Wands and The Ten of Pentacles), and 4 suits (Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles).

In a standard tarot game there are two players: you and your friend. Each player draws a card from their own deck at random to determine who goes first—this is called cutting the deck—and then draws three more cards from their own decks to form a hand. After both players have drawn five cards each but before they can look at them or say anything else out loud, the dealer deals three additional face-down cards to each player so that everyone has nine total in front of them: one for your hand; one for your opponent’s hand; two extras for yourself because you’re being extra careful about keeping track of things today!

The Tarot can help you understand a lot about your life, but it can’t substitute for hard work and action

While the Tarot can be used to help you understand your life, it can’t predict the future. Similarly, it can be used to help you understand your life and make decisions about how to live it, but it cannot substitute for hard work and action.

The Tarot is a tool that helps us see things from different points of view without judging them or attaching ourselves too strongly to any particular outcome. It helps us identify problems in our lives so we can take steps toward solving them—and sometimes just as importantly, it helps us identify problems in our lives before they become insurmountable obstacles.
