| THE READING OF TAROT CARDS IS A FORM OF CARTOMANCY, IN WHICH THE READER GAINS INFORMATION THROUGH THE INTERPRETATION OF CARDS. TAROT HAS ITS ORIGINS IN NORTHERN ITALY OVER 500 YEARS AGO. OVER TIME THE CARDS HAVE CHANGED IN LOOKS DEPENDING ON THE CREATOR; OFTEN TIMES HAVING ANY NUMBER OF THE FOLLOWING SYMBOLISM INCORPORATED INTO THEIR INTERPRETATIONS TO REFLECT ESOSTERIC BELIEFS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
ASTROLOGICAL
ZODIACAL
ELEMENTAL
QUABALISTIC
COLORS
TAROT CARDS COME IN A DECK OF 78 CARDS WITH 22 MAJOR ARCANA CARDS(NONSUITED CARDS), AND 56 MINOR ARCANA CARDS(SUITED CARDS). EACH DECK USUALLY COMES WITH ITS OWN INTERPRETATION, WHILE OVERALL THE GENERAL INTERPRETAIONS ARE SIMILAR, THEY MAY VARY SLIGHTLY DEPENDING ON THE CREATOR OF THE DECK AS WELL AS THE READER. THERE ARE ALSO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES OF READINGS THAT CAN BE DONE USING THE CARDS.
DESPITE NEGATIVE CONNOTATIONS ATTACHED TO TAROT, IT REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR FORMS OF DIVINATION.
