The Origins of the Tarot

Nobody knows for certain where tarot cards came from, but they
seem to share the same roots as playing cards and the game of
chess. There are claims put forward that China, India or Egypt is
the birth place of the tarot. There is an account of cards being
used for fortune telling in the fourteenth century. French court
when a gypsy was brought into entertain the king, she was able
to describe intimate details about him and future advents, which
then the king decided to ban the cards from the court. Since
then tarot cards have gone through a number of phases of
popularity and banishment over the years. Some people think
that the tarot cards are slightly dangerous in some unspecified
way, which only serves to increase their attraction in actual
fact, tarot cards are not in the least dangerous as they rely upon
the intuition, and possible psychic powers of the reader, and in
no way release dangerous or frightening forces if the reader
treats and respects the cards, then they can be a useful guide
to the future.
