Origins of Tarot Reading
The origin of the tarot reading is still a mystery. One thing for
sure is that the cards were used in Italy in the 15th century as a popular
card game. Wealthy patrons commissioned beautiful decks, some of which
have survived until now. The Visconti-Sforza, created in 1450s, is one
of the oldest and most complete decks.
Later in the 18th and 19th centuries, the cards were
found by a number of important scholars of the occult. They were fascinated
by the tarot reading and recognized that the images on the cards were
more powerful than just a popular card game would suggest. They revealed
or recreated the history of the tarot reading by connecting the cards
to Egyptian mysteries, the Kabbalah, Hermetic philosophy, alchemy, and
other mystical systems. All these pursuits continued into the early part
of the 20th century when the tarot reading was incorporated into the practices
of various secret societies, one of them was the Order of the Golden Dawn.
Despite the origins of tarot reading are in the occult
tradition, interest in the cards has spread in the last few decades to
include many different aspects. New decks have been created that reflect
these interests. There are Native American, Japanese decks, herbal, dragon
and among others.
What is a Tarot Reading?
Tarot reading is like a mirror that reflects our conscious and unconscious ways of thinking, speaking and behaving. It tells us about our joys, sorrows, struggles, passions, prejudices, likes, dislikes, dreams and fears.
Each of the 78 cards is permeated with several layers of occult meanings. In the same way the cards can be spread or laid out in several formations, permutations and combinations.
Each pattern depends upon the quirks and oddities of the reader. Therefore, each layout has different placements or positions for cards and each of which has its own meaning.
As a tarot card reader, you may be required to counsel your clients about their problems in several areas such as career, love, relationships, jobs, litigation, marital issues, business, education, health and so on.
You cannot tell everyone to change his thought and behavior patterns without convincing them about the importance of the change for the betterment of their life. You may also have to provide them with moral support for the change. You will have to educate them about selecting new options.
All this effort requires a deep study and understanding of human nature. It requires great amount of patience and dedication to learn the skills of tarot reading. It may take years to become a successful tarot reader.
