Tarot cards originated in Italy during the 14th century, quickly spreading to France and Britain. Over time, they underwent significant design and meaning development, influenced by multiple cultures, including Asian, ancient Egyptian, and Indian civilizations.
Tarot cards have long been considered a profound symbolic tool, reflecting the emotions, aspirations, and challenges within the human soul. They rely on a language of symbols and metaphors, offering a gateway for self-reflection and introspection.
Carl Jung, the founder of analytical psychology, used tarot as a tool to help understand unconscious patterns, seeing it as a mirror that reflects the psychological structures of the human mind. From this perspective, tarot reading provides a space for reflection, analysis, and re-evaluation of certain life experiences and situations, aiding in making more conscious and informed decisions.
A tarot reader should possess specific qualities such as excellent knowledge in the symbolism of the cards and psychology thru studying and training, as well as strong intuition, spiritual sensitivity, empathy, and a real desire to help others.
Common inaccurate beliefs have been passed around about Tarot reading. Tarot reading is not based on predictions of future events but is about advising people, and it does not rely on the cards alone but on the human interaction between a Tarot reader and his client.
