Tarot Psychic Readings – What Can The Tarot Tell You About Your Future?

Tarot psychic readings……have you had one?  And if so…are they FACT, or fiction?  If you are a big fan of psychic readings and the magical mystery of symbology,  you are probably a big fan of tarot readers.  Myself?  I’ve had tons of amazing psychic readings, and while I was hesitant to go to a tarot reader for quite a while, over time I became a “convert” to the power of the cards..:-)

Now understand this – the tarot, in my view, are only as accurate as the psychic who is interpreting their meaning.  I don’t believe the cards, by themselves hold the secret per se to what is coming next.  It is the insight, and intuition of the psychic who is able to “divine” the meaning behind the symbolism and the story…that is truly breathtaking to behold.  (I’ve had some tarot readings that started out ordinary….and then suddenly became SO eerily accurate I couldn’t believe my eyes…..or my ears!)

With that said – here is some interesting, and surprising history of the tarot….including some facts about it’s lineage – and use in more primitive cultures I didn’t know!  Pretty interesting and well worth reading if you are into understanding more about the Tarot through time.  (or if you simply want to get to the GOOD stuff and get a tarot psychic reading yourself.…check out our #1 recommendation for killer readings that WILL blow you away!)

Tarot cards would later become associated with mysticism and magic.[20] Tarot was not widely adopted by mystics, occultists and secret societies until the 18th and 19th centuries. The tradition began in 1781, when Antoine Court de Gébelin, a Swiss clergyman and Freemason, published Le Monde Primitif, a speculative study which included religious symbolism and its survivals in the modern world.

Gébelin further claimed that the name “tarot” came from the Egyptian words tar, meaning “royal”, and ro, meaning “road”, and that the Tarot therefore represented a “royal road” to wisdom. De Gébelin also asserted that the Gypsies, who were among the first to use cards for divination, were descendants of the Ancient Egyptians (hence their common name; though by this time it was more popularly used as a stereotype for any nomadic tribe) and had introduced the cards to Europe.

Despite this, the identification of the Tarot cards with the Egyptian Book of Thoth was already firmly established in occult practice and continues in modern urban legend to the present day.
