The story of the Tarot is a mysterious one.

Some say it started in ancient Egypt,


while others think it came from India, Morocco or the Hebrew Book of Torah.
Although we dont know for sure what their origins are, it is clear that the purpose
of Tarot cards has always been to use symbols and themes to shed light on the
present and to predict the future.

Tarot cards work much like a storybook without words. Each card depicts a
symbol. Depending on where the card is placed, it could mean different things. It
is up to the reader to interpret the meaning of the card. Practice and observation
are key to becoming a good Tarot reader. A little psychic intuition doesnt hurt
either!

To use this deck, look at the cards and pay attention to the characters and what
