The epic of tarot cards started around the 15th century, a century after cards were introduced in Europe starting with the rising towns in Italy. The evolution of Tarot as we know it now has a medley of stories and legends. The mystical quality of tarot cards intrigues historians, scholars and spiritualists. Tarot cards were prime used as game allotments like regular decks, variant from what we think of tarot cards now, although a reference to Tarot as a set of devil cards was made in 1450. The grounding of tarot cards started in Egypt, which is the same civilization that championed astrology.



The prevailing tarot deck is separated into what is commonly named the major arcana or trump cards and minor arcane or suits of cards. The trump cards or major arcana consist of twenty two cards, every one of without suits. These include the Fool, the Magician, the Empress, Justice, the Wheel of Fortune and others. The minor arcana is made up of of four suits of cards; swords, staves, cups and coins. Today, staves are often christened wands, but rods or batons are seen as well. Coins might be named disks or pentacles in some tarot decks.

The card reader then shuffles the cards and lays them out in a particular pattern. Preferred patterns include a single card reading, a three card reading, and a Celtic Cross reading, which is a reading of 10 dissimilar cards.
