Tarot Card Reading Made Easyby Daniel Brown From the Site... "In just a 1 hour you can start learning what the greatest Tarot readers in the world already know… You can find your hidden psychic powers and have them work for you 24 hours a day… My book is not like any other Tarot book... every section in the book is there because I answered real live questions from people like you..." Destiny & Tarot Although people are familiar with the fact that nobody can escape from being responsible for his or her actions, hundreds of beliefs, philosophies, theories and speculation have over the centuries attempted to answer the question “Is our life’s course predetermined or are we responsible for our destiny?” No matter which view you support, it is important to realize that the two extremes, idealism versus materialism, and all the theories in-between them, deal with our greatest fear: our future self. Since there is no right or wrong answer to this question, what one realizes, after studying some of the debated theories, is that all theories explain some parts and aspects of the world, but never all of it. Thus, more elusive theories dealing with the ability of the individual to interfere with what others consider as a static, fixed destiny line, has led people to philosophical debates, which led to some very interesting ideas. But regardless of how fatalistic you consider your future to be, the difference between the boundary lines of your past, present and future is subject only to your own perspective. Some thinkers introduced the notion that the present is actually a thin line between the past and the future, which actually cannot be seen or realized by the human mind. That is simply explained if you consider that at the point you realize that something is happening –in your present state– it actually already belongs to the past. On the other hand, if something is still in progress its conclusion belongs to the future. But for most of us, the past seems to be static, fixed and immovable, while the future evolves constantly, remaining unknown, undetermined and subtle. The present is the greater mystery of all, moving at the highest speed imaginable that becomes more complex and mysterious the more one tries to explain and understands it. Under this notion, it is clear that the Tarot motifs refer directly to fundamental human psychological and spiritual experiences. The more one studies them and practices their use, the deeper one's understanding becomes, and the more they resonate to the inner life, as well as to events in the outer life. Primarily created to be used for enlightenment and the discovery of the authentic self, the Tarot cards can only give us hints on our present acts and the forces that influence our decision making process. Though we will probably never know our final course, this should not prevent us from using the Tarot cards to exercise our understanding of ourselves and the world around us and increase our wisdom. For the Tarot cards do indeed tell a powerful story: the story of the development of human life. Thus, no matter to which school of though you believe you belong, you do have to go through the journey of life well-prepared and fight the obstacles that might undermine your goals. In this universal story of self-actualization, each of us undertakes his or her way, following whatever symbolism speaks to us at the moment a situation is occurring. It is the same amazing flexibility to alter the meaning and the course of action that has allowed the Tarot cards and its marvelous symbols to survive through the centuries and be transferred to our contemporary times in order to assist our personal quest.

Online Tarot Guide Tarot cards possibly originated in Europe in the 1100s, and the earliest known specimens of tarot card decks are said to be from North Italy. These could go back to the early-to-mid-15th century. These were called carte da trionfi or "cards of the triumph' and were later used to play a game called 'Tarocchi.' These could have been derived from playing cards that came into Christian Europe between 1375 and 1380. First discovered in China, these cards probably came through the Arabic route to Islamic Spain and then spread across Europe. These were similar to the 52-card pack in use today. There are usually 78 cards in a deck of tarot cards. Special motifs were assigned to cards, taken from different ideas in philosophy, poetry, and astronomy. They were also borrowed from Roman, Greek and Babylonian mythology. The two main types of tarot cards are the major arcana and the minor arcana. The major arcana have 21 trump cards along with a fool card. The minor arcana have 56 cards, going up from the ace to 10. There have four different suits - the wand, cup, sword and the pentacle. There are also four court cards: the page, knight, king and queen. Tarot cards are connected to the occult and divination. Tarot card readers tried to divine a person's past, present and future. Some of the earliest known tarot card readers were Etteilla, Marie-Anne Le Normand and Antoine Court de Gebelin. Etteilla was a French occultist who lived before the French revolution. His actual name was Alliette, but it was with this changed name that he became famous as a seer and card diviner. The first set of cryptic symbols were designed by him. Many of these were a derivation of the Marseille designs. The Hermetic Revival in the 1840s made tarot readings more popular. Eliphas Levi is attributed with using the cards as a mystical key to see the future. He is also considered the real founder of the true Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie or the Transcendental Magic school of tarot. These interpretations are also linked to the Kabbala. In 1910, the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot came up with symbolic imagery with divine meanings, increasing the popularity of tarot card divination. There are many who consider modern day tarot cards more interesting as these have grown and evolved through centuries of interpretations. Today there are special symbols for feminists, cat lovers, computer specialists in Silicon Valley, baseball players and many other groups of people in modern life. Carl Jung, the famous psychiatrist and psychologist, used tarot cards to help patients. He was probably interested in the archetypes that the tarot cards represented. It is still used by some psychiatrists who might ask a patient to choose a card representing himself or someone else. It is based on the fact that essentially symbols are archetypes. Tarot cards have inspired many stories and films. The tarot practiced by witches has been used in the James Bond movie Live and Let Die. T.S Eliot used it extensively in his poem The Waste Land. The video game 'March of the Black Queen' has tarot cards woven into the game. In this age of hi-tech science, there is still a place for the magic of tarot!
