Tarot deck for beginners

Here is all the infomation you need to know about the tarot deck.

The standard tarot deck consists of 78 cards, comprising 22 major arcana cards and 56 minor arcana cards.
The word arcana is latin in derivation, and means secrate.

The origin of Tarot is the subject of much debate. It has been suggested that they were conceived in Egypt and their name is a corruption of Thoth (The ancient Egyptian god of magic) conversely, others beleive that tarot cards began in china, India, or ancient Greece.
There is some evidence that cards existed in fourteenth-century Germany, Belgium, and France (The word Tarot is the french name for the cards) but the first reference to the Tarot as we know it, with its major and minor arcanas, was in Italy during the fifteenth century.

There is no rule about acquiring tarot cards. Superstition holds that it is unlucky to buy your own cards or, conversely, that it is equally unlucky to be given them. Buy them for yourself or others, and receive them with grace. The essential part of working with the cards is to choose those that instinctively appeal to you.


When working with a new deck of cards, it is important that you become familiar with them. some tarot readers suggest sleeping with the deck under your pillow for the first seven days that they are brought into your home. weather you decide to do this or not, it is important to spend time studying each individual card, and look up its associated interpretation. Take note of those cards with which you feel less comfortable, and consider their positive meanings. quite often, These are the "Bad" cards, such as The tower, Death, or the Devil. However even those cards that appear unfortunate usually have a good side, offering insight and a constructive way to deal with even the worst circumstances.

Finally it is important that you dissuade people from playing with or using your cards, particualy when you are still bonding with a new deck. the cards are sensitive to your energies. so the more you handle them, the more accurate the readings are. other peoples energies can cause confusion, therefore, always be the last person to touch them after a reading. keep your cards wrapped in black or dark purple silk in a favourite box when they are not being used. always care for them and treat them with respect.
