The first Tarot is a card game known most often numbering seventy from the Middle of the fifteenth century in various parts of Europe to play cards, like Italian and French Tarot. From the late 18th century until today the Tarot has also been used by mystics and occultists in efforts to divination, or a map of trails mental and spiritual. The Tarot has four colors corresponding to the colors of traditional playing cards. Each of these colors has numbered cards numbered from ace to ten, and four picture cards for a total of fourteen maps. In addition, the Tarot is distinguished by a 21 separate asset and a card, known as the fool. Depending on the game can act the fool as a superior or trump be played, follow this example to be avoided. Rabelais Tarau as the name is one of the games of Gargantua and Pantagruel in his game; this is probably the most ancient testimony of the French form of the name.

Tarot cards are used in much of Europe, to play cards. English speaking countries where these games are largely unknown, Tarot cards are now used mainly for divination purposes. Occultists call the trump cards of the Major Arcana and the Fool during the PIP ten and four face cards in each suit are called small secrets. The cards will be followed by some writers of occult ancient Egypt or the Kabbalah, but there is no evidence of such origin, the use of Tarot for divination before the eighteenth century. playing cards in Europe, 14 in the late first century, probably from Mamluk Egypt, with suits of the Tarot is similar to the swords, rods, cups and coins, also known as disk, and staves, and even today traditional bridges Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. The first written reference is to prohibit the use in 1367, Berne, Switzerland. Width may be using the cards in Europe, with some certainty in 1377 to pursue.

The first known tarot cards were created 1430-1450 in Milan, Ferrara and Bologna in northern Italy, when additional trump cards with allegorical representations of the four common-pack clothes were added. These new decks were originally triumph cards, cards of triumph and add-on cards, as Triumphs, socks became known in English. The first literary triumphs evidence for the existence of papers by a written declaration to the court records in Ferrara, in 1442 the oldest surviving Tarot cards are from fifteen fragmented decks in the mid-15th century for the paint Visconti Sforza, ruler of Milan. divination using playing cards as evidence already in 1540 a book called oracles of Francesco Marcolini da Forli, which allows a simple method of predicting whether the card to be used only to select a random oracle and have no meaning in itself . But Manuscripts of 1735, the square Sevens 1750 and Pratesi Cartomancer this document rudimentary divinatory meanings for Tarot cards and a system for laying cards. Giacomo Casanova in his diary in 1765 that his Russian mistress frequently used a deck cards for the divination.

Picture Card packs are the first time by Marti at Tortona, probably 1418-1425, since in 1418 the painter said there Michelino Besozzo, back in Milan, while Martha died in January of 1425, he describes a deck of cards with photo of sixteen images of Greek gods and view dress four types of birds, but the clothes common. But sixteen cards were obviously regarded as trump cards, as twenty five years later, when Jacopo Antonio Marcello triumphorum them a ludus, or play a winner. special reasons on the cards as well as regular show packs philosophical ideas, social, poetical, astronomical and heraldic, Roman/Greek/Babylonian heroes, as in the case of Sola-Busca-Tarot 1491 Tarot and Boiardo's poem, written on an unknown date between 1461 and 1494 two playing card decks of Milan, the Brera Brambrilla and Cary-Yale Tarot-existing, but fragmented, were made around 1440 Three instruments from 1 January 1441 to July 1442, the term triumphs. The document of January 1441 is considered unreliable, but the painter himself Sagramoro, with the same patron, Lionello d'Este, as was given in February 1442 a document in order. The match seemed an increasingly important role in 1450, a Jubilee year in Italy, which saw many festivities and the movement of many pilgrims. Three mid-15th centuries is made for members of the House Visconti deck first, and probably the prototype is called Cary-Yale Visconti tarot or tarot Modrone, was created from 1442-1447 by an anonymous painter Filippo Maria Visconti.

The cards are only now in the collection of Gary Beinecke Rare Book Library at Yale University, New Haven. The most famous was painted in the mid-15th century to celebrate Francesco Sforza and his wife, Bianca Maria Visconti, daughter of Duke Filippo Maria. Those cards were probably painted by Bonifacio Bembo and Francis Zavattari in 1451/53. The original cards, thirty-five in the Pierpont Morgan Library, twenty-six are the Academia Carrara, thirteen are in the House was Colleoni and two; "The Devil" and "The Tower of lost, or at least never did. The deck Visconti-Sforza that reproduces the wide shows the conventional iconography of the time significantly. hand-painted tarot cards is still a privilege of the upper classes, and although some sermons railing against the harm associated maps can be traced back to the 14th century, the most civil governments did not routinely condemn tarot cards during the first Tarot history. Indeed, in some jurisdictions, Tarot cards have been specifically laws that otherwise prohibit the reproduction of papers exception. As soon as the hand-painted tarot cards were produced the number of bridges is thought that rather small, and it was only after the invention of printing, the mass production of maps was possible. Bridges survive from this era from various cities in France, where the most popular model now is a bridge in the southern city of Marseille, the so-called Tarot of Marseille.

The original purpose of the Tarot for the games with the first ground rules, which lies in the writing of Martyr Tortona before the game of Tarot 1425 it is known in many variants especially cultural, first the basic rules for the game of Tarot appear in the writing of Marti from Tortona in 1425, translated text, the more known than the year 1637. In Italy the game has become less important, is a survivor version named Tarocco Bolognese: the nineteenth century, and there are other works in Piedmont, but the number of games outside of Italy is much higher. The French Tarot is the most popular game in his home country and there are games Tarot regional level are often much like tarot cards, tarot or Tarock played in central Europe known. Tarot then is linked with mysticism and magic. Tarot was not far from the mystics, occultists and secret societies accepted until the ages 18 and 19. The tradition started in 1781; when Antoine Court de Gebelin, a Swiss clergyman and Freemason, published Le Monde Primitif contain a speculative study of religious symbolism and its vestiges in the modern world.

Gebelin De says, first, that the symbolism of the Tarot Marseille represented the mysteries of Isis and Thoth. Gebelin was also claimed that the name derives from the word Egyptian Tarot of tar, which means royal, and ro, road, and that the tarot, therefore, a royal road to wisdom. De Gebelin also claimed that the Gypsies, who were among the first Tarot cards used were descendants of the ancient Egyptians, hence the common name, even if it was more generally used as a stereotype for the nomadic tribe and had the introduction of cards for Europe. Gebelin De wrote this essay before Jean-François Champollion had deciphered Egyptian hieroglyphs and also in the Rosetta Stone was discovered, and later Egyptologists found nothing in the Egyptian language from fanciful etymologies Gebelin's support. But the identification of the Tarot has been consolidated with the Egyptian Book of Thoth already in occult practice and continues in the modern urban legend until now.

There are a variety of styles of tarot and drawings, and a number of typical regional patterns emerged. Historically, one of the most important projects is generally well known as the Tarot of Marseilles. The standard model has been studied from Corte de Gebelin and maps based on this style illustrate his Le Monde primitif. Tarot de Marseilles was also popular in the 20 century by Paul Marteau. Some current editions of cards based on the design back to Marseilles on a bridge in a Marseilles pattern assured that it has been printed by Nicolas Conver in 1760. Other regional styles include the Tarot Switzerland and this substitution Juno and Jupiter for Papesse or High Priestess and the Pope, or Hierophant. In Florence, known as an advanced platform Minchiate was used; ninety-six packs of cards include astrological symbols, including the four elements, as well as traditional Tarot reasons. French suited tarot cards began to appear in Germany in the 18th century. The first generation of French suited Tarots depicted scenes of animals, the trumps in his hand and called her from then on deck Tiertarock animal 'for' German animal.

“Card Maker Göbl of Monaco of Bavaria is often credited for this innovation in design. French suited tarot cards are used in a modern platform for the Tarot are/games tarot cards, often in France and the rest of Europe has played. The symbolism of French suited Tarot trumps may differ considerably from the Italian are older. With very few exceptions, such as the recent cases of the Tarot of Alan, of rebirth and Tarot de la Nature, French suited tarot cards are used almost exclusively for card games and rarely for divination. These were the first form of deck of tarot cards to be invented and first developed in the fifteenth century in northern Italy. The occult tarot decks are based on this type.

The Tarocco Piemontese consists of four suits of swords, sticks, bats and coins, each of a king, queen, knight and knave, points 10 to 1, followed directly. The trumps rank as follows: 20-Angel, even though she only took the second highest number is still the highest in the world 21, Sun 19, the moon, 18, Star 17, the tower 16, the Devil 15, temperance 14, death 13, the Hanged Man 12, thickness 11, Wheel of Fortune 10, 9 Hermit, Justice 8, 7 transport, 6 fans, Pope 5, Kaiser 4, Empress 3, 2 and Pope Joan Magician 1 There is also a fool Fool. The Swiss Tarot of Besançon is similar, but a different graphic design and replaced the Pope with Jupiter, the pope female with Juno, and the angel with the verdict. The trumps rank in numerical order, and the tower is known as the House of God Tarocco Bolognese omit numbers from two to five cards in plain clothes, so that with 62 cards, and has slightly different strengths, which are numbered and not all of whom four are equal. Has a different graphic design. Changes some of the Sicilian Tarot cards, and replaces the 21 identified by a poverty map Miseria.

The maps are fairly small, and yet another graphic design. Etteilla was the first to play a deck of tarot magazine designed specifically for covert purposes as the theme of the game. In line with the belief that the Tarot cards are from the book of Thoth Tarot Etteilla included topics related to ancient Egypt. The map used seventy-eight of the esoteric Tarot consists of two parts: The Major Arcana secrets or trump cards, consists of twenty-two non-suited cards, the Fool, Magician, High Priestess, Empress, Emperor, The Pope, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, the Devil, the tower, the star, the moon, the sun, the verdict, and the world. The lesser mysteries of fifty-six Minor Arcana cards divided into four colors fourteen cards, ten numbered cards and four cards face. The legal papers are King, Queen, Knight and Jack, in each of the four suits of tarot.

The traditional Italian tarot suits are swords, clubs/bars, coins and cups, in modern tarot, however, the batons suit is often referred to as bars, rods or bars, while the coins suit is often called pentacles or disks. The words small and big secrets were used by Jean Baptiste Pitois also known as Paul Christian and not in relation to games of cards of the Tarot. Tarot is often used in combination with the study of Hermetic Kabbalah. In these bridges, the cards will be issued in accordance with the principles of Kabbalah, mostly under the influence of the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, and illustrated with scenes of all graphs of color.

The images on the Rider-Waite "drawn by artist Pamela Colman Smith deck, the instructions of Christian mystic and occultist Arthur Edward Waite, and published by the Rider Company in 1910. This bridge is a simple, user-easy one, but its images, especially in the Major Arcana, is complex and full of esoteric symbolism. The themes of the Major Arcana are the first in the deck, but were significantly modified to reflect and display Waite Smith Tarot. An important difference between the Marseilles style decks is Smith has scenes of esoteric meanings on the suit cards. But the Rider-Waite was not the first bridge of colored paper is richly illustrated. The first to do so was the 15th century Sola-Busca deck. Ponti older, as The Visconti-Sforza and Marseilles are less detailed than the modern bridge esoteric. A Marseilles type deck is usually characterized by repetitive pleas on pip cards, similar to Italian or Spanish playing cards, such as full scenes found on Rider-Waite decks way forward. This simply shows the Marseilles style decks are used esoterically, divination, and for the game, even if the French game of Tarot cards is now generally played with a modern design instead of 19 German origin of the century.

That the tarot game generally has nine pm trumps with genre scenes from 19th Century life, a madman, and the court and pip cards, which are very similar to the French game card today. Bridges style in general with the Marseilles Tarot cards arcane ones, which are very similar to the pip cards of modern playing card deck numbered views. The Marseilles' numbered minor Arcana cards are not scenes painted on them, but they sport a geometric arrangement of the number of symbols, such as clothes, swords, rods/sticks, cups, coins/pentacles on the number of the card is not accompanied by botanical and other scenic grows, while the court cards are often presented with a flat, two dimensional drawings. Widely used modernist esoteric Tarot deck is Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot Thoth, pronounced/'a? T/O /'???/. Crowley, at the height of the work is dedicated to a life of occultism, engaged the artist Lady Frieda Harris to paint the deck of cards its specifications. His system of Tarot correspondences, in The Book of Thoth & Liber 777 will be released, a development and extension of what he has learned cat, Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. The variety of the bridge is currently available virtually endless, and growing every year. For example, gamers have the Tarot of Cat People, a deck full of cats in every picture.

The Tarot of the Witches and the Aquarian continuation of traditional Tarot cards with different designs. L 'Tree of Life Tarot cards are strong symbolic catalogs, the Tarot Cosmic Tarot and alchemy and traditional alchemical symbols with tarot images combined. For example, the Mother of Peace for the Tarot his turn and feminist perspective is considerable: the male characters have been replaced by women.

This deck retains the Rider-Waite theme while adding some very soft and colorful Pagan symbolism. As with other decks, the cards are written in a book, accompanied by Mrs. Wood, who uses all of the details of the symbolism and colors in the Major and Minor Arcana unconventionality. Is an extreme Tarot Morgan, produced in 1970 by Morgan Robbins made and illustrated by Darshan Zenith Chorpash Tarot.

Morgan has no clothes, no paper and without an explicit order of evaluation of papers. She eighty cards in place of conventional seventy-eight, and his simple line drawings to show a strong influence of psychedelic period. Robbins claims spiritual inspiration for the cards, and identifies the influence of Tibetan Buddhism in particular. The tarot created by AE Waite and Pamela Coleman Smith differs from the previous project with the use of tarot cards numerals stage and the change must be regarded as the strength and the papers of Justice. Each card in the Thoth Deck is closely associated with astrological zodiac elementary and cabalistic symbols for each card in the context explained. The colors are used symbolically to stand above all the cards with the five elements of spirit, fire, water, air and soil in context. Crowley has written a book - for accompany the Book of Thoth Crowley to describe, extend, and on the deck and uses the data on the internal road. Contrary to the Waite-Smith Thoth Tarot retain the traditional order of the cards, but uses an alternative nomenclature for the two trumps in his hand, and the court. "Hermetic Tarot archetypes serve as a textbook and mnemonic device for teaching and investigation of the Gnosis of alchemical symbolic language and its deep philosophical meaning and function.

An example of this practice is found in the rituals of 19th century Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. In the 20th century hermetic use of archetypes of the Tarot as a guide and revealer of eternal wisdom, has been developed in the work of Carl Gustav Jung and his research on the psyche and imagination active. An example of 21st Century of a deck of tarot cards is that the roots of Hermetic Tarot revisited a black blanket and white book for the great mysteries of Leigh J. McCloskey.
