Tarot Cards - Fortune Telling - Divination

While The Roots of Tarot are in the occult tradition, the interest is on the cards expanded in recent decades to include many different perspectives. The new roof created that reflects these interests. Tarot is usually seen as an instrument of divination. The traditional tarot reading is a search engine - one that is seeking answers to personal questions - and a - Reader from someone who knows how to interpret the cards. After the applicant has considered and reduction of cover, the reader provides the selected letters in a pattern called the spread. Each position in the spread has a meaning and each card has a meaning. Reader combines these two meanings to shed light on the question of form.

An aura of darkness, clinging to the tarot cards, even now. Some religions reject the cards, conviction and the scientific establishment as a symbol of irrationality, a remnant of an unenlightened past. Leaving aside these dark images for now and consider the tarot simply because it is - a deck of cards image. The projection is one reason why the tarot cards are valuable. Your photos and intriguing standards are effective in the use of the unconscious. This is the personal aspect of tarot cards, but also has a legal component. As humans, we all have certain needs and experiences.

The images capture these universal tarot cards moments and implement them consistently. People tend to react the same way to cards because they represent archetypes. For many centuries, Tarot has become a collection of the most basic standards of human thought and emotion. The power of the tarot comes from the combination of personal and universal. You can see every letter in his way, but at the same time, is supported by understanding that others have found the meaning. The Tarot is a mirror that reflects back for you the hidden aspects of his own conscience. Let the guide tarot cards. Play with the cards and work on you own meanings them and see if you experience some surprises.

Used the term "Tarot" or the "Tarot" is a deck of 78 cards comprising four suits of 14 cards each (there's one more card than the ordinary courts parcels - the Knight, or Knight Rider) and 22 symbols of The calling card per triumphs. These are numbered 1-21 inclusive, the card is marked 22 to zero, 0 The success of these designs are very unique, and also as representations of death, the devil, the youngest court, etc.

The idea that the first cards were "invented" much fun per Charles VI of France is now exploded, and it is worth noting here deserve to have their alleged "inventor" Jacques Gringonneur, a Kabbalist and astrologer was. In addition, the cards have been known before that time, between the Indians and Chinese. Etteilla in fact, in one of his writings on the tarot a representation of the mystical arrangement of these cards in the temple of Ptah, Memphis, and says:

") On a table or altar, at the height of the breast of an Egyptian magician (or Dad, on the one hand of cards or a book or a plate assembly of gold (Tarot) and the other a vase, etc. were." This is a further on the ideas of P. Christian (the disciple of Eliphas Levi expanded), in his "Histoire de la Magie," in which I have occasion to see later. The leaders of the major Tarots have the court Gebelin, Levi and Etteilla, always on the Tarot Qabalistico Egyptian origin, which I in my research in this area, which extended over several years assigned.

W. Hughes Willshire, in its opinion on the general history of playing cards, said: "The earliest records have reached us are the Tarot character. These are the four cards of the Museo Correr in Venice, the seventeen pieces of the Cabinet of Paris (often mistakenly or papers referred Gringonneur of Charles VI of 1392), to place five Venetian Tarots of the fifteenth century, an opinion of some, not a date prior to 1425, and the number of cards are in possession of the Countess Aurelia Visconti Gonzaga at Milan, as Cicognara said."

WA Chatto, in his History of Playing Cards, "says that cards invented in China as early as AD 1120, during the reign of Seun-Ho, to the amusement of his numerous concubine.

JF Vaillant, in "Les Romes, Histoire des vraie vraies Boheme," said Paris, 1857, that the Chinese have a drawing or series of subjects, divided on the combination of the number 7. "There is so much like the Tarot, which are four colors of the latter in the first four columns, twenty-two p.m. Atouts occupy the fifth column, and the other seven aces sixth column. Atouts The sixth column is that six of the seven-day week of creation. Well, according to the Chinese, this representation belongs to the early days of the empire, with the drainage of water from the flood of the ILO, the conclusion is, therefore, is an original or a copy of the Tarot, and in any case, the second part of an older origin, a Moses, the one at the beginning of our time, the time of the creation of the Zodiac, and consequently it must have 6.600 years of existence. "

But despite the apparent boldness of this statement should be clear that the Tarot reflection, as the ten digits of the counter in decimal scale with the tetrad changed, and a hieroglyphic alphabet of twenty - Due mystic symbols, must be the first time in history the world will be banished, and is usually associated with the introduction of cards in Europe, and you can take the fact of the Tarot of the origin of modern paper has now come fairly well established consensus conclusions.

E 'de Gebelin court was that in his Primitif Monde (Paris 1781), wrote: "If we feel that in our daily work of the ancient Egyptians, one of her books that were there to escape the flames devoured their superb libraries and interesting, with its pure doctrine on issues, without doubt, would all be anxious to acquire the knowledge of such extraordinary and valuable work. we were to add that this book is much more widespread across Europe and that it was long for many centuries open to all, there would be still more surprised? It is not surprising that would be at the peak of people who say they never suspected was an Egyptian, which I can not be said to possess all, that has not ever tried to decipher a single leaf, and that the result of an esoteric wisdom is as a mass of extravagant designs which mean nothing in regards to himself: If it were not people think they were trying to have fun and play at the gullibility of the audience?

"But this is a true fact. This book is Egyptian, is the only remains of their great libraries, there are still so common that no scientist has designed each treatment at this stage, nobody suspected illustrious have before me the origin. This book is from seventy-seven or brochures, or rather seventy-eight into five classes, each of different objects so fun and informative are divided. In a word come, this is the book of cards deck of tarot cards.

Consider the word Tarot, or taro, and discover, if possible, its true origin and meaning. Gebelin court that there are three words of Eastern origin nomenklatura still in the herd. This is Taro, MAT and pagado. Taro, he says, is purely Egyptian, from TAR, Path, and RO, ROS, or ROG, Royal - the way of real life. MAT is Oriental, meaning overwhelmed killed, crack-brain during pagado, "he adds, is also Oriental, in the form P, Chief, master, and GAD, Fortune. Vailant says: "The great god Astaroth, As-taroth, nothing that is the Indo-Tatar Tan-tara, the Tarot, the Zodiac." My derivation of the word have I ever given by an author who is from the Egyptian hieroglyphic word "Taru", require a response, or consult with, ergo, what has been consulted, or whether it is necessary for a reaction. This seems to be the origin of the word correctly, while the second is a tonne of fine Egyptian hieroglyphics, which will be added to indicate the female sex. Below you will find interesting metathesis of the letters of Taro: Torah (Hebrew) = Law; troa (Hebrew) = Gate; ROTA (Latin) = wheel; ORAT (Latin) = talk, argument or supplication; Taoro (Egyptian) = Taur, The Goddess of Darkness; ATOR (Egyptian) = Athor, the Egyptian Venus. A Mr. Lumley tells me that there is a Zend word "tarisk" which means responsive action. "

There are Italian, Spanish, German and Tarot pack, and since the time of Etteilla French, but they are not so good for the investigation by hiding Etteilla has tried to repair "of the symbolism. The Italian is definitely the best for practical purposes of divination and occultism, and I come up with the present contract basis. Unfortunately, the single-headed old cards are obsolete, and the facts are only two points that changed circumstance, the symbolism in a few cases. I am, therefore, that, if necessary, omitted part of the design presented in more detail being included in parentheses mark the same Pro.

As I mentioned earlier, there is a pack of tarot cards seventy-eight - ie, seeds of four numbered cards per vierzehn and twenty-two trumps simbólico. The four suits are:

Italian	French	English	Correspondence
Bastoni	Bâtons	Wands, Sceptres, or Clubs	Diamonds
Coppé	Coupes	Cups, Chalices, or Goblets	Hearts
Spadé	Épées	Swords	Spades
Denari	Deniers	Coins, Circles, or Pentacles	Clubs

Each color is composed of Ace, Deuce, Three, Four, Five, Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, or service = Fanti Bebo Cavallo = Knight or Knight, Dama or Reine = Queen, King = king.

The Kings take a cap in every case of service under the crown, the queen takes the crown alone. Queen of Pentacles and the Knave of Rod are the only ones represented in profile. In the king's scepter, dress like a stick helps as shown on the boards a little suit, while the other three awards was a stick, which is similarly displayed for the ace. The suit of cups, only what is covered in the possession of the Queen, Malthus, that the properties of that color shows essentially feminine, while the scepter of the king of costume ideas instead, like his character more manly.

If the cards we are eleven strokes from small comparative sample similarities scepter and the spade, which can be examined only be distinguished from each other, the former the latter must be straight and the curve. There are also notice that the Deuces its own character, which distinguish them from the rest of the color. The Deuce scepter form of a cross with two roses and lilies given opposite corners, the cross between the Rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley. The Deuce of Cups shows a sidewalk Tesselaar or cloth on which stand the cups, among them is replacing one type of Caduceus Snakes Who by the head of Leo foliations, The Chnuphis remember the Serpent of the Gnostics, and the forms of the family, some from the elements, practical occultist Sapri one, what I mean. The Deuce of Swords form a kind Vesica piscis enclosing a mystic of the primary colors Rose. The Deuce of Pentacles is bound by a continuous fasza, a figure 8 shape and is one of the other as a reflection of how the universe of divine ideas.

The four aces are distinguished from the rest of the pack, each form, so to speak, the key to its respective color. The Ace of Scepter remember the Club of Hercules, is used by eight sheets Stakka, shape, surrounded reminds us that the Hebrew letters Yod, or I, and is crowned with the symbol of the Triad cut by the three branches is it is the symbol of Almighty power to the third power of the world, it is shown by the eight leaves eight Cubical is the first number. The Ace of Cups is of Egyptian origin, which can be seen most easily in the Tarot Spanish. The image, like an inverted M on its face, is all about snakes Egyptian twins who originally set up. It represents the waters of creation in the first chapter of Genesis. And "the symbol of power and replaced by the change. The Ace of Swords is a sword with a crown to be overcome, they are on both sides of an oil and a palm branch, symbol of mercy and severity are six to Hebrew Yod Recalling the six days of creation Mosaic. And the symbol of justice, she maintains that the world order, the balance of mercy and severity. The Ace of Pentacles represents a summary of all the great Eternal visible universe, the achievement of a balanced power .

The 22 victories are the hieroglyphics of the occult significance of the 22 letters of the Hebrew. They are numbered 0-21 inclusive. (See table).

If we want represented a solid basis for the study of symbols in the 22 Major Arcana, the Tarot, we can put on one side for a moment, and we are dedicated to this ancient science. It alone can achieve our goal, not the search for explanation of symbols, but leads us to create a note of them arising from fixed and principles. We will therefore work with a completely new, at the same time, if possible, to fall into errors that result from the efforts of the symbols of the Tarot itself, to explain, rather than trying to solve for their original source.

The first step in finding these special symbols leads us to the serious problem of the origin of symbolism to discuss themselves. We can not give up, let alone to solve this question with us, then cite the opinions of various authors on this topic. The truth, with the unity of criteria, the agreement reached different conclusions at a certain point, it is a valuable guide for us. Claude de Saint-Martin, the unknown philosopher, says in his book, the Livre des rapports, that the initial alphabet consists of sixteen characters. Received this data, as we say, from intuitive revelation, combined with the teachings of the Enlightenment, which is one of the members. Lacour, in his book on the Elohim or Gods of Moses, inductively the existence of a primitive alphabet designed, assembled from sixteen characters.

Another author, Barrois, pursued questions of a different nature, also concluded the existence of sixteen signs early in his system of dactylology. But the work of the Court de Gebelin and above all, by Fabre d'Olivet, the most notable in this regard. In its Langue Hébraïque restituee, learned of this introduction, the existence of primitive hieroglyphics, which were derived from Hebrew letters. All these authors agree, from very different points in their conclusions, and that gives us a strong argument in favor of the truth of their investigations. But it does not matter to us if these 16 early signs are the direct source, both in Hebrew, Sanskrit, Chinese and Greek letters. The identity of the source is usually busy to respond to the identity of results and one of these secondary alphabets for our purposes.

The Hebrew alphabet consists of 22 letters, it seems best for us because the correspondence between the number of letters and the mysteries of our Tarot. There will be adopted as the starting point of our study, the Hebrew alphabet of 22 letters, derived from 16 original hieroglyphics. This conclusion is hardly achieved, as new light shines on us from all sides. Guillaume Postel reveals the link between the Hebrew letters and Tarot, Van Helmont fils. Claude de Saint-Martin, Fabre d'Olivet, which we all recognize, in our opinion, finally, Eliphas Levi also throws the weight of its wonderful culture in this area. But we are surprised that the Sepher Yetzirah, an old book of Kabbalah, which includes a study on the formation of the Hebrew alphabet, a division of the letters, which comes only with astrological data contained in an ancient manuscript in the Vatican, on the Christian chart based on his work.

One and the same conclusion of all these different points of view: the value of Hebrew letters as its symbol. In him we have a real symbol of which we can examine not only the meanings but also the origin. We could then only to a tarot Hebrew letters and numbers together, but this is not our job, we look forward to in the symbolism of the Jewish character of the symbolism of the Tarot, and we are so clearly our intention to assess the value of deductive figures of the Tarot and why they were chosen.
