Tarot cards are a pack of playing cards that have been used since at least the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play card games such as Tarocchini. There are two distinct types of tarot pack in circulation today: those used for card games and those used for divination. Tarot card reading is a form of cartomancy whereby practitioners use tarot cards to purportedly gain insight into the past, present, or future. Tarot cards are used for personal guidance and spiritual growth, and practitioners often believe that they can help individuals explore their spiritual path. The cards are meant to provide insight into the innermost truths of ones higher self, and they provide an evolved awareness of what one already knows deep within. Tarot cards are not meant to tell the future or reveal someones fortune, but rather they are a tool for spiritual guidance that enables the person receiving the reading to connect to their inner wisdom. Tarot cards can help individuals explore their spiritual path, gain insight into a situation, and determine the best course of action based on what is known and what the cards show. The cards are a storytelling device, a deck of symbols and narratives that can spark conversations, inspire ideas, and reveal new perspectives.
