Tarot
The Tarot is a pack of colorful, mysterious cards , said to be the ancestors of our modern playing cards. Card games are still played with them here and in Europe but they are far more widely used for gaining insight into a situation or just to get a message from the "Universe".

Tarot’s mysterious history
All sorts of theories and legends have gathered around the cards, because of their puzzling yet enticing symbolism and the uncertainty of their origin.
It has been claimed that the Tarot preserves the mystery religion of Mitheras, Celtic Traditions, the beliefs of Medieval Heretics, or the teaching of a committee of learned Cabbalists who, it is thought, designed the pack in Morocco in the year 1200.
The imagery has also been connected to the collective unconscious or to the symbolism of Dante’s Divine Comedy. The name of Tarot itself has been thought to be derived from Egyptian, Hebrew or Latin language. No matter what your theory or belief, the Tarot Cards have something peculiarly fascinating about them.
Modern packs are extremely varied in their illustrations, but some of the older cards are very beautiful and have an air of profound significance. They tug at the half buried memories and empowerment of the mind, and have associations with mythology, legend, magic and folk belief. They give an impression of holding the key to some vital secret, which cannot quite be put into words, but is almost in the mind's grasp when it slips elusively away. It is because they do this that so many different meanings have been read into them.
