Tarot cards do not come from Egypt and they were not intended for fortune telling. The tarot deck was created in 15th century Italy for playing a card game similar to bridge. It was only in the 18th century that it began to be associated with the occult. Tarot games are still played today in Europe, especially in France. Many of the players today are using a more modern looking deck with spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs and the trump pictures have very different scenes than the fortune telling decks.

so as a bible, made to scare kids, IDK but isisnt it hte same things we do?
@arialburnz The games are enjoyable in their own right. There’s already a lot of focus on tarot divination. Some focus on games is much needed.
True. I lived many years in Europe and there are a LOT of things Americans are ignorant about. Your video is very accurate and portrays the true history of the tarot cards. I’m not exactly sure why we need to be so focused on them as a game. I play a lot of games with the tarot AND I use them for divination. They’re fun either way.
That’s my two pence…

@arialburnz Tarot cards are still used for games today in Europe it’s just that Americans are kept ignorant about it. We Americans should be educated about tarot game playing instead of always thinking that tarot is always for divination.
Very interesting video and not far off from my own studies of the tarot. The important thing to remember about the Tarot – and ANY divination tool – is not necessarily their origins, but the outcome. Yes, they were originally created as a game. Tarot cards/clouds/runes/etc., in themselves, are not the fortune telling part. The human mind is. These tools are just the symbols the mind uses to tap into that universal consciousness. They’re just tools.

I’ve seen the Kabbalah FAQ where they flatly deny any connections between Kabbalah and tarot cards!
Ummmmmm! Great believer in all persons believing what they want to believe….I hasten to add that I am a student of the Traot and Esoteric teachings and have yet found anything that could possibly diminish the History of Tarot……..Have you ever looked at Kabbala , it has a lot in common with the Tarot and thats over 4000 years old.
Stupid exoteric sheeple video baaaaaaaaaaa
Stupid exoteric sheeple video baaaaaaaaaaa
Oudler and skeptigamer are exoteric sheeple who of course it is just a game to cause there dumb sheep and are trying to hide esoteric mystery of tarot. Oudler posts his bullshit on every tarot video. Weirdo. Of course I don’t do reading that is exoteric for sheeple. The real meaning is path of fool to sage esoteric truth egyptian initiate sage seer adept Led Zeppelin 4th album stairway to heaven. Hermit tarot card inside cover. Stay stupid and abusive we don’t allow u at top of real pyramid
the tarot is like a storage room of the mystical dregs of human history
pink floyd!
so the current cards are based on the set the duke had made by his “astrolger”? dont know if that means anything? it may be a stretch to assume those cards were somewhat designed with astrolgy in mind. seems odd to get your astrologer to help you with your playing card set?
The earliest recorded use for playing cards was for card games and the term cartomancy was not coined until the 19th century.
Very nice. The video leads in the right direction, the study of the human psyche and greater understanding of ourselves. Entertaining the mind is tantamount to health and progress in human affairs. I think Tarot reflects this age old search. C.G. Jung is also a good lead for study.
Can you say Godwin?
As a Jew, I think your comment is in bad taste.
Good research!
Bet you can proove concentration camps during WW2 are a myth as well!
Keep up the good work!
Carl Jung was a wack job! And tarot cards do not come from egypt.
tarot cards due come from Egypt
the Egyptian book of Thoth pages show the major and minor arcana
“arcana” is not English, Italian, it means universal law
arcana are the universal laws or experiences of life
arcana was a book that taught you how to acquire wisdom hence Thoth “living wisdom”
your research is based on superficial web surfing
you never mention Carl Jung’s groundbreaking discovers, or secret societies like the Illuminati, freemasonry that guard its true secrets
Actually regular playing cards were originally invented for divination purposes, it was called Cartomancy. Then they later became playing cards.
Thanks a lot for the explanation!
GreatGarloo876:(3) but later Tarot are claimed to come from “Devil”, in Spain they destroy the oldest deck (which BTW appeared in Europe before Italian “Tarocci”, i.e. in the XII-XIII centuries)
GreatGarloo876: not that simple as it seems to be,there are many things (objects)which appeared in the Mid. centuries, (e.g. the Shroud of Turin, Qabbalah, the “Book of “Abraham”, Tarot) Are they all have to be dated to the mid centuries? Well, I suppose you know the answer. Tarot does have its history, yes, the cards were used for the games, and at the beginning were ignored by Catholic church,
GreatGarloo876: Hi there, I am sorry for being rude, I was so stressed, have to deal with Tarot project for nat. TV and am completely at a loss, please forgive me for losing my temper. About the cards, it’s notthat simple as it seems.
