Tarot (pronounced Ta-row), a divination system based on playing cards, has assisted man in his search for meaning by opening him up to information that cannot be directly seen. Essentially, everything is a search for something beyond our current understanding. Man’s boundless curiosity and his powers of reasoning and speculation have never been put to better use than in his pursuit of knowledge of the supernatural.
A Brief History
The origin, locale, and function of tarot cards are mysterious. Some think the Tarot came from the Book of Thoth, others from the Chinese I-Ching. Since the first full deck comes from 14th or 15th century Europe, some trace its genesis there. The most prominent and deep astrologer, such as Court de Gebelin, Papus, and Charles Barlet, openly claim that tarot cards represent the pages of the great Book of Thoth, which summarized ancient about Egyptian learning. These astrologers also claim that Tarot enfolds the secrets of the Egyptian-based Jew’s Cabbala. Tarot’s name suggests Egyptian origin. Etteilla, a Tarot expert, says the term comes from the Egyptian words “Tar” and “ro or ros,” meaning “the royal road of life.”
“The great god Ashtaroth, As-Taroth, is no other than the Indo-Tarter Tan-Tara, the tarot, the zodiac,” says J. F. Vaillant (les romes, histoire vraie des vraise bohemiens, 1857). Other sources say the Tarot and Book of Thoth’s titles come from the Egyptian word “taru,” meaning “to request response” or “to consult.”
The Tarot Deck
78 Tarot cards are classified into:
1.The Major Arcana– 22 graphic and metaphorical cards.
2.The Minor Arcana– 56 court and numerical cards in 4 suits.
“Arcana” originates from the Latin “arcanus,” meaning closed or secret.
The major arcana, or trump suit, includes 22 cards with illustrations depicting actions, behaviour, and events. In addition, each card contains a label with a name, title, or visual description. All major arcana cards save one are numbered 1–21. The Fool is usually numbered 0. The minor arcana—Swords, Cups, Coins, and Wands—have 56 cards. Each suit has 14 cards: 10 numbered (pip) cards from Ace to Ten and four faces (court) cards: Page, Knight, Queen, King.
The major arcana depicts one’s current mental, emotional, and spiritual state in tarot card readings. However, the minor arcana shows occurrences or situations, and each suit covers a distinct life sector. For example, cups represent the questioner’s emotions and Swords his mind. Coins signify wealth and Ward his job, skills, or potential. Finally, court cards represent real persons or have the same meaning as pip cards.

About Tarot Spreads
Tarot spreads abound. Some spreads are ideal for replying “yes or no,” while others are difficult and take a lot of talent from the reader and patience from the questioner, but they give an in-depth examination.
The spreads below were selected for their simplicity and depth of response.
- The Four-Card Spread: Answers a simple question in depth. Tarot novices may utilize it. It may be used in a lengthier reading with another spread to answer supplemental questions about the questioner’s life.
- Celtic Cross Spread: The most common Tarot spread. The Four Card Spread is less detailed than it. The reader should read the cards collectively since they have more significance than individually.
- Astrological Spread: This spread is based on astrology. Twelve cards symbolize the 12 astrological houses. Each house interprets each card. Astrologers will understand this, while beginners may take longer.
The Celtic Cross Spread and Astrological Spread are combined to provide a deep insight into the questioner’s circumstances and aid decision-making.
Etteilla’s Great Figure of Destiny and Papus’s Rapid divination are other famous spreads. However, this dissertation can only analyse some Spreads and Tarot card divination methods.

Fortune telling cards
Predicting future events or characterising a person using techniques not generally accepted as having a logical foundation; in other words, fortune-telling. There is evidence that various types of fortune-telling were performed in ancient China, Egypt, Chaldea, and Babylonia as early as 4000 BCE. In addition, ancient religion and medicine relied heavily on prophetic dreams and oracular pronouncements.
Numerology, playing cards, tea leaves, crystal balls, dice, fire, water, and dispersed salt are just some of the things that may be used in fortune-telling. Astrology (the interpretation of the motions of the celestial bodies as impacts on terrestrial events) is another type of divination. Finally, graphology (the study of handwriting), physiognomy (the study of facial traits), phrenology (the study of skull contours), and palmistry are all kinds of fortune-telling that rely on character analysis (the study of lines on the palm).
