Mystery of the Tarot: the meaning of cards in fortune-telling

People from time immemorial sought to penetrate into the mystery of their own future, using for this every possible mantic practices. Fate was predicted by the insides of sacrificial animals, by the flight of birds, by the arrangement of stars, etc. Realization of this natural human desire to look into the future also caused the special significance of maps in divination.

In this regard, one should mention one of the most exciting and oldest fortune telling systems, which is the Tarot deck. Interpreting the significance of maps in divination, people who turn to this ancient source of knowledge, receive answers to various life issues. The accuracy of the prediction depends on the art of the interpreter.

The history of the origin of the Tarot deck is unknown. Some researchers believe that their analogue existed even in Ancient Egypt, India or China. According to another version, Tarot originated in Italy in the 14th century.

The classic Tarot deck contains a total of 78 cards. It is divided into Junior and Senior Arcane. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly delineate the value of maps when guessing. Thus, the group of Senior Arcana includes 22 cards, also called trump cards. They are identified with the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and are associated with global changes and key events in the life of man and the world as a whole. Accordingly, the Senior Arcane is given increased attention in the course of the prediction.

56 cards of Junior Arcana, in turn, are divided into four "suits" - Swords, Wands (the same Staffs), Denarii (otherwise - Pentacles) and, finally, Cups - each containing 14 cards. In addition, digital and figured, i.e. Personalized cards. The first kind symbolizes everyday feelings and situations, as well as standard human qualities. Figure cards, as a rule, denote certain specific objects and phenomena, including a certain person and various characteristics of his personality.

Also, you should stop on the cards in an inverted position. Very often such a map has exactly the opposite meaning, than that which corresponds to it in direct. Usually, a straight and inverted position is determined by the pattern on the map. It is very important that the Tarot rolls randomly. To do this, before the next fortune-telling session, it is necessary to bring each map to its normal position, and then arbitrarily turn around one-third of all the cards in the deck. In addition, the deck must be carefully shuffled before guessing.

Previously, the interpretation of the Tarot was the lot of the elect, as this is a rather contradictory, one might say, philosophical system. Divination by fortune-telling cards is very popular. However, ignorance of some laws can not only not justify expectations, but also harm the fortuneteller. Starting to predict with the help of Tarot, it is necessary to remember that there are certain rules for guessing on cards. First of all, you should only guess on your own maps. Before the session, it is necessary to establish contact with the deck: hold it in your hands, look at the cards. If they are just bought, then you will need a couple of days to get used to each other a little - keep the deck often with you and sort out periodically. You should treat the cards carefully and respectfully - you should not lend them to anyone, but store them better in a specially designed bag for the cloth. Next, you do not need to access the cards too often. Do this when you really need help. When guessing, it is better to formulate the question as precisely as possible and, most importantly, to believe in maps.

Interpretation of fortune telling is a creative process. It helps a lot if the questioner knows the meaning of the maps when guessing and is able to collect from all the symbols a general picture of the prediction.
