The Tarot has been used as a method of forecasting events to come or to reveal
secrets that have not been revealed for centuries. The deck of cards we know as the
Tarot have been associated with a nation of people loosely called "Gypsies"; people
who came from Egypt and Chaldea into Israel and Greece. The people known as
Gypsies traveled throughout the continents of Europe and Asia, settling in the area
we now know as Romania/Austria/Hungary. Interestingly enough, the Hungarian
Gypsy word for a deck of cards is "tar".
Legends tell that as religious persecution fell on pagan cults, the Hierophants or
the Priests of the Mysteries, handed down their knowledge to the humble Gypsies.
These travelers in turn taught those they deemed worthy of such treasure.
Many other fascinating lore surround the Tarot but the first real evidence that we
have of the Tarot are decks of cards located in European museums that date to
about 1390. In the Museo Correr in Italy, there are some cards dating around 1445
but the main surge of information about the Tarot shows up during the reign of
Charles VI of France during the fourteenth century. In England, the Tarot was
popular during the fifteenth century reign of Edward IV. It was in the eighteenth
century that French scholar Court de Gebelin suggested that the Tarot may be of
Egyptian origin and his discovery came at a time when the study of Rosicrucianism
was popular pastime.
The Tarot took many side trips and acquired much more history and took on many
changes and many different looks to the decks. As the Tarot has gone through
many transformations over the centuries, it endured and serves as a reminder that
Truth and the pursuit of it endures time.
