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

People from time immemorial sought to penetrate the secretown 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 mostexciting and oldest fortune-telling systems, which is the Tarot deck. When interpreting the meaning of maps in divination, people who turn to this ancient source of knowledge receive answers to various life questions. The accuracy of the prediction depends on the art of the interpreter.

The history of the origin of the Tarot Deckis 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 classical Tarot deck contains in the commonthe complexity of 78 cards. It is divided into Junior and Senior Arcane. In this case, 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 Junior Arkans, in turn,subdivided into four "suits" - Swords, Rods (they are Staves), Denarii (otherwise - Pentacles) and, finally, Cups - each of which contains 14 cards. In addition, digital and figured, i.e. personalized maps. 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 stay on the maps ininverted position. Very often such a map has exactly the opposite meaning, than that which corresponds to it in direct. Usually, the direct and inverted position is determined from the figure on the map. It is very important that the Tarot rolls randomly. To do this, before each fortunetelling session, it is necessary to bring each card to its normal position, and then arbitrarily turn over about a third of all 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,because 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 fail to meet expectations, but also harm the fortuneteller. When you begin to predict with the help of the Tarot, you need 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 - do not lend them to anyone, but store them better in a specially designed bag for this. 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 value of maps when guessing and knows how to collect the whole picture of the prediction from all the symbols.
