The Tarot cards have been in existence for thousands of years and were thought to have been used in Ancient Egypt. In more recent times they resurfaced during the Middle Ages.

It is believed they may have been used as a way of passing on ancient knowledge through the symbology of the cards in a time of religious intolerance and persecution. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards, as well as an additional 56 cards divided into 4 suits of the Minor Arcana. In our modern culture, Tarot is seen by some as just a light hearted tool for predicting the future, or on a more sinister note as a tool for connection with the occult.

However, the Tarot cards can serve us profoundly by bringing us messages of inspiration and guidance. If we allow their messages to us, they can guide us powerfully on our journey of self-discovery.
