Brief History Of The TarotbyAutumn Mist


The Tarot was created in Northern Italy around theyear 1430. The Cards were based on positions andways of Roman Catholic Church. They were namedafter the Tarocchi River which runs in Northern Italy.Tarocchi is also the name of a Game in which theCards were used in medieval days. This Game waswide-spread in Northern Italy, German and Austriain which it was referred to as Tarock. Soon, it spreadthroughout Europe.In the 18th and 19th Centuries, the Tarot hadbecome popular in the occult community and slightlychanged to meet the world of divination. There are 78 cards in each deck. The first 21 arecalled the Major Arcana. The remaining 56 cards aredivided into 4 suits of 14 cards each. The traditionalItalian Suits are the Swords, Batons, Coins andCups. In modern decks, Batons are commonly calledWands and Coins are called Pentacles (hence, theoccult influence).The most beautifully designed decks in the world arethe still the Italian Decks.




The Lovers Tarot
By
Fred G.

Most versions of The Lovers card depict a man between two females. One woman is blonde and the other woman is a brunette. Traditionally people have recognized this card as showing two different paths that can be taken in life. At other times the card is thought to be simply showing two different decisions or choices that can be made about various facets of life. Sometimes the card can be interpreted as illustrating a choice between potential suitors.

A lesson learned from this card can be a realization that some decisions people make are deep, requiring long, and careful assessment. This would be a level of thought far surpassing abrupt choices which may seem rational at the moment.

In most of the cards, the brunette seems older than the blonde. She has been commonly referred to as the man's mother in the card because of her mature, aged appearance. People can see from this how they are able to break away from the holds of their parents through their newly formed sexual urges and desires. Newly formed sexual energies trigger the beginning of adolescence. These energies are not only attributed to early sexual experiences, but also to identity formation. These desires, urges, and feelings fuel the fire for the growth of future value and belief systems.
One version of the card called the Waite image illustrates the strength and beauty of mature and loving bonds between people in relationships. On most cards, an angel at the top is considered to be anointing the man and woman underneath it.

This image can also exemplify the way feelings of love and adoration can grow between people. The intensity from the feelings derived from this card represent how the whole relationship is far greater than the entirety of it's parts.

The figures of the man and two women can also be considered examples of individuality. The card can highlight the importance of personal identity and awareness versus relationships between people. The male on the card expresses responsiveness and alertness while the women emote an inanimate energy. The angel can represent how people are constantly pursuing a heightened spiritual awakening.

People seem to always be searching for a meaning in life, to experience a type of rebirth, or achieve some sort of spiritual enlightenment. People need to be educated, to acquire knowledge, and a certain level of rationality to function in life. The path to awareness and enlightenment stems from the subconscious.

When people first observe the Lovers, they imagine an meaning to be associated with a relationship. It may be a past relationship, or a future relationship. It may even be a current relationship or the desire of a person to obtain a relationship. Usually the exact meaning is determined upon revelations in future cards.

In some Tarot card decks, usually older ones, the Lovers card conveys some sort of decision that is to be made. Usually this decision is between partners in relationship, but sometimes the decision may be about something different. Examples could be money matters, business matters, or other social and economic concerns. In more modern decks of cards, the Lovers card can represent accomplishment.

If the card is reversed, it can show what maladies can plague even the most perfect of relationships. Other times a reversed card can illustrate what difficulties may befall a person searching for a partner. The search can seem difficult and laborious with no end in sight. At times a reversed card can simply mean a person will exhibit poor decision making skills.

People can now see that the Lovers card depicts a man between two females. We know that usually one woman is blonde and the other woman is a brunette. Since the Lovers card traditionally shows two different paths that can be taken in life, a lesson learned from this card can be a realization that some decisions people make are deep, requiring long, and careful assessment.

This card definitely illustrates choices requiring a deep level of thought far surpassing abrupt choices which may seem rational at the moment.





Women of the Major Arcana
by
Fred G.

The High Priestess of the Tarot Women represents a virgin of sorts. She can be seen as being similar to the Greeks goddesses Athena, and Artemis. Many lunar images can be seen on various High Priestess cards because this image is that of a maiden moon or new moon.

This image is usually shown at the feet of the Waite version of cards, as the crescent. The moon, in all three phases is seen in the Isis crown on the card. Two horns depict the waxing and waning phases of the moon. A circle in the middle symbolizes the full moon. Many believe that the High Priestess is a guard of secrets and the mysteries of life. This is because she is usually shown holding a book or some type of scroll. It is because of this that people believe she is telling us that many mysteries exist and at sometime we might be privy to these mysteries. Unfortunately right now these mysteries are guarded and protected only to be unraveled at another time. Why? In the unconscious, our ego will only allow us to see truths if we pretend we exist isolated from the rest of the world. To enlighten us, the High Priestess usually tries to engulf us by making us question our very being. This would be our existence. This is hard for people to accept as they are usually given very little information about their existence. That is all the High Priestess will allow. When a reading is performed, the High Priestess suggests people need to delve inside themselves to find peace. Is it hard for people? It has been suggested that it can be hard for people to find a truth they cannot explain. When this happens people must accept that if they cannot find their truth or peace, then they need to be tranquil as to not totally lose this inner peace. The Empress is a feminist of sorts. She embodies amiability, passion, and a desire for opulence. The Empress can be seen as being similar to Demeter, and Aphrodite. Aphrodite is known as the Goddess of love. Another name for Aphrodite is Venus. Also symbolized by the Empress is a correlation between motherhood and a woman's sexual appetite. Great passion and a yearning for motherhood can be illustrated by the Empress. A female's sexual prowess can be associated with development and abundance of ferocity for life as depicted by the Empress. Early drawings of the vulva symbolize the relationship between fertility and emergence of human life. Pleasures of life are associated with the Empress because of her direct relationship with fertility. In a reading the Empress is associated with life and emotions. She is also affiliated with the giving of herself like mother gives of herself to her children. Fertility of the body as well as the spirit is stressed by the Empress. Often in Tarot Readings, the Empress blinds us with passion, causing people to be blinded by their personal strife in life. Often the Empress is viewed as a mother in a reading. The Empress may indicate infertility or rejection when reversed in a reading. Other times the Empress provides enlightenment in order to sway people to more insightful aspects of life, rather than just succumbing to their deepest yearning.




Celtic Cross Spread
by
CM

Most people are aware that reading someone's future with tarot cards is a complicated process. The cards each hold significance and can mean many things to many different people. Did you know however, that the meaning of tarot cards also depends on the way they are laid out on the table, otherwise known as tarot spreads?
The cards can be spread out on the table many different ways. Among these, the spread known as the Celtic cross is by far the most popular. When a person is learning tarot spreads, they often learn this one first. Just as with the meanings, there are different ways to lay out the Celtic cross. This article is going to describe this tarot spread so that you may better understand how to put it together.
Typically, the Celtic cross will consist of ten cards, and it is split into two sections. Some descriptions will call these sections the cross and the staff. Six of the cards will make up the cross with two in the center and one to each side, and then the remaining four to the right of the cross, making up the staff. The Celtic cross is one of the best tarot spreads to use when asking a personal inquiry that is close to the person's spirit.

When laid out in this way each card holds extra meaning and has a special position in the question being asked. It has been said over the course of history that this tarot spread has a lot of strength because it has been used a great deal. By learning tarot spreads like it, it naturally became stronger. By far the first two cards, which are the cards in the center of the cross, are the most important. They deal with the largest issue. They will sometimes provide a situation and an answer but that is always changing.

The next cards you will examine in the cross are cards three and five, which will be across from each other in the cross shape. With these cards, you will surely learn more about the person, where card three holds the truth, such as who the person really is and how they really feel, card five will show the shallower version of those. Much like three and five, cards four and six are across from each other and hold a lot of meaning.

Learning tarot spreads in this way by becoming familiar with each card, such as four being long-ago and six being the future, is a great way to study and sharpen your talents. These are easily explained with card four being the one the person needs to get farther from and card six is the experiences in life towards which they should move. The last four cards such as seven and eight are up for a lot of interpretation when laid out in tarot spreads like the cross. In this case one card stands for the person and the other can stand for anything such as another person or a deep connection to nature.
Card ten when placed in the staff of the Celtic cross refers to the future. This is what most people are interested in when having their fortune told so be sure to know the difference between card six and ten. Six is typically, what could happen and ten is the more likely of the two. This is always up for argument, but the reader is ultimately the one who places and reads the cards. Although out of order, card nine is the last card you will read within the staff. This card can be read literally in any way that you wish, although historically it is used to explain the meanings of the other cards.

Learning tarot spreads like the Celtic cross is not only an entertaining past time it is also a way to connect with people on a deeper level. People are more likely to connect with you as well if you understand your cards and their placement. Remember that with each turn of the card you are giving the person you are reading for a small gift, an insight to their future, so do your best and enjoy every moment.
