PentaclesWhat tarot is, and is not
Tarot is a deck of 78 illustrated cards, used since the eighteenth century for divination and reflection and, before that, since the fifteenth century, for a card game. Readers turn cards, look at the pictures and talk about what they see. It is a tool for thinking a question through, not a way to see the future, and nothing on this site claims otherwise. The history of tarot tells how the cards got here.
