Tarot

Tarot is a fortune telling method.

For some, the tarot opens a view into a possible future.

The fortune telling tool is a deck of 78 cards. Different decks have different images. They're pretty (mostly).

The image on individual cards contain clues to the card's meaning. See the tarot cards tag page for related blogs.

Tarot is an old practice, long cherished for its supposed accuracy and relevant guidance, which may be one reason for its popularity among fortune telling and new age bloggers. Tarot Reading 101 is one such blog.

A question is asked. The deck of cards is shuffled, with or without ritual. Cards are then laid out in one of several spreads.

When the cards are interpreted, their positions in the spread are taken into account. Here is an example reading with choice of decks.
