Tarot history.
I have a feeling that the Tarot is incredibly ancient. According to conventional history the Tarot cards have only been around for about 600 years. But I feel that tarot is much older than this, maybe 30,000 years old or more.
Some people say that tarot originated in Egypt or India and came to Europe with the gypsies. This resonates with me but I feel that it is even older than this, going back prehaps to the time of Atlantis.
My feeling is that the Tarot is a form of pictorial language that predates writing.
The Tarot for me was invented by God to help us tune into the Holy spirit. It was originally designed to facilitate meditation, not as a system of divination or as a game. When I reflect upon the Tarot I feel that I am in touch with something that is eternaly ancient. I know this goes against the conventional history but I value my feelings and I intuition more than the official accounts.
