The origin of the tarot vanalles are claimed concerning the origin of the tarot. The tarot would arise in India and by gypsies have been taken along its to west-Europa. No, others say. Them the tempeliers in the middle ages from saint country has taken along. Or no: secret a brotherhood from North Africa has considered the tarot. In short: the origin of the tarot has surrounded with mysterie. What in any case certain is, is that the tarot (or tarock) card game in the thirteenth century emerges for the first time in European documents. The oldest well-known Tarotkaarten tribes from the fifteenth century. The tarot was in the late middle ages popular at the people. Moreover not only to predict the future, but especially as ordinary card game. This game is played in some parts of France and Italie still. The pope found that but future predicts nothing. He prohibited the ' prentenboek of the devil ', which the popularity of the tarot helped only. Just after in 1781 Antoine, Court the Gebelin in its book Le Monde Primitif claimed that tarotkaarten would contain "mysteries of the Egyptenaren", started use with Tarotkaarten for predicting the future. All kinds of alternative theories concerning the origin of the tarot have arisen since then, of which the most have been however formulated the historical observing facts. Even if is certain it virtually that the tarot is not intended initially for waarzeggerij: tarotkaarten, with their strong symboliek, are very suitable as waarzegkaarten use.

I read the Tarot and the Runes both. I don't believe that in most cases the reader is telling the future. I always tell my clients that I'm only sharing the most likely course of events if nothing were to change, but that they always have the power to make changes if they don't like what the cards or runes are telling them about their lives. Actually the cards and runes are much better for giving insights into why things are happening the way they are than for predicting the way they will happen.
And it's absolutely amazing how accurate a reading is whether the person draws out the cards themselves or whether I randomly lay out a reading. They really work more like Rosarch ink blots and sort of spark images and ideas in our subconscious - or help us connect with our higher selves or with the divine.

I think it's slightly possible that it may be done, but I'd rather get my information from God, if He wants me to know something, I believe He'll find a way to let me know. I hope your not offended but it's just my opinion. I believe everyone has a right to believe whatever they want.
