Tarot cards have been used for over five hundred years, for gameplay, divination, creative inspiration and spiritual practice. The practice of reading Tarot comes with a rich, complex history, full of mystical, philosophical, and religious mystery. As old as the art form may be, its popularity in modern culture is growing rapidly- Tarot decks and cartomancy play a significant role in many present-day metaphysical healing practices, spiritual training, as well as artistic and creative circles...


With detailed illustrations and cryptic symbolism, Tarot can easily pique your interest--but where should you begin? There is an overwhelming amount of information out there, and since Tarot is an esoteric practice, it's difficult to know which sources have enough authority to provide accurate and reliable instruction...

The only way to know how useful and impactful Tarot could be in your life is to try it. Roll up your sleeves and dive in, whether you already have a deck or are simply considering how and where to acquire one. The best time to get started is right now...
