Tarot gets its fair share of bad press. But Tarot is the life of Man in picture form from birth to death and all the bits in between. As I explain to people, it is not evil, but simply enlightening. Tarot has been around since about the 14 th Century, some believe invented by the Romanies, others the Knights Templars, but it certainly travelled around the East and Europe courtesy of the Romanies, being in then out of favour by the Kings and Queens of Europe. Each suit is attached to a particular area of your life.
Cups are emotions, wands work, coins money and swords trouble and strife.
Simple really isn't it. The fate cards won't go by you, which means, good or bad, you will have to deal with the resulting actions, problems etc. Follow what's on the cards, or not. Your life, your choice. Well, at least that is my view on the matter.
