Tarot Card Reading Lessons
A tarot deck consists of 78 cards used by individuals to predict future events. The practice was first introduced in Italy during the 15th century and has been used by believers for meditation, visualization and problem-solving. Expert tarot readers caution against using tarot books to learn interpretations and state that the best readings require client and reader concentration.
