What is tarot?

The word "Tarot" is taken from Egyptian characters tar (Tao) and ro (King), meaning "King". So "Tarot" itself refers to his correct determination as a king, which is the origin of this divination method.

Tarot card is an ancient divination tool, and its origin is a mysterious legend. Many experts who study mysticism try to find some clues, and various viewpoints abound. ...

Some people say that it comes from Egypt, which means "sacred journey" and "god of wisdom and magic" in Egyptian.

Some people say it comes from ancient Rome, which means "wheel of life" in Latin.

Some people say it comes from Hebrew, which means "law" in Jewish.

It is said that it comes from Persia, which means "playing cards" in gypsy language. It is the gypsies who introduced the word "tarot" to Europe.

It is said that since ancient India, Indian gods have held some symbols of tarot cards, such as cups, power, swords and rings.

It is said that from China, card games were printed on paper money in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that cards were used to entertain court wives.

Either way, one thing is certain: Tarot is a wise man, who painted and handed down ancient wisdom as patterns.

According to legend, the original tarot cards were not used for divination in the form of cards. It's just a "fantastic book", a mysterious book dedicated to conveying the will of the gods. Whenever the ancient Pharaoh had any problems to solve, he would open this book of ignorance, and all the problems would be solved. (Note: the moon is the god of culture and education) Later, when the Egyptian dynasty perished, in order to prevent this mysterious book from falling into the hands of different nationalities, it was painted on a card in the form of a picture and handed over to the official. Later, it was introduced to Europe by Alexander. Around the middle ages, the tarot cards we are playing now were formed.

Tarot cards were very popular in the Middle Ages, and they could be found in many pictures and books at that time. Tarot cards are everywhere, whether in the palace or in the common people. It was not until the rise of the church that Tarot cards were regarded as the mysterious magic of paganism and were suppressed from then on. Under the protection of a willing heart, the tarot card survived and showed its mysterious atmosphere in front of the world.

Tarot cards consist of 22 picture cards (alker) and 56 digital cards (alker). There are 78 cards, each of which has its own unique pattern and meaning. The method of divination is to arrange the cards in a certain form (we call it "unfolding" here), and then judge by the position of the cards. We can carry out divination according to different needs such as love, health, wealth and marriage. Whatever it is, we can know it through tarot cards, especially when we don't know what to do. This is a very good indicator. In addition, only you can find the information conveyed by the card face and uncover the mystery of the ancient tarot card.

Introduction of tarot cards

Tarot cards consist of 22 main cards (Grand Akana) and 56 secondary cards (Little Akana), with a total of 78 cards. The divination method of tarot cards is to arrange the cards in a certain form (that is, unfold them), and then judge them by looking at their positions and symbolic contents. Divination can be carried out for different needs such as love, health, wealth, career and marriage. This is a very good signpost, especially when you don't know what to do next. The information conveyed by the card face will have a high accuracy as long as we carefully ponder it.

The origin of tarot cards

▼ Ancient Italian Theory-According to historians' research, as early as14th century, some aristocrats in European countries had already played tarot cards, during which the Vatican banned tarot cards and characterized them as the devil's Atlas and pagan articles. In addition, the earliest known tarot cards appeared in Italy at the end of14th century15th century. The Italian poker game "tarocco" sounds similar to Tarot, with only 22 cards, which is similar to the 22 main cards of Grand Akana. At the same time, the meanings of love, victory, love, death, reputation, fate and future praised in Italian poetry are similar to those of tarot cards. Therefore, many people agree that Tarot originated in Italy. However, many scholars who study tarot cards believe that these evidences can only show that tarot cards once appeared in Europe, and they do not believe that tarot cards originated in Europe.

▼ Gypsy theory-scholars who study tarot cards believe that tarot cards are most likely brought to Europe by gypsies in Asia or Africa. They make a living by divination, and tarot cards are one of their divination methods. However, Gypsies are nomadic people who wander around. Is it possible to develop a very systematic philosophy of tarot cards? Tarot cards may not be the product of gypsies, they just learned from other civilizations.

▼ Ancient Egyptian Theory-Some people think that Tarot cards are products of ancient Egypt. Many people believe that after the destruction of Alexandria, Egypt, the Moroccan city of Fez has become a new world-class academic center, where scholars from all over the world are concentrated. Unfortunately, they didn't have a common language and characters, so they prepared an album full of mysterious symbols, and replaced the language and characters with pictures. Later, these pictures evolved into playing cards. This statement is unbelievable and has no factual basis, but there is another statement that is willing to go from ancient Egypt and is worth listening to.

Thoth (someone translated him as [Egyptian Moon God]) was one of the many gods in ancient Egypt, in charge of wisdom and magic, and also the inventor of numbers. Some people think that he invented two ambassadors and two big akanas in tarot cards as one of the rituals of Egyptian wizards' sacrifice.

There is not much truth in this statement. Tarot experts who believe in this theory all believe that Egypt must have relevant literature records. 1799, Napoleon's army found a piece of writing engraved with ancient Egyptians. Not only this clay tablet, but also other Egyptian documents have not found any records about tarot cards, which is a frustrating thing for believers of Egyptian theory. Whether this statement is right or wrong, it is undeniable that many tarot symbols originated in ancient Egypt.

▼ Judaism-After a series of studies, experts found that Tarot cards are closely related to Kabbalah of ancient Hebrews, which can be said to be more reliable. Kabbalah is the philosophy of ancient Jews. According to legend, it was taught by God to Moses (or Moses), which is a kind of knowledge that people cooperate with each other and enhance their spiritual strength. Twenty-two Akana cards of tarot cards are deeply related to the twenty-two letters of Hebrew and Kabala. Someone has compiled a comparison table of tarot cards and ancient Hebrew letters. The research on tarot cards in recent decades shows that the statement that tarot cards originated from ancient Jews is highly credible.

To sum up, the origin of tarot cards should be roughly as follows: First, the big Akana of tarot cards originated from Kabaka, an ancient Jew. Because of the frequent contact between ancient Jews and ancient Egyptians, they also absorbed many Egyptian religious symbols. With the frequent wars in the Middle East, the predecessor of Tarot almost disappeared. Later, gypsies didn't know how to use tarot cards, but I believe they probably didn't know much about the philosophical level of tarot cards. They used it as a divination tool. It spread to Europe between12nd century and14th century, and was soon banned by the Holy See. After the church's power weakened, tarot cards developed again, and new tarot cards were introduced one after another. Especially at the end of19th century, the research on tarot cards became more systematic after the researchers linked tarot cards with the scroll cultural relics of ancient Jewish esoteric religion, and Ryder Tarot cards were one of the representatives.

Preparation before divination

Matters needing attention

First, tarot card speculation is a kind of "touching the machine: sincerity is the spirit." It is usually effective to speculate on literary events with tarot cards, which provide an omen or warning.

Second, it is speculated that the cards displayed are symbolic, and each tarot card hides both positive and negative meanings. When cards are proved to be positive, they represent positive meanings; When the card is upside down, it represents the opposite meaning.

3. Like the Book of Changes, any tarot card has two sides, that is, two sides. Therefore, don't be too proud to get good cards, but seize the opportunity and take action so as not to lose the opportunity; Don't be discouraged when you get bad cards. As long as you are alert, you can save the day.

Fourth, Tarot cards have rich meanings. When the card is turned out, you can "feel" the impression of the pattern first, which will mobilize your heart and give you a lot of inspiration.

5. Tarot card speculation questions must be clear, direct and not general. Ask only one question at a time.

6. You don't have to ask the same question twice. If you want to know more about the doubts in your heart, you can change the way of asking questions and speculate again to prove it.

Cherish and cherish your tarot cards. The more you cherish it, the more emotional you are with it, and the more you can understand the meaning of the card.

Eight, it is best to choose a quiet place to avoid interference; Especially if the questioner wants to be secret and pay attention to privacy, he should pay more attention to the location of speculation.

Nine, let the questioner shuffle the cards, so that he has enough time to conceive questions and relax.

Ten, tarot card is a medium, a kind of induction, through the card shows a sign, so you can use the sixth sense and intuition to interpret the meaning of the card.

11. No matter whether the signs displayed are fierce or auspicious, they are calm. "Man proposes, God disposes", and the harmony between man and nature is the most important rule of life.

The specific summary is as follows:

Time: Tarot cards speculate that the time is not limited, and it doesn't have to be at night. It should be in quiet time, but once a day is better.

Location: Choose a secret location, preferably not in public, to maintain a quiet atmosphere.

Three objects: speculators can be themselves or others.

Five-cut cards: fold the cards after washing, let the questioner cut the cards twice, and then put them on the table.

Six-card draw: according to the questions asked by the questioner, choose the assumed card type and let the questioner start drawing cards, only one at a time.

Seven rows of cards: arrange the cards drawn by the questioner in the order of card type, and cover them all at this time.

Eight cards: Open the arranged cards one by one, and then start to solve the cards after all the cards are opened.

Nine solutions: whether you are speculating for yourself or others, feel the feeling and significance of this card first, and then solve the card; Then make a comprehensive analysis from the explanation of each card and the context of the whole card type.

Divination steps

The first step: preparation in advance and taboo

First of all, the most important thing is to ensure that your body and mind are in a good state of peace before using tarot cards. Reading tarot cards is a hard job, and you must concentrate on it to understand the current significance of tarot cards.

When is the best time to speculate?

As long as your mental state is clear enough, you can do it at any time.

Where to speculate?

Find a place that won't disturb you. An ideal place: go to your quiet nest with friends, make a cup of black tea and read fate together!

Why should we speculate?

Of course, tarot cards! At this time, guess with 22 big tarot cards.

A piece of black cloth. Basically, tarot cards need a table with enough space for cards. Prepare a clean cloth to spread on the desktop to prevent the card from contacting the desktop directly and getting dirty easily. As for the suggestion that you use black, it is because black is the color that can gather light and energy most scientifically and speculatively.

What are the taboos?

You can't guess the same question twice in the same place. Sika is a tool for you to spy on the corner of your destiny, and it can be said that it is your partner on the journey of your destiny. Therefore, you must trust it absolutely. If the result it tells you is not satisfactory, you should still maintain a respectful attitude. Never have the mentality of "counting the good results"-fate is not a game of trial and error. If you go your own way, your tarot cards will not be willing to show you any correct answers in the future.

You must believe in your own tarot cards.

Don't lose any cards. A set of cards, like brothers and sisters, has its integrity. No matter which card is lost, it is a kind of harm to the card itself. So my advice to you is: please take care of it.

Avoid unexpected situations when shuffling cards. In the shuffling process explained in the third step, the following situations will occur: washing, after washing, a card suddenly turns red and faces up; Or wash some cards to the ground; Or put the cards in the wrong pile when cutting cards, etc. You should try to avoid these accidents, because all these phenomena show one thing: your spirit may not be focused enough, which will have the most serious impact on the outcome of speculation.

Step 2: Identify the problem and the way to speculate.

After everything is ready, the next step is to confirm the questions you want to ask. Remember: before the next step-"shuffling", you must confirm the problem. Once you start shuffling, you can't change the subject.

Step 3: Shuffle the cards

Shuffle * * * has two different actions. Repeat these two shuffles every time you guess.

Let's start with the first shuffle. Put twenty-two tarot cards face down in your own hands. Concentrate and don't think about anything. Then, begin to obey your will, take a drop from the middle of the pile and put it on the top of the pile. Repeat the same action several times, depending on your wishes.

Next, put the cards on the plane and prepare for the second shuffle (see the right). Similarly, your mind must focus on spreading the cards in a circle, and then start shuffling the cards in the direction of time sequence with both hands. While shuffling cards, meditate on the questions to be speculated and think about the cards to be used.

Listen to your inner voice and you will feel when to stop; At this time, slowly gather the cards (don't forget the clockwise direction), and finally restore them to a stack of cards and put them horizontally.

In addition, there are some conjectures that require the questioner to concentrate his will and meditate on his own problems. At this time, you just need to keep your thoughts free from distractions. When to stop shuffling depends on the questioner.

Step 4: Cut the card.

Card cutting is the time for questioners to show their talents. When you have washed the cards and folded them face down, you should let the questioner cut the cards. Of course, if the questioner is yourself, you have to cut the cards yourself.

First of all, ask your opponent to concentrate, pick up a card from the top of the stack according to his own will (never take it), put this card under the original stack (that is, in this direction near you) and turn it into two drops (see the right picture).

Again, take another card from the top of the second drop; This will be placed above the first drag and drop. Now, there are three cards in front of you.

Next, it's up to you to turn the cards back. First, pick up the first drop and put it on the second drop. Then pick up the combination of the first and second waterfalls and put them on top of the third waterfall. This will be reduced to a pile of cards.

We have one last card-cutting action. In the previous process, the cards are all horizontally facing down. Now we're going to turn the cards down directly (see the picture on the left). This action must not be mistaken: if you are guessing the other party, your rotation direction is counterclockwise; In other words, you have to turn the left end of the tarot card down 90 degrees and turn it straight. If you guess for yourself, turn the card 90 degrees clockwise. Once you make a mistake, the meaning of the whole card will be completely reversed. Be careful!

Step 5: Pat Type

Shuffling and cutting cards are the most important steps in the whole process. The next card arrangement is much simpler. You just need to arrange the cards in the arrangement you just decided to use. Remember one thing:

In the process of arranging cards, all tarot cards should be kept face down. Usually, only a part of the cards will be used in the card type, and the remaining cards will be kept straight down, folded and put aside.

Step 6: Open the card and interpret it.

After the cards are arranged, open each card in order. The way to open the card is to turn it from left to right. After all the cards are turned over, it's time for you to interpret them.

Simple digital deduction algorithm

According to the year, month and day of your birth, you can find out the tarot cards corresponding to your life. There are two kinds of rogue tarot cards in life: one is tarot cards representing personality, and the other is tarot cards representing soul.

Tarot cards, a symbol of personality, show your wisdom, talent, temperament, demeanor, temper and so on. That is, what others think of you.

Tarot cards, representing the symbol of the soul, show your heart, your inner desire, the source of energy, your spiritual feelings, your pursuit and your ideal life. It represents the unknown real you.

When you were born, your life touched the world, and your personality and soul followed.

Therefore, finding out the tarot cards that belong to your life (from the 22 or 25 main cards of Grand Acana) can help you to know more about who you are and what others think of you.

Discovering the hidden personality and strength in life can help you know yourself, give full play to your potential and expertise, see the future clearly and open up a bright future.

The calculation method is as follows:

1. Add the calendar year, month and day of your birth to get a total; Add up the figures in the total and you will get a two-digit number: then add up the two digits of the two-digit number to get a one-digit number. Two digits represent tarot cards symbolized by personality, and single digits represent tarot cards symbolized by soul.

2. If all the numbers in the total add up to a number, then this number represents people whose personality and soul belong to the same symbol at the same time, usually professionals.

3. If all the figures in the total are added up, the total is19; 1 and 9 add up to10; 1 and 0 add up to 1, which is the only combination of three numbers.

These three numbers, the first one represents individuality, the first three theories represent soul, and the second one represents creativity. People with creative symbols are excellent creative talents.

If all the figures in the total add up to 22 (or 25), 22 minus 22 equals 0. Because there are 22 traditional tarot cards (25 variant tarot cards), the number ranges from 0 to 2 1, so the number 22 is equal to the number 0, representing personality; Two plus two of 22 equals four, representing the soul.

5. If the sum of all the numbers in the total number is greater than 22 (25 in deformed tarot cards), subtract 22 (or 25) from the total number, and the remainder represents personality; The sum of two numbers represents the soul.

Lifestyle corresponding to traditional tarot card numbers

First, if the symbol of human nature is the same as the number of souls you calculate, it means that your life development is single; If the figures of personality symbol and soul symbol are different, it means that your life development is heavy.

2. If your number is 0, it means that you are pursuing a colorful and varied life.

If your number is 1 ~ 6, you are pursuing a harmonious life.

If your number is 7 ~ 12, it means that you are pursuing a life full of adventures and challenges.

If your number is 13 ~ 18, it means that you are pursuing a life of constant creation and change.

If your number is 19 ~ 2 1, it means that you are pursuing a self-fulfilling and successful life.

According to the year, month and year of your birth, you can calculate every tarot card that represents your support for camels.

Since the calculation of fortune is based on birthday, the beginning of fortune every year is also based on that day.

For example, if you were born on 1 June, 976 1 day, then the fortune of 1997 starts from 1 June, 9971day, and the fortune of 1996 starts from June1day.

Using this calculation method, we can find out the tarot cards that represent the fortune of the current year or the coming year. If you calculate from the year of birth, you can also calculate a person's time.

From the calculation of time, you will find that your numbers are arranged in order, but every once in a while, the numbers will be interrupted and jump to another order. This phenomenon, which represents the change of your life fortune, is a turning point in your life and the beginning of a new fortune.

At the same time, you will also find that there are no 0 (fool) and 1 (magician) cards in the tarot cards, because every year's fortune is full of unknown (fool) and (magician) changes.

1. Add the date of your birth in the solar calendar and the year of that year to get the total; Then add up all the numbers in the total. If the sum is equal to or less than 2 1, find out the relevant tarot cards representing fortune according to this number.

2. If the sum of the total number and each number is equal to or greater than 22 (the deformed tarot card is 25), then the sum of the two numbers forms a number, which is the number representing fortune.

3. If the sum of all the numbers in the total is equal to 28, then 2 plus 8 is equal to 10, and 10 is the number representing fortune, and the sum of 10 is no longer added.
