Product Description :
Tarot cards likely originated in northern Italy during the late 14th or early 15th century.
The oldest surviving set, known as the Visconti-Sforza deck, was created for the Duke of Milan’s family around 1440.
The cards were used to play a bridge-like game known as tarocchi, popular at the time among nobles and other leisure lovers.
According to tarot historian Gertrude Moakley, the cards’ fanciful images—from the Fool to Death—were inspired by the costumed figures who participated in carnival parades.
The game of tarocchi eventually spread to other European countries, including southern France, where it was renamed tarot.
The cards were not regarded as mystical until the late 18th century, when the occult came into vogue.
A man named Antoine Court de Gébelin wrote a popular book linking the cards to ancient Egyptian lore, arguing that tarot symbols contained the secret wisdom of a god called Thoth.
Around the same time, Jean-Baptiste Alliette, writing under the pseudonym Etteilla, published a treatise on using tarot cards as divination tools.
