I love tarot cards and their art construct. I taught myself how to read them when I was about ten and have been collecting them ever since. I don’t do personal readings anymore as I’ve done a few where the results weren’t exactly positive.
Etteilla was the first to issue a tarot deck specifically designed for occult purposes around 1789. In keeping with the unsubstantiated belief that such cards were derived from the Book of Thoth, Etteilla’s tarot contained themes related to ancient Egypt. The 78-card tarot deck used by esotericists has two distinct parts. The Major Arcana (greater secrets), or trump cards, consists of 22 cards without suits. The Minor Arcana (lesser secrets) consists of 56 cards, divided into four suits of 14 cards each
Here are two of my favorite sets from my collection.
