Tarot is one of the most used tools for divination to date. The first recorded Tarot deck was in Italy in the 1430's, only having 64 cards. By 1909 Edward Waite and illistrater Pamala Colman Smith published the famous Rider-Waite Tarot deck we all know today.
While many people expect that tarot will tell you the future, predictions are not what tarot cards are all about. According to the harmitic order of the golden dawn "the power sources of information come from within; the tarot aids in coming in contact with one's higher self".
A standard Tarot deck holds 78 cards divided into Major and Minor Arcana. These cards reveal hidden truths and knowledge.
