Tarot Card Reading Joliet

The origins of the tarot are lost in the mist of time. We do know they existed hundreds of years ago and originally slate or stone was used to depict the seventy eight cards. Some felt the tarot originated in China and others felt it was Egypt.

When cardboard was invented, the Tarot was soon depicted using that media, similar to modern day tarot cards. Only the Courtiers were allowed to use them at first and they often depicted their own family as the characters of the tarot.
