Online Tarot Readings
Future prediction and telling the future has always been considered
something mystical and probably not possible. Tarot magic and tarot
cards have suffered this same skepticism. This public opinion, however,
has been based on card readings made by part-time tarot girls at the
county fair. The actual Tarot is part of the school of metaphysics.
Like future astrology and palm reading, tarot is only as real as the
person’s ability to conduct the reading. Tarot magic is based on
symbology, or symbolism, and learning the tarot requires years of study
as well as a natural ability. Beware of free readings…you get what you
pay for. Learn to interpret the future cards yourself. MysticalSoup
Tarot online gives you all the information you need to begin Tarot
reading as a hobby.

Introduction to the Tarot
The Tarot is a method for viewing the essential truths of life by the
use of mystical symbols and pictures. The symbols and the sequence in
which they appear during a Tarot reading, when interpreted properly,
can be used as a divining tool, or for spiritual or personal guidance.
Myths abound as to the origins of the Tarot. While some claim that they
came from ancient Egypt from Thoth, the legendary god of Wisdom and
Magic, there is little evidence to prove that the Tarot came into
Europe from Egypt.
It has been documented that the Tarot surfaced in Italy between
1440-1550. The very first Tarot cards were commissioned by aristocrats
and nobility, and were exquisite in their design. Cards were either
painted on parchment or on thin sheets of ivory, silver or gold.
The cards contained mystic symbols whose secret meaning was passed on
through the oral traditions. As time passed these symbols were
reproduced on innocent-looking decks that were used in games of chance
by peasants who could not translate their true meaning.
Over the centuries many new Tarot decks were developed, each individual
to the differences in culture, religion and beliefs of a particular
region. However, the common point between them all is that each deck is
comprised of seventy-eight cards, each one illustrating life
experiences from the ordinary to the resplendent.
The Tarot as been used as an oracle and mystical to for spiritual
enlightenment by many. Esteemed scholars have drawn parallels between
the Tarot and alchemy, Jungian psychology, Hermetic philosophy, the
Kabbalah, astrology, and many other metaphysical disciplines.
