Those who have a strong belief in the occult arts would say that the cards can also reveal secrets about people around you or even give insights into your own character.

The cards are one of the tools used by those wishing to see into the future. There are other many divination methods, a common one is the reading of horoscopes. Some people chose to make direct contact with a psychic. Whichever option is preferred the underlying hope is always that in gaining insight into possible futures the individual will be better able to adapt to what might happen or even change it.

Many people associate tarot with Egyptian magic and mystic beliefs; others will instantly think of Gypsy Lil at the fairground who will tell your future if you cross her hand with silver. In fact it is most probable that the cards were first introduced in fifteenth century for games and only later adapted for fortune and future telling. Eighteenth century believers in ancient Egyptian mysticism adapted the symbols in the cards to their own belief systems.

Different decks have developed over time, some are considered to be easier to interpret than others; others have a reputation for being somewhat dark. Cards have been designed by world renowned artists like Salvador Dali and also by individuals associated with the magical arts; Aleister Crowley to name but one example. It is suggested online that there may be seventy or more recognized tarot decks.

Whatever the design of the deck it will contain seventy-eight cards. Fifty-six of these are known as the minor arcana. Like playing cards these are arranged into four suits. The other twenty-two comprise the major arcana, they are considered to portray the most powerful principals and elements of life or to represent certain archetypes.

The cards can be laid out in many different ways, the reader will choose the most appropriate pattern for the question in hand. One of the most common and popular arrangements is the Celtic Cross; this ten card spread is believed to represent the questioner, and the influences around them. It is the pattern most often used to give a general life reading.

Other individuals believe that the uses of cards, horoscopes or any other tools are a way for the reader and questioner to key into their own subconscious and intuition. Those with a strong belief in magic maintain that the insights that can be gained from this work can help people to better understand their own strengths and weakness and that they can be a useful aid to personal development.
