Tarot is a mysterious deck of cards of unknown origin. This deck, at least 600 years of age, is the direct predecessor of our modern playing cards. Through the generations, the figures depicted on these maps enjoyed many incarnations. Evidence of the vitality and wisdom of the ancient Tarot, despite the appearance of such an active child from them as the playing cards that we use today, is that the parent's deck itself has not retired. In Central Europe, these old-fashioned tarot cards are still constantly used to play and predict fortunes. Today in America, the Tarot suddenly surfaced in the minds of many people. Like the mysterious figures suddenly popping up in our dreams, these Tarot characters seem to scream to attract our attention.
Dramatically bright breakthroughs of this kind usually mean that the parties that we have ignored in ourselves are looking for their recognition. There is no doubt that, like the figures of our dreams, the characters of the Tarot invade our complacency in order to convey to us messages of great importance; But a modern person with a head immersed in verbal, verbal culture, it is extremely difficult to understand, solve, decipher the language of non-verbal pictures of the Tarot. In the following chapters, we will explore ways in which one can approach these mysterious figures and grasp the spark of understanding.
