Understanding Tarot: The Tradition Behind Our Platform

To appreciate what we offer, it helps to understand tarot's rich history and structure.

The History of Tarot

Tarot cards first emerged in the mid-15th century in Europe, originally as playing cards used for games (World History Encyclopedia). The oldest surviving tarot cards include mid-15th-century sets made for the Visconti-Sforza family of Milan. The symbolic images evolved over time, and by the 18th century they began to be used for cartomancy and spiritual guidance.

Today, the most widely used tarot deck is the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, published in 1909. Created by Arthur Edward Waite and illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith, this deck established much of the standard imagery readers still use. Waite later documented the system in The Pictorial Key to the Tarot. This is the tradition PullTarot follows for upright and reversed meanings.

Structure of the Tarot

A traditional tarot deck consists of 78 cards divided into two main categories, all available on our platform:

• Major Arcana (22 cards): These cards represent life's spiritual and karmic lessons. They describe major principles, concepts, and milestones. When you receive a Major Arcana card such as The Fool, pay special attention; it signals significant themes. Browse the full 78-card meanings library.
• Minor Arcana (56 cards): These cards reflect the trials and tribulations we experience on a daily basis. They are divided into four suits: Wands (creativity and passion), Cups (emotions and relationships), Swords (intellect and conflict), and Pentacles (material aspects and career). We provide detailed interpretations for each suit and card.

The Role of Tarot in Modern Times

While historically associated with fortune-telling, modern tarot is used as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth. The cards can help provide:

• Clarity in decision-making
• Insight into current situations
• Understanding of personal patterns and behaviors
• Guidance for personal development
• Different perspectives on life challenges

We embrace this modern approach while respecting traditional tarot wisdom, making our platform perfect for both spiritual exploration and practical life guidance.
