About Tarot & Tarot Professionals
Tarot arose in the 15th century, in Italy, and has since proven popular throughout the world as a means of self-discovery, spirituality and divination beyond its original card-playing origins. It is now regularly used by hundreds of thousands of readers and students, with approximately a thousand different tarot decks in publication.
Tarot is usually composed of a deck of 78 cards, broken into four suits (Pentacles, Swords, Cups and Wands) with Ace-Ten and four Court Cards, plus twenty-two Major Arcana such as the Lovers.
The origin of the word is unknown however it is believed to be of Italian origin, perhaps first referring to “triumphs” or the “trick-taking” aspect of the game of Tarot. It is probably best-known for its appearance in a range of films and TV shows, including the James Bond film, Live and Let Die, in which Jane Seymour, as “Solitaire” used a special deck actually designed for the film by Surrealist Scottish artist Fergus Hall, who also designed covers for the band, YES.
Tarot Professionals is the largest professional worldwide organisation for Tarot readers, students and enthusiasts. It offers education, advice and support for all Tarot readers and students.
