1. The origin of Tarot cards::
▼The ancient Italian theory - according to the research of historians, as early as the fourteenth century, nobles from various European countries were already playing Tarot cards. During this period, the Holy See banned Tarot cards and characterized them as devil's atlas and pagan items. In addition, the earliest tarot cards known to modern times appeared in Italy in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The Italian poker game "tarocco" has a similar pronunciation to the "tarto" Tarot cards, and there are only twenty-two cards, which are similar to the twenty-two main cards of the Tarot (Major Arcana). At the same time, the Italian poems sung about The meanings of love, victory, kindness, death, reputation, destiny and future are similar to those of Tarot cards. Therefore, the idea that Tarot cards originated in Italy has been agreed by many people. However, many scholars who study Tarot cards believe that this evidence only shows that Tarot cards once appeared in Europe, and do not believe that Tarot cards originated in Europe.
▼Gypsy Theory - Scholars who study Tarot cards believe that the Tarot cards were most likely brought to Europe by Gypsies from Asia or Africa. They made a living by divination, and the Tarot cards were theirs. One of the methods of divination. However, the Gypsies are a wandering nomadic people. Is it possible for them to develop a very systematic Tarot philosophy? Tarot may not be a product of Gypsies, they just learned it from other civilizations.
▼Ancient Egyptian Theory - Some people think that Tarot cards are a product of ancient Egypt. Many people believe that after the destruction of Alexandria in Egypt, the Moroccan city of Fez became a new world academic center, where scholars from all over the world gathered. Unfortunately, they did not have a common language and writing, so they prepared An atlas full of mysterious symbols, using pictures instead of language and words, and later these pictures evolved into playing cards for the game. This statement is too difficult to believe and has no factual basis. However, there is another statement from ancient Egypt that is worth listening to.
Thoth (someone translated him as [Egyptian Moon God]) is one of the many gods of the ancient Egyptians. He is in charge of wisdom and magic. He is also the inventor of numbers. Some people think that he invented the two Major Arcana cards in the Tarot as one of the rituals of Egyptian wizards.
This statement also has little basis. Tarot card experts who believe in this theory believe that there must be relevant documentation in Egypt. In 1799, Napoleon’s army discovered a piece of ancient Egyptian inscription engraved with Word. Not only this clay tablet, but also other Egyptian documents have not found any record of Tarot cards, which is a frustrating thing for believers in Egyptology. Whether this statement is right or wrong, it is undeniable that many Tarot card symbols originated from ancient Egypt.
▼Jewish theory - After a series of studies, experts have found that Tarot cards are closely related to the ancient Hebrew kabbala. This statement can be said to be more reliable. Kabbala is an ancient Jewish philosophy. According to legend, it was taught to Moses (or Moses) by God. It is a kind of knowledge that allows people to cooperate with each other to enhance their spiritual strength. The twenty-two Major Arcana cards of the Tarot have a profound relationship with the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the kabbala. Some people have compiled a comparison table between the Tarot cards and the ancient Hebrew letters. In recent decades, they have Research on tarot cards has shown that the argument that tarot cards originated from ancient Jews is highly credible.
To summarize the above statement, the origin of Tarot cards is roughly as follows: First of all, the Major Arcana of Tarot cards originated from the kabbaka of ancient Jews. Since ancient Jews often had contact with ancient Egyptians, they also It absorbed many Egyptian religious symbols. With the frequent wars in the Middle East, the predecessor of Tarot cards almost disappeared. Later, the Gypsies somehow learned to use Tarot cards, but I believe they did not seem to have a very good understanding of the philosophical aspects of Tarot cards. They used it as a divination tool. It spread to Europe between the 12th and 14th centuries, but was quickly banned by the Holy See. After the power of the church weakened, Tarot cards could be developed again, and new Tarot cards were launched one after another. Especially at the end of the 19th century, when researchers connected the Tarot cards with the scroll artifacts of the ancient Jewish esoteric religion, the popularity of the Tarot cards began to rise. Research has become more systematic, and Rider Tarot is one of the representatives.
