There is something in most people's nature that is intrigued by the unknown. We may not really believe another person can predict what will happen in the future or be able to tell all about ourselves by looking into a crystal ball, but it is fun to speculate these things are possible. If you have ever been tempted to stop when you see a roadside sign advertising palm readings or pay to find out what lurks behind a closed curtain at a carnival show, you are not alone. Tarot readings seem somewhat exotic, and most people do not know much about them.
Depending on what you read or who you believe, these cards may or may not go back to ancient times. Some adamantly state that they were commonly used in early Egyptian civilization. Someone else will tell you that there is no evidence for that, and the cards did not show up historically until the fourteenth century. Still others point to the eighteenth century as the earliest indication they existed.
The Fool is an interesting card. It depicts a youthful individual who seems to have the whole world in front of him. Most readers will you tell that he represents freedom from care and day to day responsibility. He comes and goes as he pleases and never seems to make plans for the future.
The Empress card embraces nature, and encourages calmness and serenity in the face of adversity. This character has confidence in the future and in herself. She represents abundant goodness and creativity. She has an aura of wholesomeness and seems to be the card that most represents productivity and seasonal nature of life.
The Emperor card, on the other hand, is a go getter type that uses strength and power to his advantage. This is a person who is willing to step over, and sometimes on, more timid individuals. He believes in structure and controlling his environment. He is not always open to different opinions.
The Hermit, not so surprisingly, symbolizes solitude, introspection, and even wisdom. The drawing on the card shows an old man with a long beard, cloak and cane holding up a lighted lantern. He apparently retreats from the outside world in order to contemplate the meaning of his life and the lives of others.
Many people are interested in the Lovers card. They might go to a fortune teller to find out about their love life, and this is the card they want to see. It represents sexuality, union, and the power of relationships. A reading of this card can be disappointing however, it it turns out that the union predicted is not between two people, but a person and a career for instance.
Having your future read by a believer can be very interesting and might give you something to think about on your own. It may help you work through some problems in your life in new ways. Even if you are skeptical and take the whole idea with a huge grain of salt, you will at least have fun.
