Encyclopedic overview
Tarot cards have two distinct uses. As playing cards they were invented in Europe in the 15th century for playing games and are still used for that purpose. From the late 18th century, certain Italian-suited tarot packs were utilised for fortune telling - a practice known as tarotology - nowadays bespoke packs are produced specifically for this purpose. Please use the correct sub-categories accordingly.
