>>20964730This is the truth about tarot and anything anyone else says otherwise is wrong! Tarot was invented by italians to be a game rich people gambled with. There were various games no different than the games that exist for the modern 52-card suited deck.
After some time, the game moved from Italy to France, where the french made some modifications to the art and style. Centuries later, retarded occultist britbongs found these weird French cards in some thrift store and took them home. Then they wrote all this fanfiction about how these cards were used for divination and the art had some kind of occult message (in reality both the Italian and French decks have a lot of Catholic imagery).
Another century or two goes by and stupid modern women read blogs that are written by people who read the synopses of the books written by retarded britbong occultists and you get the state of modern tarot being some kind of roastie magical bullshit thing when at no point was it ever intended for divination nor does it possess hidden occult messages within it.
TL;DR Imagine if 300 years from now someone finds pokemon cards and starts writing about how Charizard is some kinds of occult symbol used for fortune telling and that's the story of tarot.
