The origin of the tarot dates to the 14th century in Italy where they were called triumphs and used for noble and sacred pursuits (the 22 triumphs corresponding to the Major Arcana) and ludic purposes (the four suited pack corresponding to the 56 Minor Arcana). The cards were depositories of important moral teachings belonging to the late medieval and renaissance culture but also inheritances of ancient knowledge. It is from the 17th century that the tarot, in particular the Tarot De Marseille, became popular as a tool for divination. In the 20th century, then, the tarot cards were redesigned by the British occultists giving rise to some popular decks like the Raider-Waite and Crowley.
The uses of the tarot are constantly evolving and since the last century, also in relation to the emergence of psychology, they became a tool to complement therapy and for encouraging processes of personal evolution and development. It is from the point of view of Tarology, - an approach to tarot reading where the cards are conceived as symbolic-imaginative tools for inner development.
