The History of Tarot & Why We Use It (Taster)
Welcome to the first lesson in this taster course for the Foundational Tarot Course!
In this lesson, we’ll be covering the history of Tarot and why we still turn to the Tarot cards today.
Tarot has centuries of complex history and in order for us to use it respectfully, we need to know about its journey so far. We can’t really feel fully connected to a tool if we don’t know why it was created to begin with and how it has come to be what we know and love today.
