By the the late 1800’s occultists worldwide were relying on TAROT as one of the most comprehensive and reliable devices available. It’s low barrier to entry and accessibility to stream consciousness invites the occult curious of all levels to ponder fate. Made up of a 22 card Major Arcana and the four suits of the 56 card Minor Arcana, The TAROT illuminates humanity’s path from our deep and shadowed past.
