Despite this kind of history, which places the first decks of the tarot being released and played (often in a casual kind of card game rather than a tool of divination) around 1375, it is possible that the ancient mysteries, as well as the archetypes that are revealed in the Major Arcana cards, which didn’t come into the deck until 1450, were actually passed down from ancient cultures across the world.

The symbols are able to speak to us in ways that are hard to put into words, and that is basically the essence that is seen with divination. Despite this, though, the images for both the Minor and the Major Arcana cards were not added to this deck until years later.
