Why does the mainstream media deny the fact that Tarot cards are used for game playing?
Contrary to what the media often report, Tarot cards are not only used for prediciting.
They weren't even originally intended for this use!
Not one word uttered by Sandy Anastasi is the truth. The origins of Tarot cards are not mysterious.
Researchers know that the earliest cards are from 15th century Italy where they were used for playing a type of card game.
They would not be used to tell fortunes until the 18th century. The Gypsies would not use Tarot cards until the 20th century.
There is no evidence at all that Tarot cards were intended for "psychic training" or any other purpose than for game playing.
Tarot card games are still played today in continental Europe and the internet is now exposing these games to the entire world.
Google the terms, "tarot card games" jeu de tarot" "tarock" or "french tarot" and you will see examples of how Tarot is used for card games.
The View has presented a very one sided and inaccurate depiction of Tarot cards.
