There is great
difficulty in tracing the origins of cartomancy as we know it today. Several
sources provide theories that tell different tales of how the traditional
practice arrived in Europe. It is clear, however, that the art of cartomancy reading has stood the test
of time and can be traced back as early as the 14th century. One
theory suggests the cards traveled with gypsies from the East - India, Persia
and Egypt – and their ancient cartomancy was used for fortune-telling and divination
of the Unknown.
Another theory
proposes cartomancy was pioneered in northern Italy in the mid-15th
century, and it was here that the tarot card was born. The tarot display
pictograms that represent an experience or concept of life. The custom was known
that the card pulled from the pack would foretell the future of the querent
(the one who seeks). The oldest surviving tarot cards were found to have been
created between 1440 and 1447 for the court of Filippo Maria Visconti – Duke of
Milan, and were probably first used for playing games.
The turn of the
17th century saw the popularity in using playing cards for cartomancy reading increase. One of the
first techniques used was ‘cutting the deck’ – drawing a single card to test
luck or make a quick decision based on the revelation. Throughout the years,
each card has developed varying interpretations and consultation of the cards
differs between deck, religion, country and individual reader.
Today, an online
psychic reading is a convenient and modern approach to the time-honored art of
divination. A spread of cards can reveal hidden truths regarding love,
relationships, wealth and career opportunities, and spiritual guidance allows
your reader to tap into your invisible energy to unearth your true life path,
worries and desires. Free online psychic reading can also help us to gain perspective about important choices, and can aid in
connecting with the Higher Self. If there is an obstacle to overcome or your
destiny to seek, consider the time machine of the psychic reading – a practice
deeply rooted in the past, and a window to the future.
