Is the yes or no tarot reliable?

I didn't do the test, but it's quite possible that from a certain number of reading the average response will be neutral. That is the scientific vision. It is up to you to give a value to chance. What is certain is that if you decide to seriously follow the advice of the online 'Tarot de Marseille', you must be aware that it is as if you were following the advice of a coin toss.

Why use the yes or no Tarot?

There are other divinatory tools that can answer a question with yes or no.

• The pendulum: This method is simple. A pendulum is a weight (it can be a gemstone like a small lead mass) that is attached to a string or a fine chain. You have to hold the string between your thumb and index finger and ask a question. Normally the pendulum should start to oscillate. The direction it takes (clockwise or counter-clockwise) will give you the answer.
• Dice: Rolling a dice can give you a positive or negative reading by interpreting the resulting numbers.
• Salt: You have to take a handful of salt and throw it into a fire. Depending on the duration and intensity of the crackling, a clairvoyant may deduce a positive or negative response.
• Runes: By discovering three runes it is possible for you to deduce a reply to your question.

This list is not exhaustive, but it is sufficient to understand that the free tarot is not the only divinatory tool that has the ability to answer you by yes or no. Then why use it?

• If you are in real life, your choice will surely be made in relation to the divinatory object you already possess. In case you don't have any, you can find salt everywhere. But this divination technique is a bit complex, you need a fire and good interpretative skills. I will personally choose the pendulum because it is easy to make one. Obviously a pretty pendulum made of a noble material is pleasant to use, but it is also very easy to make one with a simple string and a weight. You don't need special skills to use it, even if its oscillations seems a bit 'magic', everybody is able to do it.
• If you prefer virtual life, then all forms of reading are available to you. For example, you could use an online crystal ball. Your preference will then be based on your taste.

A short history of the Tarot

Tarot is probably one of the most widely used divination tools in the world. Although it is not as simple as other methods such as the pendulum, the Tarot has been immersing people in its magic for centuries.

Even if you're not familiar with tarot readings, you've probably seen one of the most common decks, the famous Rider-Waite that has been in print since 1909. It was named after the publisher William Rider and the popular mystic AE Waite. There is also the Tarot de Marseille which probably originated in the 17th century and is very common.

The origin of the Tarot is not very clear. Some say it originated with the Cathars, others with the Sufis or even the gypsies or the Jewish Kabbalists, not to mention the Egyptians. But all the evidence indicates that it appeared in the early 1400s in northern Italy.

The Tarot is not the first card game that existed. slam participated between 1375 and 1378 in the spread of playing cards in Europe. These cards were an adaptation of the Mamluk cards. It was not until later that someone created the original Tarot. It was used for a new type of game. This one was similar to bridge, but with 21 special cards that served as permanent trumps.

It became extraordinarily popular, especially among the upper classes. Then the game gradually spread to northern Italy and eastern France. Modifications were often made to the images and the ranking of the trumps. With time, the game could be found as far away as Sicily and even in Austria, Germany, etc...

The first names given to the card game are all Italian. It was initially known as "carte da trionfi". hen the word "tarocchi" started to be used in Italy, while the Germans used the word "tarock" and the French said "Tarot".

The earliest treatise on the use of Tarot for divination seems to have appeared in Italy around 1540, but the first unambiguous evidence of its use for divinatory purposes can be seen in Bologna in the early 1700s. However, we also know that ordinary playing cards were used for divination as early as 1487, so it is reasonable to assume that Tarot was also used for divination.

In 1781, a French Freemason, Antoine Court de Gebelin, published a complex analysis of the Tarot. In it, he reveals that the symbolism of the deck is actually derived from the esoteric secrets of the Egyptian priests. In his essay, the chapter on the meaning of the Tarot explains the symbolism of the Tarot and connects it to Isis, Osiris and other Egyptian gods. The problem with Gebelin's work is that there is no real historical evidence to support it. But in the early 19th century, decks such as the Tarot de Marseille were produced that took Gebelin's analysis into account.

Over the centuries, the Tarot evolved into the Tarot we know today in its various forms.
