Since ruminations of Egyptian roots in the primitive one of Le Monde by Antoine Court of Gébelin 1781 which inspired the occultism of Etteilla soon Jean-Babtiste Alliette, one believed it by much whom the Tarot is much older than this. Based on alleged similarities of language illustrated and reinforced by additional classification, some claim that Tarot came from ancient Egypt, of the mystical tradition hébreue of Kabbalah, or a large variety of other places and exotic times. Such ideas, however, are speculative.

In fact, although much the illustrated language of Tarot seems mysterious or exotic to the modern users, almost all reflects popular conventional symbolism to him towards the end of the average ages and the Rebirth early. Almost all him can easily be interpreted like reflexion of the dominant Christian values of times. Thus, the Tarots earliest could have been of descriptions of the processions of carnival which started the Christian season of lent or of the relative reason for the hierarchical powers found in poetry I Trionfi de Petrarch. The these trionfi or the triumphs was refined productions which posed Graeco-Romain symbolism then-with the fashion above a Christian allegory of sin, grace, and repurchase. In particular, versions earliest of the exposure of card of the world a known conventional image of the religious art of period to represent the marvellous city of street Augustine, and it is not coincidence which it often follows closely the card of judgement.

Several other early Tarot-like orders of portable art survive to place the Tarot deck of Visconti in the context. Posterior confusion about symbolism drives back, partly, of the occult Tarot decks, which began a process firmly of paganizing and universalizing symbolism at the point where the fundamental Christian allegory was slightly darkened like, for example, when the Tarot deck of Rider-Waite of the twentieth century early changed the pope into Hierophant and Popess the high priestess. It is notable which enters 1450 and the 1500 Tarot was really recommended for the instruction of the young people by moralists of Church. Not up to fifty years after the Tarot deck of Visconti it become associated with the play, and not until the 18èmes century and Gébelin and Etteilla with the occultism.

The cards of Tarot came thereafter to be associated mysticism and the magic. It was really a development late rather than early, as we can say sources of period on the divination and the magic of card. The Tarot was not largely adopted by mystics, occultists and companies of secrecy until 18th and 19th century. The tradition started in 1781, when Antoine Court of Gébelin, a Swiss ecclesiastic and the freemason, Le Monde published Primitif, a speculative study which included religious symbolism and its survivals in the modern world.

De Gébelin affirmed the first time that the symbolism of the Tarot Of marked Marseilles represented the mysteries of the IS-IS and Thoth. Still of claimed Gébelin that the named tarot came from the Egyptian expresses the tar, the royal significance, and the RO, meaning the road, and that the Tarot thus represented a royal road with wisdom. Gébelin affirmed these and the similar sights dogmatically; it did not present any clear effective obviousness to justify its complaints. Moreover, Gébelin wrote before Champollion deciphered the Egyptian hiéroglyphes. Late Egyptologists did not find anything in the Egyptian language which supports etymologies of imagination of Gébelin' S, but these results came too late; before the authentic Egyptian texts were available, the identification of the cards of Tarot with the Egyptian book of Thoth already was firmly established in practice occults.

Although cards of tarot were employed for fortune-statement with Bologna, Italy in the 1700s, they was largely announced first because a method of divination by Alliette, also called Etteilla, a French occultist which reversed the letters of its name and worked as scombres and soothsayer of card little before the French revolution. Etteilla designed the first esoteric Tarot deck of Tarot, adding astrological attributions and Egyptian reasons to various cards, changing good number of them designs of Marseilles, and adding significances divinatory in text on the cards. The Tarot decks of Etteilla, although now eclipsed by the full-illustrated Tarot deck of Smith and Waite and the Tarot deck of Thoth of Aleister Crowley, remain available. Late Marie-Anne the Norman one popularized the divination and prophecy during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. It was due, partly, of the influence which it used Joséphine de Beauharnais finished, the first wife of Napoleon. However, it typically did not employ Tarot.

The interest in Tarot by others occultists came later, during the hermetic rebirth of the 1840s in which between others Victor Hugo was implied. The idea of the cards like mystical key was still developed by Eliphas Levi and was passed in the world of English expression by the hermetic order of the gold paddle. Lévi, not Etteilla, are not regarded as being by certain the true founder of the majority of the contemporary schools of Tarot; its Dogma 1854 and Rituel of the High Magic English title: Magic of transcendantal presented an interpretation of the cards which connected them to Cabala. While Levi accepted complaints of Court of Gébelin' S about an Egyptian origin of the symbols of Tarot deck, it rejected the innovations and its changed Tarot deck of Etteilla, and conceived in the place a system which connected the Tarot, particularly the Tarot Of Marseilles, in Kabbalah and the four elements of alchemy. On the one hand, to date some of the significances divinatory of Etteilla for Tarot are still employed by some experts of Tarot.

Tarot became increasingly popular beginning in 1910, with the publication of Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, who took measurement to include images symbolic systems related to the significances divinatory on the numerical cards. Arthur Edouard Waite had been a first member of the hermetic order of the gold paddle. At the 20th century, an enormous number of various Tarot decks were created, certain traditional, an enormously different part. Thank, partly, with marketing by the systems of plays of the United States of editor, Rider-Waite-Smith that the Tarot deck was extremely popular in the world of English expression starting in the Seventies.
