About the Tarot:
"The Tarot deck was created in the fifteenth century in northern Italy. The cards were manufactured for use in a trick-taking game very much like modern Bridge. Even today, the game of Tarot, and its many variants (Tarocchi, Tarock, etc.) remain popular in parts of Europe.
Most scholars agree the earliest known decks reflect a Medieval Christian mindset (though the illustrations also draw upon other sources, including mythology). Many scholarly sources believe the earliest Tarot trump cards depict an allegory, or symbolic story, which appears to illustrate the triumph of God's will over all. While cards like Death and the Devil do appear in the deck, these concepts likely do so because they appear in the Bible. Given that the earliest Trump series incorporates images of the Christian resurrection (Judgment) and the appearance of the transfigured Christ (or the dawning of the "New Jerusalem"), no well-informed person or organization would ever associate the cards with demonism or Satanism. Modern decks associate the cards with all kinds of philosophies and trends, but the cards themselves are neither Satanic nor Demonic in origin."

Just a random thought for you, my Friend. Know your limits, but never stop trying to exceed them. It is never too late to be who you might have been. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. Cosmic smiles.

Thank you for your comment on my page.According to Walter Martin,the power of tarot cards are considered demonic-causing.but what you've stated in "About",it makes sense,that "the cards themselves are neither Satanic nor Demonic."I think what is meant is that"spirits"can be called in according to the intention and motivation of the user of the tarot cards,& the susceptibility of the mind(s)of the people who play with so-called "darkness"
