This is Tarot, part 1 of 3

Few cultural artifacts have been as distorted and misrepresentated as the Tarot. Tarot cards were first created for playing a card game and the fortune telling excercises evolved much later. There is no evidence that Tarot cards were created for any other purpose than for playing a card game. In France, Tarot is played as a classic card game where it has been called the Chess of card games. This is a demonstration of the modern French game using the Tarobot program.

In the French game it is common to use a modern looking deck with the suit signs of hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs. The modern court cards are double figured and the trumps display scenes quite different from fortune telling decks.

2 different tarot cards.. divinational and game cards.. buy a pack of didvinational tarot cards. Huge difference buddy...

[Oudler]

@Ryno3367 A huge difference indeed! Divination Tarot cards are different from the Tarot playing cards as the needs of card readers are different from the needs of card players. The only problem I have with Tarot divination though is that, unlike Tarot games, most Americans already know about it so it's become too mainstream. I think a different side of Tarot should also be presented in the media.

@piqueret This is one of my first videos here so yes my mike skills were not as good as I'd like them to be and plus I was playing a game while doing the talking which presented another challenge.

@RadioRevistaCabala el tema del video es el juego de tarot. No es el tarot adivinatorio

[Ryno3367]

@Oudler very true... people are just to obsessed on the fact that they are used as a fortune telling tool that they forgot their ture herritage which was a card game... i agree with you on that people should aknowledge that tarot is also a card game.
