The Tarot, A Friend In Our Life


Mistakenly, many people believe that tarot is related to the occult, or some sort of evil power, or invocation sinful. However, the tarot is a friend of someone who has a question, a concern, a problem. Perhaps the idea that the tarot is related to unclean things to do with its origin is highly bound to the Gypsy people, the recipient of many prejudices and possessing a "bad image" by Western society. You must be fair and say that this bad image of the gypsy people originated in the persecution they were subjected to a fierce during the Inquisition, a historical period also known as "the dark years" as opposed to the Enlightenment, a stage that would happen and mark an opening in the thinking of man.

The Egyptians were, indeed, who created the tarot. But managers were the gypsies, a constant throughout his pilgrimage through the world, led him to all corners of the planet. The tarot is originated from a human need to connect with the divine, opening a door to a higher plane of consciousness. If we believe that the essence of man is good, which has light and life, any attempt to approach it could be considered as hidden or malignant.

Tarot cards, very accurately characterize different characters that are part of the divine conception common to many societies all over the world. The man, in various forms, has characterized a superior being, a god, which gives coordinates and reference points to the human dimension. That God may have many different features, but the common denominator is that it is a body good, generous, granting miracles and loves his children, so all men pray to their God pleading in case of necessity or ails them great pain. How could we pray to an evil god? Consequently, any attempt to reach God and enjoys the protection of divine light, the tarot is just that. Therefore, the tarot is a friend of the sufferer, who has a need or an open question. The Inquisition was an unfortunate and tragic moment in our history that marked forever the way that they consider some facts and events. But fortunately, over, and again when processing history.
