Once used exclusively by the learned and wise as a tool for magical training and self-discovery, the origins of tarot cards are lost to us now. Although most believe tarot found its current form during the Mediaeval period, some consider the first cards originated in Ancient Egypt. Today, tarot is the most popular divination method and can be used for empowerment and guidance by anyone wishing to harness their intuitive and psychic abilities. All tarot decks in the Eastgate Tarot Collection include 22 Major Arcana cards, 56 Minor Arcana Cards and full instructions for interpreting readings.
