Tarot & Cartomancy Course My reading is like a giant jig-saw puzzle, I have some pieces, you have some pieces & together we should get a clear & precise picture of what is happening & will happen in the future. The latter based it on the belief that the word Tarot was devised from Ta-Rosh, the Egyptian meaning " Royal Way". This course explains the difference between Tarot Cards & ordinary playing cards, describes divination & spreads, significant meanings, intuition & a full in-depth explanation of this delightful Mantic Tool. It also teaches you responsibility, professional counselling & the code of ethics which is inherent in the very fabric & symbolism of Tarot. There are many theories concerning the origins of playing cards. One legend has it that they were invented in China in AD 1120 to provide amusement for the Emperor Seun-Ho's concubines. Others assert that their origins were Indian, rather than Egyptian.
