EXPLORE THE ICONOGRAPHY
The cards in modern tarot decks have over a 500 year history and tracing their origin and development is both exciting and rewarding (the Divinci Code has nothing on this).
On the Tarot History Forum, we explore each card’s iconography in detail as well contrast and compare the endless deck variations over many centuries.
