tarot-death1Myth 1 – “The Tarot cards can predict the future”
Predicting the future is not difficult, we can do. For example, if you know someone, it consistently spending more than they deserve and for payment of their own by creating a debt of credit card, then it is not difficult to predict wherever we go. Or if you know someone expecting a baby, you can, on the basis of experience, to accurately predict as many months of sleep deprivation and fatigue before them. The Tarot is not much more than that. It has centuries of human experience distilled into a simple philosophy and the importance for each card. Another view is to say that the Tarot accurately forecast the future is to allow us to better perhaps some of the possibilities.

Myth No. 2 – “The Tarot of Ancient Egypt”
The first, perhaps the Tarot back for the 16 Century is Italy. There is no evidence of a Tarot existing anywhere in the world before it. Some argue that the cards come from India or China, but the reason is also speculation.

Myth # 3 – “The reception of the Death card is, someone to die”
Unlikely. The point about the symbolism of the cards, truths deeper than life. For one card, it would be literally, on a layer of interest and acumen. In case of death of the card, the medieval spirit of death represented an inevitable and often transfer to a better place. The card is for change and evolution. We can not exclude the possibility to say from time to time one person dead.

Myth No. 4 – “The reading of Tarot cards, it takes the occult”
There are many that have Pagan Tarot, witchcraft or Schamanische roots and some even in the Tarot devil worship and Satanic rituals. Another common requirement is that the Tarot of the old religions now forgotten. None of this is true. Tarot, as already said, was born in Italy and medieval dominant cultural background of the time was Christian. The symbolism of the card is either Christian or Jewish – New or Old Testament. The word “occult” simply means “hidden” so that, in this sense, one might say, reading deals with the occult, because it attempts to show what is hidden.

Myth 5 – “read your own cards and misery”
This is one the players and professionals, those who do not know the cards to be true, but often repeated. It may be that the reader of Tarot cards, read their own cards. No, because they have bad luck, but simply because it is not effective. A good Tarot reading requires the three parties, the questioner, the drive and the bridge. The player tries to remain objective and reports flat the question of what the maps without distortion or desire to hear a message. Play this role in his reading is difficult or impossible.

Myth 6 – “You have some psychic ability, see the Tarot”
Most people can learn to read the Tarot to a lesser degree or greater. No forces are needed, because everything is wisdom in the maps and the importance which, over the years.

Myth 7 – “Nobody should ever your Tarot deck”
There are some doctors that wont let anyone have their tarot cards. Although a reading of the issue of growing flat shuffle the deck, which, in itself. In my experience, this valuable attitude comes from those who want themselves and their bridge to something special. Control, if you wish.

8 myth “The Tarot can be used to spell or effect, other people”
It is sometimes thought that the Tarot can be used not to predict. Influence on the life of someone at a distance, for good or evil.

One of the messages, the Tarot is that few opportunities, we may influence our lives even more by another. Put yourself in the little Tarot would probably say: “Make your own act together before trying to change.”

Myth 9 – “The Bridges of different readings”
It is something subjective, but not in my experience. Whatever the significance of the bridge more than four centuries, remains the same. Several people are invited to join us for some bridges rather than others, and the images the client with the most comfortable is the best atmosphere for reading. A cynical person might think this myth is the bridge by the manufacturer.

It is the belief that those who possessed, Tarot and maintain, at a reading at the time to the misfortune or danger, the crowd on board.
