In these decks, all the cards are illustrated according to Kabbalistic principles, and most are influenced by the Rider-Waite deck. Its images were drawn by the artist Pamela Colman Smith, following instructions from the Christian mystic and occultist Arthur Edward Waite, and published in 1911. Tarot is often used alongside the study of Hermetic Qabalah. One difference from Marseille-style decks is that Waite-Smith uses scenes with esoteric meanings on the suit cards. Tarot cards have become very popular in Japan, where hundreds of new decks have been designed in recent years. - HISTORY OF TAROT: Where does tarot come from? What is it? One of the earliest references to tarot trumps, and probably the first reference to tarot as the devil's picture book, was made by a Dominican preacher in a fiery sermon against the evils of the devil's instrument. References to tarot as a social plague continued throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, but there is no indication that the cards were used for anything other than games anywhere outside Bologna. As Dummett (1980: 96) points out, "...it was only in the 1780s, when the practice of divination with regular playing cards had been well established for at least two decades, that anyone began to use the Tarot deck for cartomancy." Belief in the divinatory meaning of the cards is closely connected to belief in their occult properties: a common belief in the 18th century propagated by prominent Protestant clergy and Freemasons:96 One of them was Court de Gébelin (see below). From its modest acceptance as an instrument of prophecy in France, tarot became a hermeneutic, magical, mystical, semiotic, and even psychological phenomenon. It was used by the Romani people to tell fortunes, as a Jungian psychological device capable of tapping into "absolute knowledge in the unconscious," as a tool for archetypal analysis, and even as a tool to facilitate the Jungian process of individuation. *Court de Gébelin* Many involved in occult and divinatory practices try to trace tarot back to ancient Egypt, divine Hermetic wisdom, and the mysteries of Isis. Possibly the first of these was Antoine Court de Gébelin, a French clergyman who wrote that, after seeing a group of women playing cards, he came to believe that tarot was not simply a card game, but was in fact of ancient Egyptian origin, of mystical Kabbalistic importance, and of profound divine significance. De Gébelin published a thesis on the origins of tarot symbolism in volume VIII of Le Monde primitif in 1781. He thought that tarot represented ancient Egyptian theology, including Isis, Osiris, and Typhon. For example, he thought that the card he knew as La Papesse and that is now known as the High Priestess represented Isis. He also associated four tarot cards with the four Christian cardinal virtues: Temperance, Justice, Strength, and Prudence, and linked the Tower to a Greek fable about greed. Although the ancient Egyptian language had not yet been deciphered, de Gébelin claimed that the name "Tarot" came from the Egyptian words Tar, "path" or "way," and Ro, Ros, or Rog, meaning "King" or "royal," and that tarot literally translated as the Royal Road of Life.13] Later Egyptologists found nothing in the Egyptian language to support de Gébelin's etymologies. Despite this lack of evidence, the belief that tarot cards are linked to the Egyptian Book of Thoth continues to this day. The actual source of occult tarot can be traced to two articles in volume eight, one written by him and the other by M. le C. de M.***. The second has been noted as even more influential than de Gébelin's. Its author takes de Gébelin's speculations even further, agreeing with him about tarot's mystical origins in ancient Egypt, but making several additional and influential claims that continue to shape popular understanding of occult tarot to this day. He makes the first claim that tarot is in fact the Book of Thoth, that it is associated with the Romani people (and that the Romani people wandered through Egypt), and makes the first association between tarot and cartomancy.
