At it's most simple, tarot is a tool. It is certainly possible for many psychics and readers to get information from a person by simply looking at that person, touching them or tuning in to their energy in some way. Most do not go around spontaneously reading people without specifically being requested to do so. Tarot is my chosen tool for channeling and organizing the information I receive while doing a reading of an individual. The cards themselves go back many centuries and the archetypes they represent are timeless. Modern tarot decks combine these universal archetypes with symbolism from practically every spiritual path and way of thinking.
There is a great deal of information available on the internet about the history of tarot and it's various uses through the ages.
