The earliest tarot cards date from 15th century Europe, and are still used in much of Europe to play card games and are not used for divination. But in English speaking countries, since around the 17th century, such card games are rarely played and instead the cards are used for divination.
Divination tools come in many different guises from tarot cards to teacups, Ouija boards to astrology, dowsing rods to crystal balls. Why do you think humans are so eager to see their future, and do you think tarot cards, or any other divination method, can predict the future?
