TRADITIONS / CULTURAL CONTEXT
Tarot & cartomancy.
Cards, imagery and interpretive practice.
THE CONTEXT
A named point of entry.
Card imagery can be studied alongside the history of card games and later interpretive uses. The Metropolitan Museum’s account provides a starting point for distinguishing historical tarot cards from subsequent fortune-telling traditions.
A WAY TO STUDY
Keep the source in view.
Name the deck, edition and interpretive source. Record the arrangement and visible imagery before writing the reading. Keep later associations attributed to their authors.
