Why don't you give readers the real scoop on tarot cards? Tarot cards were not intended for the occult. They were made for playing a type of card game similar to spades. Why is there no mention of tarot cards being used for games in this article? Not only are there people in Europe today playing tarot card games, there are also people in the USA and other countries discovering these rewarding card games. You are misleading the public into believing that tarot cards were intended for the occult. The mainstream media needs to stop accepting at face value the occult claims about tarot cards and do some real investigative reporting for a change on the subject of tarot.
Tarot cards do not come from Egypt. They have nothing to do with Kabbalah or anything esoteric. Tarot cards come from Italy and there is no evidence that tarot cards were made for any other reason than for game playing. The readers of your publication should be aware of these facts.
