For those new to Tarot, I stumbled upon this article on the ever-informative How Stuff Works website. Though some of the links don't work, are outdated (like the Tarot Certification Board of America which doesn't exist anymore), or are in a different language, it gives a good general overview.
One of my favorite resource links they provide is to learnttarot.com which has plenty of free great lessons!
It's always fun to ponder the history and mystery of the Tarot.. we don't know exactly how they originated. Was it first in Egypt (where I feel I have a distant tie to) and lost in the great fires of its libraries? Or did they start as a game in Italy and France? Do they have an origin with other forms of divination, like the casting kind such as runes (which my husband reads) and dice? What can we learn from the ancient Hermetics and Kaballah?
I love delving deep into that stuff. :)
