Although most of these examples are drawn from cases where the authorities actively tried to suppress scams, the fraud cases did not always go as the police hoped. Many clients proved reluctant witnesses in court. While the authorities saw them as naive victims, many demonstrated a more flexible understanding of what they were paying for. For instance, a young woman in Rouen in 1888 told a court: While some symbols associated with witchcraft – such as the pentagram – are universal, others are more unique. Perhaps the most personal of these are sigils, which Grossman describes as a blend of artistry and witchcraft. "They are magical symbols that are charged with some kind of an intention to change or manifest something in one's life," she says. Lévi, Éliphas (2002) [1959]. The Key of the Mysteries.

published, under the imprint of his society, the Dictionnaire synonimique du Livre de Thot, a book that "systematically tabulated all the possible meanings which each card could bear, when upright and reversed." [30]As the following quote by P. D. Ouspensky shows, the association of the tarot with Hermetic, kabbalastic, magical mysteries continued at least to the early 20th century. People who use the tarot for personal divination may seek insight on topics ranging widely from health or economic issues to what they believe would be best for them spiritually. [111] Thus, the way practitioners use the cards in regard to such personal inquiries is subject to a variety of personal beliefs. For example, some tarot users may believe the cards themselves are magically providing answers, while others may believe a supernatural force or a mystical energy is guiding the cards into a layout. This is one of the many variations of a "Who Will I Marry?" tarot spread I have used in these types of readings. This spread utilizes what I call "The Hermit" spread structure, I find this structure useful when reading at length into an individual's future for a series or timeline of events. In this particular spread the first card laid represents a pivotal event or situation that could lead the querent to marriage. The last card laid (or lantern) is a significator of time or timeline. This card can represent a time by months, seasons or event in the [...] Pamela Colman Smith wrote in a letter that it was "a big job for very little cash" – but her vibrant illustrations were key in widening the appeal of tarot. "I think there's something about her intuitive understanding of these archetypes and her skill as an amazing graphic artist," says Hundley. "She went to the Pratt Institute, and was really well versed in commercial art and posters. So she understood how to convey them in a way that felt very inclusive, and allowed other people to understand them in a way I think they maybe didn't before. Tarot owes a huge debt to what she created."

The Tarocco Bolognese omits numeral cards two to five in plain suits, leaving it with 62 cards, and has somewhat different trumps, not all of which are numbered and four of which are equal in rank. It has a different graphical design than the two above as it was not derived from the Tarot of Marseilles. These twin myths of ancient wisdom and modern fraud still play a large role in how people respond to the cards. But they are not the only stories we can tell about the history of tarot.

Dover Publications. 1976, pp. 12–14 From its uptake as an instrument of divination in 18th-century France, the tarot went on to be used in hermeneutic, magical, mystical, [8] semiotic, [9] and psychological practices. It was used by Romani people when telling fortunes, [10] as a Jungian psychological apparatus capable of tapping into "absolute knowledge in the unconscious", [11] a tool for archetypal analysis, [12] and even a tool for facilitating the Jungian process of individuation.

"I think whenever we are in times where we feel like we don't have control or we feel powerless, we gravitate towards tools and systems that can help us feel like we have agency," says Grossman. "We might not be able to control the pandemic or climate change, but we each do have power in our own selves and we do have the ability to make change in our lives, and to connect to something greater than ourselves."

The fact that we question the Tarot as to whether it be a method or a doctrine shows the limitation of our 'three dimensional mind', which is unable to rise above the world of form and contra-positions or to free itself from thesis and antithesis! Yes, the Tarot contains and expresses any doctrine to be found in our consciousness, and in this sense it has definiteness. It represents Nature in all the richness of its infinite possibilities, and there is in it as in Nature, not one but all potential meanings. And these meanings are fluent and ever-changing, so the Tarot cannot be specifically this or that, for it ever moves and yet is ever the same. [22]
