Tarot: A Brief Introduction to a Forgotten Science

It is an incredible understatement to say that the occult has been misrepresented in today’s era. The ancient sciences of occult divination are perhaps the most misunderstood and misinterpreted aspects of occult philosophy, despite the fact that the correct sources of information have always sat just beneath the surface-level information on the subject for those who would care to muster up the courage to dive just a bit deeper. “Divination” is a practice upheld in all occult schools of thought throughout history, from the mystics of the far East, to the ancient Druids, Egyptians, and beyond – and the subjects of this category can be considered Tarot, Numerology, Astrology, and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life (which dates back much further than the Hebrew Kabbalists). While these phrases are generally considered to be of Western esoteric practice, the divinations of the East can as well be generally agreed to fit within these categories.

Now, with the presented context of information, there are surely a great deal of red-flags that the rational mind brings about, and questions like, “How can planets, playing cards, and numbers affect or predict human life and happenstance?” are generally rampant during explanations of these psychological sciences, as they are indeed sciences. Unfortunately, those skeptics asking questions like the one just posed – instead of boasting their “rationally oriented intellect” by pointing out the basic fallacies of divination – are proving how gullible, naïve and ignorant they really are to the things they have already “logically explained away” to themselves. The obvious answer that’s under the general public’s nose is that planets, playing cards, and numbers cannot in and of themselves affect human nature – and the ancient esoteric occultists were also well aware of this.
