Transcript

 * "Tarot was based on the 22 Hebrew
 * consonants and is said to represent
 * the entire world.


 * Each card, numbered 0 through 21,
 * has a particular meaning.
 * By reading these cards,
 * fortunetellers predict the future.


 * For example, the first card, 'The
 * Magician', signifies creation, wisdom,
 * beginnings, or destruction and fraud.
 * The second card, 'The High Priestess',
 * denotes intuition, harmony, faith, or
 * dogmatism and arrogance.


 * According to some texts, the
 * Gardner deck had more than 22
 * cards. (The Gardner deck does not
 * exist today; it is mentioned only in
 * the literature.)


 * It is said that these extra cards were
 * based on lost Hebrew vowels and
 * denoted an otherworldly,
 * transcendental existence: i.e., God."
