The use of Tarot spans centuries, countries, and continents. It goes farther and deeper than scholars and historians know or will acknowledge, primarily because much of its history, along with the larger and more general history of divination and magic, has been hidden, obfuscated, and even destroyed.
For years I didn't care. I came across a pack of Tarot cards and played with them, intrigued by their pretty pictures, strange symbols, and the limited and romantic history I thought I knew. I equated Tarot with women and gypsies and incense and crystal balls. I thought of carnivals and church fairs and Renaissance festivals.
It never occurred to me that Tarot also meant men in suits, men who had trillions of dollars, men who wrote and manipulated history, and even men who controlled the world.
Oh, there are women, too. Gypsies and witches of course, but also powerful women, those who remain hidden and those who are prominent in society.
I have traveled the world and spoken to hundreds of people. I've read thousands of documents. I've made a few friends and several dozen enemies.
I will not stop until the truth is known.
