## The Tarot's Hidden History: From Playing Cards to Oracle My dearest friends, have you ever held a Tarot deck in your hands and felt a thrill of ancient magic, a whisper of forgotten secrets? It’s a feeling I know well, a sense of connection to something far greater than ourselves.
But have you ever wondered where these beautiful, enigmatic cards truly come from?
