Description
the website posted below talks about the surprising origins of tarot cards, and how their unique designs rose in popularity throughout the centuries.

Connection
It's surprising to learn that Tarot cards have not always been associated with fortune-telling and divination, but rather they were originally used as a unique set of playing cards in Eastern Europe and Italy in the 14th and 15th centuries. Tarot cards were most popularly used in the card game Tarocchi Appropriati, where players were dealt random cards and had to write poetic verses using the themes of the cards, which are oddly linked to the fortune-telling aspect of the cards.

Connection
It is very important t learn how to cut and shuffle the cards in various ways. The mood and atmosphere may change the way that you choose to shuffle the deck. The client may also feel that if the reader were to shuffle the cards the same way every time, the reader might be trying to manipulate the outcome of the cards. This would be done to help boost their rating by giving the advice the client wants to hear. This video also offers some insight into what the different cards are and different techniques involving tarot cards. ]]> 2020-03-28 20:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/z_mcmaster/7pv4inshaj20/wish/479946919 https://padlet.com/z_mcmaster/7pv4inshaj20/wish/480048201 1. What Surprised me most when researching the Tarot is the great extent of people who believe in and practice Tarot Card readings.
2. I first became interested in Tarot card reading when I was young and watched the movie James Bond: Live and let Die in which one of the main characters is a fortune teller who uses Tarot Cards.
3. When shuffling Tarot Cards there  is a possible 341,427,877,364,219,557,396,646,723,584. Combinations so you have to wonder if the cards that are pulled are really random?
4. I will most remember how to actually use Tarot cards. Should I ever actually pick up a deck for myself.
5. The pseudoscience I feel to be the most harmful would be mystical healing(especially with all that's going on in the world today) people who believe that they know more than professional doctors will always result in Calamity.
6. I would say that while unscientific beliefs are fine you should always have some skepticism if only to protect yourself and others from harm.]]> 2020-03-29 01:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/z_mcmaster/7pv4inshaj20/wish/480048201 https://padlet.com/z_mcmaster/7pv4inshaj20/wish/480051135

In the photo below, tarot cards are placed alongside symbols that represent astrological signs; linking the two together.


Connection
There is no denying that astrology and tarot are deeply linked; as both philosophies consult the astral world for guidance. While in astrology, zodiac signs and readings focus more on planets and their positioning, tarot cards focus on the mythical power of the astral world. Some believe that every card in the tarot deck relates to astrology. According to believers in both tarot and astrology, zodiac signs are each linked to a tarot card from the Major Arcana. The relationships between astrology and tarot cards are as follows:

• Aries is linked with The Emperor, a card representing loyalty.
• The card of the Taurus is The Hierophant, representing knowledge and people seeking higher truths.
• Gemini is linked with The Lovers, representing the same dual nature of choosing between the high and the low road.
• Cancer, or The Chariot, represents the love for being free and overcoming life’s conflicts.
• Leo’s card is Strength, representing mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual power and courage.
• Virgo is linked to The Hermit, representing a need to slow down and focus on purpose in life.
• Libra’s card is Justice, a state of mind where people put their feelings and emotions aside in order to make a fair decision and outcome.
• Scorpio is linked to Death, and this sign welcomes change and transformation.
• Sagittarius and its counterpart Temperance are gifted mediators and often find their way through difficulties.
• Capricorn is linked to The Devil, advising people to reflect on negativity and swap it for confidence.
• The card of Aquarius is The Star, focusing on optimism and helping people around them to believe that anything is possible.
• Pisces are linked to The Moon, a creature of ever-changing moods.

Description
Below is a website explaining and connecting the use of tarot cards in modern pop culture.


Connection
Tarot’s history and mystical allure mean the game has proven consistently popular across various genres of art and film. With tarot cards, there is a "fear of the unknown," due to the fact that science cannot be explained through modern science. An excellent example of tarot in film is in the 1965 film "Dr. Terror's House of Horror." It tells the story of five guys in a carriage, who are joined by the mysterious "Dr. Schreck." He produces a deck of tarot cards, and tells each of them that their futures may not be so bright as they had hoped. There are vampires, werewolves, and a disembodied creeping hand. Naturally, the dramatic appearance of the Death card occurs.]]> 2020-03-30 03:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/z_mcmaster/7pv4inshaj20/wish/481221343 mac_dan1 https://padlet.com/z_mcmaster/7pv4inshaj20/wish/481221658
