Created, and Illustrated with Pencils & Inks
"In the small hours of the morning, I sat down to draw. The first card I created was "The Hermit", then I created the Cover Art, "Death", and "The Hanged Man". The illustrations began to fill with contrasting blacks, whites, earth, death, and life, I knew how I would create the 78 Tarot cards. There was no turning back..."
- Robert N. Riedel
The History of Tarot
The Tarot originated in Europe in the mid 15th century and was used for various card games during that time. Later in the 18th century, French occultists began to claim Tarot told stories of history and carried deeper meanings... These claims and beliefs lead to card readings and the new emergence of creating custom decks for reading divination and fortune-telling.
Major Arcana & Minor Arcana
Like typical playing cards, Tarot has four suits numbered from Ace-Ten with four face cards: King, Queen, Knight, Page. The Tarot deck used for cartomancy has an additional 22 trump cards referred to as the Greater or Major Arcana. These Major Arcana cards have no suit and are numbered in Roman Numerals. The Fool is numbered zero.
