de Marseille is one of the oldest standardized deck patterns. It is from 17th&#8211;18th century France. It has simple symbolic pip cards rather than illustrated scenes.</span></p></li><li><p><span>The Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck was illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith in 1909. It is the most widely used deck today and the template most modern decks still follow.</span></p></li><li><p><span>The Thoth deck was created by Aleister Crowley and painted by Lady Frieda Harris. It uses dense esoteric symbolism, astrology, and Egyptian imagery. It renames some cards (Strength becomes &#8220;Lust,&#8221; Judgement becomes &#8220;The Aeon&#8221;).</span></p></li><li><p><span>Once RWS&#8217;s copyright lapsed, thousands of &#8220;reinterpretation&#8221; decks emerged. They kept RWS&#8217;s structure and card meanings while reimagining the art.</span></p></li><li><p><span>A deck&#8217;s art style doesn&#8217;t change a card&#8217;s core meaning. Death means the same thing whether shown as a skeletal reaper or something more abstract.</span></p></li><li><p><span>64tarot&#8217;s own signature deck is a good example of this principle in action. It has original, bespoke artwork, built on the same traditional structure and meanings.</span></p></li></ul><p><a href="https://64tarot.substack.com/p/lesson-3-the-two-arcana">Next lesson</a></p><div><hr></div><p>Try a free tarot reading <a href="https://64tarot.com/">now.</a></p><p>Course<a href="https://64tarot.substack.com/p/how-to-read-tarot-introduction-and"> index.</a></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://64tarot.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading 64tarot!

Italy (Milan, Ferrara, Bologna). They were commissioned by noble families.</span></p></li><li><p><span>The Visconti-Sforza deck (c. 1450s) is among the oldest surviving tarot decks. It was made for the Visconti and Sforza families of Milan.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Tarot began as </span><em><span>tarocchi</span></em><span>, a trick-taking card game. This game was similar in spirit to bridge, but was not a fortune-telling tool.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Tarot&#8217;s shift toward mysticism began in 18th-century France. It was led by Antoine Court de G&#233;belin. He claimed (incorrectly) that tarot had ancient Egyptian origins.</span></p></li><li><p><span>The 19th-century occultist &#201;liphas L&#233;vi connected tarot to Kabbalah. This deepened its esoteric reputation.</span></p></li><li><p><span>The Rider-Waite-Smith deck (1909) transformed tarot. It fully illustrated all 78 cards &#8212; including the Minor Arcana &#8212; for the first time. It made intuitive reading possible.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Before </span>Rider-Waite-Smith<span>, Minor Arcana cards were usually simple, unillustrated pip cards. They were like a suit of playing cards.</span></p></li><li><p><span>Today tarot is used worldwide for reflection, coaching, and creative inspiration. It is also widely used for esoteric and divinatory purposes.</span></p></li></ul><p><a href="https://64tarot.substack.com/p/lesson-2-the-major-tarot-decks">Next lesson</a></p><div><hr></div><p>Try a free 64tarot reading <a href="https://64tarot.com/">now.</a></p><p>Course<a href="https://64tarot.substack.com/p/how-to-read-tarot-introduction-and"> index.</a></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://64tarot.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading 64tarot!

We start with eleven foundational lessons. We cover where tarot came from, how the deck is structured, and how to ask a question. </p><p>From there, we move card by card through the entire deck. First, the Major Arcana, then Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles. Each lesson gives us key facts. The card lessons have a quick self-test to check what stuck, and a journal prompt to take it deeper. No prior tarot knowledge is required. There is no memorization pressure. However, with one lesson a day, we build steadily until we know tarot thoroughly</p><p>As each lesson is published, it will be linked here. </p><div><hr></div><h2><span>Intro Module (Lessons 1&#8211;11)</span></h2><h3><span>Core Teaching</span></h3><ul><li><p><a href="https://64tarot.substack.com/p/lesson-1-a-brief-history-of-tarot"><span>Lesson 1 -
