 Lots of people misunderstand what tarot cards are, i want to help make people not be so ignorant about this topic. Some like to claim they are evil, some like to claim they do this or that, and some claim they are for this or that. But what are they really for? What do they really mean? Are they evil? How can a deck of cards be evil? (Spoiler: they aren't evil) The tarot is a pack of playing cards, used from at least the mid-15th century in various parts of Europe to play card games such as Tarocchini. Tarocchini are point trick-taking tarot card games popular in Bologna, capital city of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy and has been confined mostly to this area.

  To help stop misinformation I wanted to add more to this topic. Too many people don't know what tarot cards are and don't know were they came from or how it started... Playing cards first entered Europe in the late 14th century, but the origin is unknown. The first records date to 1367 in Berne and they appear to have spread very rapidly across the whole of Europe, as may be seen from the records, mainly of card games being banned. Little is known about the appearance and number of these cards; the only significant information being provided by a text by John of Rheinfelden in 1377 from Freiburg im Breisgau, who, in addition to other versions describes the basic pack as containing the still-current 4 suits of 13 cards, the courts usually being the King, Ober and Unter ("marshals"), although Dames and Queens were already known by then.
