There are few subjects known to Man about which more misleading or false information has been published than the history of tarot cards. Why? The answers are simple: 1. Tarot cards today are associated with fortune-telling and "the occult." Serious historians, generally speaking, have no desire to be associated with such subjects. 2. The absence of serious inquiries has created a vacuum that has been willingly filled by individuals who approach the subject with something less than scholarly rigor. 3. Tarot cards, as a "product of mystery and the unknown," have been perceived to have benefited by allusions to "a secret past, shrouded in mystery" - at least, by some individuals who have been involved in marketing tarot cards. 4. Misinformation about tarot cards has existed for quite some time. Thus, many old (and presumed reliable) works are quoted by newer works, and the misinformation is passed down from one generation to the next.
