Discover the true, fascinating history of the tarot, stripping away the velvet curtain of modern myths to reveal its actual origins as a 15th-century Italian parlour game. In this episode, we trace the cards' evolution through the centuries, exploring how religious tensions, Enlightenment-era pseudo-history, and Victorian secret societies transformed them from aristocratic playthings into the ultimate esoteric tool. We will debunk enduring legends of ancient Egyptian and Romani origins, uncover the forgotten artists and eccentric occultists who shaped the modern decks, and examine the peculiar folklore and psychological magic that still dictate how we handle these cards today. Join us for a deep dive into the hidden truths, satirical quirks, and magical thinking behind the world's most famous Pasteboard Sphinx.
