Last week I visited The Morgan Library & Museum to see the splendid Tarot! Renaissance Symbols, Modern Visions exhibit. The exhibit examines the origins of Tarot from its beginnings as a courtly card game of skill to its later use in the occult world. Some of the earliest cards created are on exhibit, and the painting detail and level of craftsmanship is breathtaking. There are also modern tarot cards on display, also gorgeous. This show closes on October 4, so if you haven’t seen it, do hurry. I’ve always been drawn to these images for their graphic beauty and am only just now learning about the meanings, which is daunting, as I don’t have the time for dedicated study. Like many, I have a deck that I’ve never used. 😑
