What are the real origins of the Tarot? Did they merely arise out of the imaginations of some Renaissance philosophers or did they spread around the world in the hands of the gypsies? Or, as some mystics assert, did they arise out of Egypt, a remnant of an ancient civilization, bringing with it their lost knowledge?
