BTP24: Tarot History Lesson with Robert Place

If you've ever delved into the origins of Tarot, you might have heard all sorts of stories about the Tarot cards coming from the ancient Egyptians or even the depths of Atlantis.

Well, in this podcast, we are setting the record straight with a lesson in the real history of Tarot.

Now, I have to admit, Tarot history is not my strength so I brought on a very special guest who is an artist and author known for his work on Tarot history, symbolism and divination. Not only has he created numerous Tarot decks such as the Tarot of the Sevenfold Mystery, he is a total history buff when it comes to Tarot. My guest is none other than Robert Place.

• The real history of Tarot – and no, it doesn't include ancient Egypt!
• How the Tarot has evolved over the past 600+ years
