Did you know that the first explosion of spirituality beyond the “one world religion” occurred in the 15th century?
That’s right! The invention of the printing press allowed people who could afford to purchase books the ability to read texts and manuscripts that were only available to the affluent. This miraculous invention of the printing press was the beginning of the historical period known as the Renaissance.
Since the Renaissance alternative forms of spirituality have slowly grown. Moreover, during the 1980’s the birth of the New Age movement created a pop culture surge between the arcane sciences and spirituality. Metaphysical bookstores began to open in growing number throughout the world, and for the first time in history interest in the unseen world and psychic phenomena became part of mainstream life and has grown ever since. In the 21st century, we are experiencing a new Renaissance as technology and distribution of information have reached a point that people are questioning what they believed to be true, and are utilizing alternative tools to understand true spirituality.
One of the most popular tools for spiritual self-discovery is the mystical tarot. Many believe that the tarot is only a tool used for predictions, but the tarot is much more than that! If you have a question about anything; the tarot has an answer! You can utilize tarot to ask questions about yourself, get insight into others, ask worldly questions, or simply get additional information about anything.
