L'origine delle carte non è nota; ma secondo alcuni lo stesso Ermete Trismegistro le ispirò ai saggi che le disegnarono, mentre secondo altri esse racchiudono, nei loro simboli, il libro della conoscenza dei sacerdoti dell'antico Egitto. I tarocchi, così come sono conosciuti nella forma odierna, risalgono al 1600 circa e consistono in 78 carte divise in due gruppi: 22 carte definite Arcani Maggiori e 56 dette Arcani Minori, divise in quattro serie di "semi" o "colori" diversi. Un posto particolare occupano i Tarocchi di Aleister Crowley, mago e occultista inglese. Le carte da lui ideate, sono frutto di sue visioni particolari.
Dreamer: Last question: What about the life after death? Warden: Death is completely irrelevant. It only concerns the ego and the ego is only a little feather on the wing of the great eagle and if it falls out, another one grows to replace it already, and the whole procedure has hardly any influence on the flight. Dreamer: What is left from our dreams? Warden: They flow back into the eye of eternity, when the last individual awakens at the end of the journey and interrupts the chain. Then, namely if the matured soul leaves the protecting shell of the ego begins to flow apart together with the divine forces of creation, which resemble the primal sources and is only but a glance in the eye of eternity for mankind. Dreamer: Therefore the human being has no true freedom? Warden: It possesses much more: The illusion of its own world. he doesn`t know that what he intends to do is in accordance with that what he will actually do in the end anyway. Dreamer: And where are we going on this journey? Warden: In all directions simultaneously. The sum of all saved experiences and memories is the driving force of fate, shich is chasing everything and keeping it in motion or - the other way around: the „future“ memory is that what is operationg in the presence and is forming the past, in order to make the human individual „intend“ the correct time-sphere of here and now.
