Iconography
When I put this page up five years ago, I stated my intention to write a history of each trump card showing its development from the 15th century up to the present time. But someone else did the job for me. Years of procrastination paid off!
I encourage you to hop over to TarotWheel.net and read the beautifully illustrated pages on each trump card. While you’re there, check out the History section. It nicely 
complements the History section of this website.
Tarot images are a collective dream of the European psyche that re-emerges in new clothing century after century. By immersing ourselves in the Northern Italian late Gothic environment where these images first took form, our psyches become infused with a deeper understanding of their archetypal message.
