Welcome to my website. May the Tarot wheel turn in the right direction for you. Thank you for joining me on my journey through the history of the Tarot and the structure of the Tarot deck. In these pages you will learn about your soul's journey from birth to eternity. You can read my pages sequentially, like a book, or jump directly to the topics that interest you most. Don't hesitate to follow the links to other interesting sites and photos of historical decks.
Above you can see two different layouts of the Tarot Trump cards. The first one I call the Trionfi Wheel, because it is based on the inner structure of the Trionfi trump cards of the Renaissance. The structure is based on three groups of seven cards with the World card in the middle. Both the Three and the Seven are very important numbers related to spirituality and religion. They are arranged in the form of a wheel to emphasise the cyclical nature of human life. Sometime in the 16th century, the order of the trump cards changed, as did the name, which evolved from Trionfi to Tarot. This second structure is called the Tarot Wheel, where the cards are arranged in seven groups of three, with the World card again in the centre. All these topics are explained in detail in the following pages of this website.
