Warburg Institute Hosts Tarot Exhibition Examining Cultural Legacy

The ongoing interest in tarot is reflected in both a new exhibition at the Warburg Institute in London and various tarot readings. The exhibition, titled 'Tarot: Origins & Afterlives,' explores the historical development of tarot cards from their origins in 15th-century Italy to their later associations with divination and the occult, highlighting the contributions of figures like Antoine Court de Gébelin and John-Baptiste Alliette. Meanwhile, tarot readings emphasize themes of generosity, balance, and the importance of taking time for reflection and rest. The Six of Pentacles encourages kindness and gratitude, while the Knight of Disks advises a pause for grounding. Additionally, the Three of Cups card speaks to the abundance that can flow from heartfelt actions. These diverse interpretations showcase the continuing relevance of tarot in contemporary spirituality and personal reflection.
