I personally believe that the symbolic system, which is described in the tarot system, was started through knowledge, which a pharaoh prince named Khaemwese had or gained from your ancestors.
To be even more precise, he was the fourth son of Ramses II (also known as Ramses the Great), because Ramses II grew so old and hereby ruled for so long that he outlived some of his sons. It is well known that Ramesse, II’s favorite son, was Khaemwese, whom he praised with many titles. For me personally, that relationship looks a lot like the Dozer and Imoteps relationship, which may surprise me of their similarity. Khaemwese would be noticed through all his many talents, just as Imoteps did 1000 years before the time of Khaemwese. Archaeologists believe that Khaemwese was born when Ramses was still young, even before he was crowned. His mother is said to be Queen Istnofred (Isisnofret). Ramses, the second most famous wife was Nefertari, but his second wife, Queen Istnofred (Isisnofret), was probably as great an influence as Nefertari. She would be the queen who gave her king the best sons / men of her time, namely Merenptah and Khaemwese. Merenptah would be the successor of Ramses II and Khaemwese to this day would capture the attention of the listener.
Khaemwese was said to be very intelligent and had a very deep love for his ancestral ancestors. But this was just one of the many talents this person seemed to have. In an ancient text, he earned a reputation that still escapes the public today. He became the favorite son of Ramses II, although he was not a war hero like his father. Khaemwese was the greatest wizard of his time and a scholar, remembered for thousands of years after his death. I would call him ‘the Imoteph’ of his day, which I think can still be seen. And when his grave is found as Imoteph’s grave, wonders will be revealed: it could be that their graves are empty, like some others … An inscription of him can be found in the Serapaeum at Saqqara, where he claims he was at an age very early when he joined the priesthood of Ptah, thus dedicating his life to the knowledge of Ptah. Ptah was a god, the godfather of the Memphis Triad, his wife was Sekhmet and his son was Nefertem. But Ptah was a kind of description of the priests who was dedicated to the ‘knowledge of the truth – Matt’ (another form of this could be the later ‘Lovers of wisdom’ – the philosophers Plato Socrates and those people).
The Tarot deck through our history
Some believe that the Tarot deck first appeared between the 16th and 17th centuries, but I personally believe that it was here even before the 13th century. Dear Sir Michael Anthony Eardley Dummett dismisses the idea that the Tarot system arose before the 18th century, but admits that the system was used in other ways.
Personally, I do not believe this, Sir Michael Anthony bases his thoughts on the mere fact that no evidence has been found so ancient, that it predates the seventeenth century. I fully understand why you cannot state any theory, as I can. When a person becomes a scholar / professor and even a gentleman, his statements will be noticed in a whole new light. Many people tend to “believe” what is said without understanding that it is so only on a theoretical level. Usually teachers keep their theories in private hours, I personally think this is sad because their theories are as valuable as their known knowledge. From a theory an idea arises, and from the idea and the theory together can augment a reality (or so I think). As I try to say as often as I can, I really love all universe teachers, but a teacher will always need questions from his students, also the ‘why’. Personally, I think that a teacher is the laziest student in the world, he never ends his terms, because they STAY ahead of their students, so that they can guide them in the best way and with morals (which apparently the world agrees). a total lack of).
Gian Giacomo Girolamo Casanova was born in 1725 in Venice, he was not like the many romantic thoughts that exist about him. Rather he was a man of many scandals, he was accused of raping a girl and had unearthed a recently buried body, just for playing a particle prank (with no respect for those who have passed away).
In July 1755, at the age of thirty, he was arrested and convicted for his interest in magic (witchcraft) by the Inquisitori di Stato in Venice, and imprisoned in “I piombi” (“The Leads”), a famous prison attached to the Doge. palace.
Now I personally think this is where we first see that Casanova had knowledge of tarot cards. It is said that he had a young slave / prostitute / peasant girl named Zaire, this girl would lay a deck and tell people about her fortune: a fortune teller. For your companion in those days doing that with cards is in fact Tarot readings.
Other evidence shows that Sir Michael Anthony Eardley Dummett could be very wrong in his thoughts on the tarot deck.
It is believed that it was in 1499 when France conquered Milan that French and Swiss soldiers were first introduced into the Milan Tarot deck.
You could say that the misconception about fortune teller is, in terms, the understanding of the tool itself. Actually, it is not the ‘tool or object’ that the ancient ‘Heka / Essen’s of Magic’ contains, it will always be the life force itself. The tool that at first were only numbers has been classified over time as “Numerology”. The next tool was the word or letter, which was sometimes combined with the numbers, which would give a more accurate narrative. In the time of the ancient Assyrians and Aztecs, Egyptians and Sumerians, they were all combined into one image.
Around 1465, 50 copper engraved plates / images emerged, which is probably where the Milan tarot deck came from. These copper engravings were not cards, but images that portrayed the god system of cultures and their symbolism.
The earliest known 78-card tarot deck was commonly known as the Visconti-Sforza (Trionfi / Trump) Tarot deck, and this deck of cards came from the ancient ruling houses of Milan and Lombardy. At each level, the information was turned into symbolic meanings, which have their roots in ancient times.
As with many other words, they change over time, through systems (be it school or religion, etc.). Tarot is a modern word, for this type of card reading, Tarok is an older and more northern word. The oldest known word for this conception of symbolism in an image was the word ‘Trionfi’. In a handwritten letter dated 1442, he refers to the word Trionfi.
The original note says:
“MCCCCXLII Maistro Iacomo pentore dito Sagramoro de avere 10 fever per sue merzede de avere cholorido e pento le mug e le spade e li dinari e li bastoni e tute le fegure de 4 para de chartexele da trionffy, e per farle de fora uno de rosse e 3 para de verde, charge of tonditi fati a olio, le quale ave lo nostro Signore per suo uxo; tanssa i prexii per Galiota de l’Asassino chamarlengo de lo prefato Signore de chomissione de lo Signore, in raxone to read zinque per stop ………. L.XX “
Translation:
To the master Jacomo Sagramoro, painter, on April 13, five or 20 marquise lire for two of his commissions, that is, one for the annoyance of having painted the back of a deck of trump cards that Piedro de Schiveto had for the use of what our Lord said, and because of the annoyance of having painted a box with the weapons of said Lord, that Master Nicolo had the crossbows to hold the “vere” (arrows?) when the Lord fired the crossbows, as in the Ussita’s “AA Diary”, at c. 30 … LV
– The painter was paid for having colored the cups, swords, coins and staves and all the figures of 4 packs of triumph cards and for making the backs of a pack of red cards and 3 packs of green, adorned with hand-painted rounds. oil, which our Lord has for your use.
The symbolism of the tarot has changed a lot throughout the century, the symbolic system could also be called alchemy decks. Because the symbolism, which is illustrated in the decks, even today, is the symbolism of 12th century alchemy. Much of the symbolism of alchemy closely resembles the symbolism of a tarot deck, only that it means different things. Personally, I see it as a writing system, much like ancient hieroglyphs.
