      Tarot - Maya Cointreau

      Foreword

      Tarot was revealed to me on a dark winter evening by candle and firelight. I was ten years old, and a friend was sleeping over. We were supposed to be playing upstairs, allowing the grownups to talk and enjoy their evening. But we heard the laughter and fun taking place downstairs, and so we crept down for some cookies and milk, hoping to have a few moments of fun with Elise. My mother’s artsy friend from New York, had just finished doing a reading and was putting the cards away when we asked what she was doing, if we could see the cards.

      And so the lesson began.

      Elise wouldn’t even let us touch the cards until she had taught us to visualize ourselves inside a protective barrier of light. The next hour began my introduction to the tarot, to mysteries of intuition and divination, and ultimately led to the awakening of my young soul. My mother took me to buy my first deck

      shortly after, and I haven’t been far from one ever since.

      I’ve given readings with 1 card or 30. In nightclubs with lines out the door, and in the quiet of my own home. To me, tarot is simply a way to connect with my higher self, with my spirit guides and higher powers for guidance and sometimes reassurance. Used properly, tarot can help illuminate the unknown, and show which fork in the road to travel.

      This book is intended to open the door to your own unfolding. It will introduce you to the basic, universal meanings assigned to the majority of tarot decks. Some of the layouts in here are well-known, used by many people, and several are of my own design.

      You will find that the more you practice, the more cards will take on their own meanings for you. My mother, my friend and I all learned tarot the same night – but we each often have a different take on the same card. That’s where your intuition comes in.

      Remember that tarot is simply a tool. Use it for the highest good of all involved, and it can do wonderful things.

      In Love & Light, Maya Cointreau

      A Brief History

      of the Tarot

      Tarot, as we know it today, varies little from the card decks used in the 1400s throughout Europe to play a game called Triumph. This game was much like Bridge and called Tarrochi (Italian) or Tarot (French). There
