My mother reads tarot cards, actually, but I won't let her read mine.

Sam Taylor-Johnson

The true Tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language and offers no other signs.

A. E. Waite

We have now seen that there is no particle of evidence for the Egyptian origin of Tarot cards.

A. E. Waite

The tarot is sacred.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

Actually, I believe in everything, including astrology and tarot cards. All of it is just another way for people to try and tighten the link to the spirits in our universe. I believe it exists for all people.

Billy Dee Williams

Tarot cards likely originated in northern Italy during the late 14th or early 15th century. The oldest surviving set, known as the Visconti-Sforza deck, was created for the Duke of Milan's family around 1440. The cards were used to play a bridge-like game known as tarocchi, popular at the time among nobles and other leisure lovers.

According to tarot historian Gertrude Moakley, the cards' fanciful images - from the Fool to Death - were inspired by the costumed figures who participated in carnival parades.

Mystical groups such as the Theosophical Society and the Rosicrucians turned tarot into an American fad during the early 1900s. Many American tarot practitioners use a set of cards known as the Waite-Smith deck, created in 1909 by A.E. Waite, a British member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and the artist Pamela Colman Smith.

I remember my mother had this deck of cards that her mother had given her and that she passed on to me. It was a gypsy tarot deck that I used to carry everywhere.

Tarots tell different sides of the various personalities that exist in all of us. I find it fascinating how they combine names, images, and numbers. You don't need to be able to read them, or know their real meaning, to be charmed.

Domenico Dolce

Tarot is just stories on cards.

Erin Morgenstern

I looked up the Queen of Swords and I read the meaning. It was a tarot card. The description of the tarot card sounded to me like the description of a certain type of woman: She's strong, she's proud, she's intelligent and all these different things. I was like, that's how I want to be.

Fallon Fox

I can do Tarot cards and all that.

Gemma Collins

My dream show is to have this haunted house and get some celebrities in there and then I can do their Tarot cards and speak to the dead with them.

Gemma Collins

You know, it was just another presentation of my work, and a funny one, because the cards are quite different from the normal Tarot deck, no?

H. R. Giger

I have my cards read every time I pass a tarot-reader booth. I would be so embarrassed to have one of those 900 numbers appear on my phone bill, because I don't know how I would explain it to my business manager. It would almost be like saying, 'Okay, I'm white trash.'

Jennifer Tilly

I have friends who practice witchcraft, and I study tarot myself. I guess, to be specific, I don't want to believe in a world without magic.

Kate Leth

Even though I'm super into tarot and astrology, I don't believe in knowing too much about the future.

Kate Nash

My background is standard American blue collar of the itchy-footed variety. We're new-world mongrels. The women in the family read horoscopes, tea leaves, coffee bubbles, Tarot cards and palms.

Katherine Dunn

The thing about tarot - maybe this to me is the difference between it and working with a psychic - to me it's clarifying the things that you already know. I don't feel like any tarot reading I've done or received was particularly surprising. They always speak to things that you kind of felt already.

KiKi Layne

I was brought up with psychics and tarot cards. My mum was always told I was going to be in a boy band and be famous as a singer.
