From The Penguin Encyclopedia of Card Games, by David Parlett "People are often surprised to learn that Tarot cards were originally invented for playing games, that such games are still widespread and popular in continental Europe, and that the employment of tarots for divination and fortune-telling is a relatively recent perversion of their proper use, dating only from the eighteenth century." Instead of psychic spam disguised as "news" the media should tell the truth about tarot. Tarot was made for card games!

Someone should tell the media that tarot reading is not the only way to "dabble in tarot cards" More people should be aware that tarot reading is not the only purpose of tarot cards. Tarot reading is not even the original purpose of tarot cards. The tarot was originally made for playing a type of card game similar to spades and there are people today espeically in European countries who play card games with tarot. The internet is starting to bring tarot games to more Americans so our media should be more up to date to reflect this understanding of tarot cards.

It would be a good thing if the media told the whole truth about tarot cards, how they were originally made for card games which are still played today in continental Europe. Contrary to what these biased pro-paranormal media reports would have us believe, psychics and mediums aren't the only ones who use tarot cards. Game players also use tarot cards to play tarot card games. People are sick of hearing about how psychics use tarot cards. Why don't you do a story on how some Americans are now starting to learn to play real card games with tarot cards? It would be a breath of fresh air.
