This week’s talk: Tarot: History and Symbolism
Description: The history of tarot is shrouded in mystery. It originates from the tradition of playing cards. Originally, the cards were handmade and colored until the advent of the printing press. This talk will be given by Director of Special Collections Juanita Murray, and will introduce the historical background of tarot and the symbolism in the cards, including: religion, astrology, alchemy, numerology, and the Kabbalah.
