www.tarotforum.net

These are the forums for the Aeclectic Tarot web site. Although the focus is on the occult tarot and fortune telling, there is a history section frequented by a few very knowledgeable people. Consequently, there are many posts here that include some new finding on the history of the cards and the games that have helped inform this text. Sadly, the Historical Research section was closed for new posts for a period of about three months (The reasons for this are unclear) and as a consequence, it has largely fallen out of use.


The Tarot History Forum

Many of the historians that have frequented the Aeclectic forums in the past can be found here, where there is much more activity and a good standard of debate.
