The people who wrestle in the world of Tarot secretly as if embracing the notion that negative and never intends to correct. As one of the "practitioners" in the world of Tarot, I felt it was time to reveal the controversy about the prediction card; about what exactly Tarot cards, of which the origin of Tarot cards and world why forecaster predicted by Tarot Card media can evolve into something scary, even hated by some people.
Tarot games are most popular today is the version of the Rider-Waite Tarot-Smith.

The fourth group consists Minor Arkana cards from ace 20-10, and the Kingdom of cards; the difference Joker (also known as Page or Knave) into a part. Jack (Knight / Knight), Queen and King. The number of cards in each group is 14. Tarot card itself comes from Italy and was originally a game with the medium of Tarot cards is called da Trionfi Carde, or triumph cards. Historical evidence in the form of documents copied at the Century 1442-1463 mentions that the type of game with the medium is called Trionfi Tarot Cards. It was only after the influence of the French, the name changed to Trionfi Tarrochi.
Tarot Cards predicted popularity stems from Antoine Court de Gebelin published a book in 1781, which revealed that the Ancient Egyptian priests had been painted on Book of Thoth Tarot Cards. They then bring those images to Rome to be presented to the pope, who subsequently introduced the Tarot up to Avignon, France, in the 14th century. However, Court de Gebelin explanation is considered inaccurate because it is not supported by historical evidence and written before Champollion succeeded in translating the language of Ancient Egypt, Hieroglyphics (hieroglyph).
The Catholic Church and local governments in Europe are not always banned the game Tarot. In some areas of its citizens even allowed to play the Tarot, although other similar card games is clearly prohibited. However, the "exclusive right" of the Tarot cards did not last long. At the end of the 14th century, a speaker from Switzerland, Johannes von Rheinfelden, suddenly attacked the gambling and various card games, including Tarot cards. The prohibition is then poured in tractus de moribus et disciplina conversationis Humanae, which was published in 1370 (some experts claim the year 1377).
As a result of this statement, John I of Castile, as well as the Florentine government and Bazel simultaneously issued a ban on playing cards. Some places such as Regensburg and the Duchy of Brabant was issued a similar ban in 1379. Bernard Siena speaker even said that the card game is the result of Satan's creation.
Tarot-tarot oldest currently made in the early to mid-15th century. There are three sets of Tarot cards all of which are owned by the Visconti family - the most powerful family in Milan at the time. The cards are most likely a fruit paintings from artist named Bonifacio Bembo and miniature painters of Ferrara. Goal the creation of the cards was to celebrate the marriage of Visconti, the Sforza family. Until now, there are 35 cards that are stored in the Pierpont Morgan Library; 26 other cards in the Accademia Carrara; 13 cards at Casa Calleoni, while four other cards (Devil, Tower, Three Swords, and the Knight of Coins) can not be found or even may not ever made. Set of cards "Visconti-Sforza" This has been widely reproduced. In a set of cards, the Minor Arcana (cards Sword, Stick, Coins, and the Grail) and the Major Arcana are combined to reflect conventional iconography at the time.Illustrations and interpretations developed in line with the Tarot.
Tarot illustrations often formed to serve the mystical views and needs of its users. For example, an artist named Pamela Colman Smith painted a set of paintings Major Arcana, which is based on the interpretation of Arthur Edward Waite. Their work was later published by a printing company, Rider Company, and has become a set of Tarot cards are most popular in modern civilization. Set this card also known as Rider-Waite Tarot-Smith; and to facilitate understanding of this set of cards, Waite published Tarotnya interpretation guide, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot (1910).
From the brief description above, little is revealed why the Tarot can easily be conditioned into a controversy; apart because its existence is strongly influenced by the power of the kingdom, Tarot card game also can not be separated from the influences of faith beliefs of mankind, the mysterious origins of the history of the card game , and various occult and mystical attached to it.
The view is quite revolutionary to the game of Tarot Cards revealed by Joan Bunning Learning Tarot Gratis on its website. According to him, Tarot is a symbol actually touch the human subconscious, which in psychological theory can be equalized or nearly similar to the shape of Rorschach inkblot test.
Sigmun famed psychologist Freud even been also discussed in the theory of the unconscious was that the symbols in the Tarot cards that are then gave suggestions to the human (read: practitioner tarot.red) to answer questions or give advice in resolving the problem to the second come "consult"; until I wonder if the impression that came to us about the Tarot Cards is a game of divination to predict, where as if the practitioner has to know the answer Tarot Cards in advance even before the birth of an incident / event.
Scientifically, of course it is very difficult to be accepted by some parties. The theory of "the unconscious"-style Tarot Card are even considered to be quite contrary to the Western world - that emphasizes the logic / logical thinking, science, and technology of the modern world, or even the East - which many still believe in the existence of some supernatural powers , occult, mystical, eksklusifisme and tend to be more religious. Controversy about the "theory of the unconscious" is simply because it is so difficult and very vague to be described in logic.

However, the author forecasts, Between Scientific and Religious Perspectives, A. Luluk Widyawan, Pr explained that the lessons resulting from the encounter between the world of divination to predict, astrology, horoscopes, and human faith in the past is something that does not need dipertentangan. In other words, there are differences in the perspective of scientific and religious perspective is not something that needs to be disputed. A similar situation exists also in cases where religion and science meet at one point of intersection when mengemukanya new theories, such as the Theory of Evolution, Quantum Reality, or even Genome Theory. Because basically, science and religion are two different perspectives in explaining the secrets of nature, including the world and life.
Budi Hardiman in a seminar, The Future of Religion-Science Dialogue, at the University of Paramadina, Jakarta in mid December last year, said that in a scientific perspective, nature is seen as an objective world. All the facts are subject to "natural law". Based on this perspective, humans make predictions about natural events and technical manipulation of nature. However, humans do not merely see nature only as a collection of facts, but also as an internalized world.
As for the religious perspective, according to Budi, to see nature in relation to the existential reality and appreciation. Not just as a factual truth, but rather as a transcendental truth. Of course each of these perspectives has its own truth, but at some stage, the two perspectives are interrelated, equally important, and meaningful.
Next Budi take the example of the tsunami disaster. From a scientific perspective, disasters are events in the objective world which can be calculated in the geology. On the other hand, interpret the religious perspective of the tsunami disaster in existential and transcendental as the encounter of the things that transcend human rationality. The difference between these two perspectives to show that science does not question the truth of existential and transcendental; as well as religion does not pretend to be in charge of science provides an explanation of the factual truth.
There is also another opinion, expressed by Hamid Parsania, Rector Baghir Al-Uloom University, Tehran. He said that in its development, science - especially in the 19th century - understood as a tangible knowledge (sensory) and factual (provable).
Science can be understood as something that tried to explain the universe and in its development also required to teach the values to the community. The development of theories in science have also led to the experts who argue that science is not separated from other sources.
One thing that should be believed is that science is also like a knife, were hanging from the corner where we could believe it as something that is useful or not. We certainly need a knife to facilitate the work we are peeling the onion, sliced bread, or just sharpening his pencil; but we will keep knives out of reach of children because it can make it hurt. With all the controversy, the game with medium Tarot Card are also a part of a science that continues to evolve in line with the times.
