it's really interesting to me to think about just how new (relatively speaking) tarot cartomancy actually is. the structure of a tarot deck has been around since the 1400s, but only ever used for card games - it wasn't until 1780 that it started seeing divinatory and mystical use
@starkatt [thinks about people who use computers and other tech for divination despite that modern computer science has only existed for maybe 70 years]
@typhlosion the funny thing is when people say this thinking they're scoring a huge dunk on tarot, and everyone who actually uses it is like :eyeroll: yeah we all know that, so what.
