Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[1]
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]
Divination usage
Often used to represent a young person. Can mean a changing of your line of work and/or taking on more responsibility. But primarily, this is the card for students.
