<H3>TAROTS AND CARTOMANCY
</H3>
It is generally accepted that between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century the times were propitious for prophets and fortune-tellers, both in France and elsewhere, as the result of political uncertainty and economic crisis. <br>
Although Merlin Cocai (pseudonym of Teofilo Folengo) in his work, the Trios' Chaos for one of 1527, has written in literary form a sort of divinatory reading with the Tarots similar to that currently used, the prophetic use with the cards wasn’t usual during the Renaissance. We know that this reading was practised since the half of the 17th Century in the court of the King Sun and that the first known document with the list of the cards and relative divinatory meanings is due to the city of Bologna dated of the first years of the 18th Century, but it is only in the 19th century that the number of fortune-tellers increased so dramatically - thanks to the astonishing revelations of Court de Gebelin, Etteilla and the occultist brotherhoods.<br>
One of the most celebrated fortune-tellers of the time was Mademoiselle Lenormand, who built up a considerable fortune by paying careful attention to her public image. During her career, M.lle Lenormand's clients included men of such stature as Robespierre, Marat, Danton, Napoleon Bonaparte; she also became the confidant of the Empress Josephine. The "Sibylle des Salons", as she was known, was imitated by scores of fortune-tellers who sought to make a living from their art by declaring themselves to be disciples or even heirs to M.lle Lenormand. Others created new packs of Tarots based on the Egyptian Tarots of Etteilla or the ordinary French playing-cards.<br>
By 1850, fortune-telling with Tarots and other kinds of playing-card had become a popular technique throughout Europe, and in the same period an increased interest in esoteric philosophies provided fresh impetus for the magical arts in general and cartomancy in particular.<br>
The spread of this practice through all social classes was accompanied by a vast industrial production of cards to meet the many needs of customers. At least a hundred new designs of fortune-telling cards appeared during the 19th century, especially in France, Italy and Germany. Most of them however had little to do with the Tarots, but derived from books on the interpretation of dreams and the so-called "Cabala del Lotto".<br>
It might be argued that this fashion has never declined, except in times of war. Today, sociologists investigate the causes of what they perceive as a return to the irrationality of the past, while it would be more pertinent to read this apparent "irrationality" as an expression of the constant desire in western history for "higher" certainties. Moreover, there is an important artistic element to be taken into consideration. Highly-skilled painters and graphic artists have devoted their attention to designing fortune-telling cards: their work is not only witness to their personal creativity, but also to the collective sensibility and taste of the periods in which they lived.<br>
<P>6 TAROTS AND CARTOMANCY<BR>The following books and prints regard the
divinatory arts and introduce, by means of explanatory panels, the art of
