OMG! MY HEART MELTS FOR HELLO KITTY! WHY ARE ALL THE COOL STUFF NEVER FOUND IN MY COUNTRY? WHERE CAN I FIND THIS DECK IN SOUTH AFRICA? I DESPERATELY NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I like the concept of a Hello Kitty Tarot deck, I have some thoughts on the adverse stereotypes about Tarot which have been created by the new age publshing establishemnt. The tarot card readings should in no way be considered authentic tarot. Contrary to what occultists would have us believe, tarot is NOT an "ancient mystic art." Contrary to what tickle.com would have us believe, tarot does NOT come from Egypt. The genuine tarot is a trick-taking card game similar to sheepshead, spades, and euchre.  The tarot deck was created in northern Italy in the 15th century only for playing card games. The tarot card games are still being played today in countries such as France, Austria, and Italy. We Americans have been kept in the dark about it by the occult publishers. Fortune telling with tarot only began to appear in the 18th century.  Fortune telling with tarot cards is actually a distortion of the tarot's true heritage. The occult/new age movement have deluded most of the world into thinking of tarot as only a fortune telling device.
The new age publishing establishment is doing the general public a disservice by continuing the occult misrepresentation of this gaming artifact. We should educate people about culture instead of distorting it.
These occult stereotypes belong to the hippie generation. I offer a new and more authentic vision of tarot for the 21st century. Do a google search on "jeu de tarot" or "tarock" and discover some fun card games that are currently played in Europe with tarot decks. I should mention these tarot decks are more modern looking than the fortune telling ones. These newer decks have hearts, spades, clubs, and diamonds and the trump pictures have different and more cheerful subjects than fortune telling decks. Go to Google images, and search "jeu de tarot" or "tarock" to see these very different tarot cards. They are quite beautiful! I can also see a Hello Kitty theme worked into these other tarot decks.

hello kitty tarot cards rule!!! I want a set :P

I found a deck of hello kitty tarot cards on Etsy. I just got them today. They are not quite what i expected (they are self-published , I guess??). They are a little smaller than usual cards, but I am smitten. They are soooooo cute. i got mine at House of Lucky, here's the link
