The Tarot

The Tarot Experiment

This experiment is to investigate the symbolism found in the Tarot cards. There are many versions of the Tarot, most of which consist of 78 cards. The cards are often used for 'fortune telling' or divination. However, the Tarot can also be interpreted as symbolising a spiritual journey.

The experiment below invites you to view some Tarot cards and then answer a series of questions. When enough responses have been received I will publish the results and explain the aim of the experiment here. It is important that you do not refer to any information about the Tarot before, or whilst answering, these questions.

Please note: the results will be published in a generalised form with no links to any personal information.
