Hi my name is Janet, and  I own Mr Koolz.

I have been reading Tarot Cards since 1974.

Tarot

“Tarot” refers to a family of games played with an augmented deck, (that is, decks with a fifth “suit” serving as permanent trumps), and also to the decks themselves. Most other card games using trumps select one of four regular suits to serve as trumps for a particular hand. Tarot is commonly played in various areas of Europe, and has been played in Italy since the 1440s. Outside Europe, there has been a revival of interest in Tarot card games especially amongst participants in Medieval and Renaissance re-enactments. “Tarot” also refers to similar decks that are used for fortune-telling and other esoteric purposes. In English-speaking countries, despite a slow but growing interest in Tarot’s gaming heritage.
Tarot cards show the major themes of life, and what we can learn about ourselves. Each card is called Arcanum, which means ‘mystery’. The pack consists of two quite different, though not totally unrelated, groups of cards, totalling 78 in number. In addition to 22 major cards known as the Major Arcana, there are four suits of cards -The Suit of Cups (symbolizing water), The Suit of Wands (symbolizing fire), The Suit of Swords (symbolizing air ) & The Suit of Pentacles (symbolizing earth) — which form the Minor Arcana.
