There is no evidence that tarot was an ancient spellbook. There is actually no evidence that tarot is even ancient. Tarot was originally a card game that was turned into a divination practice with the creation of a separate deck for fortunetelling. That doesn’t mean that you can’t use tarot in your spellwork, though. Many spells exist here at Spells8 and around the web that utilize the cards. The cards can symbolize concepts in your spell, represent a person or thing, or act as an energetic connection for your spell. Here are a few examples: > **[Blue Moon Ritual & Spell](https://spells8.com/blue-moon-ritual-spell/)** > > When a Full Moon happens twice in a calendar month, the second one is called a Blue Moon.
