The card reader (c. 1508, Lucas van Leyden )

The first forms of cartomancy appeared in the early printing press between 1480 and 1505. However, the suggestions are still very far from the later complex systems and are based on previously known schemes of lottery books. Playful forms with slight divinatory aspects can be proven in the context of the tarot cards in the 16th century. Stronger forms of development become visible in the 18th century. The list by Mary Greer and Lola Lucas gives an overview, but it focuses specifically on tarot cards, which at the end of the 18th century were heavily involved in divisional interests. The names Etteilla and Lenormand , both Paris, are connected with the further development, which shows that card reading was great fashion in France around 1800 and does not stop there before the heads of state Napoleon and his wife Josephine. Etteilla varied the tarot cards with its own cartomancy system, which can perhaps be seen as the original model of further developments, which then also include the relatively popular so-called Lenormand cards (they are not directly related to the card reader, who probably used different systems, including several Games at the same time). It is a 36 card system.

Fortune telling cards are being revised and redesigned today, the tarot genre is particularly rich with a vast amount of literature and countless deck designs and productions. New cartomancy systems are also emerging in accordance with the creativity of modern society.
