Artist and designer Amrit Brar discusses the symbology and evolution of tarot, its use as a mindfulness and meditative practice, and how to transform its icons into something new.

Tarot, at its core, is a card game, whether it is used for playing, cartomancy (a form of card-based fortune telling), or simply collected and displayed for its art.

Today, the cards are used in a wide range of applications, from divination to mindfulness practices.

Tarot is hugely popular and has remained so throughout the centuries.
