The origins of the cabalistic tarot are somewhat disputed, but it is generally believed to have originated in the 18th or 19th century as an interpretation of the tarot that incorporated elements of the Kabbalah, a system of Jewish mysticism. The cabalistic tarot is typically used for meditation, spiritual growth, and self-improvement, and is believed to offer insight into the hidden aspects of the self and the universe. The cabalistic tarot often includes additional symbolism and correspondences beyond those found in traditional tarot decks, drawing on the teachings of the Kabbalah.Â
