Though it seems now that almost every book denies
that the Gypsies were the origin and source of Tarot,
I am beginning to believe that~they alone created it.
The smug dismissal of such a rich possibility is clear
in a much vaunted Tarot History Information Sheet:
There is no evidence that the Rom (gypsies)
used tarot cards until the 20th century.
Excuse me? That's like saying American Blacks
copied their Rock'n'Roll from Elvis Presley!
So... Who's for giving "the Gypsies" their due?
