Tarot is a system of divination, using a specific set of cards (Tarot cards), while Cartomancy is a more generic term meaning any divination method using cards, whether special ones designed for divination (be they Tarot cards or any other sort) or just playing cards.

Taromancy is another term used for tarot card reading. It is a branch of Cartomancy, which is the ability to foretell the future with playing cards.

Tarot card reading originated in the 15th century in Europe. The deck of tarot cards were originally made and invented for the purpose of entertainment and amusement for the early people. They play card games such as French Tarot and Italian Tarocchini with the deck.
