"Cartomancy, or its similar cousin Taromancy, is quite the delicate study. As was mentioned, it can most commonly be considered reading cards, Taromancy being more specific to the Tarot while basic cartomancy can use any form of cards. Actually, most common is a basic deck of Muggle playing cards. And there's another offshoot that simply uses what are known as oracle decks, which is a bit more, well specific than either divination with playing cards or Tarot cards," she said, moving slightly toward the bookshelf as she spoke. If anyone was curious, she could explain their uses as well, but at a later time.

"For now, let's stick with the basics, though," she continued. "Maybe with the Tarot." And her discussion was turning a bit more casual, it seemed. "Does anyone want to offer a fact or two about the Tarot? Anything about the specific cards in the deck, or whatever else you can think of." Then maybe they could look into the correlation between that deck and the others. It would depend on what she got right now.

ooc: As usual, try to stick with only one fact, etc. per post. Let others get a word in.

Try not to get too into chats as well and things will continue later. With more fun.

Violet was smiling as Professor Bishop began talking to them about Divination. She was very enthused as she was writing down the list on the boar the Professor had written. Violet's eyes widened when Professor Bishop mentioned Tarot cards, she knew about Tarots. She then raised her hand and said brightly,"Tarot cards were used by Mystics and Occultists in an effort at Divination or as a map of mental and spiritual pathways!" Violet smiled brightly at Professor Bishop again.
