Tarot Heritage is an English-language educational website/blog focused on tarot history and readings with historical decks, maintained by Sherryl E. Smith. The site is explicitly positioned around appreciating and preserving the heritage of tarot decks from the 15th to the early 19th century. Its coverage includes the birth of tarot in Italy, its spread in France, Tarot de Marseille, Piedmontese tarot, the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, and the development of modern tarot.
The site is mainly organized into sections such as History, Cartomancy, Journey Through the Trumps, and Blog. History presents around 600 years of tarot evolution in timeline form; Cartomancy teaches readers how to read with historical decks, including pips, court cards, trumps, and spreads; the Iconography/Trumps material traces the medieval sources and modern forms of the Major Arcana card by card; and the blog provides reviews and commentary on tarot books, decks, art, astrology, and events.
Based on the crawled content, the website does not show paid courses, a membership paywall, or subscription pricing. Its main articles and resources appear to be free to read. The site offers a WordPress.com subscription feature, allowing users to receive updates by email or through a WordPress account.
Its strengths are its highly focused subject matter and clear historical structure, making it suitable for systematically learning about early tarot and iconography. The author also provides a fair amount of disclosure about her personal background, teachers, and community involvement, which gives it more credibility than a generic occult blog. The downsides are that it is entirely in English, making it less accessible for Chinese users; it is not an interactive course or an online divination tool, so it relies more on self-study; and as a personal site, its academic rigor should still be cross-checked against books, museum resources, and other researchers’ perspectives.
It is a good fit for tarot collectors, readers who want to move beyond modern card-meaning templates, people researching Tarot de Marseille and early Italian decks, and readers interested in religious imagery, medieval allegory, and the history of esotericism. It is less suitable for users who simply want quick card draws, online fortune-telling, or beginner tutorials in Chinese.
Hosting traces suggest the site is related to WordPress.com. In mainland China, access to WordPress.com ecosystem services is often unstable or restricted, so it is best categorized as “partially restricted.” Users who plan to read it regularly may want to prepare a proxy tool or use browser translation to assist with reading.
