The card has been modeled ever since the tarot's inception in the 15th century after the medieval concept of Rota Fortunae, the wheel of the goddess Fortuna . Images generally show a six - or eight - spoked wheel, often attended or crested by an individual (sometimes human; sometimes a Sphinx - like half - human) attired in an Egyptian - style headdress . In some decks, such as the AG Müller, the wheel is also attended by an individual wearing a blindfold; and often there are people sitting or riding on the wheel whilst others are shown falling from it . </P>
