"Who here has had an experience with a Tarot reading? Was it a good or bad experience? I’m just started my journey with reading the Tarot and found it truly amazing. Good to hear your thoughts Cheeky xx" I have been reading cards etc for many years, I was brought up with them as my parents used to (I am also pagan). I currently have about 25 different decks but always use the Robin Wood deck. I inherited both parents sets of cards. Feel free to message if you need anything. Sometimes someone goes through several different decks before settling on one. | |||

"Tarot cards as far as I'm concerned and in my experience are a great tool for concentrating on matters that are in your mind and giving you different ways of thinking about them more deeply. The cannot predict your future but they can make you consider your past and present in a way that might help you change how your future works out. What you see in Tarot cards comes from within yourself." I pretty agree with this | |||

"I've had a few readings and most have been very accurate so far regarding things that have happened. Had one recently and it was more about my future, so I'm a bit sceptical. They have helped me refocus on my life especially work. " It’s exactly that. My experience it is it all about refocusing. I believe the energies are there to guide us on our journey thru life. | |||

"Genuinely curious with having your cards read as what it means. I don't understand why you would have your cards read to be told about your life now, as you already know it, but are they ment to read into the future too? Would you to know that?" The way I see it they can give you a snapshot of your life now and maybe help you look at it in ways you haven't. Plus they can show what contributed to your current situation and advice regarding it. The future (to me) depends on the person, and what advice, guidance and choices they make. I don't feel that I could use the cards to try and tell the future, plus it doesn't feel ethical to me to try to use them like that. Each person probably has their own way and ethics, plus I am relatively new to reading cards so my use can only apply to how I feel and read. | |||

"I do have a set, but I haven't touched them for over 30 years. I've always been an evidence-based thinker, and I used them not a tool for divination (which I don't believe in at all) but as more of a "these are other possibilities that need consideration". I since developed my own critical thinking over the years and eventually found I did not need the cards anymore. I also got fed up with being asked to "read someone's future" once word got out I used them. A friend does use them as part of their mentalism act. They are very clear with folks that they are an entertainer, and a magician. They're also a mentalist and cold-reader. Yet folks do believe they have a "gift". My friend credits their success with the cards because they are skilled in reading and leading people, able to interpret and present information quickly on the fly, and persuasive and genuine in their act. The biggest factor though according to my friend, is that people want to believe, and that makes my friends life a lot easier. What really gets my friend's goat is when it's presented as real truth and my friend does seek out and expose some charlatans who fleece others for gain. Personally, to me they are a tool for considering possibilities you may have not thought of previously. " I agree with much of what you've said. Tarot cards are a tool to help you, they can't predict your future, they can't know your past or present, they're not sentient. They can give you focus as I said above and help you consider things in ways you previously might not have done. I studied tarot in a small group with a teacher and it became clear to me then that people will fit what you say to their circumstances and ignore huge inaccuracies or pass them off with an excuse. I do believe that there are very rare people who have abilities we don't yet understand but they aren't on the telly or doing the end of the pier stint in a tent. | |||

" I do believe that there are very rare people who have abilities we don't yet understand but they aren't on the telly or doing the end of the pier stint in a tent." I believe that with practice and training, one can develop one's powers of observation, intuition and human psychology to a sufficient enough degree that to the average lay person, said powers would appear "miraculous" and perhaps derived from "a higher power". Coupled with a "tool of divination" enshrouded in myth and legend in public consciousness, and it's not difficult to present a compelling performance that those who want to believe will readily accept. People will always fit something to their own narrative, because humans are pattern-seeking and matching creatures. We evolved as such as part of our environment and it's an ingrained survival technique. We seek order in chaos. We seek rationale in an absurd universe. Why ? Because accepting that the universe is cold, uncaring and neutral is frankly terrifying for some. Thank you for a very thought-provoking discussion. | |||

About 25 years a woman that worked for my mum went and some sort of reading and was told her new husband wouldn't be with her for long. She was devastated as she thought he was going to have an affair. A month 6 weeks later he was killed in an industrial accident. What made it worse for her was for most of that time she had been treating him as if he was having an affair, so wasted that time together. | |||
