I don't believe in that sort of thing myself. Honestly... I think it's a load of mumbo jumbo!

But, is it just a bit of harmless fun or, do you take it a bit more seriously?

Is it something more sinister, con merchants praying on the vulnerable, taking people's money and fucking with their heads?

Does it bring comfort or cause more harm than good?

Should it all be banned and the people claiming to have these powers be exposed and ridiculed?

Here and there but more here than there

To be honest, the main aim of every single merchants is to take money of people and to some extent they are also fucking with heads too. (Selling you stuffs that you don't need)

A lot of practitioners sincerely believe in what they do too though.

I believed it all when I was younger but am a total skeptic now. Potentially it can be far from harmless but then so can many things. I don't see a need to ban it.

Massive skeptic. However i went to the palm reader in blackpool and left feeling amazed. I have since realised it was just a lot of generalised statements but I did get a bit caught up in it for a moment.

Is there a portion of society that does need it though?

As it's only potentially harmful and may do good for others, even though most people know or believe it to be a con, we should let the practice exist legally!

I have done Tarot cards most of my life personally and professionally, and have helped many people including myself. I gave up doing Tarot professionally when the company I worked for wanted me to make up things to make the readings longer and more dramatic, not for me I am afraid. They are a tool to tap into the subconscious mind, but can used for other purposes too.

Hiding in the shadows

I had my palm read 25yrs ago by a gypsy lady 25yrs ago, I bumped into at a market.

She told me things, very specific & personal in detail, that she could never have possibly guessed.

She also gave me a list of dates, on which life changing events would occur.

So far 15 have!

Do I believe, yes.

But then my great Nana was Romany, and had the same skills.

I went to a clairvoyant when I was 21, and without knowing anything about me (not even my name) she told me personal things she couldn't have picked up on or guessed. Correctly predicted major life events, and scared the hell out of me by suddenly giving me a message of apology from my dead nan, who I hadn't seen since I was 7 due to a family fall out.

Did the same for my friend who was the polar opposite of me in character. Some people definitely have 'the gift'.

So when you watch someone like Derren Brown perform the same mind reading techniques and make predictions and explain how it's done and exposing the trickery...it doesn't make you question the people that market themselves as having special powers possibly using the same technique as Derren Brown?

If you you at trade description of good they are illegal

Anecdotal stories from people of how they knew they had lost a close family member etc are not worth Jack. It's not evidence.

original clarvoyants should never accept money. It were always done with either a gift. I.e a oack of biscuits etc in ireland. In the old days, there are a lot of fakes

I wastched that and it was amazing when he got the 100 people he knew nothing about not even names amd either 93 or 97 of them said "thats me exactly" its such a scam, i went on a date with a woman who said she had "the gift" and tried to say to me the fact that my drivers seat rear window fogged up because "a someone called danial is sitting there and he really cares about you"....literally no man in my family is called dan so i just laughed

Nothing is unique in the world, it's just a series of re-occuring events and patterns through out life. A student of this can easily tie a few of those patterns together and impress a person wanting to believe.

Statements like "there are a lot of fakes" suggest a belief that there are genuine people with a gift. I find this hard to believe.

If it gives some people hope or helps them cope with a difficult period of life they've been though, is it a bad thing?

But it's down to the reader to interpret them and give them relevance. If you and I went to different readers but picked the same cards, I doubt we'd come away with the same reading. Or, you went to two different readers but picked the same cards? And if you picked different cards at different readers, which is more likely, again your reading would be completely different! Who do you choose to believe? Whichever you like best?

People who aren't sceptical (like me) will find whatever they want from the session; they get. That's fair enough as long as the practitioner doesn't have a sinister intent. Unfortunately some do.

The cards have specific meanings anyway. I couldn't manipulate their meanings.

Cups are emotions, Wands are work and career related, pentacles money, swords are mental, as time frames you have cups=days, Wands=weeks, swords=months, pentacles=years.

I couldn't change what those suits stand for plus the pictures kind of dipict whether the card has a negative or positive association.

Like if you get the tower card you know something shit is going to happen or has happened if the card is demonstrating the past.

If some tarot reader tried telling me that the tower was good or the 3 of swords was good in regards to a love situation I'd tell them to fuck right off.

Most of them used what we called a 'barnum statement', a wide general statement that is likely to be applied to almost anyone, and work from there...

Reading tarot cards isn’t a gift. It requires knowledge of the meaning of the cards. Then the cards are simply a mirror of the querant’s subconscious.

I have used them for myself and with others and they have been useful and insightful.

I wouldn’t go to anyone charging for reading them though. I don’t need that kind of ‘help’ to understand myself

I believe it can provide comfort to some, I also believe it can be like counselling to others but like anything if there is money to be made there is a con to be ran.

I do, do tarot readings mostly for my friends and mostly for free. They help to guide the person to answers they already know but don't want to admit in my opinion. Similar to counselling. I do also do the silly ones but I don't put much stock in anyone that claims to know the future.

I think charlatans exist in most walks of life but those pursuits where there's little to no control or insight of evidential management, can open the floodgates to them.

There are recognized techniques that flood 'readers' with information from subjects, including cold reading. These give enormous potential for these people to determine many of the things that they will incorporate, even unconsciously, from people that they observe.

I'm interested in this field but credible evidence is pretty much non-existent. I'd like these people to readily submit themselves to independent validation and pursuit of any evidence that either these fields or they deliver anything approaching reliably convincing substance.

I had a reading done about 25 years ago, it was a free reading by a bloke in a houseshare I was living in.

It was quite a bizarre reading and I laughed it off. However about 75% of it has come true and it was not ordinary stuff like baby's ect. I thought it was a load of nonsense at the time. I also had a very cheap one done at a charity fair and that came mostly true too. So yes I am a believer. But not in people making a living out of it. It's your free ones that are accurate. The gifts aren't meant for making money from, so those charging are mostly talking bullshit. XXX

If it was all genuine then everybody would be millionaires, and nobody would grieve when a loved one dies, because of course you would “contact” your relatives as soon as you die right?

People choose to believe and it brings them comfort in some ways, so each to their own.

But if we are talking logically....

I quite fancy going just to see what they say and make an informed decision on whether I think there is any truth to it.

Having given it some thought in the past, I did think about the times I've been to church and the sermon they give. You can relate what is said to a particular part of your life and it see how it applies to you, but everyone in that church will probably do the same; but how they apply it to what is relevant in their life will be different to everyone else. So if one set of words can mean many different things to different people could tarot readers etc do the same?

It's stuff like that that makes me think there's something in it.

72 cards and she pulled out 7 and she never liked havingvher cards done or anything like that. Her energy was on the cards and they were the ones that were picked. It's like when I'm asking a specific question and I don't like the card, I'll put it back in, shuffle then but pull the same card out, have to read and accept it then!

Explain this please - on 2 consecutive nights many years ago, I awoke to see that the time was 3.33 (am) on my digital alarm clock. Told my mate whilst out for a few beers on the third night. We fell asleep in the living room and when he awoke he asked , "What time is it mate?"

It was 3.33 (for the third night running!). He got quite spooked and we looked in a couple of Bibles at page 333 - nothing. Picked up the 3rd book and it was called "Fate and Fortune" (3 words in tile and was by 3 authors). Turned to page 333 which featured rows of tarot cards - 3rd row down, 3rd card in - the death card - at which point my mate ordered a taxi and left sharpish!

Now, I`m no expert but I understand the death card can mean a new beginning. Should I have been gobsmacked when my only daughter was born at 3.33am several years later!

May all be a co-incidence?

A few years ago a friend got two tickets to a psychic fair at a leisure centre over in Bridgend. She asked me if I wanted to come along with her.

We drove in the car park expecting it to be full up but it was empty. We parked the car and walked over to the entrance. It was locked with a sign on the door...

"Psychic Fair cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances"

The moon does not effect us mentally one bit including the so called full moon effect. As for the planets, when there are aligned on the same side they have roughly the same gravitational effect upon you as a double decker bus a kilometre away. And when you look up into the night sky some of what you see is no longer there so how can all that effect you?

It is well known that for peoples who still live under the stars (so to speak) a very high percentage of women menstruate in a cycle co-inciding with a new moon - maybe more physical then mental but interesting nevertheless

But, is it just a bit of harmless fun or, do you take it a bit more seriously?

Is it something more sinister, con merchants praying on the vulnerable, taking people's money and fucking with their heads?

Does it bring comfort or cause more harm than good?

Should it all be banned and the people claiming to have these powers be exposed and ridiculed?"

Everyone has their own beliefs. I have read tarot cards in the past and things i have told people habe happened.

We were looking out of the bedroom window and my wife laughed saying ‘Lots of women will be going into labour’

"I don't believe in that sort of thing myself. Honestly... I think it's a load of mumbo jumbo!

But, is it just a bit of harmless fun or, do you take it a bit more seriously?

Is it something more sinister, con merchants praying on the vulnerable, taking people's money and fucking with their heads?

Does it bring comfort or cause more harm than good?

Should it all be banned and the people claiming to have these powers be exposed and ridiculed?

Everyone has their own beliefs. I have read tarot cards in the past and things i have told people habe happened.

Now, I`m no expert but I understand the death card can mean a new beginning. Should I have been gobsmacked when my only daughter was born at 3.33am several years later!

May all be a co-incidence?

My son was also born at 3:33, 33 weeks, Delivery Room 3 on my wife’s 33rd birthday

Really, exactly at 3:33 and exactly 33 weeks? yes exactly there were a couple of other 3s involved too..

Don't tell me... Let me look into my tarot cards.

Wtf your son was conceived to a 3some

Errr no

Just as long as it's harmless - no money involved or manipulation - then why not.

But then a lot of "services promise a lot of things but don't necessarily deliver.

So spending money on crap covers a lot of products.

It's about what makes us feel good - it doesn't always work.

It was a full moon the night before. (associated with women going into labour)

We were looking out of the bedroom window and my wife laughed saying ‘Lots of women will be going into labour’

I retorted by saying ‘It would be no bad thing if the baby came early’ as I was due to be on the other side of the world near to when he was due)

Statistically no more babies are born under a full moon, another old wife's tale.

Is there a difference between believing in clairvoyants, believing in the occult, believing in witchcraft,

or believing in the Bible?

It's not true.

Unless you frequent yoga sites or naturalnews type bs pages.

Statistics will show half of women start three days either side of a new or full moon. That's maths not some connection with the energies and your body vibrating at the moon's frequency . Or what ever it is some might say.

The moon controls the tides via gravity which is measurable.gravity is constant. Nothing changes how we act. To claim it does shows a complete lack of understanding

On average there's a full moon every 29.5 days in the UK. So, rather than a strange coincidence it was a 1 in 30 chance happy event for you.

That's the problem with these sort of things, which would someone like to or rather remember, something strange or boring fact?

I'd say at least 90% of the things which i have seen in the cards yes.

I once worked on a tarot line and someone had rang in and spoke to another reader. When the reading was over she asked the reader where her partner was. The reader asked me. I spread my cards out whilst asking where he was and told the reader to tell her he was in Switzerland. Which was true.

None, it's all unprovable nonsense people choose to believe in to make themselves feel better rather than dealing with their own emotions or facts

With all due respect, I tentatively still ask was it exactly 3:33 and 33 weeks (no days)? As for your good lady's birthday, a 1 in 365 chance of that.

A friend's two children were both born on Friday 13th of the same month! He wasn't very impressed when I said it was probably due to him only being allowed sex once a year!

If it's 29.5 days since the last one, yes.

There's one on Facebook, I think called Sally Anne psychic or something like that that I've noticed quite a few of the otherwise rational women on my friends list following. I looked on the page and I'm convinced these people are mental, how do they even believe such rubbish and even more so how are they prepared to part with decent sums of cash for readings or items like "mojo bags" etc?!

Hey, if their happy!

I live near, and visit, Glastonbury regularly. There are lots of people there that think they are witches or wizards and that they have special powers!? Or maybe they have! They seem happy and are certainly friendly. Plenty of mystic capitalists to empty a believers bank account there though. I'm sure some of Glastonbury's residents and visitors would make people on that Facebook page (if not on there themselves) look sane!
