Re: Tarot readings

I have never had mine read and l wouldn’t want to.

The same, l would never have my fortune told. It’s like peeping at the ending of a book to see how it finishes.

What will be will be.

Except that there is not a shred of proof that's how it will end for you.

Re: Tarot readings

While I can see it as a tool for self-examination, my issue with it is that a good friend adamantly believes it predicts the future...I can't buy that...

Re: Tarot readings

I've read tarot cards for over 30 years .. and I'm not sure I do either.

I tend to believe that first and foremost ... a tarot reading provides a snapshot of a moment in time , of that precise moment in the situation under question ....... the layout unfolds with a chain of events ... the outcome is not fixed.

Anywhere along the line the querent (the one having the reading done for them) can alter the outcome, usually by how they react and deal with things. A bit like turning right at the traffic lights instead of left. The destination alters.

It can be bad though.
I once knew a woman who had her cards read, relationship advice, and the Tarot reader said her marriage would end.
The woman .. fatalistically thinking, 'it's going to happen anyway', immediately went home, packed her husbands stuff in bin bags and threw him out.
Her marriage ended. The Tarot reader was right. In my opinion that was a poor, even a manipulative reader.

There's a very basic reading anyone can do which illustrates this well.
A three card daily spread.
Card 1. The good positive things for this day.
Card 2. The not so nice things for the day.
Card 3. What you have to overcome, how to deal with it, and what you learn this day ( even it it's 'sod it' I shouldn't have got up today and stayed in bed).

As a tool for self-reflection and meditation is does have more value.

I agree, Morti, have used them this way for years. Some of the art work is really beautiful as well.

Re: Tarot readings

It is isn't it. The more you delve into the symbolism the more fascinating it becomes.

I'm surprised you haven't designed your own pack. You're gifted and creative enough to do it.

Re: Tarot readings

Morti - do you have a favourite deck?

The one I use most is 'The Celtic Tarot' - well it would be, wouldn't it - artwork is by Courtney Davis and is really beautiful.

I also have 'Tarot of the Old Path' which is interesting, and 'The Lord of Rings Tarot' - bought that one purely for the artwork - have never used it for readings.
