Can tarot cards really tell the future?

My boyfriends friend has been practicing wicca for awhile and does tarot card readings. He was recently given a new tarot card set and wanted to do a reading for me, but that psycic stuff kinna freaks me out. But the more he told me about it the more intrigued i was. Now I want to try it. Should I do it? How does it work? Is it accurate? What should I ask?

Can tarot cards really tell the future?
No one can predict the future with tarot cards. They are along the same line as astrology - you are actually interpreting what is said to fit your life. If someone told you that tomorrow if you see a woman dressed in red you would be lucky in financial matters, what would you do? You would be on the lookout the next day for a woman dressed in red. Then if you seen someone dressed in red you might go and buy a lottery ticket. If you win, you would think, oh my gosh, they were right, I'll do it again! But if you didn't win, you would make all kinds of excuses like maybe it wasn't the right shade of red that she had on, or maybe she needed to be all in red, or maybe I wasn't supposed to by a lottery ticket maybe I was supposed to go play Bingo... and on and on. You make your actions fit the prediction and if you can't then you try to justify it. It's a superstition to some and a way to scam money for others.
Reply:Sorry hushnowjust... you are wrong. You must be too young to understand that astrology is a science %26amp; everything is energy. Nothing can truly fortell the future. Nothing is set in stone.We are ALL co-creators, therefore we change what we choose to change. Report Abuse

Reply:HOWEVER Tarot cards work with a persons spirit/higher self %26amp; therefore are accurate a good % of the time. They are a tool one can use to gain perspective on a situation. Report Abuse

Reply:The spirit/higher self works with the ONE CONSCIOUSNESS which is GOD.The energy is channeled from GOD into the person giving the reading %26amp; then it's perceive %26amp; interperet with our own consciousness. Report Abuse

Reply:By and by hushnowjust..... Tarot cards do not fortell what people wear...I can tell you've never had a true experience with this tool. It's well advised that you have an understanding about materials before you speak about them.There's enough ignorance in the world already, thank you. Report Abuse

Reply:The thing with tarot cards is their intepretations are too vague.they could be connected with anything if you really believe enough in them.if i said to a few people that something in their life was coming to and end and a new begining was starting for them do you realise how many people could say i was bang on the mark.its too vague and does predict anything.its the person getting the reading that makes it what it is
Reply:Yes they can, my grandmother was told her fortune by tarot cards, and every little thing happened. You should try it, not really for sure how it works, yes it is accurate,you can ask anything you want.
Reply:Nobody can tell you your future. Tarot cards only tell what is happening with you NOW.
Reply:give it a try, if he is doing it free of charge. yes the future can be predicted using the cards.
Reply:i have just started reading cards. i use a regular deck of cards. they are based on tarot cards and can be very accurate. i did it just for fun, but so many people have told me that my predictions are coming true. now that kind of freaks me out. but it is all in good fun. let the cards tell you, i think it is better than asking questions. ill read you one day for fun. just dont blame me if it comes true lol.
Reply:NO, the tarot cards are a tool that a PERSON who can tell the future uses. They give us clues and we work out the details.





It's nothing ot be freaked out about,
Reply:if tarot card can tell the future, i will be a millionaire by now.
Reply:Tarot cards show you the possible futures that you might have. It has more of an effect if you take them seriously and ask real questions. Any answers that you get is a possibility, and you can change it by taking a different action.
Reply:I have used tarot cards before and there is no doubt in my mind that they work. The first time my friends and I used them we repeatedly got the same card, in reverse, in the same card position. This happened at least 8 times. It was really freaky. But since then, every time I've had a reading it's been accurate about what is going on in my life and I can look back now and see things that have happened that it predicted it would. It's hard to believe it really works, but if you're open to it and really concentrate it is real and does work. Just make sure you're using for the right reasons. It's a special and very real thing. It shouldn't be messed with. It's meant to be taken seriously.
Reply:Tarot cards help to focus you on what the future might bring, they do not predict the future. They just aid you in seeing what might happen due to the choices you make.
Reply:Only if they like you. Tarot reading should thus be all about making them like you. I wouldn't throw them at the table or cut them brusquely or place them on a dirty table. If I was a card, that would just piss me off.
Reply:Hi im brian and i am a certified tarot master with the canadian tarot network. i have been studying and reading tarot and related subjects for more then 16 years. i have my own code of ethics published at the tarotcanada.com website. in order to answer your doing futures question you have to understand the nature of reality that we live in. RIGHT NOW you have an infinite amount of choices in what you think, say and do. and when you make that choice it sets up future consequences or causes and effects. so clearly because of this infinite amount of possible choices there is also an infinite amount of future outcomes. if your life follows a pattern of decisions (and 98%) of us do follow a pattern. then predicting the outcome of that pattern becomes easier. but at no time should you or anyone think that, that future is etched in stone. everyone has the ability to change thier future by changing their own patterns and changing the flow of their decisions. now everyone is psychic its just normally a muscle most people dont excersize so it seems as if its not there. practice that muscle and it will get stronger. and as a person who has done endless study into tarot let me give you a hint in the direction you may want to choose in further study. (kabbalah, qabalah, cabala) is an ancient hebrew study for mysticism. and the tree of life is a mathmatical and geometrical phenominon and that it has 10 dots (sephiroth) that are similar in style to the ace to ten of tarot. it has 22 paths that are similar in style and meaning to the 22 major arcana cards. it has 4 primordial worlds that are exactly the 4 suits of tarot (primordial air fire water and earth) so if you want to give your tarot understanding a major boost look into this subject.
Reply:I've had my fortune told by tarot cards and it was extremely accurate. Acutally, I was going through a pretty tough time at the moment; I had just broken down and seen a therapist the day before and the guy reading the cards said pretty much everything the therapist told me.





I didn't know the person reading the card and I didn't ask any questions, so it was all him reading the cards (and probably my body language/reactions). However, I talked to him afterwards and he said that he and his friends all read tarot cards, but it's a bad idea to read each other's cards because they know each other and that can influence the interpretation.
Reply:No, it is just how you and the reader interpret the cards. When you hear your reading if there is something you want to happen some people change their ways/thinking's in hope that it will happen.


Generally they are very open and it can apply to any aspect.
Reply:yes, but the cards need to blessed. I have been reading cards form the age of 9...I would go into more detail but it to way to long.
Reply:It would be better for you to buy yourself a deck of cards, don't allow others to touch them. Get to know the cards and what they mean. These cards best answer yes or no questions. You aren't suppose to ask questions like when or if I am going to die, get hit by a car, when will I die crap like that. It can be a guide and not more. Life changes on a minute by minute bases, and no cards or stars can say when anyone will die. You won't find out when you will win the lottery or what the numbers either. I don't feel that a person on the phone can tell me anything about me without me being personally present. I have read cards for others and I read them the meaning of the card and how it could pretain to their question, which I do not ask ahead of time what the question is. I keep it a yes or no. If you just wanted a quick answer, I have just read the last question with a Yes or No, and the meaning of the card. Death card doesn't mean Death either.





Nor should one use these readings to plan their day or their lives. Should not be taken so serious, it should really just be used as entertainment and amusment. Unless you really get to know what your doing, and money should not be an issue. Unless it's taking up too much time.





If you play cards with regular cards you know it's a game of chance, some cases of numbers. Some people can feel things and see things that others have closed their minds to, we have things we can and can not do.





Now, that's just the way I look at things such as this. Doesn't really matter, I am just adding me 25 cents.
Reply:yeah, partly, but not 100% it's a dangerous field that opposes God. i used to be into some really stupid stuff, but when you see who has the real power, you kinda forsake all the nonsense.
Reply:I am a tarot reader myself. I have practiced wicca though I grew up in a christian home. I have had many accurate readings. However the reading depends upon the person doing the reading and the cards. Not all cards read for the all people. The person doing the reading needs to make sure they have an actual connection to the cards themselves. I have been wrong only once, but I was reading for a Pagan who's energy/power whatever you want to call it was stronger than mine and therefore has the ability to disrupt the energy I use to do the readings. You don't have to believe it, but it's the truth...as far as can be proven.
Reply:Ok Tarot cards sometimes can tell the future.... but you do not want to play with them. And if you do demonds will try to hurt you and haunt you for the rest of your life. You need to follow Gods way and stay away from that kind of stuff.
Reply:Do what you will so long as you harm none. Tarot cards usually are quite cool to look at and they are also a pretty fun. What they are NOT is a reliable indicator of what your future will be; so don't get obsessed with the readings you get. The best indicator of your future is your present: for example, if you are a sloppy underachiever living in rather unpleasant circumstances, then there is a high probability that you will be in more or less the same situation ten years from now...unless you take practical steps to change your behavior, figure out what you want from life, make a plan of graduated steps to achieve your goals, and then take those steps towards getting the life you want. Most people are rudderless: it is useless knowing their future because they are, in fact, going nowhere.





As for wicca, it too is quite fun as religions go, so long as practitioners do not fall into the pitfalls that characterize more traditional religions i.e. fundamentalism, rigid thinking, and a complete embrace of sheer irrationality and beliefs based upon little or no credible supporting evidence. Religious extremism is always ugly, no matter what the religion is.
Reply:no.
Reply:they tell what you wish them to tell. It could show you the tortured soul of your past life or it could tell you of the golirous future ahead. if you do the same ritual three different time on three different days at midnight witht he same atmosphere and you get the smae things then that should tell you something. I've done it only once in my seven years of Tarrot and it showed me my past life, my present lifea nd my future life interlocked my a magik that has been in my family for generations. I wouldn't suggest you doing a wiccan ritual until you understand what everything really means. It could cause a butterfly effect in your mind and then you become paranoid. i've been there. I did a Tarrot reading before i blessed my deck and i ended up with Death. just be careful.
