How do i convince my parents that i can use Tarot cards and that there not fricken evil!!!!!!?
Because it's their beliefs, they won't be easily swayed. Let them believe what they want, it's their choice. Your best bet is to just practice developing your skills in private, away from them. Take it from me, daughter of a mother who believes that everything is satanic... it can get pretty annoying.
Reply:Anything that is not Judeo-Christian base that wants you to put your faith in is usually considered evil, with the exception of another religion. That is what is taught. Horoscopes, astrology, crystal balls all fall under this scope. Your parents are coming from "who do you put your faith in?", and your back up is this: Mom, Dad, I love you and you're my parents, but where is this family's faith? You don't go to church, you haven't taught me the path you want me to follow; therefore, I am finding out on my own. Am I wrong? And, umm, do it politely without any tone....parents no like that.
Reply:You don't you must take you parents into a dark room and try to kill them if you do not succeed run away from home! Or start a family with a chicken or a cow.
Reply:I don't think you can convince your parents.


They disapprove because they are ignorant to the tarrot card culture.


It doesn't mean they are wrong, it just means they are not versed.


My advice would be to just do your thing without them knowing.
Reply:Just use the Tarot on-line or keep the cards hidden from them.
Reply:It will not be easy to convince them to change their beliefs on this and they may have some Biblical quotes about the "evils" of Divination. I would just tell them that not everyone believes spirits control the cards. Some believers in tarot think they work not because spirits direct your hand, but because your subconscious is giving you the answer. The subconsious mind knows a lot that the conscious mind is not aware of. Some people will say this subconsious information is (either always or sometimes) psychic in nature, while others might argue that it isn't psychic, but is simply clues or knowledge you have picked up in non-psychic ways. Anyway, I do believe in psychic abilities. I think the information coming through can be partially psychic sometimes, but not always, and also is partially or at times, completely, based on knowledge picked up in non psychic ways. This information is sometimes not introduced to the consious brain, and I think the cards help it come out. I suppose technically, there has to be some psychic ability involved since even if you didn't psychically interprit the correct answer and just based it solely on other (as in non-psychic) subconscious knowledge (as opposed to psychic, but subconsious knowledge), you still would have to psychically sense what cards you were holding in order to get the right cards to show up in the right place in the spread. I do believe more psychically sensitive people, and also people whose psychic abilities are at a high for them (some people's spike at times, drop at others) do better readings, but that is just my opinion. Other people will tell you ghosts or demons do it, of course, but I don't believe that, even though I do believe in spirits. Anyway, other people will say it is just for fun and doesn't even work, or that it is so generalized it'd work for anything. I don't think it is that generalized, though, but that is just my opinion.





Anyway, point being tell your parents you don't think it even works, and it is just for fun (you apparently think this since you said it was for games, or at least want them to think you believe this), but that even if it does work it is because of your own knowledge of things. To me, if people have psychic abilities, I think that we were programmed to have them by whatever made us. So, if God made us, I would think God gave us those abilities. Also, tell them you will not take the word of the cards as definite truth, so they won't worry they will mislead you and cause you to do something crazy. Assure them that you know they aren't always accurate and that there are certain things you would never do or believe anyway- in other words, you're not going to kill someone because of something the cards said.





Honestly, even if you do think they work, that is no reason to think they can never be wrong. If they were read by spirits, they could prob. lie. I think our subconsious does it, but even then, your subconsious can make mistakes and get the wrong answer. Plus, sometimes, your subconsious may not even have a clue as to what the answer is, or your psychic sense of the cards may be off, so then the reading may just be random and meaningless and wrong. I am not knocking the cards, but if they say something that sounds totally wrong, consider that they might be. Sometimes, though, they even remind us of what we consciously know, and we realize that as we interprit them. You can take them as advice, and maybe with time, you may even think of them as a trusted source of advice, but not all advice is something we listen to, even if the source is usually wise. Just think about what they say, and think if you feel it is accurate or not, and maybe watch for signs of accuracy, but be careful not to misinterprit things you see just because they cards told you to look for them- in other words, no jumping to conclusions.





Also, tell your parents that the futures the cards tell are generally not considered to be written in stone. The cards do not tell you what will definitely happen. They are not all knowing. Many believers feel that sometimes they just tell us what will most likely happen if the course of events stays the same as it is now. Kind of like, people predict the weather based on evidence, but we cannot guarantee what will happen. Well, your subconscious mind may use evidence from non-psychically gained knowledge as well as psychic info., and then use that knowledge to predict the likely outcome if nothing changes, then psychically feel out the cards and get them in the right order to send out the predicted "forecast."





You could go along with the "it is just a game," thing, explaining on top of it that even believers often do not think spirits are in control, nor that the forecast is always right, nor that it is unchangeable (most think it can be changed), and that you won't listen to and follow them blindly, and also you could say to them that you don't even psychically place the cards in the right places, but that you just consciously interprit them in ways that are fitting to your situation and that interpritation is just a reflection of what you already know subconsciously (don't have to mention psychic anything) and consciously. Also, ask them how they believe it is possible for a set of drawings on paper cards to have the ability in to conjure demons to read the cards. Do not ask them that if you think they will be insulted and get angry.





I understand that you want them to accept this, but arguing with them may very likely do nothing, but cause arguing between you. So, I was wondering why are you set on convincing them of this? Is it because you need them to buy you some tarot cards or are you afraid that they will find your cards and freak out or?
