What do you think about Tarot cards and tarot readings?
I think that tarot cards can be very helpful for meditation purposes to help you find out things about yourself that you may not have realized and quite frankly that your friends would probably not tell you if they did notice them.


With that said, I also recommend that your need be real because I do believe that the urgency of wanting to know something somehow helps in the process to discover what is in your, what I call ,"blind spot". Doing some reading on the Tarot cards would probably do alot of good in order to help you see the various interpretations for each card.


In my personal experiences with various card decks, and books, I have found that the cards have become extremely valuable to me as a tool. They help me focus on whatever it is that is bothering me. Images are particularly helpful for me and so tarot cards are really invaluable to me at this point in my journey.


I do think that you should know what you are looking for whether you are doing your own readings, researching the cards, or getting a reading. I think that the cards and /or readings should be used as a reference tool whereby you are presented with things or points to consider in your thought process about the problem or issue that concerns you. If you are looking for answers, the best answers always come from deep inside of you, for your own life. So, using the cards or a reader can do the same thing and that is help you to see the situation from yet another angle, which should help to affirm your own gut feelings or knowledge of the situation and help you to uncover your true opinion in the matter and thereby choose the solution or strategy that suits you the best.


I read every tarot book that I can find at the library, at the bookstores and online. I also am constantly studying various decks and the authors opinions and interpretations. I started studying or rather researching the Tarot seven years ago. During that time I have lost track of the time -if it were not for the habit of writing the date that I acquired each book in my library on the subject, then I would not have known how long it has been. I am what I would call an intuitive and have been gifted all of my life from childhood, always having vivid dreams and visions that came true, alot of times just as I saw them, sometimes they were hours before , sometimes the dreams would be days, weeks, months and even years before. When I started reading about the Tarot I did not want to know how they worked because I came from a very deep Christian educational background. But as I experienced more things in my life, I decided to look at the Tarot more closely and that was in 2003. I do believe that the Tarot is a tool that can be helpful to anyone who actually can relate to them. I hope that my response is helpful to you.

Reply:I have done many tarot readings myself and tey all gave some info that was useful. Personally i believe that tarot works at least a little bit.
Reply:I read tarot cards and they give eerily accurate answers and insights...

Reply:Good entertainment. But you kinda see what you want to see, so you could theoretically use them as a tool to figure out the real roots of your impulses - cheaper than therapy, but not as effective.
Reply:If you are superstitious, indeed you get influenced by superstition.
Reply:No experience with them. I think they could be fun, but shouldn't be taken seriously.
Reply:i have done reading on others and they all come back tellin' me that my reading is accurate... tarot isn't bad or evil.. its an inspiration and guidance!
Reply:Tarot has been real good at explaining how things are, and how they got there, but the future they predict frequently doesn't come true because we can change our destiny with a simple change of heart.





So yes they work, but better for looking into the past.
Reply:I think they can be used as a tool for guidance or meditation, but I don't believe that they "tell the future".
Reply:there just cards that tell your past, present, and future life.


if you ask me, i think that they are just plain old fun, and a coinsidense at the same time.





my mother is obsessed with tarot and has done many readings on me, and i'm fine.
Reply:I think they're like horoscopes. They can point out some things that are interesting, but they won't tell you anything you don't already know or believe.





I read them myself, but only for close friends and family. I'm always spot-on, but like I said it never tells us anything we weren't already considering.
Reply:I recognize that Tarot cards are nothing more than little pieces of card stock with pretty pictures on them that a bunch of people agree have certain meanings.





However, they can be useful as a way of intentionally shifting your view point of a situation, to bring you out of your pre-conceived notions, to consider other possible notions.





They're totally bunk as a divinitory item. All the same, they're still useful.
Reply:I believe that they are NOT for entertainment only but involve demonic forces. Fortune telling or anything to do with witches/mediums/etc is forbidden by God... so I'm gonna stay away from it.
Reply:i like it, it just shows that Jesus Christ is true
Reply:I am an in betweener when it comes to tarot reading, i have done it in the past and came to terms that the cards for me was a read off of "omes" or my "ora". Some of the cards would really be on target with present feelings i was having, but when it came to questions about my near future it was off! The cards are a fun coincident, the cards to me are kinda just a refelection of how your feeling at the moment, but cannot be used to determine "what will happen next!".





Good luck with it, if you try it out just dont go too far with it....
