Basing one's opinion of an entire practice on one tarot reading is, in my opinion, like reading one word in a book and deciding the author is horrible.Tarot cards is a form of divination
How you draw some cards from a deck and then lay them out on a table is supposed to tell you about your future
I've had a Tarot reading and have decided it's all mumbo-jumbo
It was all very vague, no specificsBasing one's opinion of an entire practice on one tarot reading is, in my opinion, like reading one word in a book and deciding the author is horrible.

Not at all convincing
I had the reading about 6 months ago
Apparently a terrible calamity is coming my way.........
I'm still waiting for it
Yes, maybe the reader was incompetent, that is a possibilityI had a tarot reading a few months ago by someone on this forum, and it was spot on. I've had two more since then, and both were spot on.
Have you ever considered that perhaps it was the person who read the cards who was mistaken, rather than the cards themselves? Maybe the person was inexperienced with them. It can happen. There are people who dabble in divination who don't fully understand it and are inexperienced.
If your car broke down, and someone offered to fix it for free and someone else offered to fix it for £200, and you chose the free option, and the car didn't run right, would you be suspicious of all mechanics and conclude that car repair is just an easy way for someone to make £200?Yes, maybe the reader was incompetent, that is a possibility
But he did it for free and the local woman who does readings charges £40 for a reading and there is no way I am going to spend that much on such a thing
I don't get how it is supposed to work either and am deeply suspicious of it, sounds rather irrational to me
I think it is just an easy way for someone to make £40, that's all
It's not the sameIf your car broke down, and someone offered to fix it for free and someone else offered to fix it for £200, and you chose the free option, and the car didn't run right, would you be suspicious of all mechanics and conclude that car repair is just an easy way for someone to make £200?
Unless my memory is failing me, you were a theist right up until a few days ago.It's not the same
It is reasonable to believe that cars exist and that broken cars can be repaired
It is not reasonable to believe that making a selection of cards in a certain way will somehow reveal the future
I call that magical thinking and very much doubt that the universe works that way
I now know better.......Unless my memory is failing me, you were a theist right up until a few days ago.
I find your composition of posts/threads attacking "magical thinking" to be quite comical.
There are many other forms of divination besides tarot.I now know better.......
I am open to there being supernatural and mysterious things that are real but beyond enquiry and understanding
I do not believe that Tarrot is such a thing
But if it gives people hope and structure I would never condem it, it seems perfectly harmless to me
And I'm also sceptical about thoseThere are many other forms of divination besides tarot.
And I'm also sceptical about those
But Tarrot is the one I have the most experience with
