Are Tarot Cards Really That Bad?

It depends on your intentions. If you’re looking to use them for evil, then yes, I would say they are bad. But Carl Jung used them as a tool in his therapy sessions, as he believed tarot cards could read a person’s sub conscious mind. And that is what I believe tarot cards are good for.

I can tell you that from personal experience. When I was on that two year meth binge I shuffled a lot of tarot cards for myself. I could read the cards really well back then and I could easily come up with stories in the pictures that depicted my internal thoughts, feelings and struggles under the surface.

I’ve shuffled so many decks of tarot/oracle cards I’ve got carpal tunnel in my thumbs.

When I try to read for other people I first cleanse the cards (clear out old energy) then I let them handle the cards by touching them, maybe shuffling and/or cutting the deck. Then I will place and read the cards for them. ChatGPT has been helpful too.

I don’t believe tarot cards tell your future, because Energy is fluent, constantly moving and ever changing. As soon as you lay the cards down they’re no longer relevant. Thats how fast energy moves and changes.

I personally do not see them as bad, but rather a good way to start a conversation. That’s been my experience reading for other people. They make good conversation starters.

What does the Bible say about tarot reading? Nothing. But it uses the term divination in relation to fortune telling. Which yes, most people use tarot to fortune telling. That is totally different than what I use them for. I use them to probe people’s mind. That’s it.

I am in complete agreement with Carl Jung.
