Is Tarot Real And Can It Tell You About Your Life?
In the world today, we find many people interested in Tarot and fortune telling. As many people who believe that Tarot cards do work, and provide meaningful information for there lives, there are also others who say that they don’t work.
For centuries humans have sought to know what is going to happen. We know about yesterday, though maybe we have not gleaned all the necessary lessons, and tomorrow is like a dream, and it would be nice to know what is going to happen! Tarot makes this possible.
I guess it would be in order for me to tell you my position on the topic, so you understand my bias. I do believe that the Tarot works, so this article may be a bit biased on the working factor, however, I will try to provide the unbiased information, so you can make up your own mind on the subject.
For many centuries many kings and queens have used diviners to get answers to there problems. Certainly Tarot has been the most popular method of divination in most parts of the world. Though I would like to give you a look at differences between what could be termed real divination and fortunetelling. A diviner looks for insight, and gains information, whereas the term ‘fortuneteller’ though implies someone possibly being a gypsy, more often than not, is a glamorous way of making money at fairs, etc. Though some of them may actually be a diviner.
If you ask most diviners where they get the answers for there questions, you will find as much variety as the many religions of the Earth! Some people believe that the answers come from spiritual forces, god, a god, Gaia (Earth Spirit, Mother Earth), others also believe that it may come from the unconscious collective, and yet others believe it is there own creativity.
Scientists and Psychologists such as Carl Jung did much study with the tarot, and believed that the tarot cards were symbols which resonated with the archetypes of different people. Another noted person working with consciousness was Dr Timothy Leary. Timothy Leary believed that the cards represented our journey through life.
Whether you believe in tarot or not does not necessarily mean that you will get a good or bad reading, nor does it mean that it will effect your life or not. The cards have been used by many over the years in the belief that it does work. Many people who have had readings have found that the cards do indeed speak about some parts of there lives. For the skeptics however, often the view is that the cards speak to generally.
The tarot cards popularity has also found its way online, where now, you can find many sites online who will give you a free reading. Again skeptics are born, and now with people who do believe in tarot cards ability! The question is now whether online tarot card readings work as well or if at all compared with traditional in your hand tarot cards.
My take on this is that whether the tarot cards are physically present in front of you or on a virtual screen, the tarot is based on randomness and faith. The randomness that out of infinite possibilities the card dealing with your present life is the one to come up; and the faith that some power whatever we may call it is the power which delivers us the right card.
Tarot will always catch people’s fascination. After all anything that can give us a glimpse of tomorrow, a better understanding about our life, and lessons from the past is giving us a map of the unknown.

Are Tarot Cards And Ouija Boards Dangerous?
Ok, So I just bought a pack of tarot cards. My friends and I think there really cool. So I was thinking of Getting a Ouija board but all the articles i have looked up about them say that there dangerous and that when using one you can contact spirits and demons. They also say the same can happen with tarot cards. Is that true?
Tarot cards are not what most people believe them to be. They were created in mid 15th century Italy for the Milanese court and consist of two parts: a standard pack of Latin suited playing cards (preexisting tarot in Europe by about 70 years) and a fifth suit of picture cards. These extra cards took as their theme a triumph procession, hence their early name of trionfi, meaning triumphs, and from which we get our word trump. And that is what they were, a suit of fixed trumps for use in a family of card games – games that continue to be played throughout continental Europe to this day!
It was not until the end of the 18th century that a Parisian occultist, ignorant of the cards’ actual origin, published the claim that they came from Ancient Egypt and were brought to us by the Gypsies. He also published the first account of how they might be used for divination. There is no evidence for the cards coming from Egypt and he didn’t attempt to give any and the meanings attributed to the cards for fortune telling, being based upon an erroneous account of their origins are the product of invention.
Of course, some of the cards can seem a little mysterious, even heretical – but when viewed in context of when and where they were created, we find that they were not. Indeed, contrary to popular myths, the Church never tried to suppress the images of the tarot.
Without an occult origin, fortune telling with tarot is no different in kind from fortune telling with tea leaves, dominoes, or knuckle bones. However people might use tea leaves for fortune telling and no matter what you might think of fortune telling, it doesn’t make tea leaves in any way dangerous. I wouldn’t drink so much tea if it did!
Personally, I don’t believe that fortune telling works – but that is something that you must make up your own mind about. The points is that tarot cards are not dangerous and you should feel safe to use them however you wish. I hope however, that you might also try using them for some games as well – it was what they were invented for.
As for ouija boards – well, the pointing device never moves without someone ‘touching’ it, does it….again, that’s something you shall have to make up your own mind about.
