As no doubt I’ve said before, I’m not an impulse buyer but…
I’m on the brink of ordering a pack of tarot cards.There is no doubt it was watching Live and Let Die back in 73 that got my imagination racing…
The artwork in that particular pack is gorgeous, a pleasure just to look at!
These things were never designed to predict the future, merely gaming cards originating during the mid 15th century. They however can used by the unscrupulous to exploit weak and vulnerable people!
The imagery in the major arcana is really something else, quite strong, pictures to enjoy and reflect upon in a personal kind of way if that makes sense?
I was taught to do readings with a regular deck of playing cards in the 80s.
Have been to a few psychics, good and bad over the years.
Since then, I have my tarot cards handy, when I’m feeling oddly weird, or curious, or romantic, or edgy or…well, I do several types of layouts, too!
I learnt to read them back in my 20’s and have done all my life though not so much over the last decade as I got into astrology.
I’m pretty rusty now …
I think there is something to them but as a divinatory tool they’re better are sensing trends or potential rather than definitive prophecy.
