I wouldnt fuck with tarot readings.Whatever you take you have to give 10 fold.Dont think you can get a tarot card reading without somehow feeling the reprocussions of it.
Somethings are better left unsaid.To know everything is to pave the way for our demise.

The general rule of thumb seems to be, only use them when all other avenues on the physical level have been covered. Yes you are right to not abuse the idea of having a reading done, and yes there is a principle of equivalent trade so that what you take from the Tarot you have to give back in a sense, but you are going overboard with this 10 to 1 business. Stop sensationalizing your response to give it an aire of credibility, if you actually believe what you wrote than you should probably re-examine the tarot and some publications on the matter, it's not a medium one should inherently fear, maybe respect...but if you think fear and respect are synonymous, well, I am not even gonna comment then.

mark....i thought thats exactly what you do when you tap into tarot. or anything like this such as ouija boards,runes ect. spirits and forces using these objects as a condiut to your sub-concious. ...*as for myslef? well after dabbling with it when i was younger and seeing some crazy ass shamans at work in peru i think its best just to leave this stuff alone. its taken too lightly for its own good. like those novelty tarot sets they sell at chapters and such.

i dont know los astrology is some pretty serious shit. i think all this stuff has some crediblity.its just the amount of credibility you give it i suppose. like if i truly beleive that im gonna be contacted by aliens and surround myself with crazy magic alters and crystal balls some weird shit is definatly going to happen. but if i surround myself with corporate stuff and bills and other non occullt things you wouldnt be opend up to that kind of stuff so much.

I heard that u cannot buy ur own tarot cards and then i also heard that u can but as long as you get them blessed before using them... I have a deck of universal waite tarot cards, and i would love to use them but however I also heard that u cannot do readings on urself.... I am a spirtualist, i dont take anything lightly when it comes to using energy sources or asking a spirt for help or anything...ive experienced some freaky things (ouji board) and i know that its not something to be played with...

The tarot is definetly something that is taken too lightly, I agree. I think on the opposite end of the spectrum, they are also something that may be taken too harshly by those that recognize it's merit to some degree. I dont want to come off as though my experience with the Tarot gives me a better judgement, but I think it does. I will be straight up about that, and I will also add that I don't see myself to be flawless, so please disagree with me if you want, you may just change my mind. As I understand it, the Tarot IS something that can be invoked. For instance you may have a reading or be drawn to a certain card and want to do a guided visualization/meditation with one. However, for a reading, it is entirely up to the querent if they want to do this. It may be suggested by the reader to do so...but it should be, and in a sense always is, a voluntary act. For divination by the means of Runes however, traditionally you would have to feed the runes with your own blood. Naturally there I could see invoking being an inesacapable step in that tradition of divination....but Runes are always entities in some way. The tarot is a bit more, practical you could say, as far as divination is concerned. Again this is my personal take, so take it with a grain of salt if you may, but I would say as long as one doesn't want to abuse the medium, tarot isn't something to fear, it's a tool that is meant to be practical. One should always be aware though for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, looking at the Tarot as a living drama, it would be a near incalculable err to think you can just use these like a game of scrabble. I guess it depends on who you ask too. See I look at the Tarot as a living drama, each card is alive in it's role. To some taking that perspective could be in effect invoking them on each use. My impression is that this is done if you specifically invoke the card ...which we all do to some extent when getting a reading. So in a sense you are right, but it depends on the particulars, I think an outright concious invoking is different though. That is more something along the lines of Runes.

Palmistry,tarot,ouija,psychics,runes,ast rology,numerology,is so deeply rooted in the occult its not even funny.Look up the word metphysical,it means the occult.The occult is directly linked to Satan.So is hinduism,sufism,and a whole slew of other "religions".This would also include...free masonry,kaballah etc etc etc. And we all know how you feel about the free masons. Its not something that should be taken lightly like John said,but it constantly is.

It can be that the negative or paranoid association you brought to these mediums is what brought to you potentially harmful or extreme situations. I don't advocate dabbling here, you are clearly misunderstanding me. Or maybe you don't see the difference between fear and respect. If that's the case, I feel sorry for you. You know how I feel about freemason's eh? Do I even know who you are in real life? Have we ever had a conversation in real life about my ideas about this whole structure...no. Stop talking out of your ass.

the diffrence between tarot cards and horoscopes are that in a horoscope somebodey writes some stuff for u to read, but in tarot cards u shuffle the deck using your own energy, and u pick the cards with your hands so the power is greater.

ye gads. nothing will ever be so amusing to me than people discussing god on the internet...
a discordian perspective. this is how i see it. ever actually just look at the cards in the tarot deck? each one tells a story, or at least a part of a story, with symbolism abound. but ultimately they are portions of a story that we as people relate to, which makes it universal. in fact, if you were to compare the major arcana's numbers 1 through 20, you're looking at a joseph campbell hero quest. where number 0, the fool, is the innocent hero holding a white rose signifying innocence at the beginning of his quest, becomes 21, the world, which is doing the same dance but has the power of the elements behind him and can hold the candle burning at both ends. and the steps in the numbers can be related to traditional hero storytelling. so in the cards is a bunch of advice. situations that people deal with in certain stages. how to handle and get through the situations.... so the idea is, as long as you leave the arrangement of the good advice and which good advice to give to chaos (e.g. shuffling a deck of cards) then it becomes pertinent to the person getting a reading. are you bullshitting yourself? yeah, but it helps you get by and lets you look for answers you may not necessarily have thought of before, and could help you in whatever strifes you have. sounds like a placebo effect, but i honestly think that's what all religion is. (not to say i don't believe there is some fucked up guiding force behind people we'll never be able to comprehend so we might as well just have faith and things seem to work out) </hippie>

there's a shitload more to astrology than what you read in the newspaper. same concept: if you pick some arbitrary form of chaos (let's say arrangement of the stars) you can take the stories and archetypes (back in ancient greece, people claimed thoughts were the gods speaking) to deliver pertinent advice (arrangement of the stars at birth). there's also runestones, tea leaves and i ching if anybody wants to go into more types of divination, but they're all pretty much the same: a certain arbitrary set of rules, applied to some form of chaos. this creates things holy. hail eris.
