How much stock can you put into a tarot reading?

Question

I had my palm read and my cards read for me last night.
It was strange all the stuff that this lady was able to tell me about myself in the past and she didn't even know me.
She told me some pretty point blank things about my future.

Does anyone believe in this stuff? If so, why? Have your card readings ever come true?

Please tell me the story.

Answer 1

the problem with card readings for the future is that they give you the future of the person and path you are on this moment in time, you walk out the door and you can take an alternative path and the reading is useless. pasts are much easier to deal with , but they dont change, whereas futures do, so i put my cards away, and gave up on it. Blessed Be

Answer 2

I read cards, and I also have gotten some really truthful reading done on myself. The first time I got my palm read he told me that something life altering would happen when I was 25. I got pregnant and married at 25. The best card reading I got was from this little old lady who reads from the back of her house for donations. She told me I was pregnant with a boy (it was true but the doctor had told me at that time it was a girl. They later went and checked me again, and told me boy) and that it was a large baby. She also told me my husband and I would have hard times, but stick them out b/c my husband was a good man, and that we would do alot of moving. All of that came true, and my husband joined the Army, lots of moving there!!

I read the Sacred Circle tarot, and they have been the most accurate cards I've ever had. They are beautiful to look at, too! None of my other cards give me such a wonderful feeling. Just don't ask me to read on a Wed., that's my no-magick day. I get bad vibes on that day and will not read tarot to save my life!!

The cards can point to where things are going as things stand. Make different choices and it changes. I do my own cards and most times they are right on. Of course I have the advantage of knowing myself and what my circumstances are. When my daughter was pregnant, I kept seeing the hanged man, which can be a person in limbo, and my daughter had to have an emergency C-section because my granddaughter was stuck. This was also a month after she had gone into labour.
I have heard the tarot cards referred to as a sophisticated Rorchack test, like the ink blots, and this is quite true. Because the symbols and pictures touch a chord in most people, they quite easily pull things out of our subconscious.
We have most answers we seek in ourselves, but have a hard time recognising them. Other times they can open a linc for someone to see into another. They are a good guide, but don't try to live through them. For example; end a long and successful relationship because your partner doesn't have the hair colour the card reader told you your "soul mate" would have. I have heard of someone doing this.

Answer 4

I use the tarot cards to help me make sense of things going on in my life. There have been many many times the cards have been right about future events or even things in my past. Many a creepy time no matter how many times I shuffle, the same cards will come out. Now I don't believe the cards are set in stone I just view them as a better way to listen to myself.

Answer 5

My nanna was a card reader I saw her work and when she told my dad that he would be a father to another son everyone thought she was crazy because my mother was well into her 50s. Well my father was asked to be god-father to a boy who's father died. SO I got a little brother, he was with us throughout my teenage years.
When my nanna died her cards were given to me. I know many people do not believe and it is easy to make fun of. But When I read the cards I FEEL. My husbands grandmother was in the hospital and we were called to get there. She was in a coma. Before we walked out the door I layed out my cards, and a feeling of peace went through me and I knew she past. I could not tell my husband that he would never see her alive again. By the time we got there she had past away.
So yes I am a believer BUT you have to know that there are people out there that take advantage. So be careful and remember you are in charge of your own destiny. Cards are a GUIDE. They do not tell you the future.

Answer 6

I've read cards for twenty years and I do believe in it, although I try to tell people that it's their own choice whether they follow what the cards say. I've had many people come back to me and tell me that what I've told them has come true. It renews my faith in myself. I would dislike giving anyone the wrong road. I've often found that if you trust your reader then you are far more open to accept the reading. I also believe that your reader did tell you some pretty accurate things about yourself. Many people can tap into the Collective Memory and can use that for their own usage. Just remember that it is still your decision to follow or not, what you were told. Choices still influence an outcome.

Answer 7

they can be very true. but it was true when she told you. this does not mean you are not changing your future right now. the tarot card are supposed to open your mind to new ideas. they can tell you things that may happen. but you can always change it without knowing.

blessed be.

Answer 8

I usually use the tarot for insight on a particular situation, not as a roadmap for my life. And there have been times when, in hindsight, readings have been very accurate.

Answer 9

Yes I am Wiccan and I use those things as tools for my religion. People tend to think we are evil and full of crap until they "need" something or want a reading. We use these things everyday for messages and guidance from our ancestors, guides and the Divine!
Light and Love!

Answer 10

I used to be really in to it. I still think astrology is cool, but I wouldn't alter the course of your life according to your reading.
