The Bible strongly condemns the practice of spiritism, mediums, occult, psychics, etc. (Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13). Horoscopes, tarot cards, astrology, fortune tellers, palm readings, séances, etc., fall into this category as well. These practices are based on the concept that there are gods, spirits, or deceased loved ones that can give you advise and guidance. These “gods” or “spirits” are demons (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). The Bible gives us no reason to believe that deceased loved ones can, or would even want to contact us. If they were believers, they are in heaven, enjoying the most wonderful place imaginable – in fellowship with a loving God. If they were not believers, they are in hell, suffering the un-ending torment for rejecting God’s love and rebelling against Him.
So, if our loved ones cannot contact us, how do mediums, spiritists, psychics, etc. get such accurate information? There have been many “exposes” on psychics. It has been exposed how a psychic can gain immense amounts of information on a person through ordinary means. Sometimes by just using a telephone number through caller ID and then an internet search, a psychic can get names, addresses, dates of birth, dates of marriage, family members, etc. However, it is undeniable that psychics sometimes know things that should be impossible for them to know. Where do they get this information? The answer is - Satan and his demons. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 tells us, “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” Acts 16:16-18 describes a fortune teller who was able to predict the future until the Apostle Paul rebuked a demon out of her.
Satan pretends to be kind and helpful. He tries to appear as something good. Satan and his demons will give a psychic information about a person, in order to get that person hooked into spiritism – something that God forbids. It appears innocent at first, but soon a person finds himself addicted to psychics – allowing Satan to control and destroy their life. 1 Peter 5:8 proclaims, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." In most cases, the psychics themselves are likely deceived, not knowing the true source of the information they receive. Whatever the case, and wherever the source of the information – nothing connected to spiritism, witchcraft, astrology, etc. is God’s intention for us as a means to discover information. How does God want us to discern His will for our life? Simple: (1) Study the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16-17), (2) Pray for wisdom (James 1:5).

In all seriousness, do you really believe your future can be predicted by looking at pictures on a deck of cards?
Want to test it out? Go to 3 or 4 different people who do this for a living, without informing them you've already been to someone else, and have each of them do a reading for you. Its my prediction that no two will match.

it is a matter where ignorance is not bliss.
the act of reading cards, along with many other, shall we say sinister, activity was and still should be secretive functions. genuinely gifted people prefer to be incognito because common knowledge of there craft, so often, leads to misunderstanding and unnecessary trouble.
as to my belief, acknowledging that this thing exists is better than trying to ignore it. although it is nothing that i would devote my life to. Shakespeare wrote "there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy." i'd say that packs a pretty big clout. what do you think?

No. Tarot card readings rank right up there with Ouija boards, crystal balls, palm reading, and psychics. All BS, fun and fantasy.

I don't believe in tarot readings personally, because it makes no sense to me that the shuffling and rearrangement of cards would offer any insight into real life.

No I do not. I was watching Borat the other day and the tarot card reader said that his dead wife was saying hello but the "dead" wife was really just an actress who was "dead" in the movie and she did not mention the wife until he said she was dead. Just an example of why I don't believe in them...

Yes, I believe that they can be correct. With the help of Satan, a person can learn to see/read the future.
It should be avoided though.

Yes people do tarot readings
No they don't work. All they do is tell you general stories that you could apply to about anyone.
