Tarot cards are usually read by a fortune-teller, though in these days of New Age Enterprise, anyone can buy a deck with instructions on how to discover your real self and actualize your true potential. Why anyone's fate would be mysteriously contained in playing cards is a mystery; although, sympathetic magic seems to play a role.
For use as a divinatory device, the Tarot deck is dealt out in various patterns and interpreted by a gifted “reader.” The fact that the deck is not dealt out into the same pattern fifteen minutes later is rationalized by the occultists by claiming that in that short span of time, a person's fortune can change, too. That would seem to call for rather frequent readings if the system is to be of any use whatsoever.
There is a romantic irresistibility to the notion of shuffling the cards and casting one's fate, to putting one's cards on the table for all to see, to drawing into the unknown, to having one's life laid out and explained by strangers who have the gift of clairvoyance, to gamble on the future, and so on. The idea of staring at a picture card and letting it reveal the future or mirror the soul is not one that austere critics are likely to find tantalizing, but the thought of such visionary mysticism obviously has its attraction. Centuries of scientific advancement and learning have not diminished the popularity of occult guidance systems such as the tarot, Ouija boards, astrology, I Ching, palmistry, iridology, reflexology, ink blots, graphology, enneagrams, crystal balls, tea leaves, and the like.

It could be a hoax, and most likely is one. Although, I did get a tarot card reading about 6 years ago and the guy was right on the money. It was the first time I met him, and he gave me some very specific advice that never left my mind. What he said would happen did, and I went against his advice. I'm not sorry I did, but I always wondered what would have happened if I listened to him. I guess it all depends on much you believe in it.

BEWARE!
These are the original Egyptian Tarot cards from which so many other Tarot decks derived.
http://www.vopus.org/en/content/view/345/132/
They are sacred and we are not allowed to ask any unserious question(like "how will be the weather tomorrow", "am I beautiful or not", yes-no questions,etc.); the question must be serious(for example "why don't I get a job yet?", "what can I do to solve my family problem?","why I still can't find my soulmate",etc.). Also they must be sanctified before use, not letting others touch them(they'll lose accuracy since they will be charged with your energy), make some prayers before asking the Tarot, asking our Inner Father(the Divine within us to answer our question through the cards- the cards don't give an answer on their own, it's our inner Being that gives the answer through them), we must cense them before asking, sitting in a protective circle and so on.
Tarot cards are very attacked by Demons that is why we need to be careful not to use Tarot cards that you can find at any store, that are just derived from the originals and need to perform some protection stuff before using them. Cards being attacked by Demons=> attacking us too, our minds of course(I remember 2 dreams where one made incantations to my mind and I had to burn the cards).

Personally, I have never had the cards lead me in the wrong direction. I am a tarot reader myself, and everytime I turn to my cards for insite, they lead me in the right direction. The people I read for here in the barracks are always amazed at how accurate the cards are, and yes some parts can seem vague however, the stronger parts are what you have to focus on. If the cards say you will end up with this guy, then you will.

I was told a year ago I would be driving a red convertable sportscar and be in a relationship by Christmas. I'm still single and I drive a tan Ford Escort. It's all a scam.

sometimes tarot readings can seem confusing i had my brother do mine for me he told me he kept getting multiple of sevens and the number 13 and also that i would have major up and downs with this one guy(which at the time none of it made sense) but i did have major ups and downs with the one guy and one of the multiple of sevens revealed itself i still have to wait for the others to appear

Having been to fortune tellers I have reached a point where I don't want to hear what I want to hear nor what I don't want to hear - cause none of it comes true.

honestly, i doubt some cards can rearrange themseleves to tell me my future, when they've only just met me. i don't believe in them, and often times the things you're told can actually relate to anybody, like what you just said relates to me. it can come true, but dont believe it can cause of some factory made cards.
