Is it bad to use Tarot cards and Psychics?

Question

Have you ever had an accurate Tarot reading? What happened?
My friend visited a psychic lady who asked her for alot of money.She told her that someone put a curse on her

Answer 1

No.i don't have to go to them, they are the ones that is cursed, they use witchcraft to seduced people in giving up their hard working money what they had earned. When you go to God, you don't hear God asking you for money, don't you?, then why go to these people when they themselves need help. Once you accept Jesus as your Lord and personal savior, no curse in hell can keep you down, and it is a free gift to accept him in your life, no charge, only believe.

Answer 2

Using the Tarot and psychic abilities is not at all condemnable in the Wiccan religion. I know it is seen as sorcery and witchcraft in early Christianity and thus considered a sin, but I cannot speak for modern Christianity. I have found many Christians and Catholics who do not treat me any different when I tell them that I am Wiccan.

The issue is more on the intent. Let's face it. Not everyone is a good/moral person. The Tarot should not be tainted with what someone chose to do with it. The Wiccan Crede (a moral code of the Wiccan religion) says the following " An it harm none, do what ye will."

In other words, as long it harms no one (including oneself or anything) do what you need to do.
So we are not to be cursing anyone or tricking them into giving us money because that would be harming others obviously.
Yes I have done Tarot readings for myself and yes they are quite accurate. One particular reading hinted at a further education at a great college but far from home. Here I am at Wellesley College across the country from California. It also hinted at trouble in relationships. My boyfriend and I broke up...for the reason that I was moving across the country and long-distance was out of the question.
The Tarot does NOT determine the future. It merely shows the future should you continue as you are. That way you know what to watch out for,or whether you are on the right track.

For the very same reason that the lady asked for a lot of money, a lot of my Wiccan friends are adamant about not charging for readings.
When it comes to psychic abilities, I believe that everyone has them. They just dont know it or they havent developed the ability quite yet.
For the future, simply be careful with these types of things. There are genuine people who can guide you through life by reading the tarot, but there are some predators who are more interested in your money. Make sure its someone you can trust.
The validity of the Tarot is up to you. Some choose not to believe. Some believe. But like other religions- all it takes is faith.
Hope this helps.
Peace.

Answer 3

About your friend, I saw on the news several years ago that there are many "psychics" who do nothing but tell people they've been cursed, and that they need to transfer the curse into large wads of money and then destroy it (when it really all just goes into their pockets). So don't buy it for a second, and tell your friend to not give it another thought (or cent).

As for tarot cards, fortune telling, and all that kind of stuff, it can come from several sources: Some people just make stuff up (as in your friend's case), some people might grab onto random passing thoughts in their head and take them to be truth, while still others might actually receive their "inspiration" from the devil himself.

None of it, however, is of God; so even if it isn't blatant evil, there's really no point to it, since we're not going to get a useful answer from it. God has always used the same method for communicating with us, we pray to Him, and he answers us, either through inspiration from his Holy Spirit (that he will send directly to us, not to someone we need to pay to tell us), through His scriptures, such as the Bible (which are records of blanket instruction given to large groups of His children through His prophets), or from His living prophets, nowadays (see the web page www.mormon.org for more on that).

I hope this helps!

Answer 4

The answers are all around you, and there is really no need for a psychic...especially when there's money involved. Try talking to God. Express your fears and hopes. Just have a conversation as you would with a good friend. God will speak to "you" or "your" friend. However, don't have crazy expectations. God isn't always conventional and niether are his representatives. All will be taken care of. And no, I am not some bible thumbing, right wing, evangelical. Just a dude.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as good luck or bad luck.
There are blessings and curses for obedience or disobedience to God's word. The Bible tells us to have nothing to do with this type of activity. Why bring trouble upon yourself?

" 'Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God. Leviticus 19:31

'I will set my face against the person who turns to mediums and spiritists to prostitute himself by following them, and I will cut him off from his people. 'Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Leviticus 20:6-7

The idols speak deceit,
diviners see visions that lie;
they tell dreams that are false,
they give comfort in vain.
Therefore the people wander like sheep
oppressed for lack of a shepherd. Zechariah 10:2

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. Revelation 21:8

Answer 6

totally nonsense and a waste of money
maybe fun for entertainment
no such thing as a curse exists

predictions can come true if the receiver BELIEVEs it comes true. Like so scared to death about dying on the 13rth of next month that the stress causes a heart attack and person happends to die on the 13th

otherwise it is nothing but a coincidence. these people make easy money from fools who think these uneducated people can see the future somehow. I would rather buy the real stuff and use it as fertilizer

Answer 7

That is a common scam. To say someone is cursed and then ask for a sum of money to ward off the curse. Run away from any psychic who tries that. While some people are indeed naturally intuitive, the psychic field is loaded with scam artists. Whenever money gets involved, motives get murky. A truly spiritual person seeks to serve others, rather than themself.

Answer 8

I think in general commercial psychic stuff it is harmful (a sham). (Just in general... not always).

There are "light workers" who really care about humanity, who come from love, and who are inspired and empowered by God, regardless of religious affiliation.

In general, though, I think it is best for people to avoid psychics until they have developed their own inner light from which they can discern the nature of the person offering Tarot or psychic services.

I think most commercial psychics are phonies, in it only for money, fame and/or power. People will real psychic gifts tend to keep them for themselves, to use in their own life, as a guide... and also to help their friends and family (those they love).

Anyone who talks about curses is obviously not of the Light.

Answer 9

Why didn't she tell you what they meant? Without knowing which spread she used, it's impossible to answer. If she used a Past/Present/Future spread it would say one thing, but if she used a Problem/Current Situation/Best Move To Make spread it would be a completely different answer. There are hundreds of different three card spreads she could have used.

Answer 10

Tarot cards can be an excellent way to focus your consciousness on a problem and all the things you aren't thinking about openly. I feel that they're best used by an individual, although some can read for others, if they are good enough.

Psychics, especially ones who just try to get money out of you are charlatans and frauds.
