My Complicated Take on Tarot Cards
Q | Is using cards always bad? For me it feels that cards can be used to communicate, this does not need to be unclean spirits. The question in this I have is, can I know who I'm talking to.
Why would god not use this same tool?
A | Where do we even begin with this one? It would be a loaded question even without the mouthful that’s being spewed in that Reel. Phew. I’m exhausted already and have only begun typing.
I have never had an affinity for Tarot cards. The energy surrounding them always felt off to me. A deck gifted to me in ninth grade stayed in my possession until my last move in 2018. For the majority of those twenty-eight years, the deck remained on my shelf, untouched. Over the years, I’ve had my cards read a few times, but the whole experience always felt out of sync with my energy regardless of who was doing the reading.
This is all to say that I’ve never felt the excitement or connection to Tarot that I know many experience.
