3. No, that is childish. There is nothing bad or evil about Tarot cards.
4. there nothing more than pieces of card with pictures on them, we make our own luck my friend
5. No, they are for entertainment purposes only.
6. No! Don't use them! You should be coming to my church and paying tithes instead Look at the monkey
7. Fortunetelling has always been about guess work, you guess a person's future and get money for it. It's one of the lower classes of occupations right there with prostitution and astrology.
8. My mum uses tarot cards and knows what im thinking it's really scray but i'll tell you this. Tarot cars... yes they work but it's evil magic, it's something the devil uses to pull you away from god. I'll tell you a story. My mum read the cards and it said she will meet a guy tomorrow and marry him in 4 weeks.. so she did meet this guy and yea he's nice and all, but then it was almost four weeks and she thought she HAD to marry the guy cause well the card said so. so stupidly she did and he's the crappiest step father ever. and she divorced so you see.. the cards can lie about your future. but then you follow what it says because you think it's going to happen anyway There not bad luck but they're capable of wrecking your life.
9. No
10. No. Ting! Next, please.
11. As far as Artwork some of the packs are really awesome, As far as divination uses , I think they are more of a trigger for the mind , Are they of the Devil---No- Can one use them for Evil Puposes, Maybe, but so can the bible. Make up your own mind. Just choose Good over Evil.
12. No, they're not evil. However you will probably have lots of "bad luck" if you base your decisions on them instead of using your brain.
13. yes.. play with fire and you get burnt..
14. they don't give you bad luck, if you use them it invites satan and his demons into your life. because it is a form of witchcraft spoken of in the bible.
15. yes they can give mean, and i mean MEAN paper cuts.
16. No, they don't invite bad luck into your life. They are a divination medium used by many magical practitioners and take years to master. Any bad luck she may have had is probably coincidental, unless she does other work and hasn't been clearing her space up. No demons or Satan(s) required, or included.
17. Rosas No they are not evil, bad or negative in anyway. Sadhara
18. BS- the cards are fine. They're only bad "luck" if you become dependent on them or use them to go against your better judgment. It's the people who read and are read for that bring anything bad to it.
19. No, tarot cards are not evil, and no, they do not give you bad luck. Tarot cards were created in the mid 15th century by adding a set of trumps to a standard pack of playing cards. These extra cards took as their theme a Christian triumph procession, hence they were called trionfi, meaning triumphs and from which we get our word trumps. It was the invention of tarot that marked the invention of trumps in card games. And that's what they were created for, games. For 350 years, they were used for nothing but games until some French occultists, ignorant of their origin, invented myths about them and gave us taromancy. For about 100 years, these myths were limited to France but early in the 20th century, some British occultists introduced the myths to the English speaking world, where there was no rememberred history of the games. Here, the myths found a new and profitable home. I am happy to say that the many games of tarot are still played throughout continental Europe and there are those of us trying to introduce them to English speakers - so, if you have a pack, you might like to try these out.
