    I think when people say "tarot ruined my life" they are saying "I ruined my life with tarot" - if it wasn't tarot it would have been something else. That level of dependence is a personal issue. The cards are a neutral tool, the person engaging with them transform them with intention, perception, and usage.

      I am reading tarot from 22 years and it helped me as selfless friend and life coach. Tarot reader has to stay neutral and say truth at any cost. It is all in our mind. TH-cam tarot reading are general and these are only for information. Always take personal reading for personal guidance like a personal life coach. We attract what we think.

    I’m quitting getting personal readings and watching general readings. I am just going to watch celebrity readings so I won’t get so stuck. Celebrity readings are fun to watch because it’s not my own energy it’s somebody else’s it doesn’t make me as addicted. Right now I just meditate everyday and workout so I can focus on myself.

    "Tarot is a craft. It's something that you practice and get better at each time you use it." ✨Yes! Aside from the stigma and negative connotation that tarot sometimes receives, I also feel that another reason why people avoid or quit tarot is because it invites people to face reality, *do the work* and deal with issues they may have been avoiding. To some, tarot may be a tool that they simply aren't ready for. Great video! Thank you. 🪡🧵

    Totally missed this and thought you had decided not to make it! I agree wholeheartedly when you say "the tarot can free us" so perfectly put! It has definitely done that for me in many areas of my life through conscious use and effort to apply its wisdom.
    Such a good point about the "channeling" aspect. So many people come to things like tarot or magic with a very very basic understanding of what it is and never bother to look under the bonnet or question what they see on a TH-cam video. They go away thinking it's something that it isn't (or doesn't necessarily have to be).
    I saw a video from somebody who said they had quit tarot and turned to the LoA because tarot was a "self fulfilling prophecy" and making him think bad things...I thought, okay I'll wait for your "why I quit LoA" video in a few months...😅

    It’s so important to use common sense. I have seen with some people, that they think everything a reader says on YT is about them. And when stuff don’t happened, they are swirling down in a depression 💔and then they watch reader after reader hoping that it will change. I feel like some uses these readings as a therapy session and that never ends well. And then the video “why I stopped with tarot cards” comes.

    Hi, fellow Tarot Reader here. I appreciate this video and you sharing your point of view with us, I agree with most everything you touch on, I have been reading for 9 years, professionally and for myself and family. I stared my journey with Tarot trying really hard to debunk it as a fake thing, I tried for the first 2 years just giving total strangers readings over the phone not expecting to hit so much on they’re life and stuff, I would be amazed every single time when those people would ask me, how could you know that 😮and I would in turn be as amazed. I agree 💯 with you that it’s a tool for self discovery, not so much for predicting the future, but it definitely can. I have been a Tarot nerd for the entire time, collecting decks and books and everything esoteric. But in the last 2 or so years something stopped me in my tracks, I kept having this weird sensation that I shouldn’t give so much information to a client if it looked really negative, it’s hard for me to explain on here just typing, maybe I should make a response video to this, it was like if I told them hey these things look like are gonna happen and they did, bad or good; my mind was like, Did I manifest that for my client?? Or is it just me predicting it? For example, I had a regular client that I read for, said client knows a lot about tarot and manifesting and all that, but I kept getting the Justice card for her, she owns a medical business so I kept seeing or feeling that something legal was coming up for her, 9 or months later she found herself in court, I had also told her that I always saw that it was a intense situation but that she would successfully beat the case and she did! You would think that it would have made me super happy and in a way of course it did, but it threw me into a rabbit hole of, was that really my card reading prediction or something more of power of suggesting and her subconscious made her look for said situation to happen so that it could live that reality?! I don’t know, but I read a book by Alejandro Jodorosky and he is a Tarot reader too, he explains how when we are given tarot readings we have to be super careful and respectful of the client, to not scare them or give information that would plant a seed in our client’s mind for them to try and make an unconscious effort to try to find it and they themselves make it real, just so it can fit the reading. I have evolved my readings for sure but I have a nagging feeling that it’s a bit more complicated than any of us could imagine. With that said, I love Tarot cause it helped me, understand myself and discover parts of me I didn’t know existed, it helps me understand and decipher the constant why’s in my life. I myself hold myself back when giving information to my client because I know in my soul it’s not the time or it’s just not my place to reveal some things, but it’s so crazy amazing when they come back and tell me more details that actually happened to them and I didn’t mention it to them, but that I definitely saw in there reading. All I’m saying is that I understand where you’re coming from with this video. ❤

    • @AstralLadyTarot
      @AstralLadyTarot  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thanks for your comment, Luna! Tarot can predict, but for clients (and myself, to be honest), I prefer to put the emphasis on self-development. If a client is dead set on having their future read, I give a disclaimer saying we can do that, but we also pull cards for what they can do about the situation - whether the outcome is good or bad. Also take it with a grain of salt. I believe what you're talking about is called self-fulfilling prophecy, which I too am careful with. This is yet another reason for me to focus on giving advice rather than telling people what is going to happen. It happens quite often that when we think something is coming our way (again, bad or good) it happens

    Another good sub for tarot is drawing. you can just start drawing anything without thinking about what your drawing and whatever you draw is what your inner self wants you to see. (It's also a "pic" of what your trip would be like if you was on psychelics) drawing is FLAWLESS anyone can do it even if it's no good. there's a message in it. it's a reflection of you.

    Happy New Year, Anna!
    I've been distancing myself from TH-cam and social media since the holidays.
    Just catching up here and there.
    I feel it's "what you perceive of the "tarot".
    Many who are new to the journey of self discovery and exploring different tools as guidance can be either misled or end up having a disbelief about what they are not experiencing.
    This can cause confusion, anger, and a lack of self trust about results that they may have been expecting.
    The shifting results cycle in/out many times over in one's life.. patience is needed.
    Perhaps having a trusted mentor can be of guidance for those who are doing path work with the tarot.
    Tarot IS open to anyone who wants to understand, do the work, and make changes happen.
    To those who follow these steps (over time) will begin to see the power of their soul taking charge of situations and their Self... this is Self Empowerment at its best!
    To those who quit their practice (whatever that may be),.. that is their choice.
    Some have awakenings later in life and decide to switch belief systems and discard everything that they "thought" was their own path.
    We can't judge them differently, but I do not appreciate when someone pushes their belief or faith onto someone else.
    What may be right for one person may not be the case for someone else.
    Regarding.. evil spirits and channeling forces through the tarot.. anything is possible but it's ultimately HOW the tool is being used.
    If you want to project that energy outward that is up to the user and what beliefs are being placed into their magick work.
    It's late and time to sleep but I hope this sort of makes sense. 😊🌹✨

    yeah I agree we are our own guides, and when people blame tarot or other practices, it seems they aren't really adressing the issue and instead of really accepting their own mistakes they put the blame on those tools. All we do is an exchange of energy, the things we eat, watch, listen to, the people we interact with and even the people we sleep with will have an impact, but if you have a strong power and are responsible then this things shouldnt affect you.

    I saw one of these last year and I bailed before she was done explaining. From my perspective as someone who has studied & experimented with law of attraction in depth since 2012, if someone says “X-Y-Z ruined my life”, it’s based on a misunderstanding of how reality works and on the resulting limiting beliefs.
    I agree that Law of attraction is hugely misunderstood by those who love it or hate it. It’s extremely nuanced and can’t be cherry picked into 5 minute bites and be understood. It’s not complicated but it IS complex.
    I adore tarot as an allowing tool; a permission slip of sorts - like a key we use to unlock a door we have constructed, that leads to information we hold on some level. Dumbo’s feather lol For me, it’s been a great language to learn for self discovery.
    I’ve also done a pick a piles. With a premise of law of attraction, you never have anything to fear, because you know everything that comes is in response, always and only, to your collective state of being which we are always able to control, ultimately.

    Great video, Anna, one of your best. When I saw the title I was like oh no!!!! Not Anna!!! So I was very happy to see it was a critique of that topic. I haven’t ever watched any of those why I quit tarot or pick a pile videos so I’m not sure what happens on them. I love your point that anything that could happen in the human experience can be addressed through the cards. When I read cards there are times when I get intuitive hits that are very different from the traditional meanings of the cards, and often those intuitive hits are quite meaningful to the querent. However, I feel it’s important to also be a student of tarot and to understand the traditional meanings of the cards. Also there’s the whole issue of context, the meaning of the Four of Swords, for example, is influenced by the other cards in the reading.

    Such great points in this video! I think the more people are aware of all the styles and options available from readers they will find what works for them. One of the beautiful things about tarot is how flexible it is to how it can be used. However, I think it is good when readers clarify for their clients that their sovereignty and power is always respected. I think as readers we deal with so many people who are conditioned by religion that they are powerless and sinful and not worthy of tapping into their own power. So they often approach readers with that mindset. Most of or society has been indoctrinated to seek an outward savior and I think tarot was not designed to hold dogmatic energy. Therefore, I always try to turn my clients inward. I was not always like that but I have learned that it is best for me to temper my desire to be predictive. Sometimes predictions show up in readings but I don't set out to predict the things you mentioned. As for demons, I don't even think people know what they are lol. Again, they are coming to readers with their backgrounds that are twisted by media and some religions. Your wonderful!

    The issue is that people often believe they should also possess others' stories. Many are fixated on the past, and if they ignore the true messages intended to aid them from their readings, focusing solely on their ex's actions, they will not evolve. This fixation can be detrimental, leading to an obsession that can ruin their lives. It's not the reader who becomes obsessed; it's the individual seeking the reading. The purpose is to learn from it, yet I've realized many don't wish to learn-they simply want to know.

    • @AstralLadyTarot
      @AstralLadyTarot  4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes that can happen. The only thing I think you missed is that some people read for themselves, that's probably what I meant in that instance. If the querent asks a reader, it's not the reader who gets obsessed.

Ok, I understand... if you cannot control your life anymore and just rely on readings, you have to give tarot some space. Stop watching one video after the other just because you didn't like the message or feel like it didn't relate to your situation. Just get away from the computer screen, make yourself a cup of tea and do something else but please stop blaming demons for this. 😂

    I love Tarot, and I do support readers that do those big collective reads, because they’re having to scan a crowd either for major themes of the moment or specific people. Our souls just crowding up the space 😂
    I also, however, encourage people to have their own deck handy at the same time if they’re going to listen, because everything isn’t for everybody, and it’s all also subject to the readers’ interpretation.
    You made great points. People don’t need to be psychically sensitive to read the cards. Just takes study and practice, which many don’t want to take the time to do.
    I’ve also heard that Tarot is a stepping stone to working with no tools. I can speak without them, but I really prefer having at least *something* tangible to “show my work”. I can explain why I’m saying what I’m saying. Not everyone is going to care, so I’ve moved away from always trying to impose my cards on people that are just seeking my intuition, but it also validates *me* in the moment, before my client has a chance to respond to me.
    Having a deck to work with a particular spirit or being contracted to a few you work with is great, but like you said, anyone can work with Tarot and just talk to themselves if they prefer. People should also do a little more research before calling beings demons, but I digress.

      Yes, cards are a great way to start a conversation/ discussion or a framework for advice. Pointers. Not the same as HARD FACTS. I do always trust the cards, but never "let them do" anything I'm not up for. There's trust in the cards, and then there is just plain blind spots and totally ignoring your own input. This must be why so many people made the "why I stopped" video. Getting lost in this.. it happens, so it seems, but many misunderstandings along the way happened up to that point.

I am reading tarot for a while now, still learning but I love it 🥰 and the more I read cards, the more I love it! There are so many reasons why people say they quit reading tarot and you already gave a lot of good points to why this can be.
    There are so many people reading tarot who don’t succeed (or not always) in reading for themselves because on certain subjects they can’t stay objective and they read it wrong. I know I struggle with that too. But I know it’s not the card’s fault that I misinterpret them. Or that it ruins my life, I know that’s not true either.
    Another thing I thought about, was that yeah… there are also people who don’t like ppl like us coming into our power thanks to tarot, gaining confidence etcetera… and they purposely want to ruin tarot, or try to 😂 because I don’t believe it’s working, so many good readers out there who prove the contrary.

    it seems that the biggest common factor is that many of those same people had a problem of alcohol & drug abuse
    i myself am not 1 to advise against drinking an occasional beer or 2 but if 1 does overdo it the perception of reality can be so distorted that those people will start to have "bad trips"
    This seems to be the main problem with "demons"
    it just seems to be the manifestation of substance abuse & excess
    The real problem that I see with these mis-associations (substance abuse & occult) is that the "solution" to the "problem" that they seem to prefer is always more harmful than good

    I am fairly new to the practice, but from what I see, the whole idea of Tarot "channeling" something and the temptation to use it for divination is frequently linked to the querent's - or reader's - tendencies towards either religious or magical thinking. Some people want their life to be shaped by some external, personified force, either by submitting to such force via religion or trying to control it through magic. But when people turn to Tarot to serve as the medium between them and that guiding force, then at best, the Tarot itself - a commercially-printed deck of paper cards - becomes their true guide. One might as well let coinflips steer their life. At worst, they might in fact invite some external forces to their lives - be it either some charlatan readers or truly "outside" beings, whose existence I would not completely rule out as a skeptical, yet open-minded person. In such case, one becomes a pawn of others' will. Through Tarot, a person does not seem to be revealing anything more than what is already within them - thoughts, feelings, ideas and intentions. And there is no need for it to be doing more in order to be useful. And while I tend to be quite neutral about people using various esoteric traditions to contextualise their readings, I am strongly prejudiced against those who treat it as a medium, an oracle. It feels wrong psychologically, spiritually, scientifically and any other level that you can imagine. And if someone is doing that, if I ever end up doing that myself, then I'd say that it's better to quit.

    I guess reading tarot cards in objective way for a person one on one without people's suggestions and opinions on the matter does work, however collective readings are not always accurate, they may even then convince people somethign that isn't if they don't have a strong enough intuition to know wrong from right about their life.

    "The craft of tarot" Yes! It is a craft, an art, a practice. Love how you put it.
    Agreed, tarot readers/styles are as varied as the numerous decks out there in the world (and even the way individual tarot folks read changes over their lifetime, I know mine has, a lot).
    I'm not a huge fan of pick a card readings (or astrology card readings), if a channel has lots of daily/weekly videos like that I won't follow them because my subscription feed gets clogged up with their content. I guess I also don't find them appealing because I read tarot, so feel I don't need them.
    Don't get me started on the Starseed thing (it has roots in racism and literal Na*zis, super problematic). I can see why people find it appealing but I wish people would think more critically and do their research (or be honest about/own it's origins if they have).

    Whenever people get "addicted" or overly reliant on something, they blame the thing they are reliant on. It's not about that thing, it's about the person themselves. Like you say Anna - tarot is there to empower us, to help us exercise our free will, to understand ourselves better. People who become "addicted" to free readings, like so many people in general, will do anything in their power to NOT have to understand themselves, use their free will, and govern their own life. People will cry "the devil made me do it" every single time rather than accept responsibility for themselves. Of course it's not impossible that there are unscrupulous people out there who try to influence others negatively, but even then, there's something in you that stops you in your tracks and compels you to listen to them. The one universal law people forget and refuse to follow over and over is the law of free will.

    I think these “Why I left Tarot” videos happen is mainly because some of these people may have felt guilty exploiting others. Because to be honest, psychic readers, years ago, were using tarot as a means to exploit the vulnerable and the readers themselves would go down a path of self-destruction. I’m not here to judge either, but that’s just the truth of the matter. And some people flat out can not read the future, whether or not they believe they can or are just straight up lying doesn’t matter, what matters is how you use your platform in combination with gaining an income, which can pull us into the deep trenches of the dark side of capitalism at its finest. It was these con artists who helped to destroy the reputation of everyone who was in the tarot and pagan communities. I mean, It took the pagan communities how many years to change the perspective of tarot, just here on TH-cam?!? With learning and reading tarot, comes a great responsibility and it can be misused just like anything else. This is a very in depth and controversial topic and it’s important to have it. Not including those people who have converted to Abrahamic religions and feel the need to decry “Tarot reading”, like Doreen Virtue did, but in a sense, must she have felt that she’d make more money exploiting others through Christianity? Because I sure as heck don’t trust her and she’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about.

      I think Doreen Virture gets too much shit for changing her beliefs, by the new age community, when a ton of new agers flit from one religion or belief system to another with no true sense of spirituality or commitment. I also don't believe she crossed over for any nefarious reasons. She's been lying very low in terms of monetization and seems genuine in her path. I think I'm one of the few who never really was offended by her change or felt threatened in anyway with her not wanting to produce new age media anymore. Honestly, I'm happy for her, she seems like your average good person who just had a change of heart and is really living that reality.

    Before watching video I just want to say I agree. I may however be going through some delusions now if there is another psyop attempted, but if so they won't really be able to pull another psyop because you are not supposed to know if you are in a psyop or even suspect it. If this is an attempt to create a second psyop again (I thought I realised it but maybe there is an attempt to still make me fall for the possible second psyop) it is attempting to make me think the first psyop was for other reasons, to somehow use certain emotions against me to make me think something else is going on. They know my emotions, so some things could be used to make me mentally suffer. I am not going to take any tarot card readings blindly anymore, except that some have been helpful and genuine, at least one that I watched yesterday that was very genuine. But I find that almost all videos are deceiving me, at least if tarot readings I am getting now last few days are deceiving as well. But there was one tarot reading yesterday that was very genuine and helpful so that one was definitely real. However I am honest when I say that tarot card readings on youtube helped giving me a psychosis but I still know it was for a higher reason as I discovered a multilayered reason for this happening. And I broke free from the psychosis after a realization.
    But if it can come to the point where you randomly scream about reptilians among people in middle of the night outside and other stuff and accusing your parents and others, then yeah, that's literally a psychosis (even though reptilians are real and reptilian aliens played a role too imo although little did they and various things like military, cia and even youtube who promoted certain tarot content using algorithm to trick me know that my spirit guides was playing them. From a higher perspective they were puppets on a string including not only some reptilian aliens desiring to mess me up as well, but also reptilian egregores and yahweh/demiurge/satan egregore who all of them was puppets to my spirit guides and other spirit guides orchestrating this game for learning/experience for me and others involved. The ones I mentioned who was opposition had an agenda so they would just have tried and pulled something off anyway, which is another reason it makes sense that my spirit guides play them instead to defend me. And the whole play was meant and my spirit guides helps me with discernment.
    They do things sometimes apparently to make me stronger cus some spirit guides, at least mine apparently, become a bit dark at times like putting on a dark persona and decieve me because they consider it helpful. Anyway, I am very aware this itself sounds strange but realizations like this broke the psychosis. So be cautious to not blindly swallow stuff you hear. Because if a second psyop is attempted now or if there is some other stuff really going on and not a psyop, well they still won't be able to pull a psyop if that's the case cus I am always asking the question if there is an attempt to make me fall for another psyop. If not another psyop, then I still hope the tarot cards are lying about some very negative things they are saying right now, cus that shit sounds bizarre, although not as bizarre as when they said I was in truman show, but it is still bizarre and not fun cus it plays with some very deep emotions and my heart. But luckily, I am very sovereign so nothing can break me down. It all happens for a reason anyway. This is helping me in some way. I am sovereign.

    I think tarot combined with the reader's talent/intuition advises each of us about what we need to learn. I want to enjoy the diversity of tarot art, and to get ideas for how to approach a situation (which I may or may not use in the end), but not for a judgment or divination about my life. If I don't make use of the "advice" or perspective, it's part of the many, many choices I make in my life, but maybe I was given some guidance that could help my decision making. It reminds me of a navigation system in a car; if you don't follow the directions, it adjusts and gives you a different route you might or might not choose (I once had one direct me up an unfinished on ramp to an unfinished freeway--yikes!). A lot of religion is fear based, but I believe no system should be fear based (who would want a god you fear!).

And in today’s society, no one wants to hear they have to (shadow)work on hard things that aren’t easy to resolve.

    I think Tarot is often snatched up by young people who are acting out and/or think they're dabbling with the dark side, and then, guess what? It becomes negative in their life. If you're an addictive personality, if you are impressionable, social media is absolutely structured to ensnare you. They watch the TarotTube folks who are selling things and people who ARE actually promoting other uses for the tarot, and who ARE using tarot as a gateway to other practices, and they get sucked in.
    I really think Tarot takes maturity (not necessarily age, just maturity). Knowledge of the world, security of yourself. If you are a Christian who is pursuing Tarot (and many of these folks who are posting "Why I Quit" video are Christian), you have to be really spiritually aware and spiritually mature enough to say - from moment to moment - I like this presenter, I can learn some things from this person, but this part of what they're saying is not for me. THAT takes a great deal of self-discipline and spiritual discernment... and many people NEVER mature enough to develop this! LOL Frankly... some people SHOULD quit it. If they can't separate the tool - the cards - from the culture and the addictions, it probably is better for them to stop, and to get away from posting about it. Unfortunately, they are like people in a breakup after a bad misunderstanding... they feel they have to trash the cards to everyone they know.... I appreciate you as one of the mature voices online whose content I value. As a music teacher, I see so many parrallels between these worlds. It is an art - you said craft, I say art - and no one can play every piece of music.

    I’ve seen these videos popping up too. It’s very often people who don’t understand how tarot works, and they are dabbling in a lot of new age, wiccan stuff and don’t really know what they are doing. I think they watched “The Craft” or some movie. They get an unusual energetic response and it scares the bejesus (pardon the pun) out of them. 😂 And they drop tarot like a hot potato. Those 18th and 19th century high magicians were doing something. Shouldn’t a person find out what exactly they’re doing before diving in?
    As for tarot, most of it is actually christian art. But these folks don’t really understand their christian religion, so that mishmash of dabbling scares them badly. Have you read Meditations on the Tarot? It’s a deep-dive into Christian Hermeticism. Heck even Jodorowsky’s work is deep work.

      Interesting! Yes, a huge part of these videos it’s saying come back to Jesus. You can read cards and be into Jesus if you want to. I don’t think I’ve read Meditations, did it change your view on the cards?

      @@AstralLadyTarot Each chapter is based on a major arcana card, and I’m only on the Chariot right now. The anonymous author is generally accepted to have been Valentin Tomberg, which pretty much got me interested in how esotericism was spread by Papus and Lévi to places like Russia, before the Golden Dawn folks and the RWS. It’s full of explanations of the differences between sacred magic and personal magic. It ties a lot of things in tarot back to religion. But more importantly also about what these alchemists, hermeticists and magicians were actually trying to do. I’d say, it HAS changed how I look at the cards, but one can do a shallow read or an incredibly deep dive meditation.
      These guys saw something in the cards, a similarity to the ideas they were knocking around, and pretty much used the cards as symbolic notebooks. Which kinda surprises me how popular the RWS became, because A.E. Waite and Pixie were trying to hide things in the artwork, while Crowley was trying to expose and open up everything to noninitiates. I’m more interested in what these people believed they were trying to do.
      I just haven’t had the time yet to dig into Dion Fortune’s writings (especially about the magickal Battle of Britain) either, but from what I understand, these magicians believed in the existence of non-corporeal entities (what we may commonly call demons?) and often attempted to call, summon or bind them, in order to have them do certain things for them, bestow certain powers and the like.
      Christians are kinda supposed to believe in such things, but not mess with em. But Christians don’t always listen because humans are a proud bunch. In my armchair evenings research, there are many many stories of humans who believe they can control these powers that from all definitions are older and smarter than humans (and don’t necessarily mean us well). In addition, these parts of the Bible aren’t really taught in Sunday school, plus people aren’t given a christian/religious background at all anymore… and so when someone comes along with “let’s channel the spirit of xyz or deity xyz” they’re all gungho until something happens and they are shook.

    I guess the algorithms suggest the videos you dislike and not what you like or search for, as well tarot readers are not 100 percent accurate and can accuse you of things now and in the past that you didn't do. Is still our choices, not of others, they should be just reading energy not saying you should live a certain way or be a certain way they deem the best, but what we want to do with free will, to go for our own desires regardless of what they suggest to us, they shoudl jsut tell us the matters of situations, is on us what we want to do about them and to follow our emotions.

If I watch a video with some guy like maybe a government ex employee that claims to be a whistleblower exposing stuff like various alien races etc. I won't take a lot seriously, but I know some is true, but a lot of lies, maybe most is a lie. An ex goverment employee calling himself a whistleblower.. yeah right. And I am to just believe that. 😂

    This reminds me of little church girls who are afraid of everything. Needing to be special, the most exciting thing is, I did this thing even though jeepers said not to. Oh jeez, save me from thing you said not to do! I escaped from a cult that would've had me believe cardboard cut outs are "evil". I don't think everyone who is in a major religion automatically uses thought stopping language or behavior, but it seems to be a thing that was common when I was in that culture though. Also "prosperity preaching" is a common thing. It's similar to the misuse of the secret. Saying if you're not rich it's because you don't have enough faith. Jeepers said it was harder for a rich man to make it to heaven than to go through"the eye of the needle". Not an actual needle btw

    I think they are channeling something. The pick a card readings are just too amazing. But a lot of times the channel isn't reading the third party and it's not considered ethical in some circles to get a reading on a third party. So if I ask about someone else I will often end up with a reading on me instead. This could be misleading if you are not realizing . Ultimately you are susposed to focus on you.

    what i felt was tarot card used to give me readings almost everytime what i was thinking like assuming, you know you start to imagine like for example one day i was thinking maybe i will marry a celeb and from then on next 6 month i g9t same results for any reading for future/love/husband/partner/married life anything!!!!.. same with all the other time weather related to love, money, career, friends, family any! Fucking thing!!!
    You imagine something then cards give believable examples signs then you start thinking feeling it and then Manifestation takes it place and bcs of unclear thoughts the Manifestated result takes a bad toll on you.
    Literally! Stop watching these stupid cards, you want a fucking confirmation from surrounding energies... just flip a coin, that will either cheer you or disappoint but not destroy you....
    The truth is you know in your gut what you want, what is good and not! Work really hard nd smart for that... if you get it great if you don't take it as a sign...
    Cards leads to bad/wild unnecessary imagination or Manifestations...
    Just talk to people who know you, tell them you feel demotivated or sad they will help u realise/remind you and give positivity
    Or...watch siccess stories real ones! Read biographies/interviews... watch right things!!!
    Worst part: as soon as you want to stop reading/watching them, something good that was said in tarot will happen, that will make you wanna watch them...
    Stop misleading yourselves...
    Really tarot readings are....that....bad...

    When you are a psychic and you use the cards to communicate with your guides then it is a tool for the reader. If that's how their vision comes through, and that's how it works with me, I have. an enhancement of my visions when I use the cards. I don't need them, but I use them for guidance so that I can distinguish what I am experiencing.

    I did quit tarot for many years. I got rid of all but three decks they were sentimental and I couldn't part with them. I quit bc my readings were so scary accurate and I predicted major events in my life that were not good but beyond my control. I came back two months ago. My new cat was so sick and had two weeks to live and the tarot guided me to treatment that saved her life! She is still alive! God speaks to us all through tarot. He loves having a talk with us and guiding us to our best life. On another note when ever something trends on utube it's not for our benefit. Why would utube want to inhibit us from using tarot? Bc utube doesn't want us to talk with god. Utube wants us to spend money on crap. Nothing trends organically in utube. ❤

    Listen.... I am a God fearing woman. I have faith in God. I believe that there are fakes out there but I also know that there are truly, gifted people that God gives divine power to. Isaiah 9:6-Isaiah prophesies that Jesus Christ will come as a baby; Jesus is described by several names. Micah 5:2-Micah prophesies that Jesus will be born in Bethlehem. Matthew 2:4-6-The scribes knew that Bethlehem was the prophesied birthplace of the Messiah. Matthew 2:13 cites Hosea's prophecy in Hosea 11:1 that God would call His Son out of Egypt as foretelling the flight into Egypt and return to Israel of Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus. This prophecy came to Jeremiah in 605 BC (Jer 25:1)-Nebuchadnezzar's first year, and the beginning of Judah's phased exile to Babylon. It specifies that Judah and the surrounding nations would serve the king of Babylon 70 years (Jer 25:9-13).. We could go on and on. People often fear what they don't understand. I do not listen to all of them, it's obvious that some of them are not real..To be honest I've kind of listened to them for entertainment because I just never felt a connection to any of them. Until about 6 months ago. I wouldn't watch her all the time. Just every once in a while I would think" Let me go see what she's talking about today. And I SWEAR every time I felt moved to listen to her reading, I BS you not, she read my entire life at the time! It was crazy to me! And I enjoyed her realness. She is a young African American woman with a little son that would pop on every once in a while. I not only enjoyed her, I was astonished by her EVERYTHIME I watched her. And today I went looking for her. To be honest as much as I like her< I can't remember her name! And she has removed her channel! SMH! God GIVES US ALL GIFTS! Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's wrong or evil! There are people out there that make EVERYTHING evil or wrong. I am an Empath. I feel everything around me. Probably why I stay to myself a lot. I have dreams in color that I remember when I wake up. And they ALWAYS come true. No one believes me until I dream about them or around them. Then they do. I was made to feel "Crazy" as a child nd evil as an adult.... Naw honey. I'm blessed. Maybe stop being so JUDGEMENTAL..... wink wink

    Well, I mean ,a TH-cam tarot reader that does 2hours+ daily readings for thousand of viewers will eventually say a lot of silly things and therefore needs "spirit guides" to take the responsibility for the silly statements. It's a grift.
    I used to follow the "light workers" scene for entertainment purposes, where intuitive ppl would channel "the pleadean counsil", "archeangel Michael" etc. It was pretty funny when in the middle of a channeled meditation about claiming your sword ,the archangel would urge you to vote for Obama or something.
    Strange how all these trends come from the USA where the hardest form of capitalism and a bad educational system leave little room for ethics and critical thinking.
    Finally, as the tarot reading combines Meaning (it explains the situation a person is experiencing) with Chance , I can see how it can become addictive like gambling (and I think every tarot reader has dealt with that addiction at some point). Combine all this with a charismatic reader or grifter and we get tens of thousands and even millions of views translating to sweet financial profits.
    My advice to readers would be to try and make your readings more "everlasting" more essential and not ephemeral.
    Also, I believe that there should be a new category developed, an art form of story telling through tarot cards that would replace the "intuitive" readings.

      "[1] Tell me, O Muse, of the man of many devices, who wandered full many ways after he had sacked the sacred citadel of Troy."
      -this is the first line of Odyssey, an epic poem from 8th century BCE. Here we hear Homer invoking a Goddess (muse) to come and say the story. Homer was a poet of the oral tradition, he claimed that these were not his words he was just a medium.
      This is common practice in the oral tradition of fable making /story telling that creates a dramatic effect on the audience, who is expected to sense the presence of a god AND saves the performer from any liability or offense a listener may take.
      Now ,many intuitive readers are charismatic performers and talented story tellers. With the help of the tarot cards they make up a story as they go along and the story can get complicated and sophisticated, they know how to manipulate the audience, with insinuating questions ,well timed pauses and coloring of the voice. They can built up the tension using the imagery and mystery of the cards and they can make you trust them by sharing little secrets and quirks about the tarot that you won't find in the manuals etc.
      Live performance story telling has been a part of every culture since the most ancient times. And now ,with the help of the tarot deck it is making a comeback in our modern times. We all love it and it can become an art form instead of a grift.
      The use of tarot in live performance story telling has many advantages like: being able to tell a story about the here and now ,(without needing to reference some ancient context or hero that everyone knows about, in order to create a personal connection with the members of the audience) AND being able to use the energy / ideas of the audience as the story gets created along the performance -this is amazing! ...one would only have to know the general story a tarot deck is describing in order to spontaneously make up a new version of a certain part of this general story, in every performance -like a jazz saxophonist improvises a new version of a tune based on a certain song of the repertoire etc etc.
      Disclaimer: I am not saying that tarot reading is just story telling. Here I am only talking about a certain type of tarot reading that seems to be very popular.
      In conclusion: "live performance" "art form" "oral story telling" are some subjects that a professional tarot reader might want to consider in addition to their much more important deep study of the Tarot spiritual discipline.
