Discussion Do you believe in fortune telling, tarot etc?

[Forever Sleep]

I love the look of tarot cards. I've always found them slightly dark magic, taboo too- which makes them fascinating to me.

I bought a couple of decks a while back- in the hopes that they would somehow give me direction. My Nana felt she was psychic- she did seem to have good intuition sometimes. So, I suppose I also hoped I would have the gift somewhere I could tap in to... Apparently not.

Maybe some people here do genuinely believe or, have experienced things. For those who haven't- do you wish future telling or future guidance felt more reliable? Do you wish you could gaze into a crystal ball and see something clearly? Or pick tarot cards that consistently made sense. Wouldn't it be cool if the appropriate cards glowed or something?

For those with a gift who've tried- do you actually see things in a crystal ball? I imagine all I'd see were the floaters in my eye balls.

No because there isn't any proof that it works and it can be easily explaind by psychology

Yep, I believe. I have studied a lot of religions, and the paranormal. Mostly because I have had "the gift" most of my life. I do not read tarot ... Or palms ... Though I have purchased a few books on tarot because I think it would be nice to learn one of these days.

So, yeah, I'm a believer ... And practitioner -- I often joke that if I'd been born 250 years ago I'd have probably been that old crone who lived WAY deep in the woods with all her animal friends.

I believe so, even though I might not really understand either of them haha. Usually, when I'm not feeling very stable emotionally, I draw tarot cards to give myself some comfort. I once found a website that interprets natal charts, and I noticed that it seemed to accurately describe all the negative things, but I didn't really feel that the positive ones were true.

I'm sorry to disagree. I don't believe in tarot cards or fortune-telling. I respect those who do, but the idea of predicting my future with cards doesn't really give me much peace of mind. As for religions, I don't have a preference. I believe there is "something" (which some call God or by another name), but I'm neither Catholic nor Protestant nor anything else

If fortune tellers can see the future, how come they haven't played the lottery and won? They should see the numbers for next week's drawing, right?

no I don't believe in anything supernatural , magic , afterlife , reincarnation, soul spirits , computer simulation, fate destiny, multiverses , other dimensions nothing .

I only believe in things that can be tested or for which there is a lot of physical or retestable evidence

also things that can be logically reasoned from first principles

Nope never have never will. No disrespect for anyone who does. Luck doesnt exist imo

Just event that happen and a cause and effect.
