Hello

hoping you all are well and in good health

i've been reading cards and using other divination tools since my childhood. Not like today where the tarot is everywhere to be found. I secretely brought my first pack.

The thing is, sometimes i feel afarid of the cards and have been very secretive about my gift because the bible says we should not be involved in such practices. I was also told that you cannot become a true reader unless you receive the tarot as a gift.

I get to a certain phase in my learning and either feel compelled to give the cards away or leave them in some open space where others will find them and make use of them.

At first i felt guilty and would dispose of them discretely. a little later, because tools of divination have supported me in times of need, i've left them (amomgst other places) outside of librarys, under bridges, even in the supermarket so that others could make use of them.

A few people know that i give readings but many of my closest friends do not. I hope that joining this community will allow me to share myself more openly with others and not feel ashamed of what i do.

How do you feel about the tarot and have you ever left your cards in any strange places?

I look forward to reading your replies...bye for now

Hello and Welcome to MysticBoard lapicrystals!

First, welcome to the community and we hope you will have a long and nice stay and make a lots of friends.

For your questions.
I think it's nice when you recieve Tarot as a gift, but you do the same job with a deck that is bought.
In my opinion, it is not the deck that is the important thing, but the reader.
In order to give good readings, you must have a great understanding of people and a very good intiuation.
The cards can be read in several ways and since you felt guilty you might have beleievd you did "dark magic"

Sorry to say, but it can be used for "dark magic".

B U T that is the choise of the reader, it's he/she that use the cards the way they self see fit.
If you start out looking for the "negative" you find it...if you start looking for the posetive...you find it.

So if Tarot is used the right way it can be a tool to enlighten peoples mind and give them new goals.

So if you use it for the light....don't be afraid of it....if you use it for the dark....burn them
