All tarot cards are a manner of communicating with your subconcious and/or higher self
Although I’m all for self analysis and communicating with your subconscious and higher self, and I’m generally quite open minded and spiritual in many areas of my life, I dont think tarot cards have any special powers.
Shuffling a pack of cards and picking some out at random is the sort of process that is too bound by the laws of physics – there’s no way that you will pick out cards that are relevant to you. I do believe consciousness can shape the quantum nature of the universe and influence random events, but shuffling a pack of cards is not *really* random, it just appears so to us because we dont 1) take note of the arrangement of the cards before we shuffle and 2) we dont keep track of the motions our hands make as we shuffle. For the same reasons I cant believe that the subconscious mind shapes the cards that are dealt.
Although I believe it may be useful because when you see a selection of cards you ignore data irrelevant to you and pick up on data relevant to you.
This is the same reason people believe in horoscopes despite the fact they are wrong most of the time.
So I think they can be a useful self analysis tool if you are that way inclined but people shouldnt think there is anything mystic about them
sorry im not being as much as a hippy as i appear on the outside 😉
