Tarrot cards

[Mudball]

I have never believed in such arts. I was at a fayre and there was a free tarrot card stall run by a friend. So she offered to look my cards up. She is trying to learn it, so had her little book to read out from.
It was all for a laugh. Anyone into this?

 

[Dando]

Had my cards read years ago, just after I split from my daughters mum.
It was scarily accurate

 

[bobmac]

Absolute rubbish in my opinion.
I put it in the same class as psychics, mediums and faith healers.

 

[KenL]

Got to be absolute nonsense surely. That and star signs, speaking to people who are dead etc are all rubbish.

I have heard people make a fortune out of it.

Not long after we got together, the missus went to a medium. Someone in her work had organised it for the girls.

She came home, and said you need to take your car to the garage asap - the medium says there is a problem with one of the back wheels and if you don't get it seen to, you will have a bad accident. I laughed, but then she told me stuff the medium told her, like her grandma's name, favourite flowers and a strange saying she always used.

I was a bit spooked, so went to the garage the next day. i told the lad the story and he put the car up on the ramp. 10 minutes later, the story had got round and all the guys in the garage were coming for a look at me and pissing themselves laughing. Of course, there was nothing wrong with the car, and I never had an accident.

Felt a right clown!

Absolute nonsense, just like any other supernatural and religious nonsense.

 

[Ethan]

A useful way of identifying rather credulous people, nothing more.

Jeez, why did you tell the mechanic the reason you wanted the wheel checked??
Indeed, why did you have the wheel checked. ? ?

I recommend the Aleister Crowley Thoth tarot card deck of Egyptian wisdom.
Next best would be the Angel deck which is perfect for an angel reading. Only snag is you could communicate with someone else's guardian angel and it will all be wrong.
In the Donald Trump deck guess who the joker is.

There was a great Derren Brown programme where he was employed as a ‘medium’ by another ‘medium’ who admitted that Darren Browm was the best at this sort of thing (basically fooling the credulous) that he had ever seen. Really fun to see the look of shock on the guys face when Derren told the audience that it was just a trick and no ‘magic’ or ‘spirits’ were involved.

Got to love fortune tellers/mediums/psychics that advertise a show that they're doing encouraging people to book tickets. If they were that good they'd know whether people were going to attend or not.

And then they cabcel due to unforseen circumstances

I predict my future by looking at my .

I am able to predict that I won't need another one for several hours.

Absolutely amazing how often I am correct.

Tarot cards are very similar, but you end up listening to someone else's .

Only if they play their cards right..

Did you start this thread just so you could use that joke?

you forgot the "hit 300 yards with my secret move" merchants.

I am quite happy with not being able to see round the corner of life, much preferring to live just what I can see laid out in front of me. Life can get too confusing and difficult if I employ ‘iffy‘ thinking I.e too much ‘if only’; too much ‘what if’.

 

[SocketRocket]

There's no future in it.
