Tarot cards were really made for playing a card game!

1. There are no rules. It's highly personal just like a person's taste in music or how they think and act. 2. Science is extremely useful. I'm a biology major and love science. Tarot and science aren't related in any way shape or form. 3. You did this one :) 4. This goes back to tarot =/= science 5. You pulled this long ago. I am in no way cornered :)

This is a copy of the Rules of Astrology, I have just changed references to astrology into tarot because I think it fits so well Rules of Tarot Rule 1 - Tarot readers can't agree on the rules Rule 2 - Slag science as a distraction Rule 3 - Divert the debate to something else when the going gets tough Rule 4 - Avoid real supporting evidence Rule 5 - Get personal when cornered Rule 6 - See rules 1-5 It didn't take you long to apply apply rule 5.

That reader was a fraud, so obviously every reader is a fraud? Where's the logic in that. My readings are never the same from person to person and I never charge. It's an insult to put that con artist in the same category as people who actually know what they're doing. The reader your friends went to and you have a lot in common. You don't care, you think the tarot is full of crap, and are inadvertently full of crap yourselves.

The cards fall the way they fall. Whether you believe the cards or no doesn't change the fact taht the cards are going to fall in a way to provide clarification. However, since you are a mediocre reader at best you will never provide the insight a true reader can. Why are you so focused on the "incorrect"? Shouldn't it be about improving our lives? If tarot helps someone realize their choices and do better who are you to say it's wrong?

If you really don't know what you're doing is merely cold reading dressed up as fortune telling that is your problem. I had two friends recently go to a tarot reader, one recorded the reading. Guess what, the second reading was the same, almost word for word. This really annoyed my friend who paid money for that tripe. Don't get me wrong. The counseling and conversation are probably what the client needs to hear, it's just not based on honesty.

I was hoping you weren't going to say that. So you describe a path that a person may or may not choose and your out is you don't have to provide anything specific so you can't be proven incorrect. That is playing the odds and cold reading at its best. I do cold readings as a party trick and people are often impressed.

So really, once you realize that it's not a fortune telling tool you realize that the predictions aren't "crap". The future isn't set in stone. For someone so set on "lolscience" and "lollogic" I'd hope you'd be smarter than to buy into predetermined destiny.
