    Do you guys belive in Tarot reading?
    I had a reading and I thought it was way too accurate to be bullshit.
    It had many details...

    Well, on one side, I'm an atheist.
    On another side, I'm very curious and inquisitive by nature :grin:. And I've also heard some people claim that they had readings done for them and it turned out very accurate.
    I guess one can only wonder.

    Sort of, I have too many friends that do Tarot card readings to be against them

    Well, I read the cards myself, so my opinion is a biased "sure".

    However, I see it as more of a method of "brain hacking" than anything paranormal. In a typical layout, your mind is looking to make connections between the cards and your life. Seeing an archetype layed out in front of you will bring things to the forefront of your mind. A useful tool for contemplation, but far from ooky spooky in my opinion.

    No. It is pseudoscience; though, the readers often seem psychic because they are very good at giving generic answers and things that the listener mistakenly interprets as being unique.

    In one way, no because I don't think anyone can predict the future, but I don't want someone to give me a reading because I don't want to know my future. So, if I'm thinking like that, I sort of do. The same thing goes with palm reading.

    It's also really annoying since my sister does readings and she has always wanted to perform a reading for me and don't want any part of it.

    Its called "cold reading".
    This is one of the tricks magicians use too!
    Cold reading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    By the way, James Randi offered 1,000,000$ for anyone that can prove he has "super-natural" abilities.
    Many have tried.
    All failed.
    So there.... why would anyone give up 1 million if they only need to prove they are not charlatans?

    I do believe in Tarot Card Readings because I am a Tarot card reader myself :slight_smile: I enjoy doing it.. I may not be the most experienced but I have had some pretty accurate readings. Tarot card reading is just another hobby of mine :slight_smile:

    I read Tarot cards. I've had some readings go well and some that didn't resonate with the client at all. Personally, I like them as a form of therapy as opposed to fortune telling.

    Yeah it's not actually possible for cards to predict the future...like as in basic physics prevents that. To predict the future 100% accurately you would need a supercomputer bigger than the actual physical size of the universe because of storage limits.
    So yeah I think that tarot cards actually telling the future is kinda bullshit.
    Someone posted a link about cold reading which is basically the truth.

    Let's say you're a tarot card reader who comes across someone who's clearly depressed, down on her luck, and unattractive. She asks "will I find love in the next two months." Obviously she's depressed enough to resort to a tarot card reader so she probably isn't leaving the house too much right now, and so she won't meet anyone, also she's unattractive so that unfortunately plays against her as well. So the answer is probably gonna be no. But anyone could tell you that Tarot cards have nothing to do with it.
