Do you think the Blessed Virgin Mary, Jesus, or the saints would have kept a deck of tarot cards under any circumstances?
I wouldn’t own anything that pertains to the occult, beautiful or not. Just as sacramentals are physical are used for the good, thing that have an obvious occultic use are a means in the opposite direction. Why open yourself up to that?
Yeah, this happens sometimes when there’s no definitive teaching on something, and in this case, on just owning them.
From what I’ve read in research its true. What happened is that they eventually became converted to an occult thing and that is all they are known for now.
I would think unless you use them for divination there isn’t any harm. (course if death pops out of the deck everytime you pick it up I’d go get some advice from some pagans!)
What’s more you can utilize conventional cards for divination. It’s awkward and difficult but you can. So I’m guessing intent here.
I’d say that with Ouija boards myself, if you don’t know what your doing. I don’t like that you have Omegle for Spiritual Beings in the kids section of stores.
As a previous catholic I’d guess there fine. As a current Pagan I think they shouldn’t have to be blessed because tarot cards don’t have little demons in them or something. They’re just a tool used to tell the future. Like I said you can do it with regular playing cards too. They’re all just pieces of card stock unless used otherwise.
You don’t that certain companies might curse their decks or put “good” spells on them and stuff?
I doubt both. I can’t think pointless malevolence is the “bag” of many Pagans. Good spells possibly but magick isn’t some mumbo jumbo words its candle and focus and incense and whatever else the person working the spell finds fitting. Magick is a whole lot of work to be systematically putting on cards. If you’d like to know for sure though I can ask on a pagan forum for you.
