Tarot, or gas meter?

ScottishStottie · 11/07/2020 00:07

My first thought was a reading during mass...
Catholic childhood...

Shoxfordian · 11/07/2020 00:08

A book?
Tarot is nonsense

I'll go disembowel one of the chickens.... Hang on...

For your wedding?

WorraLiberty · 11/07/2020 00:14

Festival?

Kust · 11/07/2020 00:25

Tarot. @WorraLiberty I'd expect more from you.

I'm in a shit place and wanted a tarot reading.

@Shoxfordian I agree, but right now I'd be happy with the lies

Just make sure you don't pay anyone for that

Smallsteps88 · 11/07/2020 00:28

Tarot is fake. You’d be better off getting some proper support for whatever you’re going through. Counselling?

Whatdoyouthinkaboutthisone · 11/07/2020 00:30

@Kust - Have you had tarot readings before? What did you get out of them?

Can you access counselling services to help you in the long term?

Kust · 11/07/2020 00:32

I'd never pay and I really don't believe in it but someone does so I'm just simply asking if anyone has anything to say to me.

I’m sorry you’re in a bad place, but lies from an internet stranger are not the answer to anything. Flowers

www.free-tarot-reading.net/free knock yourself out OP

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 11/07/2020 00:36

OP, trust me on this - tarot is a load of utter bollocks. I know, because I used to do tarot readings. I never charged for it so wasn't scamming anyone, but it was complete bollocks. It's telling people what they want to hear, not what they ought to know. I'm really sorry you're feeling down, but a collection of cards isn't going to change anything. Flowers

Can you distract yourself with something lighthearted and silly instead?

Smallsteps88 · 11/07/2020 00:38

I really don't believe in it but someone does so I'm just simply asking if anyone has anything to say to me.

This makes no sense. What do you get from someone else who believes saying something you don’t believe? Confused

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 11/07/2020 00:52

Would something like this: www.16personalities.com/personality-types be of more help to you OP?

Lifeisconfusing · 11/07/2020 01:05

All you need even if you don’t believe in god she’s very good at motivation

CarrieMoonbeams · 11/07/2020 01:14

Sorry you're feeling low OP.

I think tarot card readings can feel useful in that they can make you feel like "the universe" has some plan and / or logic for whatever it is you're going through.

Can you maybe post on the relevant thread about what is troubling you? There are some very wise and kind people on here who may be able to help. Flowers

I quite like www.facade.com/tarot/

I got into Tarot at university, through some friends. All studying maths and hard sciences!

It's all random fluff (probably), but I find sometimes (when I'm confused/upset about my life, or just the state of the world in general) it helps me focus on the right questions.
The randomness, I think, helps breaking deeply held preconceptions.

A CBT therapist would probably do a much better job, but they're not as easy to access...

And you think disrespecting people that believe is the way to get a free one? I don't do tarot readings although I had one (for free from a lovely lady once) but if I was a reader I'd tell you to fuck off.
Anordinarymum · 11/07/2020 05:50

Tarot never lies. It's up to you how you interpret what you see/read. It's that simple.

I find it helps me decide what to do when I have a problem. It makes me sit back and think instead of rushing headlong into a situation

Yesitsthethruth123 · 11/07/2020 06:27

If there was a tarot reader on here why would you expect it for free?

Sheenais · 11/07/2020 06:37

The Tarot is telling you that you are ready to move on to a more fulfilling series on Netflix. You've been inspired in some way, and you need to let go of unhelpful flatulence that is preventing you from making a clear, realistic plan and pursuing it. The exciting news is that if you work on these things, the Tarot shows great accomplishments as the outcome. The Magic card shows a substantive personal transformation in which you come into your own as an extremely gullible person. As the reversed 9 of Cups speaks to the issues raised by the 8 of Cups, the Ace of Pentacles gives more insight into what to do about the reversed 7 of Pentacles. Aces are exciting because they refer to the fact that Tarot is complete and utter bollocks.
The Magician has the power to make you ululate. Pretty exciting!
I hope this reading has been helpful.

Blessings,
