9 reasons for and 1 against

A Preface You Shouldn't Miss Reading

There are many versions of what fortune telling is. Perhaps what is written below will be somewhat dry for your perception, but I ask you to see, hear and feel between the lines so that you still realize something important about fortune telling. If you want to immediately know the reasons why you can and cannot guess, then they are given below, and you can immediately go find out. Here's a little prelude.

You are ready? Imagine that, through inspired and inanimate objects, signs and natural phenomena, you determine the origin of some process of reality, more often than not a consequence, using not cause-and-effect relationships and logic, but your own or others’, internal or external images, sounds, sensations - the nature of which is difficult to explain; it seems chaotic. We also call this method prediction, premonition, clairvoyance, intuition, knowledge-outside-the-mind. We call the source or field from which images, sounds and sensations come the collective unconscious, free ether, astral plane, Akashic chronicles.

We are completely unable to explain with our minds how we receive special information and why this particular information and not another. Therefore, there are many hypotheses: psychological, philosophical, esoteric, physical and various... ical about a person’s ability to know non-rationally, bypassing reason, about what happened, is happening or can happen in his destiny and in the life of another person. I am not a supporter of any of the hypotheses, because I consider them to be parts of one truth, the truth of which is hidden under a thick veil.

Fortune telling is not the same as psychology, although it is also the science of the soul through its direct perception. A psychologist may have excellent professional intuition, but it is not a fact that he will be able to read cards or tell fortunes on coffee grounds, as does a real fortune teller on the outskirts of the city, who received this skill from her great-grandmother. Yes, a psychologist can use, for example, tarot cards in his work, but he will interpret them through the prism of the knowledge and skills acquired at the university, indirectly, while a mantic (soothsayer) does this directly. I use psychological things, but this is more part of my etiquette for dealing with a client (questor) than the fortune telling process itself.

Fortune telling is often confused with magic, whereas this is a rather passive process of perceiving reality - it is reading, observation, when you do not try to change, influence and manipulate what you perceive. A soothsayer can use magic things with cards, runes and other predictive tools - what is now commonly called corrections, the formation of events, or, perhaps, do without them, receiving information directly from the source.

Fortune telling is an independent discipline, which the ancients also called divination - the art, the gift of fortune telling, based on the fact that the fortuneteller was inspired by a higher divine essence, and comprehended revelations that were not available in the ordinary state of consciousness.

Imagine two lovers on a picnic, kissing two hundred kilometers from a huge black vortex. They don’t yet realize that they could get caught in a hurricane, and they enjoy each other. But...having recognized a certain premonition within themselves, if they took a closer look at the behavior of animals or insects, listening to the singing of birds, they could detect changes in the environment and avoid danger in time - very logical, isn’t it? Now imagine that you are at a point where you can observe both the lovers and the approaching storm - you see much more widely... this is what fortune telling is... and what is available to the diviner.

Just a little more, and you will learn 9 reasons to guess, and the only reason to avoid it...

The man has been guessing, guessing, and will continue to guess. This is an axiom. Our whole life is a guessing about what our and other people's future will be like. They guess everywhere where they need to make a forecast and calculate the consequences of their actions or even intentions: economics, politics, ecology, medicine, psychology!!! But the forecast cannot be based only on logical, mathematical, technical calculation - there is also our instinct (ask any businessman, surgeon, politician - how do they make a decision in the event of a choice?..), this instinct, feeling pushes us, contrary to logical arguments , go in a completely irrational way to achieve a better result! And everyone has this feeling. In fact, the soothsayer differs from the questioner in that he more easily notices the connections between all events and phenomena.

We predict every day the day before, having conscious, but more often unconscious, expectations of what it might be like - and they come true. It makes sense that the fortuneteller simply reads your subconscious attitudes - and announces them to you. Bringing to the surface your expectations about your future. But there is also a sense in the fact that he will see more widely (as in the case of lovers and a hurricane) - and this is the miracle that we are all trying to explain - but there are not enough concepts :).

We know that we will wake up in the same place, go to the same job, call the same friend, until... something happens, some external circumstance that changes our lives - then we begin to believe in fate. Although...before that, there were dreams or signs, premonitions that we pushed aside and completely ignored. After all, being fed up with the same thing could be the cause of change, but how do you tie it all together?

As is above, so below, but as is within, so without. The result of fortune telling is not something unchangeable, it is not rock or fate. This is just the most suitable option for the development of your future, made on the basis of observation of what was and is now. And at the same time, you are as independent and free as you allow yourself. Once the fortune-telling has come true, you are not free yet, believe me. Miracles happen when fortune telling stops coming true, because you have chosen other paths. This is a symbol that you are on the path of deep personal change. And then you just stop guessing: great freedom comes with great responsibility, unfortunately, not everyone is ready for this yet.

9 reasons to guess!

1. Lack of change and change.

Often stability and monotony stimulate people to turn to fortune telling to find out what will happen new in life. If you applied for this reason, and stability can also be such when there is no positive stability, then ask for advice: what will renew and refresh your life.

2. Search for truth and truth.

The presence of deep internal conflict. No comments here, but if you are lost in what is real and what is fake in your life, what is true, what is a mask - this is your reason to turn to fortune telling. Then find out the hidden sides of the situation and everything that is not obvious - the truth is somewhere there.

3. Doubts about something or someone.

Your lack of self-confidence is one of the most important reasons for fortune telling. Moreover, it often disguises itself as uncertainty in another person. There are a lot of layouts that help you find a resourceful state and approach to yourself, the same “Mission” layout.

4. Preparedness or unpreparedness for the event.

The reason is the fear of change and everything new and incomprehensible. She is the opposite of reason #1. The important thing here is to pay attention to the internal and external influences on you and your life and what the future holds.

5. Clarification of details or whole perception.

The reason is a special filter for the perception of reality. For example, you see 150 pine trees: is it a forest or trees? Peculiarities of perception lead a person to fortune telling, which either specifies the circumstances, answering your questions: who, what, when, how, where; or generalizes the picture: why, why, where, making it more complete.

6. Understanding and understanding the situation.

The reason is ignorance and uncertainty, lack of skills or competence in some matter. By expanding your perception of life through fortune telling, especially those points that symbolize your opportunities, as well as obstacles, you can know more and have a large arsenal of tools.

7. Internal lack of freedom.

The reason is addiction and irresponsibility. Freedom is the courage to remain yourself under any circumstances. Often a person expects direct guidance to action from fortune telling, but this is the wrong approach; it indicates a removal of responsibility for one’s life. Here it is important to perceive fortune telling as a way to get advice that you may or may not use - you are the master of the situation.

8. Personal safety.

The reason is fear, but this time it is not associated with the expectation of something new, but is a reaction to past experience, most likely to mental and physical trauma. To avoid repetition, a person turns to fortune telling. Then the causes and roots of the problem are sought.

9. Situation of choice.

The reason usually lies in an imbalance between reason and emotions. Or the habit of constantly following a logical path or, on the contrary, an overly emotional approach. Fortune telling then involves looking at alternatives and future options.

1 reason not to guess!

So, we come to the most important thing - the result of this article. The first and only reason why a person is unlikely to guess when He is truly happy. At such moments, the desire to know the truth about yourself or others, experiences and anxieties, fears and suspicions about your future - dissolve in the endless joy of your being, and there is no point in guessing, for the reason that there is none either.

Those who begin to master the art of tarot must clearly understand that there are favorable and unfavorable days for fortune telling. On unfavorable days, there is a high risk of harming yourself or the fortuneteller, because the results will be distorted.

Tarot reading should be done on auspicious days

Periods when you can or cannot tell fortunes using tarot cards. At what age is fortune telling allowed?

The question of when you can’t tell fortunes with tarot occupies the minds of those who began their communication with cards quite recently. And in order to avoid controversial or dangerous situations, it is necessary to study several periods when guessing is prohibited.

Some layouts should occur only on certain days of the lunar calendar, so their implementation should be clarified in the interpreter. Many beginners are interested in the question of whether it is possible to tell fortunes on a full moon, and the answer is given extremely clear. You can tell fortunes on a full moon; this day is most suitable for magic. The only contraindication is the presence of an unfavorable time, which falls together with the full moon.

Inspiration has arrived and the fortuneteller feels a favorable period for fortune telling - an alignment is necessary. At this moment there are no prohibitions.

There is such a type of fortune-telling as festive. These days, tarot reading with a certain layout is recommended. But such fortune telling is harmful on an ordinary day, and in some interpreters it is strictly prohibited. Such fortune-telling includes the periods of Christmas and Christmastide.

The full moon is favorable for fortune telling

On which days is fortune telling allowed?

Not a single calendar or tarot reader will give an unambiguous answer to the question about the appropriate day of fortune telling for the fortuneteller. But there are days when fortune telling is possible and the meaning will not be distorted. Our ancestors also determined the most favorable time of the year, which was called Epiphany fortune-telling. During the period of Christmas fortune-telling, you can perform all kinds of layouts without the risk of receiving unreliable information.

According to lunar calendar, the most favorable day for fortune telling:

• New moon
• Calendar start of the year.

It is on these days that the fortuneteller receives the most complete interpretation of the alignment and the most truthful information regarding his problem.

But the best day of the year for tarot is Midsummer Day. On this day in the old days, they predicted the future based on various objects and events, and some also used tarot cards. The fortuneteller will receive the most accurate prediction for the whole year.

But the presence of certain favorable days of the year when fortune telling is allowed does not exclude the possibility of using cards at the moment when they are really needed. If a fortuneteller needs advice, then you can get it. The reliability can be judged by the absence of prohibitions on performing layouts.

Ivan Kupala - the best day for fortune telling

At what age to start fortune telling and when is tarot safe?

Those who pick up cards for the first time wonder whether it is dangerous to tell fortunes with tarot cards and how to protect themselves. All interpreters have a clear rule that cannot be broken: fortune-telling is prohibited for children under 13 years of age. Children should not pick up cards or go to tarot readers for readings.

All these rules are connected with the fact that the fate of adolescents is a blank page in the book of life, which he fills out independently, without the participation of cards. It is difficult to predict the fate of young people, but even more difficult if the fortuneteller is young.

But if such moments arise in a person’s life when it is impossible to move on without wise advice, then age fades into the background. And the main danger for a fortuneteller at a young age lies only in the uncontrolled craving for obtaining secret knowledge.

Such behavior will confuse the fate of the young man and considering it in the future will not be an easy task. That is why in each case, fortune telling should occur after a detailed analysis of the problem.

Why can't you guess?

Many people firmly believe that fortune telling is a forbidden ritual from which nothing good should be expected. Most often, people who are deeply religious are confident in this. In the Christian religion, everything related to magical rituals is performed against the will of the Lord, and a churchgoer should not succumb to these weaknesses.

But for other people, this issue is a bone of contention, that is, it seems controversial. Sin is an act that represents an event alien to the morals of society (theft or murder). But fortune telling itself is not such an event and does not carry such a negative note in its meaning. That is why it is a sin, but a sin to a lesser extent. And churchgoers consider fortune telling to be a sin on an equal footing with adultery or theft, and claim that entire generations of fortune tellers must pay for this sin.

Tarot readings should be done infrequently and with caution

At its core, fortune telling is harmful only when abused, like medications. If you guess every day or do it uncontrollably, then you will not know the truth. If abused, the fortuneteller risks miscalculating his fate and losing the chance to improve his life. His life will go according to an unplanned plan and the situation cannot be improved.

Cards can harm those individuals who have a hard time accepting negative predictions. Health problems will play a cruel joke and only this will reveal the negative properties of tarot cards.

On what days should you not pick up cards?

There are many days on which you cannot guess, because the prediction will be inaccurate and you can harm yourself, or the ban is imposed for other reasons.

Representatives Orthodox Church They have a negative attitude towards all manifestations of magic and appeals to otherworldly forces, therefore fortune telling during church holidays is strictly prohibited. But as an exception, holidays are added to the permitted days Christmas fortune telling, because this tradition has been going on since ancient times and has survived more than one generation of church ministers.

The most important day on which you absolutely cannot pick up cards is Sunday. The custom of not turning to magical help came to us from ancient times. In church legends this day is described as a non-working day and dedicated to God. All believers spend this day in repentance and prayers to the Almighty. For those who do not consider themselves believers, fortune telling on this day is allowed.

Women during menstruation should not do a spread. During this period, a woman is most vulnerable in her energy protection and can harm herself and close relatives.

But this does not mean that there are no fortune telling that are performed during this period.

You cannot resort to fortune telling at a time when the fortuneteller arrives in a bad mood. Fortune telling in a bad mood will negatively affect the fate of the fortuneteller and distort the meaning beyond recognition. The mood when working with cards is better neutral, then the fortuneteller will receive a true prediction.

Do you want to know the events of the near future, but are you afraid to guess for yourself? In this article we will talk about whether it is possible to tell fortunes for yourself using Tarot cards, the consequences of this procedure, etc. Enjoy reading.

Why don't some tarot readers tell fortunes for themselves?

If you are a practicing tarot reader, then telling fortunes about yourself is quite commonplace. A person gets to know his own inner world more deeply, develops intuition, learns to better feel the chosen deck of cards - all this allows a professional to gain the necessary experience to help other people.

For those who are just beginning to learn the secrets of the Tarot and do not know all the features of drawing up layouts, fortune telling is not recommended. First, you should study all kinds of stumbling blocks, and only then take on the practical part. Careless handling of cards and failure to comply with basic safety measures can cause irreparable harm to the health of the fortuneteller and his family. Be vigilant and attentive.

Is it possible to read Tarot readings for yourself?

An affirmative answer to the question “Is it possible to tell fortunes on cards for yourself?” refers to a situation where the operator wishes to ask the deck for advice/question. The Tarot will tell you the truth if you are impartial about any fortune-telling results (favorable/unfavorable). When the arcana feel your mood, this will reduce the possible risk of a “reverse strike” to “no”. Please take this into account as you prepare for your Tarot reading. Correct interpretation of the results obtained is a step towards a better perception of the selected deck.

Features of fortune telling

Before you start telling fortunes for yourself, you should take into account how to interpret the meanings of the dropped cards. It is advisable to write down all the results obtained in a notebook - this will speed up the process of understanding the interpretation of the Major and Minor Arcana.

A purchased deck for independent fortune telling must be charged with its own energy. To do this, take the cards in your hands, hold them between your palms, then take out each sign one by one, carefully looking at its image. This approach will help in developing an individual interpretation scheme and will teach you to perceive current events from a new perspective.

A correctly posed question is a guarantee of receiving an accurate answer. Don't build florid, ambiguous sentences. When working with cards, only a clear interpretation is important with the possibility of obtaining an unambiguous answer “yes” or “no”.

Attention! A novice tarot reader needs to get acquainted with the Tarot using simple layouts (1,2,3 cards). This will simplify the understanding of each meaning of the Arcana, allowing the fortuneteller to adapt to the energy of the deck

Store cards away from prying eyes in a special bag/box made from natural materials. Choose pastel shades of the color scheme.

Benefits of fortune telling

• Convenient and economical. You can ask the cards for advice at any time without resorting to the help of a fortune teller, thereby saving time and money. The exception is the nuances described below in the article.
• Confidentiality guaranteed. Due to the nature of the situation/issue, it is not always advisable to be frank with a stranger. Independent fortune telling with cards will eliminate the need to share confidential information
• Opportunity to gain experience, constant practice. Each layout is an additional skill in handling Tarot cards. Thanks to the experience gained in working with the deck, the fortuneteller gets the opportunity to try out new layouts

Mistakes that beginners make when telling fortunes to themselves

Here are examples of common difficulties that beginning tarot readers often encounter.

• Lack of objectivity. When doing fortune telling, the fortuneteller is advised to get rid of strong emotional experiences and the desire to receive a definite answer to the question asked. In both options there is a risk of distorting the results or obtaining false information. Prepare for the presence of any Arcana in the layout
• Correct perception. The traditional meanings of the Arcana may become boring over time, and the interpretation of the dropped symbols will become commonplace for you. Make it a rule to regularly change your deck, moving from simpler to more complex ones.
• Never buy complex decks right away - this can make it difficult to interpret the signs correctly
• The emergence of dependence on cards. If a fortuneteller realizes that he is turning to the Tarot even for a trivial matter such as “what should I wear to prom – a white or a blue dress?” - this is a warning sign. You have not developed independence, but have become dependent on the deck - loss of the ability to make the right decisions, fear of making a mistake without the help of cards. We recommend that you stop guessing for a while.
• Poor mood/well-being. Are you in a depressed mood or sick? Put the cards aside until better times - they will sense your energy and refuse to give the correct answers

When should you not read the Tarot for yourself?

If you can’t get the mood for independent fortune-telling, it’s better to ask experts for help. You cannot guess only if you are tempted to tune in to a certain result - this is fraught with incorrect information.

Practice has shown that Tarot fortune telling should not be done on Friday, Sunday, or Monday. Schedules on Monday may have a pessimistic connotation. Tarot readers recommend fortune telling in the evening/night time, since daytime predictions are sometimes erroneous.

Let this information help you get rid of doubts associated with fortune-telling. Follow the updates on the website. See you again!

Fortune telling on anything is programming a person for one version of fate. Although a person has many such options for fate. “Knowledge of possible future options” always deprives a person of peace (true happiness) and he begins to adapt to what he believes. Fortune tellers voice only the version of fate that they see, and a gullible person begins to program himself precisely for this version of fate and remember it often! A wise person will never allow anyone to program him for a limited version of fate!

An immoral person performing fortune telling can do a lot of harm to a person, so if you have already turned to fortune tellers or tarot readers and this did not have dire consequences, perhaps you were just lucky and found a moral person. But people you can trust with your life and destiny are rare. Most fortune tellers now do more harm than good.

Even experienced tarot readers admit that a tarot reader, when answering a question posed to him, should not be categorical in his statements, especially if it concerns negative aspects of a person’s fate. In turn, the querent (questor) must understand that any situation (no matter how hopeless it may seem) has There are several options for one’s development and the choice is always up to the individual.

Poets about fortune telling:

A. Pushkin in Onegin: " Christmas time has arrived. What a joy! Windy youth wonders, For which nothing is sorry, Before which the distance of life Lies bright, boundless; Old age wonders through glasses At its gravestone, Having lost everything irrevocably; And all the same: hope Lies to them with its childish babble."

Alexander Sergeevich caught the main thing - the deceitful childishness of fortune telling. And the image of old age, having lost everything, but still wondering at its grave board, is reminiscent of a lost player at roulette, who bets the last gold on “zero”, and, of course, loses. Why is it harmful to guess? The question is childish and funny for a believer, but, alas, relevant for a half-believer or even a non-believer. Here's why. Many probably remember the story of M.A. Bulgakov " dog's heart“and the wonderful phrase of Professor Preobrazhensky: “Here, doctor, is what happens when a researcher, instead of going parallel and groping with nature, forces the question and lifts the veil: here, get Sharikov and eat him with porridge.” The same is true in the life of every person, when instead of going parallel and groping with God’s Providence (or for those who do not understand this language, with his destiny), he lifts the veil over the future: then he receives his man-dog, his Anubis in the form of their distorted, mutilated fate - fulfilled fears and realized phantoms, or, on the contrary, the fragments of their unfulfilled hopes.

What are the dangers of fortune telling with tarot cards?

By resorting to fortune telling with Tarot cards, you connect to the energy of the unknown worlds of the astral and mental, which requires a lot of energy.

How can fortune telling with Tarot cards be dangerous?

Only a few can handle Tarot cards without danger to themselves, so using them independently without protection can be fraught with the following negative consequences:

1) Insomnia;

2) Loss of strength;

3) Stress,

4) Depression;

5) Emotional disorders;

6) Strong outflow of energy.

The thing is that during fortune telling, a special portal opens, energy channels from which information comes. AND If you don’t close them after the end of the session, you can cause yourself a lot of trouble and misfortune. Your resources will be devastated, and your energy will begin to fade.

Questions for fortune tellers and tarot readers:

1) If the future is bright and kind, then why does a person need to know it in advance if it comes by itself? You can die from excessive emotional joy or fall into pride. And if something unfortunate happens in the future, why live in sadness and grief until that moment, think about it and program yourself for it? This can lead to mental insanity or schizophrenia.

2) Are you aware of the consequences of your actions? Do you realize that a ready answer or prediction is simple mental programming!! Whatever you suggest, they will expect and reorganize themselves for sale!!!

3) Do you realize that fortune telling connects a person with the entities of the astral and mental world and can cause possession or incorporation of entities that will act through you and feed on your emotions?

4) If you see that a person is passionate about cards and likes to predict a brilliant destiny, but does nothing for this, then you may wonder why such a prediction is even necessary?

5) What does the proverb mean: “To guess on cards is to guess your fate!”, “Whoever guesses often will never know happiness in life!”, “Whoever likes to guess will never dream of love!”

6) Did you know that the one who knows the true future never speaks about it directly, does not give exact figures and never asks for payment for it. What comes from Above from the Light forces is obtained freely and given freely. And what comes from the mind or dark forces always requires payment!

7) Do you realize that if you cannot live a day without cards, then you have become dependent on entities? And it is no longer you who control the cards, but the egregors and essences of the cards that control you. Playing and fortune telling with cards often leads to enmity and hatred. It is also a big waste of time and distracts people from real life. internal work over oneself, from the practice of prayers, mantras and from the remembrance of the Almighty. This opinion was reflected in the fact that another of the French kings issued a decree prohibiting playing cards during the day, under pain of arrest and punishment. This decree is evidence of how passionate the French are about this game. And this hobby reached such an extent that they even neglected their work for the sake of playing cards. The punishment established by the French king was not just short-term imprisonment. Added to this was a brutal beating as a warning to others. However, these orders did not eradicate the custom of playing cards. The only result was that people began to secretly play this game. From the books of Maadun Rashid “Al-Ghadaya al-lahi waltarfih” (pp. 185-187).

What is the meaning and secret of the origin of the cards?

Of all three hypotheses for the origin of cards (Chinese, Egyptian and European), the most convincing is the European-occult one, according to which cards appeared in Europe in the second half of the 14th century and are associated with the Jewish Kabbalistic environment. In this case, everything falls into place. It is no coincidence that the suit “cross” is also called the word “club”, while in the Jewish tradition, unclean food is called club food. Accordingly, the suit of “crosses,” blasphemously symbolizing the Cross of the Lord, is designated by a word testifying to the Jewish abomination of the Cross. The peaks symbolize the Spear of Longinus, which pierced the side of Christ (John 19:34), which is hinted at by the very name “peak”, that is, a spear. “Worms” refers to the gospel sponge on a reed: “one of the soldiers took a sponge, filled it with vinegar, and put it on the reed, gave Him to drink” (Matthew 27:48)

Another interpretation is also connected with the Passion - this is the pierced heart of Christ. Finally, the “tambourines” symbolize the nails with which Christ was crucified. It would seem, what do diamond-shaped “diamonds” have in common with nails? The answer is clear to those who have seen the heads of old pre-revolutionary nails: they are square, not round, like modern ones. Medieval nails were like that. There is also a Jewish trace in the name “trump”, which is a corruption of the word “kosher”, which denotes “pure” food, ritually acceptable for Jews. Let's look at the names of the cards. The most significant card is the joker (literally “jester”). But in the Italian version he is called “the devil” and originally on his staff he carried... a human head. The word "ace" is of Polish origin, from the Low German "devil". It is significant that on the ace card in the 16th century. They often drew... a pig - an animal, to put it mildly, not kosher from a Jewish point of view. It is possible that the “lady” is a blasphemous image of the Madonna; the fact remains that biblical heroines - Rachel, Judith, and so on - were often depicted as ladies. Finally, David and Solomon were often depicted among the “kings.” In contrast, among the “jacks” (the word “jack” literally means “servant, serf”) was depicted the knight La Hire, nicknamed “Satan.” It is no coincidence that cards soon began to be subject to bans and persecution due to their obvious connection with blasphemy and evil spirits. The occultists themselves recognize the occult nature of the so-called. tarot cards, or Egyptian cards, and the connection with them of ordinary cards.

Holy people about cards and fortune telling:

According to Islam and the teachings of the Prophet Mohamed, fortune telling leads a person away from the Truth. “O you who believe in Allah, His Scriptures and His Messengers and who obey His Truth! Wine (everything that intoxicates and poisons the mind), maysir ( gambling), stones for making sacrifices to idols and arrows for fortune telling, and fortune telling on stones and cards - all this is an abomination from the deeds of the shaitan. Abstain from these evil deeds to achieve happiness in your next life and the bliss of heaven hereafter. future life! (Quran 5:90)

The most common type of fortune telling before Islam was “azlam”. Azlam was carried out by lot. On one of the three arrows the inscription “yes” was made, on the other “no”, and on the third nothing was written. A person who wanted to tell fortunes about the completion of a particular deed (this was often done by shamans) mixed the arrows and then chose one. If an arrow came up with the word “yes” written on it, he would make it happen. If an arrow came up with a “no,” he abandoned the idea. If an arrow fell out without an inscription, the fortune telling began again. In the Koran, it is strictly forbidden to engage in azlam, and this sin is equal to worshiping idols and drinking wine: “O you who believe! Verily, intoxicating drinks, gambling, stone altars (or idols) and divination arrows are the evil deeds of the devil. Avoid her, perhaps you will succeed.”(“Maida”, 90).

Saint Basil the Great: “Do not be curious about the future, but make good use of the present. For what benefit is there for you to anticipate the command? If the future brings you something good, it will come, although you did not know it in advance. And if it is sorrowful, why languish in sorrow until the end? Do you want to make sure of the future? Fulfill what is prescribed by the Gospel Law and expect to enjoy blessings.”

St. Ephraim the Syrian: “Beware of making potions, casting spells, telling fortunes, making storages (talismans) or wearing those made by others: these are not storages, but bonds.”

St. Gregory of Nyssa: “The lover of flesh in present life has a desire to look into the future in order to avoid troubles or achieve what he wants. Therefore, so that people do not turn their gaze to God, the demonic nature, full of deception, has invented many ways to find out the future: for example, fortune telling, interpretation of signs, divination, calling the dead, frenzy, influxes of deities, inspiration, cards and much more. And if any kind of foresight, as a result of some deception, is recognized as true, the demon presents it to the deceived as justification for the false proposal. And the demonic trick points out every false sign to those who are being deceived, so that people, having departed from God, turn to serving the demons. One of the types of deception was the deception of ventriloquists, who believed that their sorcery could attract the souls of the dead again into this life.”

Saint John Chrysostom: “Do not voluntarily resort to fortune-telling, but if you are attracted to this by others, then do not agree... A person always wants to know the invisible, especially wants to know in advance about his misfortunes, so as not to fall into confusion due to surprise... But if you listen to fortune telling, you will be unworthy of God’s favor and mercy, and by doing this you will prepare for yourself numerous disasters.”

People's reviews:

1) Review from a fortune-telling lover: I'll start this topic with my life experience. It was a long time ago, I saw a tarot card from a friend of mine. I buy the “Russian Tarot” deck and go to my friend, who by that time had attended several schools of esotericism. The first thing she told me was: " It’s too early for you to study Tarot, it won’t bring any benefit, but the negativity that exists will only stir it up even more and nothing good will come from it. The first step you must take is to learn to observe the laws of Unity, Spirituality and Love, to behave in accordance with these laws." And I began to engage in moral preparation. In order to survive in our time, it is not enough to accumulate information, knowledge of future forecasts , the implementation of this information must also be combined with ethical and moral laws. Knowledge of these laws is the main protection for each of us."

2) Fortune telling on cards is a sin that blocks our path to heaven, as my grandmother taught me.

3) Any thing or object in this world can be used for both good and evil... Even weapons can be used for both defense and attack, so can the Tarot... That’s right, depends on whose hands it is...

4) I told my fortune on cards before the session. In 3 days. As a result, I failed the session. I passed three exams with “2” marks. After that I was hysterical. This has never happened to me. All my sessions went like clockwork, but here it is. And once again, but earlier, I was telling fortunes for my betrothed, after which my nephew fell ill. Even if it is difficult, it is worth fighting the temptation and not going where you shouldn’t. Marusya, 20 years old.

5) I’ve been doing fortune telling using Tarot cards for a long time, and it got to the point where I was doing fortune telling every day. I began to have nightmares often, I sleep with the light on, and I constantly feel someone’s evil presence. My personal life is not going well, work has become just as bad, I feel like I’m losing myself. About a month ago I realized all the consequences of my passion for fortune telling and esotericism. I went to church and took communion. I removed all online fortune telling from “favorites”. And now, I went to Yandex, typed “love fortune telling” in the search bar and ended up on this site, which, one might say, saved me from yet another weakness in telling fortunes. Thanks everyone for this! I thank God for enlightening me in this way! Irina, 31 years old.

6) I am interested in magic. And somehow I decided to try fortune telling with cards. At first, little by little, and then I began to guess more and more often. Now I can’t go through a day without telling my fortune at least once. I understand that this is impossible, but only recently I decided that enough was enough. This is the same bad habit, like smoking or gambling addiction, and this must be fought. The only thing that saved me from self-hypnosis was the confidence that nothing would come true, but knowing this, I continued to guess. Please! Don't repeat the mistakes! The need for fortune telling is an addiction! You still won’t know your fate, but you can ruin your life. Moon Witch, 16 years old.

7) I learned fortune telling together with my friends in the seventh grade. Started out just as fun guessed on cards in broad daylight. Without any candles, cats or other attributes of witchcraft. Laughter, jokes, fun... And a feeling of intrigue. All this drew me in, just as casinos and slot machines draw people in. Fortune telling with cards is also gambling. The only stake here is your own life.

I've had a deck of cards since childhood. It belonged to my late grandfather. Playful, of course. I spent hours fiddling with it as a child. And later she began to guess on it. And I can’t say that everything came true, but I couldn’t stop. This is where the devilry began! Boys have liked me since childhood. She received her first love note when she was five years old. But my personal life was crumbling and collapsing! No one was unlucky for me. It all started like this: I liked a guy. As a rule, at first he paid attention to me. Naturally, I laid out cards on it every day. And every time it all ended in failure, even if the cards spoke of love and happiness. I would throw them out the window, but they’re grandfather’s. They are already forty years old... And I began to wonder again and again.

During my entire school time, I didn’t have a single romance, although all my friends vied with each other and said that they envy me - they say, I’m beautiful, and smart, and I can charm a person at first sight. But no one was more unhappy than me. Because the girlfriends were with the guys. But not me.

I didn't blame the cards for this. It couldn’t even occur to me, although my mother said more than once: “Daughter, don’t guess, you’ll miss so many things! You’ll screw up your destiny!” At home, by the way, scandals followed one after another.

But I persistently did layouts and solitaire games...

When I left home for university, I didn’t take the card with me. I do not know why. Apparently, instinct worked.

And I got a boyfriend. Everything was going great until I, faced with the first quarrels, took up the old one. Fortune telling on cards, but online. Tarot, Lenormand and a bunch of other nonsense...

Naturally, my boyfriend and I broke up. On his initiative - as has always happened to me in the past. Although I saw that he felt bad without me...

Yesterday, a man who had had some feelings for me for four years stopped communicating with me, and, in my opinion, forever.

I've been wondering about it for almost a month on Tarot cards. It said that he loved me.

And at night I came across this site. I don't know what the truth is. Perhaps each of us simply tries to attribute our mistakes to this destructive passion. But the result is obvious! You can't argue with facts! I will not encourage anyone to give up fortune telling. But I'll burn my cards as soon as I get home. Because I know: a different fate was written for me. All the prerequisites are present! But I, like a little child with a felt-tip pen, climbed into the book of my destiny and stained all the pages of my youth there. Before it's too late, I want to cleanse myself, wash away this ink from my life. And let light and warmth into her...

8) Rina, 20 years old: “When I was 15, I fell in love with a guy. We dated for 2 years, and he left me without explanation, then he returned, and for another year we got on each other’s nerves. Then he got another one, I was ready I turned a blind eye to everything for his sake. I myself tell fortunes with Tarot cards, I’m half gypsy, and I know how bad it was. My mother bewitched her first husband, she still married him in prison, got pregnant, and gave birth. son. But all of a sudden, at the age of 2, the child had a fever and his husband left. She told me not to resort to conspiracies, but I didn’t listen to anyone. I still don’t feel good about conspiracies. had an effect on him. But I feel very bad. He got married. And I’m happy for him. I haven’t had anyone since I was 15, and I have a normal figure. explains. I want to tell all the girls, please don’t do anything stupid, everything is passed on, if not to you, then through 7 generations. I myself tell fortunes to many friends and acquaintances. But I don't resort to conspiracies. Now I still can’t forget him, I love him more life. But nothing comes of it, only to my detriment."

9) “I’ve been telling fortunes since I was 13. I bought my first deck of cards on the sly, for which I later got it from my mother. And off we go. Tarot cards, gypsy cards, Lenormand, not to mention ordinary cards. Everything was coming true. People came to me, I told them the truth, as it turned out. Among my acquaintances and friends, I acquired a reputation as a talented fortune teller. At the same time, I ran around all the fortune tellers in my city, and I didn’t hear anything. Everything came true.

It didn't work out with the guys. At the age of 17 I fell in love. He didn’t seem to be my type, but somehow I was hooked. I caught his gaze and understood: he was not indifferent. And how. He followed me everywhere. But I didn’t dare to speak, all this time I was intensely guessing, scratching cards, going to fortune tellers. Everyone said that he would come into my life. That everything will happen, love, etc.

Three years have passed since then. He never came into my life. I think I even moved away. I see how he flirts with girls. And jealousy literally tears me apart! I kick walls out of anger. And what am I doing?! I come home, take the deck and, as if spellbound, I don’t let it go all evening, and so on every day. According to the cards, it turns out that he likes me more. What then prevents you from coming?!

I recently learned that the young man is very devout. Maybe God won't let him come to me. Although I'm not sure it's not pride. Or maybe I missed it forever. We rarely see each other; when we meet, he fixes his gaze on me, full of sadness and sadness. Either anger or powerlessness. Unclear.

Now I own 5 types of cards, but I am not happier. I am a beautiful girl, people often pay attention to me, but no one stays near me for more than three months. I haven't had love for a long time. I'm angry and silently crying. I started getting hysterical. I pray because... I see no more consolation. But the hand itself reaches for the deck. I am beginning to understand that this is the root of my misfortunes and health problems. The hand does not rise to burn. It's better not to guess at all. And even more so - not to be a conductor of sin, like me. I just don’t know where my destiny is anymore, or if it exists at all.”

10) In my opinion, my story is the creepiest. I read now - people understand that guessing is bad, but I can’t understand it. I became interested in cards many years ago. There were periods when I forgot about them, but soon everything returned to normal. Meanwhile, my life is very strange. On the one hand, I have achieved a lot in terms of my career. I even became something of a celebrity. I always tried to help the disadvantaged or those who need psychological support. They say I am a very beautiful, bright girl. Few people know that my personal life is lousy. I was married. I went through all the circles of hell. He is a wonderful person, but I (unwittingly) brought him nothing but suffering, which is why, for unknown reasons, after 10 years of trying to save the marriage, we separated. Our son went to an Orthodox gymnasium because of what he saw in the family of unfortunate parents.

Later, another wonderful man fell in love with me. But I can’t let him too close to my soul. Because of this, he has terrible outbursts of aggression. I think maybe he’s just not destined. Maybe the other one is fate. No! Others don’t seem to notice me being so beautiful. Except for those who simply want physical pleasure, not love. It’s like I’m an animal and not a living soul.

Do you know why all this is so? They don’t want to give my cards to anyone. I can really feel it. I tried to throw them away 10 times. But after some time I still buy them. I am terribly afraid of retribution even after death, but cards should not be underestimated. They are like a jealous husband. They don't let anyone in. As if I were their property. And it’s true – I tell fortunes to myself about them every day. Do you know how I justify myself? I tell my soul that this is just a conversation with the subconscious. I go to church all the time. I'm crying. And I understand that I don’t have a proper family because of slavery to cards. I see that something is wrong, but I have no idea what to do. And if I am not destined to throw off this collar by force of will, I want others not to suffer. Don't guess with cards! Don't go to fortune tellers! You need to contact God. He will give everything, everything, so that you become who you should become.

For some cards, the inverted position is no different from the upright position: after all, if you turn Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace upside down, the book will not turn into a detective story. D. Chase.

Is it possible to tell fortunes with Tarot cards?

There is still no consensus about when and where Tarot cards appeared. Some researchers believe that we owe this method of learning the future to the ancient Egyptian priests, others argue that the system was born much later - somewhere in the Middle Ages. No less controversial is the question of whether it is possible to tell fortunes using the Tarot - or is this a sin for which inevitable retribution awaits?

Look beyond reality - magic without color

Paganism and Christianity - irreconcilable enemies? But let's look at the countries of Africa, whose indigenous population successfully combines faith in the Savior and traditional cults (including the well-known Voodoo). It's hard to believe that an exception was made only for the “chosen few”. It is much easier to assume that the desire to comprehend the secrets of the universe does not cause such severe condemnation as theorists talk about.

Humanity regularly makes attempts to unravel the mysteries of the past and look into the future. Therefore, debates about whether it is possible to tell fortunes using Tarot cards will never lead to any definite answer. Curiosity is a completely forgivable flaw if communication with the subtle world is not used for evil.

Ah, this is magic - black and white! The first seems something frightening, dangerous and creepy, the second - from the “help yourself” category. In reality, magic has no color. The power that healers, psychics, and fortune tellers can be endowed with is completely neutral. It is colored in dark and light shades by a person’s thoughts, aspirations and dreams. Do you doubt whether you can tell your own fortune using Tarot? Look into your own soul and find the answer.

Great opportunities - or sharp pitfalls?

A number of difficulties still exist - they should be taken into account before picking up a helper deck.

• Firstly, any fortune-telling is a consumption of power that must be replenished in some way. By contacting a specialist, the customer actually makes the agreed payment, thereby closing the energy channel and preventing further leakage. Having decided to read the Tarot on your own, you need to think about ways to recover. For some it is good deeds (charity), for others it is communication with nature.
• When addressing questions to higher spheres, it would be a good idea to take care of advance protection. Sometimes “collaboration” turns out to be quite dangerous if the tarot reader does not have the necessary experience. This point is especially relevant if you are going to view other people - it is quite easy to pick up someone else’s “dirt”. That is why practitioners advise using candles (live fire) during fortune telling, and then taking a shower (or at least thoroughly washing your hands under running water).

Is it possible to read Tarot readings for yourself? There are no restrictions on this matter if you try to avoid addiction. When performing important actions only with an eye on the cards, it is easy to lose your will and turn into an inert consumer of life's blessings. You can also find out
