I just wanted to put out there that your dismissal of Tarot as “not being real” is incorrect. So many folks think that Tarot is just about “fortune telling” and it isn’t. It is a larger more profound system of study.
yes, cold readers use Tarot to make $.. but I would say research the history of Tarot and the estoteric study of Tarot.
If Tarot is your thing then that’s great! I don’t mean to knock what another may have fun doing with their time. But my experiences with Tarot never have convinced me that it’s anything other than a form of entertainment. Researching its history futher than I have already will not alter the experiences I’ve had. If you enjoy it then great, keep enjoying it. It’s not for me.
