That's too bad because Tarot Cards aren't anything but a tool to read the energy that's already around you. They don't "tell the future" because that's impossible. There's no way to determine what hasn't happened yet. What they do is give clarity to what you're dealing with in life. There's nothing about them to be banned. Energy is a physical thing. It's out there and I think everyone gives off energy, both positive and negative. You know how sometimes you meet up with someone and you just KNOW something's up without even talking to them? You're picking up on their energy. I'm very sensitive to it and other people's energy can affect me quite a bit. Tarot Cards just kinda spell it out better. As one example of many - I told my best friend she was pregnant before she knew. I kept getting cards that represented pregnancy and I knew it wasn't me. As I was driving to see her, it hit me that it was her because she had gotten married a few months before and was off her birth control. I told her "I keep getting these pregnancy cards.. and I think it's you!" And she got all freaked out and said "Don't put that on me!" lol. 4 days later she had a dream she was pregnant and took a pregnancy test.. and yup! She sure was. You sound like a very nice person AC and you have a lot of wise words.
