Do Atheists Read Tarot?
Short answer, Yes. The longer answer is that tarot isn't about magic or spirits; it's a tool.
An Atheist can use the cards as tools:
- A tool for self-reflection and guidance. It forces you to look at your life from a new angle.
- Provides a new perspective on problems. Simply put, imagine you are trying to find your way through a forest. A new perspective is like getting to the top of a hill and seeing the whole path, instead of just the trees right in front of you. The cards are the hill. They help you see the bigger picture.
- The cards show choices; you are the driver. The cards show you the options, but you are the one who makes the decisions. They are the GPS map, but you are the one holding the steering wheel and desides which exit to take.
- A reading is a snapshot or a photo, not a movie.
- Major Arcana are landmarks and major highways; Minor Arcana are the back roads and dirt roads.
- Helps you find your way, not predict a specific outcome. A GPS will show you the way home, but it won't show you the bumps and ditches along the way.
And there you have it!
