Tarot is a lot of fun! It’s like storytelling. I think if you go into it with an idea that it’s more reflective than predictive or prescriptive it’s more enjoyable.
I’ve found most of the fortune teller people who give tarot a bad rep are really just using the storefront as a means to sell fake purses and weed.
so what if I go to a local place that does readings and sells crystals and shit, what are the odds they sell? How rampant of a honeypot have I been missing out on?
I definitely look the part. If they sell, they’ll sell to me.
This reminds me of a massive deadhead I knew in college, hugely wasted all the time. But he was about 6’5", birth control glasses, fairly muscular, cropped hair.
The other psychonauts always made him wait to meet up with them at a show because the unofficial vendors refused to deal with anybody near the guy.
Except it’s not about telling the truth (at least from my experience when a friend offered). It’s more of a discussion with the reader with the cards being a facilitator for what to talk about. It’s not the same as fortune telling.
Tarot gave us Stardust Crusaders, so that’s good. It’s also the basis for the Deck of Many Things in D&D, and plays heavily into Last Call which is a really good supernatural Poker novel.

Hang on your telling me I could have been getting my weed hook-up from Madam Sora down the road all this time? Brb.
Facts, nothing is better than getting $200 of psychedelics in a Channel bag and a free reading of your heart line.

Yeah I can see how it might be fun if you don’t assume it’s telling the truth.

I guess I kinda miss what exactly it was then, that seems a lot better.
Yeah, I didn’t know it was like that before either. Now I think of it as a very informal consulting session.
