Personal Note
“Do not all interpretations come from God?” (Genesis 40:8)
“No prophesy ever came from man’s initiative. When men spoke for God, it was the Holy Spirit that moved them.” (2 Peter 1:20-21)
“No one knows when that day or time will be. The Son and the angels in heaven don’t know when it will be. Only the Father knows.” (Matthew 24:36)
Having psychic or metaphysical skills and ability is a great gift from God. Much like my grandfather who would use his gifts to find water for his neighbours on nearby farms, I only use my gifts to serve God and thus bring good into the world by helping others much like my grandfather did with his psychic gifts.
I see the Tarot as a book about the nature of our human condition. There is not much in the human condition that is not covered by the Tarot. The Tarot works a divination tool, much like the willow branch is used to dowse (or divine) water. In the right hands, the Tarot somehow picks up the right metaphysical vibration of the seeker to deliver the card that is needed at that point in the seeker’s life. Similarly, in the right hands, the willow branch points downward on the right place to dig a water well.
As Bob Dylan says, “You are going to have serve somebody.” With fortune-telling and any spiritual work–including teaching–there is much temptation either to wrongly believe that somehow, we ourselves, are creating the magic and tragically–and exponentially worse—is to believe that the magic is coming from any other source but God.
There is evil in this world of ours and much temptation. Hence, our Saviour’s prayer for us includes the phrase “Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil.”
The Tarot Cards and the Pentagram, like all good things in this world are thus open to misuse and sinful/prideful use. Like the inverted cross and the inverted pentacle that Satanists and others who use in their ceremonies, the Tarot cards may also be “inverted” and used for evil, prideful, sinful, and damaging purposes. And this use has given the Tarot and the Pentacle a bad reputation.
Nothing about the future (either good or bad) is certain. Our best defense against the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” is faith in the big picture; i.e., our mortal lives are important, but also very short. Life is to be loved, learned from, and left somehow changed for the better for us having been here.
We are never alone and it is okay–always–to ask for, seek, and find help, strength, guidance, wisdom, joy, deliverance, redemption, forgiveness.
