I have been reading Tarot cards for the past 6 years and have heard this a lot. Is it ture that Tarot card raders end up alone and can never have a healthy relationship? Also does keeping Tarot cards at home prove to be a drain on the finances?
Amazing the stories that people make up. Tarot card readers are single, married, divorced etc. just like everyone else. One does not have anything to do with the other. I am a Tarot reader of 18 years and have not found my finances affected in any way.
I have been reading tarot professionally for over sixteen years. I am happily married in a very secure relationship. We own two houses and are not hurting financially, having just bought the second house at almost twice the square footage as the first house. I should mention that I am a witch and my wife is also, as are our two teenage kids. We live our lives in the craft, 24/7, and tarot is part of that. You have to remember that the tarot is nothing more than a tool and is no more dangerous than keeping a hammer around; if you use it correctly you can build wonderful things, but if you abuse it you could hurt yourself.
My mother is a tarot card reader. she has me, of course, but she's kind of alone, yes. My mother has a hard time finding a healthy relationship - because she relies on tarot and her 'psychic abilities' to dictate what she does. For instance. she had an arguement with her boyfriend over a DREAM she had, and what the cards said about it afterwards. Granted, I know this boyfriend of hers is a complete jerk anyway and she should be rid of him. but not over her dreams or cards. /facepalm I'm not slamming your beliefs, here, I know that belief in tarot can be just as strong as belief in God or any sort of religion. but just keep in the back of your mind that the tarot is at most a guide for you, and should NEVER dictate your life. I don't believe in tarot, personally
Where are you getting your information? From conservative fundy type sites that like to cite lots of completely made-up statistics about the occult in order to scare their followers into obeying dogma? I've been very active in the spiritual and occult communities for many many years now and thought I had heard every innane superstition there was. This one is a completely new one to me. I've NEVER heard of either of those things. I know more than my fair share of people who read tarot professionally (I currently do), and then literally hundreds who study and read tarot non-professionally as part of their spiritual path (I did this for the better part of a decade before I started reading professionally). None of the professionals that I know have money issues - in fact they make ALOT of money by being very good at what they do. I always have a steady stream of clients for tarot. I am in no way financially drained. I am married in a fantastic relationship. Most of the professional readers that I know are in successful, committed relationships. If people have issues with money or romance it is personal issues that they have that has NOTHING to do with tarot. If you have financial issues, you need to look into learning how to manage your budget and your financial affairs - period. If you have romantic issues, you need to look at yourself and your patterns of behavior and thinking to find out what areas you need to work on in yourself. Reading tarot has nothing to do with any of these - however a good reader can use the tarot to help point out to you issues that you have that you may not be able to objectively see. In fact, that's a big part of what I do as a reader - helping people look at their lives and their situations more objectively so they can make effective changes. So - don't let people scapegoat their personal issues on a deck of cards. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard - LOL!
