Tarot cards have a reputation for being scary. And maybe that’s because when you first start using them, it feels as though the cards are trying to reveal some sort of sinister truth about your life.
Is that really the case? Do tarot cards lie? The answer to this question is… yes, and no.
Tarot cards don’t lie, per se. They aren’t malicious in any way; in fact, they can be extremely helpful if used correctly.
However, just like any other tool or device, if you misuse them or ask the wrong questions, they won’t give you the answers you want to hear. So do tarot cards lie? Let’s find out!
What’s the point of tarot cards?
The point of tarot cards is to help you gain insight into various aspects of your life. It can be anything from how you’ve been feeling lately to your relationship status.
Tarot cards can be a fun way to learn more about yourself, especially since there isn’t one right or wrong way to use them.
Depending on what you’re reading for, you can use different spreads, or layouts, to get a better idea of what’s going on in your life.
Sometimes, you can even use these cards to get a better understanding of someone else’s life, such as a loved one or a close friend.
How do tarot cards work?
Reading tarot cards is a lot like reading tea leaves or palms. In order to get a reading, you shuffle the deck and then ask a question to the cards.
Once you shuffle the cards, you lay them out on the table into a specific formation. This is called a spread. The cards form a pattern that reveals what the future holds for you. It’s important to note that there are different types of spreads for different types of readings.
For example, there are two main spreads that people use when reading for themselves: the Celtic Cross and the Past, Present, Future spread. Let’s take a look at each one!
- The Celtic Cross spread uses 10 cards and is commonly used for spiritual readings
- The Past, Present, Future spread uses three cards and is used to reveal aspects of your past, current situation, and future
Tarot card accuracy
Tarot cards are very accurate. This is because we are constantly vibrating with energy. Everything that we see, hear, and even think emit a certain frequency, and tarot cards are designed to pick up on those frequencies and translate them into a reading.
That’s why tarot cards can be such a powerful tool. If you are seeking clarity or insight in a particular area of your life, tarot cards can give you an unbiased reading that will help you navigate through your journey.
However, like we said before, you need to be careful when using them. If you are fearful, stressed, or anxious about what the cards reveal, they will pick up on that energy and give you a reading based on those emotions.
That’s why it’s important to stay calm and relaxed when you are doing your readings.
Can tarot cards lie to you?
We’ve established that tarot cards are very accurate and don’t intend to deceive you in any way. However, they can only tell you what you ask them to reveal.
If you ask the cards what your future holds, they’ll give you a reading based on where you are at the moment in time.
For example, if you are in a relationship and you want to know if that relationship will last, the cards will give you an accurate reading based on how the relationship is currently going. They won’t be able to tell you if the relationship will last in five years.
That’s where tarot cards can mislead you and why it’s so important to ask the right questions and stay calm.
The problem with tarot cards
As we’ve discussed, tarot cards aren’t malicious or trying to deceive you in any way. However, they can be problematic if you aren’t careful.
If you are new to tarot cards, you may want to start off with a basic reading such as the Celtic Cross spread. This spread isn’t overwhelming and will allow you to get a feel for the cards while they give you a reading.
Another issue that people run into is playing with tarot cards too frequently. You don’t want to rely on tarot cards to make decisions for you. This can lead to you making bad choices in your life because the cards misled you.
Instead, use the cards as a way to get clarity and insight on things in your life.
Bottom line
We’ve established that tarot cards aren’t malicious creatures that intend to mislead you, but they can only tell you what you ask them to.
That means that it’s up to you to ask the right questions and stay calm when reading the cards. If you do that, you’ll get a very accurate reading that will help you navigate through life.
