Can Christians Read Tarot?

February 24, 2020 by Noebie

Can Catholics or other Christians use Tarot Cards? Let’s look at official Church teaching on the matter.

Can Tarot cards predict the future?

February 17, 2020 by Noebie

We all know the cliché image of a fortune teller, often in Gypsy garb, turning up cards to predict someone’s future. Many a movie plot is hung on such a scene. For people unfamiliar with the Tarot, this is the image that likely first comes to mind when it is mentioned.

I have come to think of the Tarot in a different way. I think of it as a practice which allows me to bring to the surface issues and ideas that are significant in my life, but may be hidden from my conscious thoughts.
