What do you guys think of Tarot or other metaphysical things?

Searching for meaning for these things is a trap. It can be a harmless hobby, but for many people it becomes something more and can tear them apart (e.g. inducing anxiety or obsession with it).

Many (but not necessarily all) people who sell this type of paraphernalia or services are con artists looking to make a buck off of desperate people who are looking to make sense of their lives in places where they won't.

There is more to the world around us than we understand.

Tarot cards / systems of interpreting them are a good window into how human minds work, and insofar as that's relevant may indeed be useful. Many of them are also pretty.

The tools of rationality, collection of evidence and the scientific method are the best ways we have yet developed to further our understanding of the world. They are not (nor ever will be) complete.

Blanket dismissals of the metaphysical are as baseless, and no more worthy of consideration than, the simplistic assertions like "the sun revolves around the earth... because we say so".

"What do you guys think of Tarot or other metaphysical things?"

There might be some things we don't understand, like the 21 ounces or whatever that one loses after death. Very interesting, so far unexplained, yet documented phenomenon. Similar things can be said about certain reincarnation and near death experiences - how could they know some of the stuff they do? Maybe there are yet unidentified physical explaination, maybe something else. I am looking forward to answers either way.

For stuff like tarot, there are probably some interesting body language or physiological things that are behind it. I have a hard time believing most stuff like this and mediums. However, that could be that there are a large number hacks obscuring an extremely small number of people with actual talents. I'm also looking forward to any research finding on these topics.

In the UK, the Spiritualists National Union[0] is very popular among people who have an interest in mediumship / metaphysical, and the Churches across the country are widely accepted.

The null hypothesis holds

Nothing metaphysical about tarot, but it can be useful to challenge how you naturally think. The random cards you lay out force you to reconcile them with the story you tell yourself about where you are or a specific situation, and can show you connections and angles you might otherwise have ignored. Same goes for other methods of "divination" but tarot has a richer symbolic language than most.

Complete BS
