Why do some people think Tarot cards are evil?

Question

Are they always right?

Answer 1

If you do a comparative study on the subject, one of the first questions you should ask someone is if they are religious.

You'll probably find the ones with a strong religious background as having the most superstitions regarding tarot cards, Ouija boards, demons, and exorcisms.

Answer 2

Because they are used by witches called card readers. Witches are condemned evil by some religions, therefore the cards are considered evil, if read.

Answer 3

Tarot cards are a part of the craft.  Most people seem to think witch craft, paganism, wicca, etc is equal to devil worshipping.  What they don't realize is that there is no devil in those religions to worship.  Tarot cards are not evil.  It's just the closed minded, ignorent people who try and force their beliefs and superstitions on other people that make it seem that way.

Answer 4

I know why I avoid giving or accepting readings, and I am good at it. The problem is that you are making or accepting powerful suggestions. This is especially true if you both know the person and their circumstances and the meaning of  the cards. If you are in the right frame of mind, you can be quite accurate, but what happens is that you, unavoidably, impose your vision on the consciousness of the other. That's a violation of their integrity, their human right to self-determination.

The evil is not in the cards themselves, they open doors into vision. The problem is imposing your will on others, even unwittingly. So, no, if I understand your question, they are not alway right when they say tarot cards are evil. They are like the Bible, vision if used wisely, a iron maiden of fire if used ignorantly.

Addressing the other possible meaning of your question, are the cards always right? Of course not.

Answer 5

I don't even know what "Tarot cards" are.

Answer 6

Tarot cards, as one answerer said, are a part of the craft, the craft of taromancy. And taromancy is a form of divination.

"Divination is any practice not specifically ordained in scripture that seeks to gain secret knowledge (i.e. spiritual knowledge God has not revealed).  God purposely limits His people's access to such spiritual knowledge for their own good.  That which is outside of "the things revealed" is not for us.  Why?  Because there are spirit beings out there who have been practicing the art of deception for many thousands of years.  They are good at what they do.  If we dabble in their world we will be deceived."

Religion has a lot to do with it as does the media.

Answer 8

Tarot cards symbolize an idea.  The idea that there are patterns to our lives invisible to us.  This is ridiculous and simplistic.  Vestiges of an arcane superstitious paradigm of nature.  

Unless you're talking about quantum physics.  Then it's all pretty much weird and true.

Answer 9

because tarot cards arnt special.the only reason the things happen is because the person keeps thinking that its going to hapen.and it happens(called the law of atraction).so if a person gets a bad terot card they think it is going to hapen and then ther are many chances for it to happen.so if you do tarot cards get rid of the bad ones.

Answer 10

Because Christianity teaches that tools used to divine the future are those of the devil.

Even though in early Christianity they practiced their own form of magic and had their own pentagram.

As for whether or not the cards are right... you'll have to judge that for yourself if you get a reading.

Answer 11

Tarot cards are ink on paper, nothing more.  They have no abilities, except perhaps to entertain.  People get some strange ideas about them, though.
