TAROT reading

alienhead

has anyone gone to a tarot reader, i'd be interested in giving it a go.

i've a prety open mind, but i do reckon there's a fair few crappy ones, especially those phone lines, they seem like a complete con.

so, can anyone recomend one in dublin?

Sleepy

Only recommendation worth listening to is the advice to keep your money in your pocket. Anything of this ilk is at best stupidity and at worst an outright con.

There's sometimes a fine line between open-mindedness and stupidity...don't cross it! :rolleyes:

yeah have gone to a tarot reader twice (same one both times) and she was fantastic. (but in Cork so no good to u I'm afraid)
She told me all about myself, and my family and friends.. to the point where she told me to go and ask one friend in particular something which she was afraid to ask me!! and it was all unbelieveably accurate.
The first time I went to her I was really freaked out cos I usually hate that sort of thing.. but was dragged along by boyfriend.. and was so glad afterwards! everything she told me about came true.. and I went again this summer.. this time she told me I was going to be moving away from home.. and I would only stick it a couple of years. She also told me to stay away from serious people that they'd only drag me down!! "surround yourself with daft people".. unusual!!!

so I think u should give it a go!! But don't get ripped off. I only paid 12 euro the last time I went and she was spot on. She wasn't in it for the money.. a good sign I suppose really!!

It's definitely worth picking up a few plastic cards and having some ol' one gasp theatrically at your upcoming death.

How people are still falling for religeon I can almost understand. How they fall for this nonsense just baffles me.

Alienhead: I suggest that you repost this to the paranormal forum, people there are more likely to take your questions seriously.

Do you ever do anything apart from make stupid comments?

To be fair, Tarot can be pretty convincing. A friend of mine read mine for me before, if I wasn't watching her read the answers from the book that came with the cards I might have thought there was something to it.

What was the problem with the answers being read from a book? I mean the book only interprets the fall of the cards, it is just a reference, it is not as if someone was customising the answers for your case, it was an interpretation of what the cards "saw".

Fools deserve scorn. How else will they learn? Didn't we beat your naiveté out of you in the Dunsink thread? Nevermind, you'll grow up and join the real world someday.

Stevenmu, the only way tarot can be convincing is if you're an idiot. Cold hard logic, science and pure common sense determine it to be nothing more than hokem. The only people who believe in it are those that want to: those that don't want to admit they're being conned for psychological chicken soup.

The fact that it came straight out of a book made it easy to see that it was just generalisations that anybody could associate with their own lives and their expectations of it. Reading other pages at random confirmed that. It also shows that anybody else who happened to get the exact same cards would get the exact same reading, despite having a different life and future ahead of them.

Sleepy, I'd tend to agree with you, especially where those premium phone lines are concerned. It's pretty well known though that people, taken as a group, are generally idiots.

i went when i was 16 and because of my age she only mapped out two years, but ever part of what she said was true and happened. deaths in family births all things that would effect me. even strange little things that i didn't notice till i went back to her and talked to her about them(shes a friend of myfriends family)

Sleepy

Cajun Tiger, I could just as easily write ten predictions for the next month and I'd be happy to place a drink at the next boards beers that at least seven of them will come true...

let me know if you're game for the bet.

Dont listen to the skeptic's...what ever you are into is good enough for you. I read Tarot cards for my friends and family, its fun and sometimes scary because the cards are dead on a lot of the time.
If I were in Dublin I'd read them for you for free

I think some posters take threads into thier own hands sometimes, I believe the question was where could he find a reader , not if tarot card reading is 'real' or whatnot

I believe you can find out what you are looking for if you go into a local metaphysical shop There is one I know of close to Trinity college, cant remember the name right now though.

Totally agree, tarot is for people who deserve to be conned.

That's a good point and perhaps I've come across as overly skeptical. There are people out there who seem fairly genuine but there are also a lot people who are just trying to rip you off.

There's one across from the Turks Head (Parliament Street), I think it's called the House Of Astrology or something like that.

I agree with Beat....it's all about what works for you not what other people believe.

I love going to Tarot readers, there are some hacks out there but there are some damn good readers around.

The Mind, Body & Spirit event that was held in Cork recently was very good and had many good mediums & tarot readers there. Look out for one that will be held in your locality.

I have the name of one that I found particularly good if you want to PM me.

What disturbs me about it so much is that I know family and friends who base life decisions on these things...

Sure, they're fine if you're doing them for a laugh in a tongue in cheek manner. But if you actually start believing the results of the cards to be indicative of real life you need your head examined.

me thinks to self/ No wonder I'm unhinged, look at the people I've surrounded myself with!
