tarot party!

macbarbie

Hi,

Does anyone know a tarot card reader who comes to your home or a fortune teller. I have heard you can have parties where they come to your house and take turns going into a room to get you fortune told etc...

I wanted to organise one, I think it would be a good twist to a party


"your going to be successfull"... (few glasses of wine).... dont you tell me wat to do ya gypsy... ha

or...

you go into the room "all your friends hate you"...... AWKWARD!! ha!

seriously though... any1 know any1? thanks

Why don't you hire a gigalo & hooker and have people take turns going in to a room with him and getting their roide instead?

tarot cards are retarded mumbo jumbo.

My Mother does them, I constantly argue about how they don't work, its a load of crap!

If you have to hire a fortune teller, you know he isn't good.
If he were good, he could see into the future and know that he will be in your house at your party, without you having to tell him.
How could you expect him to tell you your future, if he doesn't even know his?

I would more assume you are ignorant in not believing scientific fact as opposed to old tricks and spells.

Ah, I didn't think you did, hence the use of the word 'ignorant' earlier on!

The prosecution rests, your honour, unless the defence would like to tell us what he knows said cards are BELIEVED to do...?

Just luck.
50/50 chance of it happening.
If it hadn't happened nothing would be said, it would have been forgotten.
If it did, well wow, that tarot reader really knows their stuff.

Not yet.
Why don't you explain to us how they 'work'?

About time someone asked, rather than pole vaulting to conclusions

Tarot Cards are davination tools, NOT furutre telling tools. The belief is that we have most of the answers we need laready, we just aren't able to access them. Scientifcally speaking, we only use 10% of our brains.

The symbology is said to be a linkwith your inner self/davine self whaever you want to call it, can can be used to chart a course of action or for advice.

It's the same as going to a counsellor: they'll tell you what you could do, what you might do, what they'd advise you to do. They will NOT tell you what's going to happen in the future, because the future isn't definet yet.

No Tarot card reader will ever justifyably tell you that they can predict the future. A psychic might, but that's a different argument.

If you think it's rubbish fine, but I've yet to hear a 100% scientific argument to the contrary.

Now you know!

i found one in dublin who does reading, her name is patricia, she records the reading for you so you can listen back a year later and see that it came true, she obviously very confident!

The oul one has this book that explains each card and basically what you say to them when she picks the cards, she did mine and was picking out cards and using them as an excuse to give out to me! 'good health' "You need to get out more"

haha... em this is a picture of a sad mother.. you need to give me more money son!!

did you ever see father ted when hes at one....

place silver in my palm...
silver??
give us a pound!!

Of course, first card... Death. So the reader explains that it means metamorphosis etc. Second card... Death. Third card... Death.


thats strange.. theres only supposed to be one in the packet haha!!

then..

i liked the notion that Fortune telling was somehow no less credible than "that ol' rubbish we were taught at catholic seminary..." God, angels, the afterlife etc.

There's a rule: you can't do a Tarot card sketch on TV without the Death card. (Which doesn't actually mean death in the first place!)

It is kinda similar to prayer in a way that you're communicating with a different power, but it internal or external. The problem is that catholicism is more chanting than prayer. I'd describe as spiritual (you aren't 'taught' anything) as opposed to religion.

macbarbie

actually this has dramatically changed the whole point of my post ha...


so does any1 know some1 who does tarot parties??:D

scientifically speaking we use 100% of our brains. there is roughly a 9:1 proportion of neurons to support cells in the brain. these support cells are called glial cells and have various functions from forming the blood-brain barrier to synthesis of neurotransmitters to disposal of waste proteins. neurons, which are responsible for conducting impulses so that we can move, feel, taste, think, speak etc.. comprise about 10% of the brain. thus it leads to the rather unscientific assumption that we only "use 10% of our brains."

I never said it was (did I?). I just corrected the idea that people think you can use them to predict the future.

Reegarding the 10% of the brain thing, fair enough, I stand correct (never thoght it was jsust a myth, though)

So can you get the cards and do it yourself or do you need a reader? Is there a reason to spend money on a tarot reader?

So you're saying that you subconciously pick cards which map out a rough idea about where you subconciously want your life to go, or your needs etc... ?

If so, how does your subconcious know which cards are which since you can't see or know which cards have which symbols?

Definitions of divination

"the art or gift of prophecy (or the pretense of prophecy) by supernatural means"

"Divination (Greek μαντεια, from μαντις "seer", anglicized in the suffix -mancy, see also mania) is the attempt of ascertaining information by interpretation of omens or an alleged supernatural agency. "

"The art of using magickal tools and symbols to gather information from the Collective unconscious on the nature of people. places, things, and events in the past, present and future. Also known as Dukkerin, Dukkering."

"Divination is the attempt of ascertaining information by supernatural means. Divination has a formal or ritual and often social character, usually in a religious context; fortune-telling is a more everyday practice for personal purposes."

Tarot Cards seem to rely on the person in question to have a large support in non-scientific/factual basis and believe in a supernatural or higher power which will ultimately guide them. I for one do not believe in supernatural higher powers or imaginary friends. I believe in scientific and factual basis. Tarot cards have neither and so, to me is nothing more than a joke.

Jokes are great. Much needed in times where people take things so seriously. And people taking jokes seriously is the best joke of all.

Debbie visited a psychic of some local repute. In a dark and gloomy room, gazing at the tarot cards laid out before her, the tarot reader delivered the bad news:

"There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt - prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."

Visibly shaken, Jennifer stared at the woman's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She was very upset!

She simply had to know. She met the tarot reader's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked:
"Will I get away with it?"

Not at all, if you know what the cards symbolise. As with any service, if you feel you can do a better job yourself, why would you hive someone else?

I believe that science and spirituality (not religion, just in case you think that's what I mean) can ixest side by side. I do thin people put too much believe in science just as they can with religion. Scientists once convinced the world was flat.

If you don't beleive that's fine, but do you know enough about what your talking to label something as a joke? A lot of people find entertainment in them.

Incidently, Buddhists define the inner slef as the true divinity, so you're what I'm saying can exist within your definitions. The thrid one is inconsistent, as davination is nothing to do with foretelling the future - that's more a defintion of psychic than davination.

However, in one of your earlier posts you implied one of the reasons tarot reading is legit is because you have never heard any 100% scientific argument against it. But now you are saying that science doesn't really matter, and you'd believe in reading regardless?

I was refering to anyone who takes it seriously. Not just the people paying for it. The joke lies in the belief system not the actions. As most humour involving actions is people getting degraded... which sucks tbh.
Of course being lied to for financial benefit is a con!

Not at all, I was commenting on people who said that they disbeleived because science coun't prove it. My point here was that science isn't the always accrate and can't prove everything. My theories in relation to taort cards are based on spirtuality rahter than science.

regarding your ealier point (sorry I missed it)

If so, how does your subconcious know which cards are which since you can't see or know which cards have which symbols?

it doesn't - if your mind is centred, it will be drawn to certain cards. This bit goes beyond my comprehension - you'd have to ask in the psychic forum for more info, but that's the theory.
