I'm immensely fascinated by Tarot Cards, and the wonders they are capable of bringing. I once went to a Tarot Card reader in Sydney; she told me I'd be very good with my hands and also have great potential musically. I pursued this, and began guitar lessons, after only a month of playing my teacher told me I have remarkable talent. I did a little research on them; they were first used in the 14th century in Europe, particularly in France and Italy. It is believed the word "Tarot" comes from the Arabic word "Turuq" which means pathways. It may sound a little stupid, but I actually believe in these little cards. I hope one day they say I’ll be famous with Megan Fox as my wife. I've put these on my Christmas list; hopefully "Santa" will come through. I need someone to practice on, any takers?

The problem with Tarot cards is that almost all prediction are liable to come true. Mostly because the thing that is meant to happen is described so vaguely that it has to come true. For example: you could have started drumming instead of guitar playing and you would have been great at that and the prediction would be true as well, but you would end up doing something different.
ReplyDeleteTo strengthen this effect, we remember prediction that come true more often than predictions that don't come true.
If you never started your guitar lessons you probably wouldn't have remembered the prediction at all, because you weren't great with your hands. But since you did, and your teacher said you have 'remarkable talent' you linked that to the Tarot cards' prediction.
I hereby hope I ruined your perception about Tarot cards among other things. And if not, there will be other chances to ruin things.

Shozo.
My friend, maybe you should find something more proactive to do than cynic over our blog. My perception is not ruined, I do not find solace in tarot cards, I find them simply interesting, however; not a carnival trick.
ReplyDeleteMeh.. I don't have anything better to do. Besides I think you are taking me way too serious. I'm just trying to be funny.
