When you have mastered their secrets, they can give you glimpses into the future and guide you to paths that may lead to greater fulfillment. The Tarot is not a child's game to be played and then tossed aside. Its philosophy is illuminating, and years of study do not exhaust its charm and mystery. Some people are terrified to have their cards read though the Tarot might intrigue them. This fear is usually based on a lack of experience with the cards, or a previously disappointing reading.
Many people are concerned about getting bad cards or being told of a horrible future.
None of the cards are bad and a reading should never scare anyone away from the Tarot. Once acquainted with the positive purpose of the cards, most people are eager to learn more about the Tarot. To ask the same question a second time would have been tactless, and so I did not. Though this makes for interpretive chaos, it also gives Tarot a vitality and responsiveness unmatched by any other method of divination. In every person of whatever station, look not for something to criticize, but for something you admire in your Creator.
