This weekend I had a conversation about Tarot with my step-father, which was along the lines of "they're just cards" and "whats the difference between that and poker" and "you actually believe that something is placing those cards?" So it got me thinking:
You know those moments when the cards connect every dot so perfectly to someone's life that it could never just be coincidence? For some, that's their "proof" that something more than cards is at play.
My "proof", is simply that I get a headache when I'm working with my cards for too long.
I've played poker for hours before with friends, I don't get a headache and I think playing poker requires the same amount of brain power than Tarot. I believe that those times when we get tarot burn out, it's because we are working with a tool that connects to something higher. That puts our brains, our spirit, our body in direct contact with something powerful. I'm not surprised that has some kind of side effect, however minor.
Just my two cents. What's your "proof" that Tarot is more?
