He not only knows what the future holds for you and I, but He has the power to affect outcomes of situations in a way that will help us and not harm us ( Jeremiah 29:11). There is always the question: what will the next card reveal? Like any sin, quitting is the hard part.Īs believers, we have the benefit of turning to our heavenly Father for guidance in every situation in our lives. By the time some practitioners realize they are dealing with a power that extends beyond the deck of cards, they find it difficult to walk away. My former employee represents many well-meaning people who would not knowingly engage in any "occult" activity, but who find themselves taken hostage by the mystique of the tarot. By the grace of God, she repented of the tarot and returned to her first Love, Jesus Christ, with renewed passion. To my surprise, she agreed with me and and admitted that something in her had become fearful of the cards even though she was increasingly intrigued by them. I told her that she was dabbling in an area of spiritual darkness that was against her Christian faith and that she should destroy the cards. I saw a normally rational adult become drawn in to the mystery of the tarot to the point that I had to rebuke her in Christian love. When the unlikely predictions started coming to pass, her interest in the cards deepened to the point of eventual obsession. After a brief period, she was making undeniably accurate predictions about events that would occur in her life and in the lives of her coworkers (as a fellow Christian, I would not allow her to do a "reading" on me).

The dangers of the tarot became apparent to me several years ago when one of my employees, at that time, acquired a deck and started studying how to use the cards for fortune telling. Today, occult tarot cards remain popular with spiritualists and those who practice fortune telling. Decks have ranged from 15 to 78 cards.Īround the end of the 18th century, tarot cards began to be used as a form of divination, or telling the future. There have been numerous designs for tarot card decks, though most decks have retained the same four traditional tarot suites. Various non-occultic card games were played throughout Europe with the picture cards. Tarot cards were originally developed in the 15th century, merely as a deck of playing cards.
