I love tarot cards. I've been doing them almost as long as I've been Wiccan (9 years). But I don't use any books for my interpretations of the cards. Raymond Buckland says that the books should just be used as a reference. If you always use the book then what happens if you do two readings for two different people and get the same cards in the same layout? While that may be unlikely it is possible. Does that mean that they have the same future? Of course not, each card has its own interpretation for different people. I let the Goddess speak through me when I'm reading the cards. So I guess in reality I'm not "reading" anything, just saying what the Goddess is saying. She is the real interpreter.

100% definitely believe.

My dog had a stroke once and I asked if she would get better. The answer I got (when I looked it up in the book) was 'An end to all suffering. A week later we had to put her to sleep because the medicine wasn't working and shehad another stroke.

I've given small eadins for friends and they always work out, do it mostly for myself though.

They're never wrong.

The original poster of the question asked for opinions and I gave mine, I think tarot cards don't really do anything, people who believe in them choose to find meaning in the cards they see. That is MY OPINION

I got my tarot cards read with my sister, she said I would be the "happiest family" in a "9", she said meaing 9 months, days or weeks. I found out a few weeks later that I was pregnant and had conceived right around that time, coiencedence? I don't think :) She also described my sister unhealthy relationship and her whole current situation really to a "T", it was amazing... im going back again soon!

I remember my first tarot reading. It's what got me into Wicca in the first place. I was in 8th grade on our "end of the year trip" to Six Flags. One of my friends pointed out a psychic booth. We went in and this old gypsy women read my cards then I bought my own deck from her. She told me I was going to end up doing something with buildings. She was right. Even though I'm in college for Finance, upon graduation I want to start a holding company and have at least 60% of my assets be in commercial real estate.
