Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

The card you pull:

A Chaos the Clown card from Balatro

Accidentally read "pump"

Maybe... you should say that to your friend, instead of using your shared religious beliefs that convince them to stay in a shitty relationship...?

tarot cards don't have to be religious/spiritual.

I read Tarot as a mild hobby - I love collecting decks and paraphernalia and then using them. But for me it's like any other creative impetus randomizer machine (scenes from a hat in improv, the artists way, oblique strategies...) - you pull a series of images and then talk about how it makes you feel.

it's not spiritual at all for me.

Same except I'm pretty sure that's what spirituality is, or can be, anyway. I've worked hospitals where atheist chaplains are a thing. Even atheists need help coming to terms with death sometimes. Not feeling inherently connected to anything in particular is still a belief about how you relate the the universe. And tbh I think a lot of the shit atheists get is due to it not adequately being recognized as a spirituality. They're not actually missing one, it just looks different.

They are about as religious as a paper fortune game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_fortune_teller

Even among people who take their cards "seriously" they aren't religious in nature. It's that "I'm spiritual, not religious" line because there's basically no religion that's welcoming to Tarot.

It's a hundreds year old Italian & French card game that has a reputation. You can play standard card games like War and Go Fish with tarot and you can lay a reading with Grandma's bridge deck.

It's all the same magical thinking that's ruining the fucking planet
