I think sometimes it just doesn't work. And that's okay.

Hi everyone,

I posted something similar a few years ago, and at the time, I remember many people disagreed. We even discussed all the hypotheses raised: error in the question, error in the method, error in interpretation... (very common, actually). But, in a very humble way, I want to share that – having played tarot for a long time, both personally and professionally – I think that sometimes tarot simply doesn't work. It doesn't get it right. Why? I don't know. I have some ideas. They all have to do with: tarot is not an exact art. Objective. Cartesian. It's not something that can be replicated thousands of times in an attempt to obtain standardized and 100% accurate results.

 

 

I recommend reading: "Tarology and science: there is an abyss between us" - http://www.clubedotaro.com.br/site/r69f_Ricardo.asp (available in Portuguese, but there is an automatic translation via the navigation tool)

 

And that's okay. I don't think that disqualifies tarot. It doesn't make it worse. I think we need to take that into account in our practice and learn to live with that fact.
