Tarot Tripe

[nailit]

Had my 'fortune' told yesterday via Tarot cards,
by a witch nontheless
(Seriously)

*Going to come into a small amount of money,
*re-connect with an old friend,
*travel was on the cards,
*Ive got a back stabbing friend that I need to look out for,
*Theres some work colleagues that are plotting against me.

What is one supposed to do with such information???

The occult is so real.
No wonder Christians fear it so much....???

Queen of hearts is better Doh!

[Arksided]

Gness, it's your loving warm hearted nature and all round loveliness that keeps me being polite to you.

Terrified really ;-)

[gness]

Yeah....Dave's tried that line too, Arky....but like you he's scared.... :-)

[Arksided]

Poor fella... be afraid, be very afraid.

That happens a lot, Chelle...but it's not always the case.
I was fifteen when I came downstairs to announce that Granny had died in the night. She wasn't ill..still working her little farm.
Don't be silly, was the response I got. The telegram came later in the day.
She left me, in her will, a picture of The Sacred Heart with a little red light. Farm, dosh and jewellery went to all the others. I didn't foresee that. Don't think she liked me much.... :-)

[Arksided]

Awe bless you Gness... and you wonder why?

Without derailing Nailits thread, spooky stuff like that happens all the time to me.

In an episode of Father Ted from the late 1990s Dermot Morgan (1952-1998) drew Death three times, despite there not being that many Death cards in the pack.

You have been warned.

[Arksided]

Death card means 'A change in life' if I remember correctly. Not really the grim reaper as we know.

[ichkeria]

That’s what he was told.

But by the third card the fortune teller was plainly suspecting the worst …

[Arksided]

I haven't seen Father Ted for ages... brilliant show.

[LadyLaLa]

chelle that link has nothing to do with Tarot, its referring to psychics who claim they can contact dead people.

[Deskdiary]

The people that believe in this nonsense are susceptible and gullible.

There is literally no other explanation (the people that fall for this errant nonsense probably also believe in the efficacy of homeopathy).

If anybody is naive/stupid enough to believe in this utter horse cak, I have sone magic beans to sell them.

[gness]

I’m sure you’re right, Deskdiary but hey….better to have some nonsense and fun in a life than go through it as a complete sourpuss. ;-)

Charlatans are ten a penny - but that’s not to say odd things don’t happen. They do. I don’t know how or why … but they do.

[Arksided]

Lol but that's mean.

[gness]

First time I heard the expression...cat's bum mouth....Arky, was when a new teacher joined us. Lord but she was miserable and marched the corridors with pursed lips. The deputy head whispered to me one day....J has a mouth like a cat's bum. It stuck and amuses the silliness in me when I read some posts here...x

//Ladybirder, Nailit wont be interested in anything that is opposite to his views//

Are you kidding me?
I would be in there like a shot!
(What are my views exactly anyway?)
Ive searched my whole life (Of 56 yrs) for something that cant be explained.

So true! Have you ever noticed how all those tarot card readers say basically the same things? I don't know, it makes me think the whole thing is just vague and silly. My wife has been watching these youtube videos where they do readings for each zodiac sign. And she actually believes it! I mean come on, there's so many Pisces/Taurus/whatever out there, that saying something like "you'll get money" or "you'll meet the right person next month" is bound to apply to someone but there's just no way they can know something that specific about a huge group of people! Me and the wife are always butting heads cause of these tarot card readings and fortune telling stuff. It's so vague and unclear that we just end up fighting over what it all means. I keep telling her you can't take that stuff so literally but she swears it's predicting our future. If I have to hear about "the tower" or "death" cards one more time. https://chi-nese.com/the-tower-and-the-devil-combination-as-feelings-reversed/
