TAROT
Anybody know anything about tarot.
Like I would really appreciate people that have done it with the real cards.
Me and my friend bought some cards a few days ago and did it and everything about it was quite freaky.
Like how you hands would stop directly over them when your eyes were closed. and we did this one twice and it came out the same exact results.
Idk, im just kinda freaked out.

please and thank you.

The Tarot, as a tool for meditation or self reflection, is interesting.
I practiced Tarot reading among some other things for several years a spiritual practice, these days I read them for fun because I can sometimes find them useful to guide my own self-reflections.
As a tool for divination or communicating with spirits... well frankly, I don't believe in divination and I don’t put much stock in ritualized forms of trying to communicate with spirits. I believe in the power of the human mind.
The brain is a truly amazing thing that is always working hard for us, even when we aren't aware of it. Believing in something can be make you feel better when you are sick, or it can make you sick when you are healthy. Being ashamed can make you vomit, being afraid can make you faint, and believing that tarot cards hold supernatural powers can make your hand hover over the same card more then once, among other things.
Believing that something is real can make it real to you. But ‘real to you’ isn’t necessarily reality.
Here is a good example of the principals that are at play in our brain when we do something like use tarot cards or an ouija board.
There was an experiment done at a university where people were given two decks of cards, a red deck and a blue one. Each card either gave points, or took points away. The red deck was rigged to take points away more often then to give them, and the blue deck was rigged to give more points then it took away. The doctors wanted to see how long it would take for people to figure this out. It took about 80 cards for people to be able to SAY that the blue deck was better, but after only 10 cards, most people started to favor the blue deck and avoid the red.
So you see the brain had already figured out what was happening so the hand is reaching for the better deck without the person knowing why yet.
Your unconscious mind is ALWAYS working, and your unconscious is SMART. Even when you aren’t aware of it, it’s figuring things out and trying to explain them. Sometimes those explanations are wrong. For instance, I would say that the explanation that Tarot cards allow you to communicate with spirits or tell the future, is a wrong explanation for what is actually happening: Your brain is using the cards as a guide to express things it already knows or believes in.
Don't worry yourself, and don't put too much stock in cards, or runes or fortune telling of any kind. They have little value beyond a bit of entertainment.
