Cartomancy / Tarot Cards
Cartomancy
forecasts the future by means of using cards. The elaborately illustrated cards used in this technique are called Tarot Cards. Supposedly these cards hold the secrets to the future.Telling fortunes by cards is at the present day probably the most popular method of predicting a person's future. There are two distinct types of Cards;
The Tarot, which consists of twenty-two pictorial cards, none of which has any obvious relation to the others.
Major Arcana, which originally had fifty-six cards. The suits, now diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs, were originally coins, cups, swords and staffs, which represented respectively commerce, spirituality, war and agriculture.
Some believe that the Tarot Cards represent the Book of Thoth, the God of Wisdom of the Egyptians.
Those who turn to Tarot readings are often insecure about the future. Not content to trust in the providence of God, they anxiously seek forbidden knowledge about the future in the hopes that such knowledge will enable them to escape some impending doom or fate.
The majority of Tarot readings are completely fictitious, and depend more on the medium's ability to guess human nature than on spirit guides, there are some readings that appear to be genuinely supernatural.
Since these readings invariably lead a person away from the God of the Bible, and attempt to invade areas of knowledge God has determined should remain secret, we must conclude that they are demonic.
Tarot Cards fall into the same category as Physics and rely on much of the same techniques and avenues to reach a person.
As Christians, we most of the time underestimate the power and tactics of satan and his cohorts. It is vitally important to not only know about his tactics, but be able to fight this spiritual battle head-on.
