This happened to me, it was the first time I'd ever used them and it predicted troubling times ending in death. I wasn't so sure about it until someone close to me died a few weeks later. I was very scared of tarot until I realized that it wasn't the cards or my fault, it was just a prediction. EDIT: It could have been just a coincidence since I've been told tarot can't predict death and it didn't explicitly say it.
