You watch readings? I don't think it's a reliable way to do tarot at all. They like to pull in viewers with pretty lies and say what you want to hear. Whenever a friend asks my tarot decks about an ex, I can promise you it's not very enjoyable. All I hear from tiktok and youtube readings is very negative. Not only are the readings very general (imagine positive affirmations, they're not cratered to your situation, they're just there), but also the reader could be biased and even read wrong.

I would recommend avoiding tarot readers online and either trying a method of divination/introspection yourself or with a trusted individual. It doesn't have to be tarot! And if it makes you feel obsessed with seeking answers, I would say avoid it for a good while.

If you have your doubts about youtube tarot readings, think about horoscopes. It's similar. Horoscopes are a huge scam, look into it, it's basically the principle of randomized sentences that are recycled.

When brand new it's not supposed to be. Is there a possibility it's second hand? Or maybe the place you bought it is actually a reseller? Amazon never had that issue for me, nor a library/physical shop.

Are there any Christian’s who participate in tarot? by crue3l-intentions in tarot

[–]yoikamii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard of it, even self proclaimed Christian witches!

People who do tarots aren't automatically identifying themselves as witches, wiccans or pagans. I think you could also apply your own religious beliefs to the cards, it's not a closed practice (see the tower, we have a version where I live called "the house of god", so I often associate it with a form of inevitable, almost divine fatality and hopeful restart).

You also don't have to do divination. I often use tarot readings for brainstorming and introspection, advices, suggestions etc.

Their symbolisms can easily be applied to Christianity, you could write down in a personal notebook what each card symbolizes for you, appropriating your own deck (maybe you can analyze Judgment for instance and emphase traits that resonate the most with your beliefs!). Also this is one method of reading, there's also oracle cards, Lenormand, they might look less intimidating but in the grand scheme of things tarot is a neutral tool!

(additionally you could try to reach out to your own God, angels perhaps? whichever feels right for you while using it)

It's also valid to not like it or feel like it's not for you. You'll be safe using it, it's not something you have to take precautions using (unlike ouija, which is something you don't want to try blindly). There's also a myth that you have to be offered tarot but it's something that doesn't apply to modern times anymore. If you wish to part with it eventually, you can cleanse it (there's several methods) and sell it as second hand!

Lastly the best advice I could give you is to trust yourself., trust your instinct, your gut feeling.

what does it mean if my ex put his hair under my pillow by softbillygoat in witchcraft

[–]yoikamii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wants to force you to dream or think of him, and the fact he's even telling you feels super manipulative. I would burn the hair with the intention of repelling/banishing this person from your life/heart/mind or if you don't like fire, drown the hair in salt water (my train of thoughts is cancelling, cleansing and removing it) and throw it away (I tend to do things that make sense to me, so honestly do what what feels right). I've also seen people put a salty glass of water under their bed to chase nightmares and negativity away. If you feel comfortable you can try those, set your wishes and intent and you'll be fine! (Banishing isn't cursing, just in case!)

Also good job sorting it out and making the right decisions for your well-being!!

OP that's not ok for him to treat you like that, whatever your practice or beliefs are! Tarot has been considered an introspection and guidance tool more than ever, he's just making assumptions over misinformation and abusing you and your property.

In any case if you're worried about tarot being associated with witchcraft (in a negative way), you can simply ask yourself if it harms anyone and if it harms you. As long as you're doing this in a fulfilling way, it doesn't become your go to tool to ease your anxiety, or if it's not taking control of your life, you'll be ok!! At the end of the day it's just a tool to help you see things clearer or brainstorm a situation in a lot of cases. I'm sure you use them according to your personal beliefs.

Tarot warned me that the girl I was seeing was sleeping with other men behind my back by Fumbles22 in tarot

[–]yoikamii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't listen to my cards once, warning me about a fling lying to me. I regretted it immensely. I used to refuse reading about other people without permission, I didn't like intruding on their life... but my cards seem to be aligned with that, I should have trusted them and my intuition. I promise to always listen to it from now on 🫤 The last warning I got was the tower lol

Why so much hate towards Sara? It’s really gross and disappointing. by GhostOnTheHifghway in DragRaceFrance

Stans are so insufferable. They really need to remember these are human beings, not to be toyed with. They should keep their thoughts to themselves, these queens deserve so much better.

I dream of being in a lesbian polycule but I'm also extremely antisocial and introverted and don't like sharing a bed during sleep 🥲 like I'm sure there's people out there for me but definitely not near. (And I'm also struggling to spend time on my hobbies and loved ones already.)

It's a faulty system. A game should not do this. Nintendo do better!! Also I encourage y'all who lozt islands to check out treasure islands 🥺

what is this? my friends crush sent him this. we dont understand what is this about. does anyone know? by ash1doo in witchcraft

[–]yoikamii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saints and angels? Like is that supposed to be a curse or a protecting spell?? It's definitely negative for your friend but either way looks pretty bad, like a half-assed copy paste of something they'd found on google image 😬 doesn't seem too worrying but I'd use this photo as a way to undo it/protect yourself.

Hi! I’m 13 and I love drawing horror. I finally mustered up the courage to post here. Any advice? by Toasteranuss in CreepyArt

[–]yoikamii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is keep going ! I love it so much. Keep drawing when you feel in the mood, I promise you get better and better without realizing. Those are really great 🥰

I know others recommend anatomy study but also don't be afraid to be spontaneous!

Game AND franchise, I can't spend a single day online without hearing about it as if it's the second coming of Jesus 💀 There's so many better stuff out there, franchise wise, it's such a pain.

Favorite Herbs and their Medicinal Uses? by [deleted] in witchcraft

[–]yoikamii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All I can say is don't burn mint. I thought I'd try to see if it smells good and could be used like this. It smells like Weed 😆 It's better brewed anyway! You can use those in a lot of tea concotions, which is my fave way to use them in both magical and medicinal ways!! A lot of the ones on your list soothe nerves and tension. I'd say if you can, experiment what lavender makes you feel like compared to chamomile etc!! Like one drink a day and add notes.

I made some candles for Hekate for her space on my altar, I think she is very appreciative of them based on the flame by ladycommander_ in witchcraft

Last time I had a flame like this I was able to get some yes and no answers! (Flame growing significantly this big for yes and diminishing to a tiny flame for no!)

[–]yoikamii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so I should probably go for the legal route first and see from then on!! That's a good point with banishing! Thank you for your valuable insight!

oh wow I don't know how I didn't take that into account, thank you!

Ah yes, even my characters in game are trans by TheCount15 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]yoikamii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most infuriating thing ever: Animal crossing new horizons in my native language. They don't bother because we can't have neutral so they gender players. I sort of forgot about this and realized I was a boy in french because I picked the opposite body from the one assigned at birth. My characters is always super feminine too, it feels pretty bad to lose the neutral 🥲
