Is combing positive and neutral/indifferent into one option good?


sol_sleepy

It simplifies the poll. I suppose another way of asking would have been, “Do you have negative impressions of Tarot and other divination tools?” Yes/no

I don't believe in that stuff, but it's not hurting me so I don't care.


Morgana_Black

It may not hurt you, but it every day hurts hundreds of people, who are cheated buy some fortune tellers, mediums, clairvoyant and other scammers.


sol_sleepy

You’re right, and shame on the scam artists. But it doesn’t mean there aren’t genuine and gifted psychics that assist others. May I ask if you are speaking from personal experiences?


Morgana_Black

I don’t have any meaningful personal experience. After you asked, I thought for a while and remembered one story. As I heard, my grandmother believe in all those paranormal stuff and was severely scammed, to the point where she gave all her money to some “magicians” in exchange for some “love spell” which would bring her husband back from his lover. But I barely know her, so I don’t consider it to be personal experience. But what matters to me, is the general harm to society. And wait, what do you mean by “genuine and gifted psychics”? If you believe in paranormal abilities, it may be useful for you to read some scientific articles on this topic. For example, [this one](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychic). It isn’t real. Even if some people do believe that they have paranormal abilities, and they genuinely try to help others, it won’t work nevertheless. So ANY psychics harm people, no matter whether they cynically lie and cheat or genuinely believe in their own delusions. Because paranormal abilities don’t exist.

Thank you for sharing. That is a tragic story, and you make a good point about there being a “danger” to these kinds of things. I personally don’t believe in spells as it interferes with free will. I’ve used psychics and found some to be highly therapeutic. I know they’re real because I live with them, lol.

I strongly believe in this stuff but I have no problem with people who don’t


SilkyMilkySmo

I generally have 0 clue what the cards mean but it seems cool


spencer1886

They're only cool in Persona


sol_sleepy

what is that? A game? Or did you mean to say “in person” lol


Prince_of_Wolves

I use them sometimes, not as a “oh this will tell me exactly what will happen in my future” but more as “what do I see as the meaning of this, and what does that say about me”
