Fortune telling is not just about predicting the future but can encompass
telling what is going on in the present and what has went on as well by psychic
means.
Tarot cards each have different meanings.
The card layer will pick whatever one seems relevant and which feels
right.
The seer may see pictures in the crystal ball which she or he interprets
if they are symbolic.
It is magic power that supposedly acquires the information that is
learned through the tools.
Does it make sense to say that the magic will tell you what is going to
happen instead of limiting itself to making a better future for you? In other words, magic would cast spells to
help you but does not tell you the future for you don’t need to know it if you
can do spells to make it good.
Fortune telling and magic depend on one another and yet they are in
conflict so even magic testifies that fortune telling and itself
is superstition! Fortune telling would
be evil for black magic when it centuries on knowledge and not on bringing
blessing on you or others. Fortune
telling is a denial that we always seek out what is best. It cannot work for the card-reader will use
any magic she has to better her or his own future and
not that of the querant. Self-preservation is our main concern.
If fortune-tellers really can see what is in store for you then they are
playing with evil forces because the forces work in defiance of the ego. These forces will get you in some way at some
time and perhaps unknown to others.
Fortune telling is bad according to the philosophy of rational
self-interest.
Some psychics even claim that the future is in the cards or whatever is
not laid down by fate. It can be
avoided. It just shows what the trend is
in your life and warns that you can change these trends anytime. So you can tell all the lies you want and you
have the perfect excuse when the predictions fail to come to pass. Fortune-telling can only be superstition if
that is the case for anybody can tell you that you have this trend in your life
or that. Then there is no evidence that
it can.
There is no free will so the predictions would infallibly come to pass if
they really were insights into the future.
