How Do Tarot Cards Really Work?

I think… I think maybe it’s both? Like when you said the cards show what we already know, that really resonated with me. Sometimes I’ll pull a card and it’s like, oh, yeah, I guess I did know that was bothering me, I just hadn’t really looked at it directly.

But then other times it feels like the cards are showing me something I hadn’t considered at all? Or maybe I had considered it but pushed it away? I’m not sure if that makes sense.

What you said about collaborative storytelling is really interesting. I never thought of it that way before. It’s like… the cards start the story and we fill in our own details? Though sometimes I wonder if I’m just making the cards fit what I want them to mean. Does anyone else worry about that? Like am I actually getting insight or just telling myself what I want to hear?

Sorry if this is a bit scattered, still trying to figure out how all this works for me.
