I used to hide my tarot cards from my witchy friends. Felt like such a fake, there I was pulling cards for journaling while they were doing actual rituals and moon magic. Then I found this video about different tarot traditions:
Turns out tons of readers through history have used cards just for thinking things through, psychology stuff, even math and probability. Learning that Mary Greer and Rachel Pollack treat tarot more like a wisdom thing than magic made me feel way less weird about my approach. Anyone else deal with that pressure to be ‘witchy enough’ when you just want to use the cards for self-reflection?
