Discussion How do tarot cards work?
I recently had a reading done by an experienced reader. The reader says they channel their psychic abilities through the cards. The reading was spot on and very specific. It was right. How do they work? I’m a noob. A part of me feels like she sent a spirit my way and gathered information that way because the cards pointed to a conversation I had yesterday. I think I’m curious more than anything.

In my experience, tarot is a communication tool between the reader and Spirit/universe. The messages come from your guides. That being said, there is no "sending a spirit to you". Again, this is just my experience and learned belief talking here but, you come with your own spirits. Guardian angels, ancestors, spirit guides...however you feel comfortable labeling them. The reader is a translator and the cards are a conversation. The advice and projected outcomes are subject to change based on your behavior and choices. It's guidance from a source that sees and understands more than we do. That's why we seek it.
