    Tarot cards are practiced in several religions and aren't "dark magic" or "bad."

    I have found some of my friends telling me the same thing, because it is frowned upon in some religion. But that is a different rant. To simply answer your question, no.

    You can use regular playing cards for divination too. I read somewhere that playing cards were derived from tarot decks.

    Some people, like your aunt, consider tarot, or any medium concerning foretelling the future, as evil. It does state in the bible on several instances that believers in Christ should beware false prophets. Tarot, however, is used for many purposes.



    I find most people who are adverse to Tarot, are adverse to anything they don't understand, and react mostly out of fear rather than knowledge on the subject.



    Tarot isn't meant to necessarily be used as a way of "telling the future". As posted above, it's meant to utilize the intuitions you already have, or to gain insight into your own subconscious knowledge. Sometimes, you'll think "Aha!" when you see a particular card in a reading.



    Don't be put off by your aunt's reaction. You will encounter that many more times if you choose to continue to read Tarot.



    Google Tarot and read up on it so you're prepared to defend it intelligently if you encounter this situation again.

    There is no relation to Tarot Cards and Black Magic. Perhaps your aunt don't know the difference. Tarot is a art used to enlighten you about are the choices you have. Black magic is using spells to produce unnatural effects. Tarot is used for good, black magic is used for bad.



    I recently became interested in tarot cards and tarot education/meanings. I knew a little and wanted to learn more (to help develop my skills). I came across the global esoteric website Oranum. There I received the help and guidance needed. The experts let me put my skills to test and I had readings done to answer questions about myself. Oranum tarot readers offers variety of reading styles.

    Le sigh, ive had to explain this to so many people over the past few years, but maybe the more i can explain it, the more people will understand, and this ridiculous notion of "black magick" will finally meet an end.



    Saying magick is "white" or "black" or even "good" or "evil" makes no more since then telling a person your pillow is evil. A pillow is a pillow, its what you DO with that pillow that makes an event good or bad. If you suffocate a person with that pillow, does it then make that pillow evil or bad? No, it makes YOU bad. This same thing can be said with any type of magick, there is nothing good or evil about magick, no black and white, it just is, if you choice to use it to hurt someone, it doesnt change the magick at all, it just makes you a ****** person, its the same magick from its start, to its finish.



    That being said, Tarots have nothing to do with magick anyways, reading the tarots is using your own intuitions, there are spells that you can do with the cards, but over all, nothing about reading the tarots are magickal

    There is no connection between tarot and black magic. Tarot cards can indicate what is going on and may interpret the future somewhat. Everyone has free will, despite what some churches teach (predestination). The future is never set in stone.



    If anyone practices any "black magic" to cause any harm karma will bite them in the *** three times.



    Is there a connection? No.



    Tarot cards can be spooky is someone gain skill in interpreting them. If you're still worried and want to know how to protect yourself then just PM me. Simple and effective protection is very cheap and does not threaten anyone's faith or belief systems.
