A Most Serious Warning About Fortune Telling

Many people are beginning to see the evil in using tarot, astrology, crystals, and other means of "fortune telling," and some who have "crossed the Tiber" are writing about it in their blogs, praise be. For those of you who might still be "on the fence" or who do not understand why these tools are inherently evil, even if they seem to sometimes be good, you need to read this scientific explanation and reason not to use them.

The premise of these readings, and using tarot as an example, is to assign meanings and outcomes to suits, and individual cards. Also, a meaning is assigned or changed if the card is upright or reversed. It is this very basis that opens the door to evil and outcomes of ill. Computer programmers will particularly understand this. Of the four suits, the suit "swords" (spades in modern parlance) is assigned the most afflictive meaning, usually involving sorrow, death, loss, violence, illness, and various afflictions. Think about it... by doing this and using statistics, the presumption of tarot is therefore that at a minimum, the average person experiences a 25% of their life in affliction. This is terrible! Who wants to live a life like that? Where does it say in the Bible or anywhere else that 25% of one's life is "assignment" to being afflicted? That is evil and exactly what dark forces desire. Add to this further that if a card is "reversed" that usually adds a layer of deception or affliction. Depending how the dealer deals the cards, if say one or two cards are reversed, that adds another 10-20% of "built in" affliction to the suit statistics. So the basic premise of tarot is that everyone is going to experience 35-45% affliction. It does not matter whether one pulls afflicted cards or not in the question that one makes of the fortune teller, because that affliction is built in around what you are manifesting in your life. For example, if a civilian in Iraq has a good day, that doesn't mean that the war is not still going on around him or her and that someone they love or themselves is going to be hit. That is what even a "good reading" is like within a preprogrammed manifestation of 35 or more percent affliction.

Anyone who thinks this through and is not inhaling too much incense, other substance, or their own ego ought to be horrified at this mathematical reality. By operating within a large percentage of affliction one is not mitigating or avoiding it at all - one is cultivating it in oneself and others. This is because you develop tunnel vision where you cannot access grace and positive options, for a life that is much less afflicted, which is God's true intention. God is constantly pushing gifts of prosperity, grace, health and joy upon people, but if they are living in a world where there is self imposed affliction, and actually activate unclean spirits to fulfill their own tawdry prophecies, then one cannot access the fullness of the grace and happiness of life that one should achieve.

A pretty well off in law of mine bemoaned missing another opportunity to rake in even more money some years ago. I warned her and her husband not to think like that, because they are focusing only on the money and not on the fullness of life. I used the analogy, what if you got the money and got run over on the way to depositing it in the bank? Well, the constant focus on hedonism and material goods took their toll, and the husband died young and she is an unhealthy and self centered widow, who is no prize yet acts as though every new beau ought to be perfect, though awash in booze. This is an example of if one assumes that a suit (say pentacles) is "money" then 25 percent of one's life ought to be about money. 25 percent attention to something is more than enough to cause inattention to happy family, motherhood, good health, piety, love of neighbor, love of Christ, works, and grace.

So whatever you believe about the Bible or about if fortune telling is sinful or not, you better believe what I'm telling you that by nature fortune telling uses mathematical and statistical manifestation to bring a much higher affliction and sorrow to humanity than God certainly ever intended. It is bad programming to the maximum and allows unclean spirits to claim huge percentages of your own life and all who you interact with and touch, and those who you don't even know but suffer from your decisions, if you are using fortune telling. Judgement will be terrible and severe for all who have afflicted others through use of these tools, and you don't need the Wheel of Fortune or Judgment cards to see that, reversed or not. Fortune tellers better drop these tools like they are hot, because they are.
