Are Tarot Cards And Ouija Boards Dangerous?
Ok, So I just bought a pack of tarot cards. My friends and I think there really cool. So I was thinking of Getting a Ouija board but all the articles i have looked up about them say that there dangerous and that when using one you can contact spirits and demons. They also say the same can happen with tarot cards. Is that true?

I work with christians that use them every day at lunch, nothing bad happens
Answer by Catholic and Pro- Life 🙂
Very true.A demon can contact you and poses you.
Answer by Calvin
The Scriptures condemn such practices. Whether they actually are dangerous spiritual instruments or not is not what you should fear most. The fact that they are condemned by God, and His wrath is not a fun experience…..should indicate how dangerous they actually are, irrespective of demons and spirits.
Is there a store or website that sells voodoo dolls or tarot cards?
I’m in New Zealand at the moment so a website would be more appropriate but if you can name a store, that’ll be great.

gypsies made them.
Answer by J.
Tarot cards appear to have been made in Italy (not by gypsies, actually) and were not hugely dissimillar to all the other types of playing cards around at the time (circa 1400s). The major suits were swords,staves, cups and pentacles or disks. Around this time, major or trup cards were added with additional mythological references. However, the Tarot deck itself was not used for divination before the 1700s. Other cards were used, though. Tarot were originally used for card games and as a way of illustrating philosophical ideas
A french occultist was the first person we know of to use the for divination centuries after their invention. He also added more mythological and astronomical symbolism, based on what was fashionable at the time (the decks changed a lot. Early decks represented Greek Gods). He also made up the story that gypsies used Tarot for divination (to tie into the the Ancient Egyptian symbols he had used, and a link to ancient knowledge – at the time it was commonly believed gypsies came from Egypt). Later research found no connections either to the Tarot cards and Ancient Egyption society or mythology, or tarot cards in Egypt, or Tarot cards being used previous to this by any nomadic people. The decks changed again over the years, the modern oracle cards being very distinct indeed from the originals, or even the cards in the 1700s.

Tarot cards are not. Many people use them and i have never heard a horror story about them. I personally do not like Ouija boards tho, even though i know a lot of the stories on the internet are fake. If you buy one and your nervous about using it don’t, its your intuition telling you not to. if you feel fine about it, maybe a little excited, go for it. Sorry if im no help…
No they aren’t dangerous if you call on the Source rather than anything else. They are just tools for reaching that Source, IF you use them that way.
Otherwise you’ll just get a bunch of gibberish.
As for contacting the dead, you know if a person was an azzhole in his alive state, he is still an azzhole after he crosses over to the other side. People think “oh if someone died they must suddenly have become all wise and knowing and benevolent and kind.”
No. They are just like they were before they left. So you want to be careful asking the dead anything, just like you’d pick carefully who you’d ask questions of from the living. You wouldn’t just randomly go pick someone off the street for advice or information, don’t do it with the dead either.
Always ask that your information come from the One True Source. And it will.
No, and demons are not all bad. Learn of their original meaning, before christianity perverted them. Originally they were entities that were called upon for help and guidance.
Ouija boards are only dangerous if you don’t take the proper precautions, don’t use it when you’re angry or in a negative frame of mind, that will attract those types of entities. And don’t demand or disrespect them in anyway, it will just piss them off. Show respect and you’ll get the same back.
Tarot cards can be used in a number of different ways, but primarily they are an excellent tool for personal development, and readings can help you with this. Unfortunately to gain the most benefit from them you need to learn and work with the cards, and not just look up interpretations in the LWB that came with them!!
Suggest, “78 degrees of wisdom” as a tarot classic that can be used to help you learn your cards. Which deck did you buy? I am also advised that “Tarot for Dummies” is a good basic interpretation book
Ouija boards? Wouldn”t bother with one. mostly excitable kids scaring themselves witless. If you’re going to mess with the occult, join a magical order, and learn to do it properly and safely.

I have tarot cards. They’re fun (: And harmless. But even though I’m atheist, I will never in my life play with a Ouija board. There are just some forces in life that can’t be understood and should NEVER be messed with. Promise that you won’t do it.
Only if you hit someone with them.
Tarot cards are not what most people believe them to be. They were created in mid 15th century Italy for the Milanese court and consist of two parts: a standard pack of Latin suited playing cards (preexisting tarot in Europe by about 70 years) and a fifth suit of picture cards. These extra cards took as their theme a triumph procession, hence their early name of trionfi, meaning triumphs, and from which we get our word trump. And that is what they were, a suit of fixed trumps for use in a family of card games – games that continue to be played throughout continental Europe to this day!
It was not until the end of the 18th century that a Parisian occultist, ignorant of the cards’ actual origin, published the claim that they came from Ancient Egypt and were brought to us by the Gypsies. He also published the first account of how they might be used for divination. There is no evidence for the cards coming from Egypt and he didn’t attempt to give any and the meanings attributed to the cards for fortune telling, being based upon an erroneous account of their origins are the product of invention.
Of course, some of the cards can seem a little mysterious, even heretical – but when viewed in context of when and where they were created, we find that they were not. Indeed, contrary to popular myths, the Church never tried to suppress the images of the tarot.
Without an occult origin, fortune telling with tarot is no different in kind from fortune telling with tea leaves, dominoes, or knuckle bones. However people might use tea leaves for fortune telling and no matter what you might think of fortune telling, it doesn’t make tea leaves in any way dangerous. I wouldn’t drink so much tea if it did!
Personally, I don’t believe that fortune telling works – but that is something that you must make up your own mind about. The points is that tarot cards are not dangerous and you should feel safe to use them however you wish. I hope however, that you might also try using them for some games as well – it was what they were invented for.
As for ouija boards – well, the pointing device never moves without someone ‘touching’ it, does it….again, that’s something you shall have to make up your own mind about.
