Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

They work as excellent prompts for introspection and for helping you to see connections you might have missed before. The output can ofc be entirely non-sensical but if everyone involved is aware they are simply cards then that isn't really an issue, you just laugh about it and move on.

It's like rubber ducking in programming really, but for whatever issue you "ask" the cards.

In the meme the scenario is made up and we don't know if the two individuals believe the cards can be used for something spiritual or not, but it's just a meme anyways so it doesn't really matter.

Thank you! That's roughly what I thought, I appreciate the explanation. I wonder what the rate of spiritual vs. "secular" use of tarot is, I certainly see it treated with a degree of sincerity far more often than not, but there's a large number of more abstractly spititual people in my social cricles and I assume that's not the norm.
