Personally, I have heard both sides of using tools like tarot and other objects.
I have heard some really bad experiences and I know some people who use their cards everyday.
I personally do not use tarot cards or other objects as a crutch. The reason for this is because I don’t always need another medium to receive a message. I have developed my other senses well enough that I am constantly in tune with Spirit and receiving messages directly.
In this work, when you open up, you open up to everything and that is not good. So you have to really feel your intuition first when it comes to either picking an object to use or not use.
The way I read is through hearing messages from the radio, people, the voice in my head. The way I see is in the clouds, the trees, the flowers and the birds. The way I feel is through my own senses and my gut. It just really depends on what you want but make sure you’re picking what is best for you. I also use Oracle cards instead of Tarot, but everyone is different.
