For anyone from a faith background who may struggle with the idea that tarot or other forms of divination and augury are 'wrong', consider this from Angelorum Tarot -
'Before modern Christianity became dogmatised and institutionalised, mystical traditions within the faith embraced spiritual gifts, divine visions, and sacred symbolism. The Tarot also belongs to this older lineage, where contemplation, prophecy, and direct communion with the Divine were central to the Christian life.
[sic] the Tarot still belongs within a Christian (or as I like to call it, Christo-Sophianic) contemplative path.
In the Pagan world, augury—the interpretation of signs in nature or the stars—was part of how one listened for divine will. These weren’t fringe practices. They were foundational to how humanity knew and interacted with the Divine.
Early Christians did not immediately abandon this worldview. In fact, the writings of Paul and the practices of early Christian mystics indicate that the gift of prophecy and visionary experience were outcomes of life in the Spirit. To “pray without ceasing” was not a metaphor for repeating formulaic prayers, but an invitation to live in continual divine awareness.
This is precisely the space where Tarot fits: not as fortune-telling, but as a tool for contemplative listening, a spiritual discipline that invites the practitioner to tune in to divine wisdom through symbols and archetypes.'
I hope that helps :-) Anita xx
