Great video, so well researched and presented. They Hipocrisy of some Bible passages just goes right over the heads of those who quote these passages without giving it a second thought. If we look at it logically, we KNOW that the Bible was put together from so many sources over time, and we should question the intent of the authors in History and their possible involvments in corruption, superstition with the desire to control. God, the Oversoul, the Universal Good, the Creator, whatever you refer to as the original Creator - would not punish, judge, retaliate etc.and break His own very rules against us in any way - those passages in the Bible in which the "God" is being anything but unconditionally loving, should absolutely be seen as suspiciious and we should be sceptical at the very least.
Ah, this video is brilliant, just as I drew the 5 of Pentacles this morning for a little chat about old-school church dogma keeping us low, confused and shut off from the light....I don't know about you but my Thoth deck has a giant Christian cross on the back of it and the Rider Waite Smith deck is full of Christian imagery (Ace of Cups for starters....).

Yessssss! I love this video. Such a light-hearted fun time. I wish more ppl didn't judge. That's why im part of your youtube community and a few others, i can't talk to anyone about it, it seems.
Thank you! I know, it's crazy. People act like we're the messengers of doom 🤣 The Tarot readers I know are some of the nicest people I've ever met 🤷🏻♀️⛤
Yeah, I relate to the demon possession bit. I was depressed when I started to learn tarot, then it got worse (way worse), and I had to take a several month break before continuing. For a split second, I actually believed I had opened some forbidden door or invited some evil, harmful energy, but luckily I realized that while learning tarot I enhanced my intuition and developed the ability to interpret symbols and abstract structures. And who would have thought, that's a very bad thing to do while you’re suffering from depression, I felt I was going insane
I'm so glad you came through that time. I think the Tarot just shows us the truth & sometimes we might not be ready for it but I have faith that the Sun is waiting for us on the other side 🌞⛤
I use tarot daily as part of my meditation practice. I always find new and beautiful ways to interpret their meaning. No matter how many times I read for clients, I am amazed at how tarot offers validation and support. But again, its all how you use it. 😊
Thank you so much for this video. It is brilliant and has been extremely helpful to me. I am really pleased that a friend of mine introduced me to your channel.

Very excited for these different videos you have down the line! I just got back from my first event doing readings for the first time, found the way you explained the meanings in each video so helpful when interpreting! Thank you Kippi! 🩵
Once, I had my cards read by a girl who was using both a tarot deck and an oracle deck with Bible quotes. I live in Mexico and around here Catholicism generally disapproves of tarot, but I find it funny how occult and esoteric traditions in this part of the world are all scrambled up and mostly have a clear Christian flavor. I've met a lot of readers in person and on the internet, and you may find it surprising how most of them pray or use the Bible as part of their rituals and practice.
Absolutely, I know quite a few Christians who are happy to use the Tarot & other 'forbidden' things like astrology. I read the Bible & in my studies I've found that Ritual Magick & Christianity are intrinsically linked 🙏⛤
As I understand it tarot and other forms of divination allow the querent time to reflect on their life. Wisdom and possible solutions are offered which may or may not be taken onboard by the querent. As a psychologist I see tarot as a healthy pause to reflect on life, one which may have been missed had the tarot not been invented.
I completely agree, it's helped me immeasurably in seeing things from a new perspective & has been nothing but beneficial to my life. It's great to hear from a psychologist, I think the Tarot is a wonderful psychological tool 🃏⛤
@kippi Reflection and introspection are encouraged early on in psychology and counselling degree courses. Psychologists are encouraged not only to study the minds and behaviours of others but also their own reactions, assumptions and biases. For this to be possible we have to look inward. I'm sure there are statistically significant results online outlining the benefits of divination that are proven to be reliable; worth a search on Google Scholar. There are also significant results regarding prayer and meditation as tools to deepen our understanding of ourselves and others and also to bring people together. Your video is a very good compare and contrast study on both divination and religiosity.
Happy Halloween/Blessed Samhain from Vancouver, Canada! I’ve been binge watching your excellently researched, written, presented, and produced videos. I have been interested in the Taro for years and your unique presentation is helping with learning them. I know your focus is on Ritual Magic, but as an Eclectic Witch - I’d recommend these videos to anyone interested in learning the history and meaning behind the cards. Are you a theatre or entertainment professional (actor, technical producer, etc). These videos are very professional and well made. Best wishes with your continued Kwest. I’m happy to be joining in 😀
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I've been a musician all my life & I've got a background in audio production but I only got into making videos a couple of years ago so this is all pretty new to me. I'm loving the process tho 😊⛤
The future is in its own control. Tarot will tell you what you need to hear now. The sinful point of view of Tarot is from a very narrow perspective. Respectful but narrow. I joined KK Tarot School since day one and I had been looking forward to every lesson each Friday and I am very thankful to Kippi for all his effort and humor. Love is what we need 🫶
Kippi thank you for your love support and gifts. Your intelligence and sense of humor are both informative refreshing and hilarious. May the multi verse God or whatever you may subscribe to (I say this respectfully) bless you with all you need. I can't wait for the next video. The world is a better place with you in it sir🙏🏼🪷🐈⬛🧿
Ohlalaaaa .....theres always so much to comment on...🧜♀️🌺🏝 at this point we need a fireplace and case of wine to chicken wrangle these amazing topics! Many blessings to you on this auspicious portal of time we are in.... A funny thought that perhaps I'll be wandering through European Christmas markets in a couple months time....gathering stocking stuffers to accompany your hand delivered Sony C3PO lingers heavily in the back of my reality field ..... Til then I'm couch surfing and eagerly awaiting the fall of Rome ...🎉❤😂
All the greetings of the spooky season to you! 🎃 I hope the couch surfing is only a temporary situation & you find yourself properly housed in time for Christmas 🙏 as we're now heading into the final cards I have a feeling a miracle is on the way! ☆
When I was in my late teens I was very interested in the taro and bought some cards. I started going to church and they convinced me to throw them away. I now regret having listened to their fear tactics because I could of been learning a lot more about myself and how to deal with various things in life. The injustices that happened in the bible are evil not the wisdom of the taro cards.
As a Christian, I read. And there are times I add scripture to my readings. The way I see it is if I have a hammer and I use it to put up shelves or build a house, then I have used it as it was meant to be used. I have used that tool for good. If I use it to rearrange someone's intestines or add a few holes to their person, then I have used it for bad. Same tool different choices. If you feel tarot is wrong, then it is. Don't use them. My walk with Christ is mine. If I ever get to where I feel it's wrong then I will put it away. Unttil then, I will continue to read. And, if memory serves, wasn't the RWS deck made by a *gasp* Christian Mason?! *clutches pearls*
It's true Waite started out as a Catholic before joining the Golden Dawn & went on to form the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, which incorporated elements of Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry & Christian mysticism. I think that's why there's so much Christian imagery in the RWS. Everyone has their own way of looking at the Tarot, for me I see the cards as little mirrors that reflect different aspects of ourselves & I've found that it's entirely compatible with scripture 🃏⛤
I learned today that the reason Christian middle names are a thing is to stop us from being possessed by the devil, because he needs to know your name and the more names you have the harder it is to find out or guess. So Aaron A Aaronson better watch his back! Surely that dressing gown only needs one arm 🥁
Apparently Catholics take the name of their Saint as their middle name, in addition to any other names they'd like. Due to this I have a friend who accidentally ended up with 2 'Pauls' in his name. I would wager that he's pretty safe from the Devil 🤣☆
I was going to say, intention is everything, regardless if we're talking Tarot cards or turnips (see what I did there ;) or, for better sake of the argument, religion. Plus, as was mentioned by many, the bible is RIFE with things many would consider in the "other" category. I find it fascinating many Christians seem to either not know this or conveniently forget it. But regardless, what of the more accepted religious tools of worship; songs, rosary, eating those crackers, chanting, prayer or pennies from heaven. And what about other cultures who use smoke, incense, sweat lodges, fasting, silence, buildings, etc etc. Who gets the right to tell them they're wrong. Personally I believe God is the everything that ever evered and is the purest form of unconditional love that could exist & only wants us to ultimately live our best life without hurting each other ❤
Absolutely, I've always said there's as much Magick in Christianity as anywhere! Historically I think it all boiled down to not wanting to lose control but I know many Christians who've got no issues with Ritual Magick. There's many a priest who are fascinated by the history of Paganism so I guess it comes down to the individual 🃏⛤
Tarot can both be considered good and evil it really just depends on how you use it and it's actually really dangerous for women when they believe that someone loves them when they don't. But it's things like that though you could kind of consider them evil because they convince people of things that aren't true.
@kippi That's how all humans work All humans only hear what they want to hear and they reject anything that they don't want to hear All humans work that way. That's why I said Tarot itself isn't evil but people kind of destroy theirselves with it by believing things that they just want to believe but aren't real. They only click on the videos that they think relate to them they only listen to the things that they want to hear That's how every human being works you only see what you want to see.
(Sorry for the bad english writing I am french and it is easier to understand than using it!) I am a christian but I think that the chruch is full of sinner. No one should speak by the name of God and this is exactly what they do :/ a man cannot say yes you are all forgiven of your sins, this should be God only to choose! And this is one point of so many. I do believe that there is good virtue in the bible and "no divination" I do understand why even if I'm a tarot user (astrology too). You see most of people that need anwser for their futur the root is insecurities (most of the time) this is bad energy to manifest right, this is why you should have faith and believe that God (the univers) got your back. For me it's more of a warning, it is not a sin nor a commendments. For me this is indeed risky, and some people did create some kind of "addiction" to them because again their insecurities, you need to work on them and not "becoming co-dependant" of tools. You know there is some textiles that we shouldn't wear at all, no Christian tell you you'll go to he** for this!! But in the end indeed some textil gives you some health issue it's a warning! You should know the risk of what you are manifesting with your "question" that is all (for me).
Nobody ever went to war in the name of Tarot....same can't be said in the name of God. On a lighter note, I remember reading somewhere "refresh ye your bowels in the Lord" in the Bible. Um....ok. Tarot seems to be filled with Biblical imagery. The Judgement card seems very like the passage in one of the Corinthians about an angel blowing a trumpet and "the dead arising, just as an example.
1. Joseph did divination with a cup (and dream). 2. Abraham rumored to do astrology. 3. A whole system of magic is made around Solomon. The lore is he made the temple with demons (goetic magick). 4. Jonah cast lots. 5. Jesus basically rebuked the others for non reading the signs 6. Revelation talks about the astrology of Jesus birth 7. The high priest has the urim and thummim (a type of yes / no divination) that David used FOR WAR. 8. Psalm 19:1-3 talks about astrology in a positive light 9. Elisha does divination by having Joash fire arrows and he counts the shots And I’m sure there is more… but let the end of the matter be simple, “The lot is cast into the lap but it’s every decision is of the Lord” - Pr 16:33 therefore every divination (according to proverbs) is from God. About the necromancer, so was Jesus with Lazarus 😆and he also was teleported by Satan.. could call that a warlock.. he did magic with the wine. And a ton of things forbidden by Deuteronomy.
@ bahaha ya. I was afraid of divination in the past and took me some “religious courage” to get there. Same goes for stuff like energy work. Who knows maybe someone could open a door to evil but that’s never been the case for me. Usually I find the only evil was my own bias projected into the reading aka misinterpretation lol but who knows maybe that was apart of the plan 🤷 The most extreme thing to happen during any divination practice was after using my pendulum. I was wanting to contact one of my guides or something. After the pendulum I went to the backyard to meditate as a regular practice. And I could FEEL aka sense from a distance a presence in the yard. Best way to put it is it felt like a body builder entered the chat… I was like oh crap… if this being wanted to it could walk right through me… and I kinda tried to telepath to it “only friends here….” Like don’t hurt me.. 😆 but ya all was good “he” kept his distance and respected boundaries. Half a year later I tried to reconnect to the same being. Haven’t done much more as of recent in that regard. But I had a couple other small experiences with the same being. But still I wouldn’t say anything evil. Just… 🤷 call and response?
I'm Think when you are a Christian, the reason why Tarot, spiritualism etc is frowned upon is because you are expeted to operate on pure faith. In faith you shouldnt need to use cards or others forms of diviniation... a spiritualist service, they have a section where they give messages from the other side. Many just go for that and treat it like a side show . I mentioned Tarot to someone at church and they were very disapproving, I agree with Kippi on the do unto others thing and not harming others. There is a member of my church who is so wicked and mean spirited if it wasa matter of life and death , i wouldnt turn to them. So whats worse? I will say, if you get into deep meditative practises and you open the pineal gland you need to be careful. It may sound a bit hokey but you can access diffferent dimensions. YOu need to be careful about what you bring into your house. I say this in all seriousness. THe Tarot is the least of it If you reach that level of perception, Tarot is very powerful. i would say, just have respect for what you are doing . There are many legalistic Christians THey go to church becausse they always have done or like in my family ,it was the social hub Fof all the teaching of the bible, that goes out the window very quickly when someone is slighted or doesnt get their own way Some same being sprititual but not religious is the easy route. Why have a hard route, What is so good about being highly virtuuous ? that doesnt give food to the beggar or give them a bed for the night, I think the bottom line is, if churches started incorperating more esoteric practices like the Tarot it would jjust mean hard work ,I play the organ . After an hour, i feel like my behind is on stone. its my contribution, Its wonderful when you start playing and people sing. FIrst time about 8 years i couldnt believe it was happening. Beign purely religious is very static.
I completely see where you're coming from. I've heard people talk about 'Sunday morning Christians' who sing the loudest & put the most money in the collection plate but are pretty unpleasant the rest of the time. I'd be interested to see what Jesus would make of those people ⛤
Lol, " ...smite us with his big smiting thing..."😊 It's peculiar how some religious people see God as some kind of assassin, hit-man or attack dog. The Christian mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg stated many things about the bible, among them that the bible had been so overwritten its message had been lost. Of course, many christians now call him evil....😊
@kippi There's a channel that 'interprets" his work: off the left eye. The earlier videos are much more informative than the latest ones. Or, for brevity, look at the short video about him "Who was Swedenborg" by the Swedenborg Foundation on y/t.
Kelly-marie Kerr ...has a fantastic utube channel....breaking into the occult meaning of the Bible....(occult as in hidden eye- occultism/the ever elusive hidden "I AM"
I guess these other Christians haven’t read the Bible well enough to remember…oh…Matthew 7:3-5? They need to pull the logs hanging out of their eyes before they tell you about the speck in yours. Did it ever occur to them that pagans were certainly around when Jesus walked the earth? He mentions pagans a few times in the Gospels. But what does he do to them? He leaves them alone, for the most part. He certainly doesn’t smite them. He criticizes them a bit because of the way they pray, if I remember right-something about reciting words over and over but not knowing what they mean? But he leaves them alone. He lets them live their lives and doesn’t get in their way. So why can’t his followers do the same thing? Anyway. I guess that for Christians, the danger lies in getting led astray. As a priest once said to us all in a sermon during Mass one Sunday: There’s nothing wrong with, say…looking at your horoscope in the paper, as long as you don’t take it too seriously. As long as you recognize that it’s a bit of fun for you, it’s okay. The problem comes when you start to take the horoscope in the paper too seriously, to the point where it’s telling you what to do and who to be. That’s when things get problematic. I guess he’s got a point, because you don’t want to have anyone or anything take away your personal freedom. But you could sub in anything for “the horoscope in the paper,” like: playing the lottery. Drugs. Alcohol. The giant strawberry cheesecake in the fridge. Video games. TV. Netflix. On and on. You could sub in any of those things and the message is still the same. So…?
Absolutely, we can become obsessive about anything & allow it to have a negative influence on our lives. Like the Angel of Temperance says, it's all about balance ⚖️⛤
@@kippiTrue. And this is where folks need to be properly trained when they want to get into tarot-because thanks to shows like “Agatha All Along,” people are a lot more curious about what tarot is and what it can do. At Reddit, I’ve seen folks in the /tarot subreddit talk about tarot as if it’s the gospel truth. Putting it on a pedestal because it’s extremely accurate. I think that’s where the danger could lie-putting anything on a pedestal and regarding it as this rock-solid truth, as if it’s indestructible and infallible. And that’s just not true. But if folks aren’t trained properly, they could go down a path that isn’t healthy for them. Because what happens when their fistful of tarot cards suddenly isn’t so accurate for them after all? What happens when their cards fail them in some other way? What are they going to do then?
@ElizaHamilton1780 I always tell my friends "Tarot is not a way of life. You are in control of your life. My reading is here to help you look at things a bit differently. Take what resonates. Leave what doesn't." and so far they understand that. There were always be those who take things too far and even blame others for their problems. But that goes deeper I suppose.
I disagree with the notion that it's sinful I also don't think Christians should vote or worry about who's going to be president God would not want you guys to vote because all the candidates to do is lie and slander one another
People would be surprised, there's actually a lot of spell work in the Old Testament. A medieval card game wasn't part of it.
Very true 🃏☆
I would love some references from exact books & lines in the Bible so I can better defend tarot.
I think the thing that irritates religious people the most is that tarot is more helpful to people than religion.
Hear hear! 🃏⛤

I'm so glad you came through that time. I think the Tarot just shows us the truth & sometimes we might not be ready for it but I have faith that the Sun is waiting for us on the other side 🌞⛤
I use tarot daily as part of my meditation practice. I always find new and beautiful ways to interpret their meaning.
No matter how many times I read for clients, I am amazed at how tarot offers validation and support. But again, its all how you use it. 😊
Absolutely! Tarot has been nothing but a force for good in my life 🃏⛤
As a tarot lover. I always do my best to educate people on their use. They are always shocked. Then they want their cards read.
I've done many a reading for people who thought it was just a bit of fun & have left with a completely different perspective 🃏⛤
Thank you so much for this video. It is brilliant and has been extremely helpful to me. I am really pleased that a friend of mine introduced me to your channel.
Glad it was helpful!🃏⛤

Happy Halloween, Kippi! Thanks for the video. I hope you’re not getting hate mail for making these cool videos 🥺
I get the odd comment but nothing too bad 😅⛤
I was feeling restless and completely out of it, but you’ve not only calmed me down, but gave me that warm fuzzy tickling feeling inside. A genuine ear-to-ear smile at 17:55 ! You absolutely rock.
Thank you so much & a very happy All Saints Day! I'm already looking forward to next Halloween 🎃⛤
@ You said it!!
You guys are awesome! Love this channel. ❤
Thanks so much! 😊☆
Very excited for these different videos you have down the line! I just got back from my first event doing readings for the first time, found the way you explained the meanings in each video so helpful when interpreting! Thank you Kippi! 🩵
Well done for getting out there & reading! That's so cool!!! I'm excited for what's coming next too, and a little nervous 😅⛤
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them to educate others.
I'm glad you like them 😊⛤
Such a great video! It made me laugh and learn so much. Thank you for your effort ❤
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it 😊⛤
Once, I had my cards read by a girl who was using both a tarot deck and an oracle deck with Bible quotes. I live in Mexico and around here Catholicism generally disapproves of tarot, but I find it funny how occult and esoteric traditions in this part of the world are all scrambled up and mostly have a clear Christian flavor. I've met a lot of readers in person and on the internet, and you may find it surprising how most of them pray or use the Bible as part of their rituals and practice.
Absolutely, I know quite a few Christians who are happy to use the Tarot & other 'forbidden' things like astrology. I read the Bible & in my studies I've found that Ritual Magick & Christianity are intrinsically linked 🙏⛤
As I understand it tarot and other forms of divination allow the querent time to reflect on their life. Wisdom and possible solutions are offered which may or may not be taken onboard by the querent. As a psychologist I see tarot as a healthy pause to reflect on life, one which may have been missed had the tarot not been invented.
I completely agree, it's helped me immeasurably in seeing things from a new perspective & has been nothing but beneficial to my life. It's great to hear from a psychologist, I think the Tarot is a wonderful psychological tool 🃏⛤
@kippi Reflection and introspection are encouraged early on in psychology and counselling degree courses. Psychologists are encouraged not only to study the minds and behaviours of others but also their own reactions, assumptions and biases. For this to be possible we have to look inward.
I'm sure there are statistically significant results online outlining the benefits of divination that are proven to be reliable; worth a search on Google Scholar.
There are also significant results regarding prayer and meditation as tools to deepen our understanding of ourselves and others and also to bring people together. Your video is a very good compare and contrast study on both divination and religiosity.

Thank you❤@@kippi
A great video.. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it ☆
Happy Halloween/Blessed Samhain from Vancouver, Canada!
I’ve been binge watching your excellently researched, written, presented, and produced videos. I have been interested in the Taro for years and your unique presentation is helping with learning them. I know your focus is on Ritual Magic, but as an Eclectic Witch - I’d recommend these videos to anyone interested in learning the history and meaning behind the cards.
Are you a theatre or entertainment professional (actor, technical producer, etc). These videos are very professional and well made.
Best wishes with your continued Kwest. I’m happy to be joining in 😀
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I've been a musician all my life & I've got a background in audio production but I only got into making videos a couple of years ago so this is all pretty new to me. I'm loving the process tho 😊⛤
Another great video Kippi! ✨
Thank you Zodiac lady! ♏⛤
Very well put together.
Thank you ⛤
The future is in its own control. Tarot will tell you what you need to hear now.
The sinful point of view of Tarot is from a very narrow perspective. Respectful but narrow. I joined KK Tarot School since day one and I had been looking forward to every lesson each Friday and I am very thankful to Kippi for all his effort and humor.
Love is what we need 🫶
Thank you! I think that Tarot is whatever we make it & in my experience it's been nothing but a force for good 🃏⛤
Kippi thank you for your love support and gifts. Your intelligence and sense of humor are both informative refreshing and hilarious. May the multi verse God or whatever you may subscribe to (I say this respectfully) bless you with all you need. I can't wait for the next video. The world is a better place with you in it sir🙏🏼🪷🐈⬛🧿
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words! Blessings to you 😊⛤
Ohlalaaaa .....theres always so much to comment on...🧜♀️🌺🏝 at this point we need a fireplace and case of wine to chicken wrangle these amazing topics!
Many blessings to you on this auspicious portal of time we are in....
A funny thought that perhaps I'll be wandering through European Christmas markets in a couple months time....gathering stocking stuffers to accompany your hand delivered Sony C3PO lingers heavily in the back of my reality field .....

All the greetings of the spooky season to you! 🎃 I hope the couch surfing is only a temporary situation & you find yourself properly housed in time for Christmas 🙏 as we're now heading into the final cards I have a feeling a miracle is on the way! ☆
I think I've heard of mrs. Buttocks.... and her husband 🤣Great subject Kippi, very interesting! Cheers 🙏
I miss Python!!! ☆
When I was in my late teens I was very interested in the taro and bought some cards. I started going to church and they convinced me to throw them away. I now regret having listened to their fear tactics because I could of been learning a lot more about myself and how to deal with various things in life. The injustices that happened in the bible are evil not the wisdom of the taro cards.
Absolutely, they're happy to say that the cards are evil but they never talk about the horrible things that Christianity has been responsible for 🃏⛤
I LOVE YOU KIPPI!!!!!!
Gosh! Thank you 😊☆
I looooveee youuuu kipppyyyy
Thank you! 🃏⛤
I think one reason why fortune telling , tarot etc is seen as evil has its roots in racism and misogyny. Happy Halloween 🎃

As a Christian, I read. And there are times I add scripture to my readings.
The way I see it is if I have a hammer and I use it to put up shelves or build a house, then I have used it as it was meant to be used. I have used that tool for good. If I use it to rearrange someone's intestines or add a few holes to their person, then I have used it for bad. Same tool different choices.
If you feel tarot is wrong, then it is. Don't use them. My walk with Christ is mine. If I ever get to where I feel it's wrong then I will put it away. Unttil then, I will continue to read.
And, if memory serves, wasn't the RWS deck made by a *gasp* Christian Mason?!
*clutches pearls*
It's true Waite started out as a Catholic before joining the Golden Dawn & went on to form the Fellowship of the Rosy Cross, which incorporated elements of Rosicrucianism, Freemasonry & Christian mysticism. I think that's why there's so much Christian imagery in the RWS.
Everyone has their own way of looking at the Tarot, for me I see the cards as little mirrors that reflect different aspects of ourselves & I've found that it's entirely compatible with scripture 🃏⛤
I learned today that the reason Christian middle names are a thing is to stop us from being possessed by the devil, because he needs to know your name and the more names you have the harder it is to find out or guess. So Aaron A Aaronson better watch his back!
Surely that dressing gown only needs one arm 🥁
Apparently Catholics take the name of their Saint as their middle name, in addition to any other names they'd like. Due to this I have a friend who accidentally ended up with 2 'Pauls' in his name. I would wager that he's pretty safe from the Devil 🤣☆
@@kippi Paul Squared 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that'll show those demons. I was fortunate enough to be able to choose my own confirmation name and avoid being Angela cubed
I was going to say, intention is everything, regardless if we're talking Tarot cards or turnips (see what I did there ;) or, for better sake of the argument, religion. Plus, as was mentioned by many, the bible is RIFE with things many would consider in the "other" category. I find it fascinating many Christians seem to either not know this or conveniently forget it. But regardless, what of the more accepted religious tools of worship; songs, rosary, eating those crackers, chanting, prayer or pennies from heaven. And what about other cultures who use smoke, incense, sweat lodges, fasting, silence, buildings, etc etc. Who gets the right to tell them they're wrong. Personally I believe God is the everything that ever evered and is the purest form of unconditional love that could exist & only wants us to ultimately live our best life without hurting each other ❤
Absolutely, I've always said there's as much Magick in Christianity as anywhere!
Historically I think it all boiled down to not wanting to lose control but I know many Christians who've got no issues with Ritual Magick. There's many a priest who are fascinated by the history of Paganism so I guess it comes down to the individual 🃏⛤
@kippi Interesting & makes total sense since (nice combo eh) so much about retaining control has to do with self interest/$/power!
You amazing 👏 🤩
Thank you 😁⛤
😂😂😂😂 if there was any edition that I was ever going except it would be the King James version 👍💯💯💯
Tarot can both be considered good and evil it really just depends on how you use it and it's actually really dangerous for women when they believe that someone loves them when they don't. But it's things like that though you could kind of consider them evil because they convince people of things that aren't true.
I think the danger lies in people convincing themselves. I've done many a love reading where people will only listen to what they want to hear 🙉⛤
@kippi That's how all humans work All humans only hear what they want to hear and they reject anything that they don't want to hear All humans work that way. That's why I said Tarot itself isn't evil but people kind of destroy theirselves with it by believing things that they just want to believe but aren't real. They only click on the videos that they think relate to them they only listen to the things that they want to hear That's how every human being works you only see what you want to see.
You're right and it's a real shame. The Tarot is such a fantastic tool for showing people the truth but often they don't want to see it ⛤
(Sorry for the bad english writing I am french and it is easier to understand than using it!)
I am a christian but I think that the chruch is full of sinner. No one should speak by the name of God and this is exactly what they do :/ a man cannot say yes you are all forgiven of your sins, this should be God only to choose! And this is one point of so many.
I do believe that there is good virtue in the bible and "no divination" I do understand why even if I'm a tarot user (astrology too).
You see most of people that need anwser for their futur the root is insecurities (most of the time) this is bad energy to manifest right, this is why you should have faith and believe that God (the univers) got your back. For me it's more of a warning, it is not a sin nor a commendments. For me this is indeed risky, and some people did create some kind of "addiction" to them because again their insecurities, you need to work on them and not "becoming co-dependant" of tools.
You know there is some textiles that we shouldn't wear at all, no Christian tell you you'll go to he** for this!! But in the end indeed some textil gives you some health issue it's a warning! You should know the risk of what you are manifesting with your "question" that is all (for me).
Thank you for your perspective, I agree that people shouldn't depend on things as a crutch 🃏☆
Nobody ever went to war in the name of Tarot....same can't be said in the name of God. On a lighter note, I remember reading somewhere "refresh ye your bowels in the Lord" in the Bible. Um....ok. Tarot seems to be filled with Biblical imagery. The Judgement card seems very like the passage in one of the Corinthians about an angel blowing a trumpet and "the dead arising, just as an example.
It certainly is, Waite was a Catholic & the Marseille Tarot was full of Christian imagery. I'm gonna make a video about it ✝️⛤
Wizards are real Kippie 😊
I was just kidding 😅🧙🏻♀️⛤
What does God, Source have to say about it? Divination tools have been around for centuries. It's all about energy and intention.
1. Joseph did divination with a cup (and dream).
2. Abraham rumored to do astrology.
3. A whole system of magic is made around Solomon. The lore is he made the temple with demons (goetic magick).
4. Jonah cast lots.
5. Jesus basically rebuked the others for non reading the signs
6. Revelation talks about the astrology of Jesus birth
7. The high priest has the urim and thummim (a type of yes / no divination) that David used FOR WAR.
8. Psalm 19:1-3 talks about astrology in a positive light
9. Elisha does divination by having Joash fire arrows and he counts the shots
And I’m sure there is more… but let the end of the matter be simple,
“The lot is cast into the lap but it’s every decision is of the Lord” - Pr 16:33 therefore every divination (according to proverbs) is from God.
About the necromancer, so was Jesus with Lazarus 😆and he also was teleported by Satan.. could call that a warlock.. he did magic with the wine. And a ton of things forbidden by Deuteronomy.
Wow, that is a comprehensive list and it just goes to show how much the scriptures contradict each other when taken literally 🃏⛤
@ bahaha ya. I was afraid of divination in the past and took me some “religious courage” to get there. Same goes for stuff like energy work. Who knows maybe someone could open a door to evil but that’s never been the case for me. Usually I find the only evil was my own bias projected into the reading aka misinterpretation lol but who knows maybe that was apart of the plan 🤷
The most extreme thing to happen during any divination practice was after using my pendulum. I was wanting to contact one of my guides or something. After the pendulum I went to the backyard to meditate as a regular practice. And I could FEEL aka sense from a distance a presence in the yard. Best way to put it is it felt like a body builder entered the chat… I was like oh crap… if this being wanted to it could walk right through me… and I kinda tried to telepath to it “only friends here….” Like don’t hurt me.. 😆 but ya all was good “he” kept his distance and respected boundaries. Half a year later I tried to reconnect to the same being. Haven’t done much more as of recent in that regard. But I had a couple other small experiences with the same being. But still I wouldn’t say anything evil. Just… 🤷 call and response?
I'm Think when you are a Christian, the reason why Tarot, spiritualism etc is frowned upon is because you are expeted to operate on pure faith. In faith you shouldnt need to use cards or others forms of diviniation... a spiritualist service, they have a section where they give messages from the other side. Many just go for that and treat it like a side show . I mentioned Tarot to someone at church and they were very disapproving, I agree with Kippi on the do unto others thing and not harming others. There is a member of my church who is so wicked and mean spirited if it wasa matter of life and death , i wouldnt turn to them. So whats worse? I will say, if you get into deep meditative practises and you open the pineal gland you need to be careful. It may sound a bit hokey but you can access diffferent dimensions. YOu need to be careful about what you bring into your house. I say this in all seriousness. THe Tarot is the least of it If you reach that level of perception, Tarot is very powerful. i would say, just have respect for what you are doing . There are many legalistic Christians THey go to church becausse they always have done or like in my family ,it was the social hub Fof all the teaching of the bible, that goes out the window very quickly when someone is slighted or doesnt get their own way Some same being sprititual but not religious is the easy route. Why have a hard route, What is so good about being highly virtuuous ? that doesnt give food to the beggar or give them a bed for the night, I think the bottom line is, if churches started incorperating more esoteric practices like the Tarot it would jjust mean hard work ,I play the organ . After an hour, i feel like my behind is on stone. its my contribution, Its wonderful when you start playing and people sing. FIrst time about 8 years i couldnt believe it was happening. Beign purely religious is very static.
I completely see where you're coming from. I've heard people talk about 'Sunday morning Christians' who sing the loudest & put the most money in the collection plate but are pretty unpleasant the rest of the time. I'd be interested to see what Jesus would make of those people ⛤
Lol, " ...smite us with his big smiting thing..."😊 It's peculiar how some religious people see God as some kind of assassin, hit-man or attack dog. The Christian mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg stated many things about the bible, among them that the bible had been so overwritten its message had been lost. Of course, many christians now call him evil....😊
He sounds like a really interesting character, I'm gonna look into him 🤔⛤
@kippi There's a channel that 'interprets" his work: off the left eye. The earlier videos are much more informative than the latest ones. Or, for brevity, look at the short video about him "Who was Swedenborg" by the Swedenborg Foundation on y/t.
@dragonflyparade8143 thank you, I'll have a look at those 👀⛤
Kelly-marie Kerr ...has a fantastic utube channel....breaking into the occult meaning of the Bible....(occult as in hidden eye- occultism/the ever elusive hidden "I AM"
Your all ducks and now must fear the wrath of fire and brimstone ⚡️
You know whats evil? Toasting people for not recognising your existence. Especially when you could just pop in and say hi.
Hope everything's ok ⛤
😊👏🏽🇬🇧❤️👍🏽
I guess these other Christians haven’t read the Bible well enough to remember…oh…Matthew 7:3-5? They need to pull the logs hanging out of their eyes before they tell you about the speck in yours.
Did it ever occur to them that pagans were certainly around when Jesus walked the earth? He mentions pagans a few times in the Gospels. But what does he do to them? He leaves them alone, for the most part. He certainly doesn’t smite them. He criticizes them a bit because of the way they pray, if I remember right-something about reciting words over and over but not knowing what they mean? But he leaves them alone. He lets them live their lives and doesn’t get in their way. So why can’t his followers do the same thing?
Anyway. I guess that for Christians, the danger lies in getting led astray. As a priest once said to us all in a sermon during Mass one Sunday: There’s nothing wrong with, say…looking at your horoscope in the paper, as long as you don’t take it too seriously. As long as you recognize that it’s a bit of fun for you, it’s okay. The problem comes when you start to take the horoscope in the paper too seriously, to the point where it’s telling you what to do and who to be. That’s when things get problematic.
I guess he’s got a point, because you don’t want to have anyone or anything take away your personal freedom. But you could sub in anything for “the horoscope in the paper,” like: playing the lottery. Drugs. Alcohol. The giant strawberry cheesecake in the fridge. Video games. TV. Netflix. On and on. You could sub in any of those things and the message is still the same. So…?
Absolutely, we can become obsessive about anything & allow it to have a negative influence on our lives. Like the Angel of Temperance says, it's all about balance ⚖️⛤
@@kippiTrue. And this is where folks need to be properly trained when they want to get into tarot-because thanks to shows like “Agatha All Along,” people are a lot more curious about what tarot is and what it can do.
At Reddit, I’ve seen folks in the /tarot subreddit talk about tarot as if it’s the gospel truth. Putting it on a pedestal because it’s extremely accurate. I think that’s where the danger could lie-putting anything on a pedestal and regarding it as this rock-solid truth, as if it’s indestructible and infallible. And that’s just not true. But if folks aren’t trained properly, they could go down a path that isn’t healthy for them. Because what happens when their fistful of tarot cards suddenly isn’t so accurate for them after all? What happens when their cards fail them in some other way? What are they going to do then?
@ElizaHamilton1780 I always tell my friends "Tarot is not a way of life. You are in control of your life. My reading is here to help you look at things a bit differently. Take what resonates. Leave what doesn't." and so far they understand that.
There were always be those who take things too far and even blame others for their problems. But that goes deeper I suppose.
I disagree with the notion that it's sinful I also don't think Christians should vote or worry about who's going to be president God would not want you guys to vote because all the candidates to do is lie and slander one another
Hahahaha… Harps, eh? 🤣
I'm so glad they pointed that out, I thought they were harping with tambourines! 😅⛤
