So many misconceptions about Tarot are still around…
Here are three of the most common tarot myths I get asked about👀
1. “You must be psychic to read tarot.”
Anyone can learn. You don’t need a special gift to start reading — intuition is like a muscle: the more you practice, the stronger it gets. With time, you gain confidence in your first impressions, and your intuitive side naturally develops. Honestly, many readers (myself included!) notice that the more they read, the more “psychic” they feel and become.
2. “The deck has to be a gift.”
This comes from old traditions where a gifted deck was said to carry “clean energy” and show true commitment. But the truth is: what really matters is your bond with your cards. If I had waited for someone to gift me my first deck, I’d probably still be waiting…😅
3. “Tarot is dangerous.”
Tarot is neither good nor bad — it’s a symbolic language. The intention behind it is what matters. Some people use it to connect with guides, ancestors, their higher self, Spirit, God, or their own unconscious. You can use it for creativity, personal reflection and many more . Could someone use it for darker purposes? Maybe.
But what’s truly dangerous is when a tarot reader takes away the autonomy of the seeker — making them believe the future is fixed, and leaving them dependent.
Tarot is not something to fear. On the contrary, it can be a powerful tool for empowerment. It brings clarity, opens up new perspectives, and helps you make conscious choices.
The whole debate about prediction vs. tarot as a tool for self-discovery deserves its own post — but for now, let’s just say it can be a powerful ally for knowing yourself better.
