Just talked to my Rabbi and she said as long as I don’t live my entire life and make all my decisions by the cards then it’s ok

The Torah says (laws of Mosus) women practicing witchcraft shall be put to death. God also instructs Saul via the tabernacle to destroy all the items he seizes from a sorcerer king in battle and when Saul doesn’t, he becomes enthralled/cursed/intermittently possessed/harassed by demons. I’m not certain if your Rabbi is joking or if they are illiterate but that’s one of the clearest things spelled out in ancient Jewish scripture.

They might just not put any stock into tarot being a real form of magic. I don’t.

*Rather that might have been Moses/tabernacle > prophet Samuel > Saul (it’s been awhile since I studied those texts) But you figure tarot cards allow for the craftsman or craftswomen of the cards to narrow the field of possibility to what they put on the cards and omit connection to legitimate divine authority, it draws faith and violates the first and second commandment. (Or so that’s the logic that was given to me on tarot crafted by human hands as opposed to drawing lots/straw like Jonah)

Like, OP, you might honestly do better to craft your own cards inspired by your Jewish faith/stories rather than utilize anything you can buy/was tampered with by others hands. I’ve found many tarot decks contain subtle curses that sustain the idea “all magic does not give, it only takes” by pushing the curse onwards onto the user of the deck, to benefit the craftsman/craftswoman. Don’t make Saul’s mistake utilizing the tools of others sorcery. Everything carries a vibe. Every carbon atom 1/2

2/2 carries the story of its existence through time. (Quartz is the crystal watchmakers measure frequency disparity to synch clocks and measure linear time) Your story is your own. Only you + The Universe/God should be the author.

The Torah says a lot of people should be put to death and mutilated for many many reasons and practices that we do today. I’m reform and more culturally Jewish than anything, but I appreciate it.

You’re absolutely right. I humbly advise you still study the heritage/text for pragmatic benefit and cultural connection still. I found the diet/clothing stuff to have immense health benefit. There’s also an immense amount in them about magic/sorcery if you get your hands on the books about Solomon that weren’t made for the masses. My theory on why Saul went insane was keeping that many shiny/golden idols/weapons with intricate decor: the mind doesn’t remember pleasure or pain itself, it 1/2

2/2 remembers the pattern leading up to pain/pleasure. So once he surrounds himself and his people with items that cause him to remember the pain behind them, and them being as shiny/strange as they were, his imagination’s ability to model/dream of such things was altered. Since he passed them out to his people rather than destroy them, it would have been immensely difficult for him to admit he was wrong to keep the cursed items and he was just constantly reminded of his mistake, with his 2/3

3/3 only reprieve being when David starts playing the harp, 🪉, sort of drowning out the thoughts and reminders of his pain, reminding him he is not the mistakes he recently made, he was the one God chose to be king once in the past, and still had a duty to fulfill while he wore the crown. Very beautiful and poetic when you consider that was a connection in “vibe” between David and Saul.
