"Some things have to be believed to be seen."
- Ralph Hodgson
Ah, rumors and tarot, tarot and rumors.
Here are 12 Top Tarot Myths that make the rounds regularly:
- Gettting a reading will make something bad happen to you.
- The reader has to dress like a gypsy (and wear a turban, heavy makeup, have lots of rings, and have a fake mole) to make it happen.
- You can't read it if you ain't psychic.
- It comes from Atlantis.
- There is only one way to read the cards.
- The reading outcome is fated/unchangeable.
- You can't read the cards for yourself.
- Smart people don't read tarot (tell that to the professors, doctors, teachers, librarians, attorneys, authors, poets, and businessmen who use it regularly).
- Tarot is a religion.
- It will advise you to do something bad.
- It can't be reliably read by email or phone.
- All tarot readers are scam artists. (actuallly, many of us are honest people who work as positive, professional, powerful agents of growth, who truly have your best interest in mind and want you to reach forward in your life).
Have you ever heard any myths about Tarot that have surprised you?
Here's wishing you a truth-filled week of tarot!

Donnaleigh, This is fabulous. I have always been a 'Gypsy" and dress up every day in my "Costume of the Day" , which comes from my many years of being a dancer and performer and entertainer! I do believe we all have a mission to enlighten people about the Tarot. Tarot is so beautiful, and brings so much light into people's lives.. so much hope and promise. The Tarot cards open doors and show us the way to new portals we may never have ventured into without the friendship and support of the Arcana.

There's nothing like a good costume! Sometimes I like to dress up, too. (But reading in blue jeans works just as well).
Toni, what a world indeed.

This was my fave: ""They come from Atlantis."
Craziest one I heard: The cards need to be stored in deck order or they lose their energy.

OMG, if they had to be put in order every time, I'd have to quit, lol. I just can't be that organized. I'm always on the fly! I was told once I was opening a portal. I though, "Uh....YUH....to the mind!"
