I agree with the above re relating to someone who is essentially at odds with your path but I feel the title; ethics in tarot ... generally ...could do with a VAST examination.
I've thought about this quite a lot for my own spirituality. It also worries me about if I ever wanted to go pro. However there is many people who give advice day to day! Priests, health and mental health workers, hairdressers, all sorts of people. Is it right if they for example told someone to leave their partner?
We hear advice all the time but we have a final choice about acting on it. Same with astrology and tarot readings. Getting one is getting a readers interpretation and version of your future or how to solve your situations. The person giving the reading has a responsibility to be ethical in what they are giving and the person getting a reading has to be responsible in realising that there is many variables in divination. No one ever has 100% accurate readings and things might change. There is an element of free will in this, the reader just gives advice but doesn't force the sitter to take it or believe it.
I think their view is a little too simplistic, it forgets the person chose to get that reading and decides what parts of the reading to act on perhaps try and educate them more about what really happens
There is a difference between talking about what is 'ethics' and discussing a person who is acting like schmuck ... so, what is this thread about, exactly?
I think I am seconding this. Ethics is something quite different, and tarot does not have a special set, they are what your ethics are.
