It’s very much the approach I take. I come from a strong skeptical background, so it was the easiest way for me to take tarot seriously at first. Baby steps, you know. The more I read tarot, though, I’m finding this approach limiting in its explanatory power. The accuracy, and sometimes predictive nature, of reading tarot seems to render it as more than an elaborate Rorschach test.
I just have to say I think it's awesome that skeptical folks are able to enjoy Tarot as much as wanna soothsayers like m'self. When I try to think of how it could really be working to see the future I dip my toes into the pool of abject terror that I'm just talking to pieces of cardboard. I can see how a system like Tarot Analysis can work whether or not there is anything out there (or in here) greater than ourselves.
