Reading tarot has been in practice for hundreds of years. This practice is widely used and more common all over the world today than ever before and is not a tool used only by "witches" or "devil worshipers". Many Christians use tarot as a form of connecting with God and His angels.
Below are a few examples of why some use tarot cards and a few steps on how you can use them. I strongly encourage you to research more on the subject of tarot and find a way to use them that resonates with you and your needs. This is not a one size fits all practice. You will always have someone somewhere dictating to you how you should/shouldn't use them. When this happens just remember the old saying...Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them. In other words, what works for them may not work for you, so stay true to yourself and what feel right to you.
Reasons for Using Tarot
Self-Reflection: Tarot can provide insights into one's thoughts and feelings, promoting personal growth and self-awareness.
Decision-Making: It can help clarify choices and options, guiding individuals in making informed decisions.
Problem-Solving: Tarot can offer new perspectives on challenges and obstacles, encouraging creative solutions.

How to Use Tarot
Choose a Tarot Deck: Select a deck that resonates with you, as there are many styles and themes available.
Learn the Basics: Familiarize yourself with the meanings of the cards, including the Major and Minor Arcana.
Set an Intention: Before a reading, clarify what you want to explore or understand.
Surround yourself with protection: Saying a protection prayer is up to you and what you are comfortable with. Light a protection candle and have protection crystals such as black tourmaline, or clear quartz to keep any negativity from coming into your space.
Shuffle the Cards: While focusing on your question or intention, shuffle the cards to infuse your energy into them.
Draw Cards: Select a certain number of cards based on your chosen spread (e.g., one-card draw, three-card spread, etc.).
Interpret the Cards: Analyze the cards drawn in relation to your question, considering their meanings and positions in the spread.
Reflect: Take time to contemplate the reading and how it applies to your life or situation.
Conclusion
Tarot can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, guidance, and entertainment. By understanding how to use it effectively, individuals can unlock valuable insights and enhance their personal journeys. There is so much information about tarot and literally hundreds of different types of decks to choose from. Again, I strongly encourage you to do your research and educate yourself before using any deck.
