Quote by J. W. Ocker

“Tea's like magic, man. I felt like I could slip a tea reading into a church potluck and everyone would be amused, as opposed to the horrified reaction I'd get slamming a deck of Tarot cards beside the green bean casserole.”

“Divination” derives from the Latin word divinatio, to divine. Whatever the method, when we do a divination we seek to understand, in some small way, the spiritual patterns that underlie our lives. Divination systems, especially the more elaborate ones, almost always reflect a religious or philosophical system. We may read the Tarot as a party game, but the game works because the symbols on the Tarot cards describe the deeper truths that give meaning to our lives. And it works because the Tarot consists of pictures rather than words. While it is true that people have written hundreds of books about the Tarot, and that most people who want to use the cards in a reading look up their meanings in a book such as this one, the Tarot remains first and foremost pictures - mysterious, evocative, suggestive of whole worlds of meaning.”

He asserted that everything that takes place at a particular moment of time has the qualities of that moment, and that all events taking place at the same time are connected. [...] The fall of the I Ching's coins, the Tarot card spread or the fall of the runes are 'meaningful coincidences' that reflect present and future events.”

“The cards are simply a tool, she says, and they should not be idolized, especially because they were given to us by a dead white man. “I’m sure he was as good as they’ll ever be, but he was still a colonizer and a businessman. Selling the cards as the only tool people could use to divinate and erasing the fact that many of us had been doing it very well without any tools at all,” she likes to remind me.”
