Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), LTh, DD Dear Alexandra: Play the Tarot Cards, or using regular cards as Tarot, is doing divination. This is a sin against the First Commandment, which makes it one of the worse sins you can commit. The First Commandment is to have no other God before the True God. Your seeking information from Tarot is seeking information from the devil. The Catechism states clearly: Divination and magic 2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility. 2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future.(Cf. Deut 18:10; Jer 29:8.) Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone. 2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity. It is grave sin to do this. You need to go to confession and try to never use Tarot again. I agree, that you should throw away all playing cards, since they can be used for Tarot, in order to avoid the temptation.

Dear Alexandra:

Play the Tarot Cards, or using regular cards as Tarot, is doing divination. This is a sin against the First Commandment, which makes it one of the worse sins you can commit. The First Commandment is to have no other God before the True God. Your seeking information from Tarot is seeking information from the devil.

The Catechism states clearly:

Divination and magic

2115 God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.

2116 All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to "unveil" the future.(Cf. Deut 18:10; Jer 29:8.)

They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.

2117 All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion.
