In a similar vein I like to observe myself and my thoughts when it comes to tarot cards.
I know they are not real, but by focusing on my own cognitive biases and wishes I can extract more information about my subconscious mind and potentially solve my problems.
- uoaei 3y agoThis is the entire point of divination tools -- to bring something of yourself into it so that the interaction between the reading and your reactions to it help to inform your perspective. I read I Ching but it's the same kind of thing. Astrology makes no sense to me because there is no interaction as I describe, just directives. There's no reason to believe they don't equally apply to everyone[1]. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnum_effect https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnum_effect
