    The way that I think about these things is that it’s like flipping a coin to make a decision. It doesn’t really matter what the coin says, but if you feel happy or disappointed in the result, that tells you what you really need to know. Tarot’s like that but with a bit more depth. The value from the reading is that it encourages introspection.

      it’s like flipping a coin

      That’s exactly what the I Ching is (or you flip yarrow stalks). And that’s exactly what it does, and it’s what the fellow above gets from it.

      My mom was a hippy and I used to do it as a kid, as a sort of punishment when I was having a freak out. It’s easier to listen to random alternate views from a book than some woo-woo-guru.
