Historically, many Christians have viewed tarot cards with suspicion because some people use them for divination—attempting to predict the future or seek hidden knowledge through spiritual means. Critics often point to passages such as:
* Deuteronomy 18:10–12, which condemns practices associated with divination and sorcery.
* Leviticus 19:26 and 19:31, which warn against seeking omens and mediums.
* Isaiah 8:19, which advises seeking God rather than spiritists.
However, there is another interpretation that has become popular among some Christian mystics, contemplatives, and spiritual seekers: that tarot is not necessarily about fortune-telling at all. In this view, tarot functions more like a collection of symbolic stories that encourage self-reflection, much as parables do.
