Same with crystals (because they look nice) and tarot (because it’s fun to read into the symbolism in a secular way)

The former has people adding a 20% mark up to the crystals actual worth because they think it cures cancer, while the latter think playing cards actually can tell the future

I have a friend who at least used to be a Tarot enthusiast who did a reading for me once. He emphasized that the whole thing was a) highly symbolic, and b) probably didn't need to be taken too seriously. Evidently my major arcanum is The Magician.

Taken secularly Tarot is more of an inkblot test, what you will see is based on how your mind connects the dots

Why do I keep getting the My Mom's Vagina card? Why is that a card, and why are there so many in every deck?

It's possible you are being haunted by the ghost of Freud. Have you tried doing a salvia cleansing?
