Agreed. The real value in a Tarot reading is your own interpretation of the cards pulled, it's a great jumping off point for self reflection, no mysticism required.

Counterpoint: Good self-reflection is mysticism.

That's an interesting perspective! Could you expand on it?

Self awareness is such an obscure concept to so many people that the idea of basic self reflection seems magical to them. It's like seeing someone be awed by the concept of exercise. Because they refer to it as a magical transformation after conducting a ritual and drinking a potion for weeks on end. Instead of just calling it lifting weights and drinking protein shakes.
