Tarot spreads?

All the articles on Tarot don’t have anything about the different tarot spreads. There are a lot, too many to list in an article, but we could at least do the more common ones, like the Celtic cross spread and the three-card spread. 98.97.36.166 (talk) 03:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of criticism concerning its effectiveness

One of the most obvious criticisms of tarot is that some people don't know if it works at all, or if it is even useful rather than a waste of time. It should be reflected in the criticism section.

I'm unsure which sources might suggest that these skeptics exist, even though it seems self-evident that they do.

We do have to be careful to maintain the NPOV, when doing so. Color511511 (talk) 15:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"even useful rather than a waste of time" It is a form of divination. The main article on the topic already states: "experiments do not support the idea that divination techniques can actually predict the future more reliably or precisely than would be possible without it."
