Some believe that tarot cards can be used to predict the future, but others do not. According to Regina’s card reader downtown, it’s a centuries-old practice and a cultural tradition he won’t let go of.
“People don’t understand our culture at all, so they’re afraid,” said Dino Karefos. “That’s why they hate it.”
Callefoss began reading Tarot cards when he was five years old.
According to him, historically card reading is Roma and its origins date back to biblical times.
But when Callefos has to defend his profession, it’s nothing special.
“There is a huge misconception that we are addicted to witchcraft or that there is a gypsy curse,” he says. “There’s no such thing as a curse… The problem is people are starting to believe this garbage.”
But Callefos said there are misuses of tarot card readings, especially when extorting money from customers.
“The trick with Tarot cards is to show you what path you’re on,” he said. “Reading shows you the path you are on, so you can get there. Prevent it, correct it… Reading is a guide, consult a psychologist.” It makes little difference.”
According to Roger Petrie, a professor of philosophy at the University of Regina, history says that tarot cards began to be used for that kind of divination purpose in the 1780s, or tarot reading.
Tarot cards began as playing cards, he says, and old illustrated cards began to take shape as spiritual tools.
“Some of the tarot cards have very specific meanings already attached to them, or they just pop out of the cards,” says Petrie.
“You don’t have to be specially trained to know history…that’s why I think they have something special. They have very attractive details for those who want to use them for that purpose.” increase.”
