Question

Update: My dad is against Tarot cards, but I want to use it for self-reflection. Should I buy it anyway?

Answer

Yes — if you're an adult making your own money, a tool for self-reflection is yours to choose. But the real question here isn't the deck, it's the conversation with your dad, and tarot cards won't tell you more about that than a calm talk will.

Three things worth sorting out before you buy:

  • What's behind his objection. Religious, superstition, or "divination is harmful"? The reply that lands for one won't land for another.
  • The "self-reflection" frame. If your use is reading meanings and journaling prompts rather than predicting outcomes, say that out loud — most objections soften when the practice looks like thinking, not fortune-telling.
  • Your practical reality. If you live at home and he'd see the deck on your shelf, a cloth bag and a drawer is a low-cost way to keep the peace without giving it up.

If starting the conversation feels hard, "I want to understand your concern about this" opens more doors than "tarot is just symbolism."

Want a one-card pull once you've thought it through, or is that enough for today?
