I have gathered my thoughts and decided to make a thread about the misconceptions about tarot and also to debunk some things people are saying about the way i practice tarot. +
"Tarot can't be used for predicting the future, it is only a tool for advice and guidance"
I feel like this is a fairly new belief that is being spread around lately.
In my family, tarot has been used to predict the future (My grandma was a reader with ~50 years of experience) +

Here is a description of what tarot is from the little manual that comes with the cards themselves. Notice the word divination. By definition, in witchcraft and in the dictionary, divination is the practice of seeking knowledge of the future using supernatural means. +
Here are also a variations of the most common and popular spread being used in tarot. Besides giving advice, it includes 2 cards for future events - near and distant.

"It is both impossible and unethical to read for others without their consent"
It is actually a fairly common practice to read about people who aren't present at the reading. I explain more in this question i answered already. +

If it was impossible to do readings about others without their presence or knowledge the whole category of compatibility/love readings wouldn't exist. It is one of the most common things people ask readers. What does this person think of me, what does the future hold for us? +
This is just an irl reading with a client example of how it is common to read for others. It is obviously harder to read for someone who isn't present or knowing of it. I have had readings done on me without me knowing as well and i can swear they were spot on. +
The whole consent part is a hot topic since the practice is changing and evolving. I understand how people can find it uncomfortable or bad. What matters to me is intent and I only have good intentions when I read for mx, for example. +
I post my readings because it provides comfort to fans just like me since being a fan can be messy and worrying because you don't know what's really going on and if the people you care about are okay and what the future holds for them.
