A Spiritual Perspective Beyond Taboo
For many believers, Tarot feels like a dangerous word. It’s often rejected as something occult, misleading, or outright forbidden by Scripture. But what if the truth is more nuanced? More compassionate? More liberating?
In this article, we’ll explore what the Bible actually says — and doesn’t say — about Tarot. If you’re a soul seeking light, depth, and divine wisdom, this is for you.
What Is Tarot, Really?
Tarot is not witchcraft and for sure not a gateway to darkness. It is an ancient system of sacred symbolism that reflects the soul’s journey through life. The 22 Major Arcana are not demonic tools — they are archetypal mirrors, illustrating human initiation from The Fool (conscious birth) to The World (spiritual union).
Tarot was not meant for “predicting the future” but to to illuminate the present — helping you see more clearly and choose more wisely.
What Does the Bible Say… and Not Say?
Let’s get one thing clear: You must understand that Tarot is never mentioned in the Bible.
What is usually quoted against it comes from passages like:
“Let no one be found among you… who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft…” — Deuteronomy 18:10-12
These verses condemn manipulative magic, not introspective soul work. In the time these texts were written, such practices were used for control, power, or invoking spirits outside of divine will.
Jesus never condemned inner knowing. He never spoke against meditation, symbols, or the sacred language of archetypes. In fact, he taught in parables — layered stories full of symbolism… not unlike the Tarot.
Tarot as Sacred Symbolism, Not Religion
The Tarot speaks the same symbolic language used in the Psalms, Proverbs, and Revelation.
Let’s look at a few examples:
- The Tower card parallels the Tower of Babel — the fall of false pride, a necessary collapse before renewal.
- The Judgement card mirrors the Final Judgement — a time of awakening, resurrection, and inner reckoning.
Tarot doesn’t replace Scripture. It reflects divine truth in visual form — one that resonates with the heart and soul.
What the Christian Mystics Understood
Many Christian mystics — such as St. John of the Cross, Meister Eckhart, and Thomas Aquinas — deeply respected the world of sacred symbolism.In their writings, they speak of divine images, inner visions, and archetypal wisdom as vehicles for spiritual revelation. The mystical Christian path embraces gnosis — that is, knowing God from within.
Tarot, when approached with humility and reverence, becomes a mirror for this gnosis.
Not as fortune-telling, but as soul-dialogue.
It’s Not About the Tool — It’s About the Intention
Many people are seeing these Scriptures as evil texts, based on fear and control. The Bible it’s actually a book of faith, love, and discernment. And discernment teaches us this: no tool is good or evil on its own. What matters is the consciousness of the one who uses it. Just like a hammer can build or destroy, Tarot can bring clarity or confusion — depending on who holds it. Used with love, prayer, and a heart rooted in the Divine, Tarot can serve as a sacred mirror of transformation.
