In this The Blaze article, hosts of the BlazeTV show “Strange Encounters” warn that tarot cards are becoming culturally normalized—even among some Christians—despite their roots in occult practices that Scripture explicitly condemns.
- Tarot cards have moved from fringe occult circles into the cultural mainstream, now appearing in major retail stores and being marketed as tools for entertainment, self-reflection, or spiritual insight.
- The article notes that some companies are now selling “Christian” versions of tarot decks, which critics argue is an attempt to repackage occult practices in a way that feels acceptable to believers.
- Host Rick Burgess argues that attaching Christian imagery or language to tarot cards does not change their spiritual nature and calls the practice “highly, highly dangerous.”
- Historically, tarot began as a card game in 15th-century Italy but was later adopted by French occultists in the late 1700s who associated the cards with mystical knowledge and fortune-telling.
- The show emphasizes biblical warnings against divination and occult practices, citing Deuteronomy 18:10–12 as a clear prohibition.
- Burgess argues that seeking guidance through tarot replaces reliance on God with trust in spiritual systems outside the Christian faith.
- The broader warning is that cultural normalization of tarot may cause Christians to underestimate the spiritual implications of participating in occult-related practices.
