Demystifying Tarot (A Theory)

Okay, so this is just an amateur's opinion after reading one book, but I thought the implications were interesting and I need to justify my interest in an esoteric mystical bullsh*t subject to myself (Quote: Not into witchy shit). I hope you enjoy this baseless speculation.

• All Tarot cards apply to everyone at some point in their lives. They follow universal themes, so much so that it is "impossible" to detect their cultural origins. So regardless of which card you draw, there will be some sort of relevance.
• By allowing chance to enter, magical and other forces can come into play. Furthermore, a person's personal deck can be imbued with their vibrations as well as personal interpretations and associations between cards. Same cards, different reader, different reading.
• Tarot is a Rorschach test; it prods the subconscious and cajoles conclusions. From your subconscious (about the client) and their subconscious (about themselves), the cards leave enough interpretation for the readers to fill in the gaps. You may as well be asking your subconscious questions by making it create associations, like people do whenever there is a non-sequitur. We try to make sense of the nonsensical (not saying that tarot is nonsensical).
• From this, we could say tarot is a tool for training our intuition about people and learning to get in touch with our subconscious.
• Additionally, in recognizing common themes in Humanity, we can recognize these patterns in our own lives.
• Personally, it is a powerful tool that works, whether there is magic or not. But it's certainly less fun without mysticism. Who would want to use a mental back-roller? We prefer to believe and work with things we don't understand and consider "magic."
• (I believe "magic" are tools for the "magician" groups such as the Rosicrucians, Masons, Templar, etc that commoners aren't meant to understand, hence the symbolism in the illustrations. There's a lot of masonic symbolism and imagery, maybe it is a tool for learning these hidden symbols?)
• Interestingly, the author brought up the "ars memorativa" or medieval rhetorical systems of memorizing lots of information, and some of the keys to a successful memory system is 1) locations with lots of details 2) a story and 3) vibrantly-colored individuals. With these things, a tarot deck could absolutely be a "memory system in a deck," as an alternative to physically walking to intricate locatiions and using them to store memories. Especially considering the ease with which a person can move forwards and backwards through a series of mental images. Hence! the numbers on the cards.
• I don't know, it's just a theory. But maybe it'll have some worth for you, dear reader.
