Idk about tastings, but yes, there are those who do readings over zoom and such. Scammers gotta be scamming haha

I can do them, but I dont believe in them really. Not in the way that those psychics would think. I think it’s just a neat way to get the answers you already know.

Also, funnily enough, Tarot cards originated in Italy, and it was just a card game. No divination or anything, just a fun card game. Then in the 1800s, French Occultists (think Alistair Crowley) made up the idea that tarot cards were used in Egypt since ancient times to tell the future. And because there was no real way for the common man to fact check that, that lie propagated out until today. Tarot readings isn’t really a thing in Europe, where tarot games were played, but it’s popular in Western countries because of those Occultists travelling to America and touring their silly occult “artifacts” and shit.

It’s so funny to me. Tarot games (tarrocci, iirc, in Italian, the name of the original game and prolly where the word “tarot” comes from) have nothing to do with divination at all. They were more akin to the card games Thirteen, Poker, and such.
