A rising number of practitioners are sounding alarms about bad luck following tarot and pendulum readings. Many people report a streak of negative experiences surfacing shortly after their divination sessions, raising questions about potential connections between these practices and adverse outcomes.

Users Share Frightening Experiences

In recent discussions, folks have recounted striking tales of misfortune linked to their divination practices. One participant noted, "My spouse calls me the bad luck charm. Bad things always happen to him when I'm around or when he does something that upsets me." This highlights concerns that one's energy can impact those nearby.

Another user chimed in: "I literally cannot wear a watch without it breaking in two months or less." Comments like these amplify the growing anecdotal evidence suggesting links between divination and unexpected problems.

Interestingly, a new comment points to perceptions of gatekeeping in the community. It argues, "There are many approaches to divination," stressing the diversity within these practices.

Cleansing Practices Gaining Traction

Amidst these concerns, many participants are discussing cleansing methods as ways to counteract unwanted energy. Key highlights include:

  • Tools and Rituals: Users are integrating various cleansing techniques, such as selenite and moon water.

  • Personal Accounts: One user shared their method, noting, "I always keep a Selenite or two in my Tarot pouch to keep them cleansed all the time." This suggests that people are exploring more effective ways to maintain the energy of their divination tools actively.

  • Affirming Intentions: Practitioners emphasize the importance of setting positive intentions during cleansing rituals for better outcomes.

"It's rough out here. The best advice has been cleansing, so Iโ€™m going to try that," one participant stated. Their reflections show a collective desire to tackle negative experiences while still engaging with divination.

Differing Views on Divination

Discussions about these experiences transcend personal grievances and touch upon deeper beliefs about morality and spirituality. A comment referencing religious texts stated, "Those who use divination are an abomination unto the LORD," adding another layer to the ongoing debate about the implications of these practices.

Yet, many argue that the benefits of divination outweigh concerns about bad luck.
