Okay! ^^;;
Hee hee, that was good.
Thank you for your post!

I am very interested in things like that. I wish I could tell people their fortunes.

Wait, you could try to tell someone their fortune now? If it wouldn't be too much to ask, would it be possible to do that?

Undertherose25 05-10-2009 07:48 PM

God I need a love fortune done I'm hopeless, too bad I don't believe in them.

PockyMePink 05-10-2009 07:54 PM

I use regular tarot cards, thanks :cool:

And they tell too much even there.

reihiino 05-10-2009 08:01 PM

never had it done.

Nendoroid 05-10-2009 08:10 PM

I play with tarot cards to make Christians angry.

Dondake 05-10-2009 08:13 PM

I'm a Christian~? is this bad? XD;;
Well.
I could try! ^^;;
I'm not very good.
Please let me go find my cards~

Xanaphia 05-10-2009 08:19 PM

That would be so cool.

Personally I don't think its bad, its good to have a mind of your own, I think that's what God wants in the first place.

I'm Agnostic, formally Christian.

xYinniex 05-10-2009 08:40 PM

Unless i get good fortune, then no.

Dondake 05-10-2009 08:47 PM

What is agnostic? (Sorry, my first language is French)

Yay! Thank you! ^^ Practice hurts nobody. (That's a lie~ TT_TT)

Okay, so I have 4 king cards. Please associate them with the names of 4 boys (please don't say a name to me!) and pick two, assuming they are layed out like this:
1|2|3|4

Do you want just a relationship fortune?

Undertherose25 05-10-2009 08:51 PM

To sum it up Agnostics tend to worry about what they can control, not what they can't, they do believe in a higher power but they don't lose sleep over 'What if...' control life and found out after you die :)

I assume your talking to anyone about the cards lol sorry if you aren't and I'm just butting in

I pick 1 and 4

Salvanas 05-10-2009 08:55 PM

Got my fortune told once.

Was told that I was going to die in the next few years or so. How, and where was not certain. Not that I actually believe in stuff like that. But it's interesting to see what people say.

A deck of cards cannot tell the fortune of your life. The very thought of it is laughable. It's the same with star signs, and astrology. My mum has her fortune every now and then, and I go with her to see. It's so easy to see that it's a fake. It's all vaguely spoken, and everything can be taken in multiple ways. Then to add to it, they tell you stuff which can happen in everyday life.

The women who told mine, was my mum's old spiritual advisor. I went in, and watched for a few sessions, then in front of my family, I just explained everything, and she went read. It's easy to read spiritualists/fortune tellers. She said that she was afraid of what she'd find if she looked into my fortune, I told her to go ahead. And after alot of acting, which was good, she said to me these words which I remember to this very day. They were;

"My boy, you live a dis-trustful life. You dis-trust many people, and hate even more. This will be your downfall, however. You scheme too much. I do not usually tell people about exactly what will happen with their lives and how, but you do not believe me, so here is your fortune. Your life will end before you hit the age of 25." And with that she left, and never came back to my mum again.

They're all in it for money. And not once do I believe that I'll die before the age of 25. All a bunch of bull.

Dondake 05-10-2009 09:23 PM

I am very accepting to everyone's opinions. ^^

Who knows what it is?

I don't want to make money from it, it's only a pastime for me.

However, indeed, who knows?

I meant anybody, yes. ^^

You do not have a very good chance in love today. ^^;; I'm sorry~

(My readings can be wrong!)

LuckyLuck 05-10-2009 09:30 PM

Are you talking about tarot?...

No, I have no tarot cards. I use playing cards. ^^;; But it works the same, ideally.

I know. It's a sham.

Hang on. Isn't the whole point of getting your fortune told is though so that you DO know what's coming, and maybe if it'll be coming? Saying "Love fortune is not so good, but I might be wrong" is basically saying ,you might find love, you might not.

Which puts, if I'm not mistaken, the person asking back at point A. Where they don't know what the hell is going to happen.

Anyways, how can you "learn" how to read tarot cards/fortunes? I mean, it seems something really easy to learn these days. You know, who knew reading peoples futures was so easy!

xYinniex 05-10-2009 10:13 PM

is this like wicca and all that shiz?

Playing cards are poker cards. =) The only fortune you'd get is through gambling.

Anyone up for a game of texas hold'em?

Anyone can speculate.

I'm speculating that I'm going to become rich in a few years.

I can predict the future with cards, hockey cards
You check the other side and you see the stats of the players in the last seasons. You can predict how many points he'll do next season and all that.
It's pretty nice.

My sarcasm detector just exploded. This is not a good sign.

alanX 05-11-2009 01:49 AM

I can detect what I'll have for dinner.

I write McDonalds on one side, and Burger King on the other, then flip it in the air.

Whatever it lands on, that's what I have for dinner.

Magic, huh?

Reminds me of that Simpsons (Family Guy?) episode:

"We're running out of the 'Find a new love' fortune cookies."

"Start using the 'Stay with your present spouse' ones!"
