    I don’t believe in Tarot.

    But I do own a deck because of JoJo’s Bizarre adventure and because I have used it in my homebrew DnD campaigns to signify allies and enemies (like Persona 5).

    I would 100% carry The Fool if I had a clear phone case, because whimsy.

    There is nothing wrong in having one around.

      Also the history of the imagery and the artistic reinterpretation of theme decks such as yours is fascinating. I have one that’s emoji, one that’s all cats, and one that’s designed to look like crayon scribbles in a wide ruled notebook. In each one you can hold up equivalent cards and see how each artist interpreted the individual card under the overall theme.

      here's some examples

      Tarot is also a great introspective and meditative practice that allows you to mirror your own thoughts back to you and gain a different perspective. Esoteric spiritual practices are by the literal definition of that first word as diverse as the people who practice them.
