    and yet I bet you suspend your disbelief when consuming media such as video games, film and TV.

    Same instinct and process.

      Temporarily suspending disbelief for entertainment and actually believing in the occult are different things. I’m sure there are lots of people who do tarot for fun and just suspend disbelief, but there’s also a lot of people who actually believe in magic and use it to make important decisions. One is harmless, the other betrays a dangerous lack of critical thinking that pervades every aspect of a person’s life.
