Tarot (to me) is basically illuminating the patterns around me. It's easier to get to the other side of the stream, so to speak, if you know which way the current is running. If I choose a direction at random, I might get lucky. Or I might fight my way and gain two inches.

I find my cards are really bad at showing "the future". At best, they predict a possible outcome of something, much like throwing a ball- you can project where it will land, knowing its velocity, wind speed and direction, friction, etc.

That said, I think I'm up to 19 decks now.

Superstitions? I collect them, but I don't follow hardly any. I do some things in jest. I don't walk under ladders or scaffolding, but that's because I tend to be a target for falling or thrown objects. I certainly hope black cats are not bad luck- the universe sent me a beautiful one for a companion. I find the beliefs about "13" to be amusing. Most superstitions I find entertaining, actually. I sometimes like to find out the history of why it's bad.
