Tarot cards have cool artwork on them, and they are as harmful as a RNG, or cootie catchers.
Artwork is perfectly fine, but shaping your view about the reality and directing your life based on tarot is pure superstition and stupidity.
They are however fantastic for shaping the lives of fictional characters. I love using them for NPCs in my games
It's a random number generator. It's shuffled cards put in random order to tell a story, or focus someone on their own thoughts without distractions of self doubt. To bring order to a chaotic existence. Not all mysticism is superstition. Not all rituals are pointless, many attempt to bring people to a liminal state, an attitude of being in-between, standing at the threshold. We can keep the useful elements of these things and discard the rest. No one needs to base there life around anything they don't like.
You speak like a religious person because this is a superstitious ritual, have fun I guess but I think it's incredibly stupid.
You might as well try to read your future in PUBG loot boxes. Probably cheaper, too.
Also, Tarot is also a completely normal card game like Skat--nothing wrong with that
