Hello Mariana, I have watched some of your content now and have subscribed to your page. I have a question. You mentioned in one of your videos that the black Madonna relates somehow to Pistis Sophia. Do you remember where you read or heard that by chance? Thank you!

I’ve been struggling with loving the Tarot and also being Christian lately. The Bible does say divination by laypeople is wrong…but that’s the in the same record of laws that puts people to death for random things like having tattoos, so….are we really supposed to take those ideas seriously? As for astrology, in Genesis 1:14 it says, “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years.” That to me is a clear indication that we are meant to study the stars/planets, you know? I don’t know how Christians ever began to think differently about that.

Yes absolutely it’s a challenging thing. The shunning of divination and astrology has more to do with the scientific revolution than religious law. I think it’s all in HOW you use these tools. If you’re using them to replace faith then yes, that’s bad. If your using them to reflect on how to support your faith, then they’re so beautiful and powerful ❤️
