Why I Left the New Age Movement (Ex Tarot Reader).

[@mocha1886]

As a Christian I support you 1000 percent. After the heartbreak I felt when my ex left me, I turned to tarot to find “answers”. Lord knows how many times I’ve heard, “he’s coming back” and “he still loves you”. It’s been over a year, he’s never coming back and I have to keep moving on with my life. I was meant to learn a lesson. We’re suppose to trust God, not depend on divination to guide us. “You do not realize now what I am doing but later you will understand” John 13:7. There are tarot readers like Rich Lopp that keep it real and give actual advice, but the majority of them just give you the fluff stuff to keep you hooked. I wish you nothing but love and peace Lauren, may God protect you always ❤️

[@DominiqueTerry-wx4sm]

This isn't suppose to be funny but that last part about him smelling bad and dressed like he was homeless.. smh. In all seriousness no one can tell you what age you will find/do something. I think people forget when using these tools is that everyone has free will, our paths are always changing as well as potentials. Nothing is set in stone thats why these tools can't "tell" you the furture. It can only show you the potential from the current path you are taking and it only gets more difficult when reading other people. Also not many people can read tarot.. alot of these readers will tell you what you want to hear instead of the truth.

I am not christian, but I really admire your for talking about the dangers and toxicity of tarot. I have been a new ager for around 10 years and moving away from that whole scene is so much better. We shouldn't rely on the future to be told to us, we need to make it for ourselves.

[@disavowedveteran1391]

I'll Admit That Tarot Really Helped Give Me Answers To Things I Needed To Understand, But A lot, Not All, Of Tarot Readers Are Not Honest. I Have My Own Deck That Is Put Up And Protected If My Intuition Ever Guides Me To Use It(It Has Before). One Thing I Want To Point Out About This New Age Is, Spirituality Isn't Supposed To Be A Business Or For Profit. It's About Growing And Evolving, Then Helping Others Do The Same To The Extent They Want To Go. Anytime Someone Is Using A Spiritual Practice For Profit, There's A Chance There's Some Deception Involved To Keep People Coming Back To Keep Spending Money, And That Is Not The Way It's Supposed To Be Used. Your Spirit Is Not Worried About Money Or Things, Just A Peace Of Mind. All In All, Keeping Faith Is The Answer~

[@MusicGurlDez]

As a Christian I see where you are coming from. People should seek clarity, perspective, and maybe advice but the answers aren’t in the cards. Or maybe used as a tool or prompt but people shouldn’t rely on it. I enjoyed your video.

[@allyrudolph]

I've been really struggling with my addiction to tarot... I think I have to force myself not to get on KZbin for months so I can help myself lose interest in tarot and stop worrying and thinking about the outcome of the situation that I've been having anxiety about. God's got it and I shouldn't care what happens, because God will give me the best possible outcome. I should just stay busy and productive and take care of myself. And stay away from things that are bad for me, like tarot. I hope you're doing well and feeling better since you quit tarot, Lauren. God bless :)

[@npkrn6764]

I was addicted to Tarot readings for quite a while - for months really - last year. Someone hurt me very deeply and like many others, I was searching for answers. More to the point - I was looking to have my HOPE that he really loved me reaffirmed (despite his actions). But that's all it was - hope. Or realistically, it was self delusion. I couldn't get my mind around someone telling me they loved me (and even showing me) to then in a matter of months, doing such a complete 180 turn and ghosting me. I WANTED to hear tarot readers to tell me he really DID want me and maybe it was a "twin flame" difficulty and he REALLY wanted me deep down. But now that I'm more honest with myself, I know it was just my crutch. Tarot served as a soft cushion, but ultimately- she's correct: if someone is treating you like they don't care, THEY DON'T CARE! Now, having said all that, I will admit I never believed 100% in the whole hocus-pocus, twin flame, soulmate, karmic, past life connection, mumbo-jumbo. Maybe it's all true, maybe not (?) But some of the better Tarot readers did at least offer some good insights outside of all that which I could, and do use going forward... but I've found most readers do just say the same things over and over and boost your ego to keep you coming back. The sad thing about that is, many of us listeners are already coming out of a bad relationship where we may have been gaslit and truly don't need any more BS - yet that's all a lot of Tarot offers is BS. I applaud her for her integrity. Not only discontinuing her tarot reads if she's not believing in it, but admitting her reasons too. The world needs more people like this!

[@Tokumei_aisuru]

You spoke nothing but the truth i commend you on leaving. There’s a lot of readers who are stopping just like as myself as a tarot watcher. I’ve definitely started to become codependent and that wasn’t a great feeling. Thank you for this video wishing you continued greatness on your path 🙏🏾❤️✨

Usually, people who get addicted/obsessed with divination/rituals etc, can also be easily obsessed/fixated/dependent on religion. What counts is the functionality of the behavior (humanity, coherence, self-awareness) and the insight of the person. Not to just pray, go to churches, and cite bible verses when it can be used as an excuse to cover up an avalanche of prejudice and misconceptions.

[@JenPalko]

Thank you so much for your honesty in this video. You touched on something so important and I find that often with things like tarot and the new age movement they can also bring about a level of personal guilt for not “following the code”. So thank you for speaking what needs to be said. ❤️

your story really resonated with mine and it brought me to tears. thank you and we need more people like you to speak up about the tarot scam which is straight from the underworld lords of hell preying and feeding on vulnerable souls. at the end of the day, it is all a test of our faith in God and our higher self.

[@rses916]

I used to watch tarot readings and I noticed many readers would experience weird stuff while making their videos. One reader thought somebody put a curse on her on KZbin and told that anyone who's doing bad shit to her through witchcraft need to stop. Wth. Then she deleted her account because she thought somebody was stalking her. Now I know it was only the cards and their evil playing tricks on her. Also I was watching another KZbinr he's famous here on KZbin and randomly in a reading he started to call Jesus name and to rebuke something that was in the room watching him he said. That scared the crap outta me. Another youtuber he was doing a live and a super creepy weird voice came out of nowhere he said it was from his computer but that that voice was low and deep creepy like you see in horror movies.i won't give names I do t want any stalker. I regret ever watching them but I was in a very low place and did not accept hardships. I'm a muslim but now I'm back full of hope and praying even if I dont get what I want in this lifetime ai have accepted my life is not easy as long as God is with me that all that matters. It doesn't mean it's easy.

It made me become codependent/ obsessive. Of the 5 yrs I watched tarot and purchased readings it’s added more pain to my life then it ever did then preventing it. I’m going to put this added time and energy towards healing and focusing on myself and my daughters lives and let things unfold naturally.

[@MrZorro2992]

I, absolutely, agree with you on this. People have tendency to turn to Tarot cards readers, or to buy their own tarot card desks in order to make daily spreads at the lowest points of their life. I had these moments twice in the life, myself. First time, it happened, when I went through predivorce, divorce and after divorce troubles and emotional neediness, when I was seeking moral support and answers. Second time I turned to Tarot spreads after falling in love with wrong person. Presently, my life is moving to the right direction, therefore I prefer to devote my precious time on real life events rather than watch somebody's spreads or read my own Tarot cards spreads.

I got into new age due to this Methodist church that I was at. I grew up in a non denominational church but I went to this Methodist church cuz it was across the college that I was at and they offered help for college students who want to get closer to God. They allowed that stuff to be done inside the church and I fell for that trap. I literally figured since the pastor is ok with it, then it must not be bad. Later on before I quit new age, I was into crystals, tarot cards, trying to open my 3rd eye, learning how to channel, and working with angel metraton. Before all that I was very much into astrology. My gosh so demonic. For me it was difficult to quit cuz I got obsessed with tarot readings. I had to go through deliverance and still am going through a lot of spiritual warfare. Deliverance has been a process for me but it wasn’t until I learned about generational curses and my gosh that was such an eye opener for me cuz in my mothers side of her family she’s got a lot of relatives who are witches and witch doctors and unfortunately her family does like to use witchcraft to attack people. Yet my mom closed all doors to that junk when she became a Christian in the 80s and then here I was opening up doors to the enemy🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m just so glad I quit all that junk.

[@fi-po]

Whether it is the Christian Bible or the Tarot, you should not blindly believe in it. It is most likely a personal problem, not a Tarot card or New Age problem. And whether you believe in New Age or go to church often, you need to think about why you believe in that religion or spirituality. I really like tarot cards and I love tarot card drawings. I like the philosophy and history contained in tarot cards. And the reading story told through tarot cards is interesting because it seems to have various interpretations. However, advice and future predictions are only for reference and are not fully accepted. If a tarot reader's interpretation is overly optimistic or negative, it is best to ignore it! As far as I know, psychological counseling experts use tarot cards. Tarot cards predict the future based on the seeker's standard attitude and psychological state at the time of tarot consultation. If we all have different attitudes and states of mind after a few minutes, we are making a prediction about the different future. While practicing tarot cards, there were times when I didn't think they were just not pieces of paper. It feels mysterious, especially when repetitive cards appear in a row. There is good and useful information about spirituality and religion, but Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam - we should not have extreme blind faith in anything, including all religions and spirituality. Be careful in the spirituality and New Age fields as there are some cults that brainwash people and generate excessive profits. In the 21st century, we must always develop the ability to think and think objectively about any object. For many people, the power of cultivating thoughts is as important as working out at the gym. And always, we must all stay alert and live with powerful focus! We must acknowledge that life is inherently lonely and prone to rejection.

The motto of the new age is “do as you will” or do whatever you want. We at least have the 10 commandments to abide by and of course were commanded to “love thy neighbor”. After repentance, this is a great place to start getting your spirit together brothers and sisters.

[@krystallblake6058]

Sounds like an incredible journey, I’d be interested to see how you’ve grown in your faith since making this video… some of your opinions here at this time when you made this video may have changed. For instance I was a Christian that separated myself from other Christians… I believed that you didn’t have to go to church to have a relationship with him but then I realised that it wasn’t about how I felt. Going to church is about gathering with brothers and sisters to worship our amazing God!!! We were created to worship him, walk with him, our lives to be lived as worship to him. So now I feel like not going to church is like deprivation. It’s the one time we all get together and learn and hear the spoken word of God that is soooo special. It’s the one time where everyone who may not have the exact same opinions or likes join together and come into agreement on the one thing that joins us Christ!!! I love church now! I love spending time in fellowship with people I don’t see everyday to be updated with what they need prayer wise! Service wise. Sorry if I’ve gone on a tangent I just love my church and love to gather with others to worship my saviour.

I'm a reader and I believe GOD WATCHES OVER MY GIFTS

[@AbsoluteZero6714]

I’m sorry but that is not true. And if you’re willing to take a moment and read what I have to say, I was once very much like you and believed that these occult sources of knowledge were “spiritual gifts” given by God. Additionally, it was also a period in my life (which in fact, ended recently) where I was angry and extremely disillusioned at God, because I felt He was not in my life and not in control anymore. I found it hard to trust God’s revelation and started increasingly turning over to New Age beliefs and alternative sources of spiritual knowledge and divination. I consider myself as more of a dabbler in a somewhat similar system (Astrology, with some other forms of divination mixed in), and never got into the very “hardcore” stuff like yoga, spirit guides, “guardian angels” (nowhere in the Bible does it say that humans are given any power over angels), and Ouija boards. It was like God saving me before my whole body went into the fire, because I know that had I looked deeper into these things I would have exposed myself to LOTS of danger. Even in my dabbling into astrology and some other kinds of divination (never really into Tarot), the more I looked into it, the further I moved away from any sense of peace and assurance. In fact, I experienced more of the opposite. More hate, more self-hate, more anxiety and worry. Does that mean returning to God alone makes me free of all these things? No. I struggle with doubt, struggle with sin, and struggle with a lot of things. However, I am learning to trust in Him more, that He will give me blessings and guide me forward. That He is a God of love but also a God of justice, and only through Christ’s sacrifice are we redeemed. We are warned very clearly against seeking the occult, because even if they give us the answers we want, they’re all meant to lead us away from God and into Satan. I hope you will turn away. Bless you and have a good day. Amen.

Do you know how many people have gone through the same season as you and also after a dark time received the same revelation from God about tarot?? God is AMAZING!! I literally had almost the exact same season as you with tarot. Then God one day led me to randomly open the Bible and low and behold the scripture I read was about God laughing at divination as nobody except Him knows the future. This whole experience that we share reminds me of Him going after the lost sheep and leaving the 99 to go get that one lost baby. He also says: "My sheep hear my voice" and and so glad to see that you opened to His voice, His knock. Most people are blinded by what tarot really is, until God steps in to save His children. Also, I love your authenticity in this video. We are not perfect, Christians are flawed humans knowing we are fully dependent on God's love and grace. God bless you sweetheart!!

Appreciate you sharing this...

[@ashakabeta]

I think you're right. . I don't see the tarot in the light of divination, though. I see it as things to think about, like a quote of the day... And just like anything, people misuse it all too often. I am non religious, have Christian values, and appreciate the self- exploration the symbolism offer, plus I love the art so much.. but I think you're right in that it's not healthy to use them as oracles, to get fortunes read, to connect with the deceased, etc... That's not for me, in my belief system. I totally see where you're coming from, though. I wish people would see that life itself is magic. We don't need divination tools when we are portions of our creator.

Hmm, Im noticing a lot of obsessive personality types in the comments and it seems the same with this KZbinr (This is the only vid ive watched so Im completely unbiased). This is the issue with "trends and fads" on tiktok and KZbin....Tarot should be used as a guide and not "fortune telling" thats not what its actually meant for. Also reading how many people became obsessed with it in the comments, thats a personality issue and has nothing to do with Tarot or anything else. Same with the lady above, it seems she has replaced an obsession with Tarot with an newly found obsession with Religion. I also saw this same theme in the comments. Being obsessed and this sort of black and white thinking (she said she now rejects everything thats not of God.....what does that even mean?) is very dangerous and is an indication of more things going on. This has nothing to do with Tarot and you could replace Tarot with rock climbing, tennis, etc etc and my comment would be the same.....

Saying that, we as humans, love to create stories and connect puzzles of what we see in front of us. People use clouds, birds, coins, shells, stones, pieces of wood, crystals, paper, ... this is a very human thing that we love to do and is very enjoyable to do it. It is not evil to connect what we see or have and create a story, what is kind of crazy is to justify what we CHOOSE to do, by using the puzzle thing that we created.

Good people, whether Christian or otherwise, always get taken advantage of. Period. Also left tarot myself. "Codependency with tarot" makes total sense. It can only help so much. Also dying to get out of the south! Lol (edit) Once you're healed, you don't stay in the hospital.

[@SnoitcelfeR]

I dont know you sounded happy to me, optimistic, I'm sure life's better now. God loves us all. We are all doing the best we can with what we got.

[@noneyah9952]

[@TheMelisandre01]

It's good to hear from you. Take care 💜

[@annieg7976]

[@jackie461]

[@LaurenJamesKing]

Jackie!!! I love you too, no worries at all!! : )

[@jeannie7255]

you were definitely one of my favorite tarot readers and i'm sad to see you go but i totally understand where you're coming from. you gave some of the best advice, but the spiritual realm does have some dangerous aspects and i hope that you just wash yourself with God's light and protection and that you can vibe the best way you can girl

[@gummysmile7298]

I honestly I just love the tarot arts the card painting is so gorgeous

[@emmmoo8631]

Hey great video and honest but insightful take on things which sparks common sense and stuff people ignore when they get caught up in and lost in their emotional baggage, you bring a sense of lets reach earth again!! Very good, hopefully more of the ego emotional trippers will follow your grounded advice.

[@pamelanicole9221]

Thankyou so much for being honest. I appreciate it and agree with you on everything. ❤

[@sumonipuri3964]

OMG I could also hear voices and it was so scary. I also have always felt uneasy when it comes tarot. I also participated in it but now I have also distanced myself from tarots. It's good to see that there are people who are seeing what I see. ❤😊

[@susanl8884]

Keep on your path … you are going the right direction.

[@candietapia13]

I'm happy that you're doing what makes YOU happy. I wish you nothing but the best on your journey, chica. Sending you lots of love, peace and light💜 an Aquarius mom.

[@janemonroe289]

Your on the right track! Girl I will not ever judge others or preach down to others I just want to say, I know God is coming back soon!

[@JCHEALS]

I think this is great! Amazing to see someone do the right thing I’m so proud to see another loving soul be saved and help save others!!! The rabbit hole of tarot definitely gets demonic dark and dangerous. Thank you for speaking truth!

[@celinelemuria]

Thank you for this video.. I really needed it! =)

[@christinae30]

This just randomly came up, I've never watched any video from you before (as I remember it), but very touching to hear. This was very brave of you, both to stop with tarot when you felt like that, and also this explanation. Don't know why, but my immediate thought was; I wish I was her neighbour (live in Europe, twice your age🤓). Maybe because that what you tell here, sounds much like how I would explain my faith. Will check your more recent videos to see what you are talking about now.

[@goddesscapricorn]

I am learning everyday to just allow everyone’s experience to be just that their experience. Blessings in your journey 🙏

[@moorerealestate4u373]

Thank you for this. I needed to hear this. Blessings to you. We all want to be happy.

[@scutterfly303]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Tarot brought me to the realization of the gifts God gave me but I know He has higher plans for them.

[@RivKatdaddy]

I agree baby girl! You need to be strong in your faith and not let your power be taken by the darkness.

[@sujata_155]

I only believe in God now because praying helped me a lot. tarot and this new age movement made me more anxious about everything thats why I left it

[@SaraAB98]

This is very heartfelt and genuine,thank you ❤️

[@gamebred_13th86]

i don't know about any of these stuff all i know i been getting tarot reading more than normal should get ? and everything i was told never came truth i guess like most people we just want it answer and all we got in return lies i guess what i am asking what you see or feel how you get answer when you reading cards ? and can fate change ?

[@diannaprice1717]

Love your sprit!!! You rock!!

[@malakais3860]

I just started getting tarot last winter and got addicted that I didn’t enjoy the present. I spent too much money and depended on it for sure odd reason. I got so many readings and all was lies smh got my hopes up. Had faith in cards instead of God which now I’m working on thank you for sharing.

[@rhondailabor5229]

I understand your decision. I got wrapped up in listening to tarot it was like an addiction, I became confused and found myself longing for more. But, spirituality and tarot readings are not NEW AGE it's been around for thousands of years. It's just that lately more people have discovered it and now dabbling into it and calling it new age. This all originated in West Africa thousands of years ago and had to be masked because of slavery, they could not be caught practicing it. Nothing NEW about it!

[@lyndasacks5612]

Wow ! I just fell on this! You are AWESOME 👏! I full heartedly agree with you!

[@reviewcreations2194]

This is good! We are humans and with different personality, why let a 12 zodiac pre-written texts decide how we are, act, be? Same with Tarot, why let ”Cards” decide our Paths of coming future? Its bad psychology to affect the mind and let other people decide a reading what is suppose to happen! No one can be happy if focuse and worry what is not yet happened, we create our own future now! To live in this ”now” makes us closer to the real source of joy❤️ Ps I used to believe in tarot not anymore I listen Within and live ”now” I also as an experiment listened receantly to ”many” readers online about my ”sign” this month and also my husband, sisters brothers, well all Said same basically picked same Cards = All just copy eachother online I think! I do am very intuitive and spiritual in the meaning being Humble, intuitive, kind, love nature and animals but NEVER anymore listen to other voices about future etc only my gut, heart and own feeling :) Jenny

[@naturespirit3044]

We are for sure connected to the electromagnetic field which is pure energy and information. We have our own Universe within ourselves. As everything used with safe and safety (knowing how to protect yourself) good intentions, and integrity, cannot harm anybody. If we are lost, this is what we find more, as everything responds to us, as a mirror. Religion any kind (christianity as well) is new age much more than we think, most harmful space to be, giving yourself to some ideas created by greedy people in power sucking others energy, blocking chakras with their sacraments. If somebody think being in church, that dragged god out of us, is a good place, think twice my friends.

[@mutableair674]

I’m struggling to quit it hey. It’s like I can’t remember what I did in my spare time before I watched tarot reading... :(
