OCD, Secular Tarot, and Religion
Hello everyone ! I found this group today and I am very interested in what it has to offer. I am interested in getting back into tarot but removing every spiritual aspect from it because while I do enjoy reading tarot, my OCD plagues me and I’m convinced something bad will happen to me if I read tarot or that I have to give up some energy in exchange for an answer from the cards and many other intrusive beliefs. That being said, I want to get back into tarot as a form of exposure therapy for my OCD but I do want to remove the spiritual aspect of it because I feel as though that would be best for me mentally. I also wanted to ask if it’s possible to be religious while keeping the cards secular ? I identify as a Christian but I want to view the cards from a secular perspective so I can expose myself to these kinds of triggers. Would you guys recommend doing this at all? If not, feel free to explain why ! I also wanted to know if anyone else is using secular tarot as a form of exposure therapy. Thanks so much for reading and have a wonderful day/night :)
