Book Details
Complete Book of Tarot: Fact 13: All tarot cards are neutral; they merely present universal archetypal images that are part of the human experience. The ‘goodness’ or ‘badness’ of a card depends entirely on what we choose to do with the energy represented. Yin is balanced by yang; every positive in life has its shadow side, and vice versa. A knife in the hands of a surgeon can save a life, but the same knife wielded by a terrorist can wreak havoc. A Zen Buddhist proverb illustrates this idea: A farmer’s horse ran off, prompting the neighbors to lament, ‘That’s bad.’ The next day the horse returned along with three wild horses, and the neighbors declared, ‘That’s good.’ When the farmer’s son broke his leg trying to tame the wild horses, the neighbors commented, ‘That’s bad.’ The next day, the army came to draft the farmer’s son for an impending battle but because of his broken leg, they didn’t draft him. It so happened that all the soldiers who fought in the battle died, but the son survived because of his fractured limb. This time the neighbors kept silent. They had learned the futility of judging situations in terms of black and white, good and bad.

Complete Book of Tarot: Myth 3: You must never make a major decision without first consulting the cards.

Complete Book of Tarot: The noted physicist Werner Heisenberg once said (italics mine): ‘What we observe is not nature itself but nature exposed to our method of questioning … asking questions about nature in the language that we possess and trying to get an answer from experiment by the means that are at our disposal.’ 21 If we consider the tarot in light of Heisenberg’s statement, reading the cards is our method of questioning, and the answer we receive depends on the language that we possess and the means that are at our disposal. Let’s look at these three ingredients of inquiry described by Heisenberg.
