Cartomancy

Cartomancy is when someone uses a deck of special cards called tarot or oracle cards to predict or figure out things about your life. It's like trying to guess what will happen to you in the future, or answering questions you have about yourself based on the symbols and pictures on the cards. Some people believe that the cards have special powers and can give messages from the divine or the universe. The person doing a cartomancy reading will shuffle the cards and then lay them out in a special pattern, and then they will interpret what each card means and connect them together to get an answer to your question or a glimpse of your future. It's kind of like playing a game where you try to solve a puzzle or figure out what someone is thinking based on clues.
