Free tarot readings represent a common kind of service that plenty of web pages offer for entertainment purposes and most often as an alternative to paid membership options. If in the past, tarot played a more serious role in terms of divination and future interpretation possibilities, presently, the Internet reduces it to automated readings performed just for fun. Unlike the real tarot spread where the interpretation comes from a skilled reader, the free tarot readings performed online are generated by a special computer program that comes up with aleatory meaningful representations for the cards the user chooses from a deck. How far to trust free tarot readings?
Do not trust tarot readings in general, whether free or not! Tarot is not a science, but an art that depends on a subtle energetic flow that gives a certain truthfulness to the meanings of the cards. The symbols on the cards are the ones that give one interpretation or another, but the reading is performed in the context of the entire spread. A certain card cannot be understood unless it is considered in relation to the others in the vicinity. Keep in mind the fact that it is harmful for logic, common sense and the human mind to act according to predictions and eliminate the free agent rules of existence.
As for the proliferation of the sites that offer free tarot readings, it goes without saying that most of them focus on other aspects of esoteric reality selling or promoting all sorts of products too. A special category here is that of sites that are mainly informative and for which the free tarot readings represent an illustration of the major site purpose. Such sites regularly send free tarot readings in newsletters to their subscribers and use the web space for advertising purposes which generates profit out of page traffic.
With the risk of over-stressing the entertainment aspects of the preoccupation, free tarot readings vary from one web page to another. Most of the spreads are either demos or very easy layouts that do not tell the user much in terms of significance. Otherwise, these free tarot readings are used to trigger the site visitor’s curiosity and thus make him/her subscribe to further services for which fees are charged. You may begin by getting some free tarot readings but then when your curiosity is fired, you’ll have to take money out of the pocket to satisfy it.
