I am always fascinated with Tarot Cards. Do they work I don't know.
Most will say it is a superstition as others say it is accurate if you believe in them. |

A superstition is not factual, it is merely a belief. It is quite like a hypothesis or guess, but one that can't be tested. The facts are that there is no solid evidence, and if there was it would not be superstition, it would be science. But since there aren't ways of telling whether it is just make believe or not, it can't be regarded as having truth. I think it is just a left over trait in the human brain that makes wrong connections, and never reaches maturity to come to real tests. Perhaps superstition lead to the first sciences, when some being dedicided to test whether what they heard their uncles say about walking under certain tree branches, or eating shells that have spots that look like other organisms, and the like.
