Salutations dearest brothers and sisters in Christ,
Beware the Tarot!
As we know one way to have fellowship with the Lord is to read the Bible daily. Not only does this nourish us but it gives us confidence, spiritual awareness, sustenance and makes us feel breath takingly good inside! As well as bringing us ever closer to Him it allows us to wear a self satisfied inner smile knowing that the words of the day will help us in our spiritual urban guerrilla wars against Satan and his ever increasing army of darkness: The Non Believer.
The Big Question Mark
However, non- believers namely Spiritualists, Devil Worshippers and Pagans have un-earthly access to their own source of daily spiritual nourishment: The innocent Tarot. You may think incorrectly that the Tarot is far from innocent but its history is one of innocence and great importance. It was used originally in the 1440's and earlier as a card game otherwise known as Game of Triumphs similar to the ordinary playing card game: Trumps. And to differentiate it from normal playing cards the name Tarocchi was used. Because of the politics of the time in the Fifteenth Century it was also used to convey messages in "hidden meetings" normally at fares, festivals and even in the home or palace depending upon one's status where activists or politically minded peoples could meet and discuss the politics tour jours. Later as we know, it was developed and used as a means for divining the future and used for heavy-duty meditation and exploration into the psyche, soul and spiritual realms.
So not only is it used to divine the future but it is also, more importantly, used as a daily spiritual guide. Very similar to how we Christians use the daily proteins and nutrients of the Bible to gain wisdom, clarity, peace, purpose, enlightenment, sustenance and renewal of faith.
Similar?
You may well ask how similar it is and in what way. Consider the following example as a source of enlightenment.
Daily Ritual
1 - A true Christian either uses a helpful booklet, within the pages of which lies a few short paragraphs of someone else's' "thought for the day." Or she/he will ritually open the Bible at a random page and her/his eyes will read a passage that will provide the day's daily spiritual proteins and nutrients. Having read the Bible passage she/he will meditate (given that there is enough time in the morning), she/he will pray and then leave for work or whatever the routine of the day is. After reading the daily word the said Christian will go about her/his business being filled with confidence, well being and inner contentment knowing that she/he has been filled with the word of God. And if she/he feels that the word of God is prompting her/him to act upon something then she/he will do so, because the spirit is prompting her/him.
Familiar?
2 - A Spiritualist or Pagan will shuffle the Tarot Cards thoroughly and will then proceed to either divide the deck into 2 - 3 piles turning the top card of each pile face up. Or will turn the top card of the solitary pile and turn it over to reveal the card's image. She/he will notice the image, and depending upon which trendy Tarot Cards she/he may have, will then read the caption underneath the picture. Proceeding on from that is again a similar ritual/routine akin to the modern Christian approach for spiritual sustenance and guidance. She/he will meditate upon the image and name of the card or just meditate on one or the other. She/he will then go about her/his daily routine feeling closer to the Universe, Goddess, God, world in general. She/he may even feel inner tranquillity and may or may not be prompted to act upon the wisdom of her/his Spirit Guide, Deity or inner truth that the Tarot Card inspired.
As you can see there are uncanny similarities between Christian and unchristian rituals and beliefs.

Today's Devotional
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live - Exodus 22:18
As we know witchcraft, paganism, call it what you like, is in the ascendant. Even though you may find that little fact appalling, annoying or even quite vexing it is on one level a source for good news. It means that with so many witches living they are easily found and quite frankly easy prey. If however witches were on the decline it would make any witch-hunt maddeningly difficult and we would have to resort to the good old-fashioned Spanish Inquisitionesque approach of finding who and where they are. So because we have our Lord's endorsement we can kill a witch on any pretext. Consider for instance the Salem Witch Trials. Here was an opportunity not missed by the Godly to claim land, property, revenge for slights committed (imaginary or real) by a foe etc all in the name of God. Whether or not the victims were actual witches is neither here nor there. My point is that the Good Book says that it is a heinous crime to allow a witch to live. It is up to us to see that witches, Satanists, New Ageists etc are once again hunted like animals and made to feel the wrath of our one true God.
With this in mind you might like to consider how to locate a witch.
Sister Amelia and Jesus Ministries™ have been in consultation with our Lord's Spiritual Administration and are pleased to announce that Jehovah has endorsed the use of anointed crosses to find a witch. Rather like dowsing, an anointed cross (preferably silver) works like a magnet illuminating the whereabouts of the ungodly witch. A sure way to kill one is by old-fashioned stoning or hanging or if you're feeling righteous indignation then I suggest crucifixion Jesus style, including vinegar for refreshments. Your local pastor should preside over the ritual/serial culling of witches (your pastor is the high priest of Yahweh) so it is only fitting that he/she should literally cast the first stone. After the ritual is over a good old fashioned sing song and pep talk goes down a treat with our Lord, this will enable you to shed any guilt over murdering someone in cold blood and being an accessory to a worldly crime even though technically this is deemed as a "spiritual war."
Remember killing a witch is a mercy kill in the name of God, sanctioned and endorsed by Him and carried out by the Jews of old. We know they won't be going to heaven so why postpone their inevitable destination. A Good Christian should see that all non-believers meet our Maker ahead of time. Thus ensuring Christian prosperity and a heavenly reward in the afterlife. Praise!
Prayer
Dear heavenly father I pray that you give me the strength and courage
to smite thine enemies in your Holy Name
so that I may sit on your right hand (or is it your left?)
and feel your Godly macho presence under,
round and all over me. Bless you Jesus! Praise you Jesus! Love you Jesus!
