 Then how do you explain that this Creative Writing professor at Ashland University offering:

Literary Life Tarot Readings

For $55, I’ll pull tarot cards on your literary quandary or crossroads and send you a write up exploring what this moment is really about— what spiritual invitations you’re receiving, what energies exist in the options you’re facing, and how you might think about the path forward.

Lol so you're gunna try to ban me for saying that I don't think tarot is legitimate? You're either a troll or sensitive to the touch.

I reported you both. @gustav3 for obviously being Marshall Goodman/a giant troll, they have the same writing patterns and obsession with being nasty and stupid. I reported you for being a dick, not spam, just a concern. @eternalwhitenights there’s the three little dots in the right corner, report them both if you want.

Tbh, I wasn't as sure about you. ? Sorry, there's just been a spate of posts/harassment with this guy who's been trying to troll this page and keeps popping up under different profile names, and because your post's tone seemed to be going along with this gustav guy's (who is very obviously a troll), I brought it up. I do apologize if I was off there and misunderstood. I hope you're not a troll, haha!

Okay, now I know you’re the same person because you can’t troll with both accounts at the same time, and you’re accusing one of the most wholesome people on this thread (eternalwhitenights) of being a troll. Nice try Goodman, you still suck.

Uh, you weren’t wrong. He’s gaslighting you. Don’t trust him hon.

Aaaaand I think you just proved my gut suspicion. Can you please stop being rude to people on this forum, whoever you are? I truly do wish you well, but you're really not adding to any conversation or sense of community here, so can you please stop the rude comments? Thank you.

I only have one account. I personally think tarot is bogus, I don't know why this offends you so much but I'm sorry if it did.

Awww thank you. ❤️ That compliment made my day haha!

Confirmed and agreed. Thanks for the heads-up.

You’re literally the one who said you won’t be sorry if you offended someone. Nice try “Good”man. You still suck.

I'm sorry to disappoint but I just made this account like a month ago. You have the wrong guy. I didn't mean to hurt anyone, I was just being a bit sassy.

I'm not that guy dude. And I was saying it just to be sassy, I didn't actually mean to diminish tarot followers. Once again, I am sorry but I think you're taking this a bit too personally.

...and gustav made theirs recently too. If you didn’t bring it up randomly like a dick, and then support Marshall Gustavman, I wouldn’t be suspicious. I’m not offended, I’m just sick and tired of the troll popping up like a gopher. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they made two accounts, I literally messaged to someone about that recently and I’m worried it’s you.

I don't even know who the hell Marshall Gustavman is.

Then again, I’m not entirely convinced it’s you because you assumed my gender and gustav knows not to F*ck with me about that anymore.

Artists quick to censor and not ostensibly valuing free speech.

Once again: if you do tarot, that's cool. Personally I think tarot is a bullshit scam more often than not. It preys on people's insecurities. If you disagree, that's totally okay but there's no reason to be hurt by what another person thinks.

Free speech doesn’t mean free of consequences.

Okay, we’ve reached a middle ground. Thank f*ck. Sorry about accusing you of being gustav aka Marshall Gustav aka Marshall Goodman.

Thank you for understanding that people like tarot for completely no predatory reasons. If anyone does tarot at fairs that aren’t Wiccan/pagan/other, I think they’re scamming for money. And I told you, I’m not hurt, but other people could be, that’s why I went in on you. Again, I’m sorry, but you can’t just randomly say something that could offend and not expect backlash.

People I know actually pay for tarot when they're in distress and it's all bs lol

Actually, that is exactly what it means. If there is a cost, then it isn't free.

I don't even understand what was so controversial about your comment lol. You just gave an example of someone performing scam artistry using tarot.

Tarot is great for creative writing since it is all based on archetypes. Need a conflict? Pull a card and see what it inspires based on its archetypal meaning and symbolism. Need some character development? Pull a card and see how you can incorporate its meaning into that character's motivations or history. It fosters thoughts you would not otherwise come to on your own.

Thank you for being here and explaining this rationally. I’m about to implode and I don’t want to be here, but I’m anxious and this is where I come to talk things out.
