It is
Summerween and I'm already in a spooky mood, preparing myself ready mentally for Halloweenso let me blog again about an old horror trope. I took this in
Brighton, on the
Brighton Palace Pier to be precise. I think it's the very first
Tarot consultant business I have ever seen. And in a cart, like in old horror movies. Now for the record, I do not believe in
Tarot reading, or any supernatural in general. That said, I often read and watched horror stories when Tarot reading is involved in some capacity. And in fiction, it's always accurate, and more to the point, it's predictions are always catastrophic and sinister. So I associate Tarot reading with gloom and doom. It was a hot and sunny day when I saw this, yet seeing this I shivered.
My grandma took me to get my palm read when I was 12. Another lady did a tarot reading. Another lady told me I have a guardian angel. I don't believe in any of that but it was a fun night.
ReplyDeleteTarot reading is for entertaining..and I don't like to watch horror movies or series.
ReplyDeleteTarot is a trope in some classic Film Noir movies as well! I love tarot, its interpretation and images. I would probably get a reading from Ivor just to see how well he knew his stuff.
