Now that the Presidential election results are in, it's interesting to go back and see what a few Tarot-reading bloggers were predicting with their various spreads and decks.
Julia Gordon-Bramer, who drew the Emperor in response to "Who's going to be the next president of the U.S.?", declared without a doubt that McCain would win.
"Twilight" pulled three cards and felt they pointed to a Democratic win, but hedged her bets a bit by claiming they could point to either "a change of administration ... from Republican to Democrat" or "a change on the Democratic ticket."
Christine asserted her ten-card Celtic Cross "heavily suggest[ed] a McCain victory."
Margot the Marrakesh Mystic "stuck her neck out" and predicted a "very narrow popular win" for McCain ... and that "something would happen to McCain while in office," shifting Palin to the Presidency. But Madam Lichtenstein took a look at the very same cards and called the race for Obama!
TarotDame waited until election night, drew the Three of Cups and King of Cups, and declared Obama the winner.
Back in July, Coconut Grove psychic Sandra Richardson's pendulum pointed to the Ace of Cups, prompting her to name Obama as the winner. (In the same article, psychic Jill Dahne predicts Hillary Clinton will win the election with "Bill as her sidekick.")
Aurion Mission gave Obama the popular vote ... but identified McCain as the winner (as in "the Bush-Gore election").
With one breath, the proprietor of The Pagan Temple (on a page decidedly not safe to surf if you're at work) pulled a card to reveal "the outcome of the election" ... but with the next breath, declared the Three of Coins "by no means identifies the winner of the election." And while the card did "seem to suggest an Obama win," the reader also noted "a McCain victory is not out of the question."
"Vox" did a compicated reading that declared Obama the winner ... by a landslide ... or maybe not.
Carol St. James picked Obama, but 78 Friends did a group reading and picked McCain.
In the comments on this page, KiltedWitch predicted a McCain win.
THOUGHT QUESTION: If a reporter approached you today and asked, "Can Tarot cards accurately predict the outcome of an election?" ... what would you say?
