Today we are looking at psychics, divination and what does the Bible say about tarot cards? Specifically we’ll be exploring what the Bible has to say about psychics, mediums, the practice of divination. We will also discuss using divination tools such as tarot cards.
The Bible addresses the issue of Psychics, mediums and Divination in several passages. Offering both guidance and a warning to Believers. The clearest statement is found in Deuteronomy 18:10-12. It says:
“there shall not be found among you anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets Omens or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord”.
Saying this is ‘an Abomination to the Lord’ is extremely strong wording for God to use. This warning is meant to be taken seriously. So why is this warning so strong? Well there’s several reasons at its core the Bible warns us against seeking guidance from sources other than God himself. By Consulting psychics or mediums we’re essentially placing our trust in human beings or spiritual entities. Rather than trusting in God’s wisdom and guidance.
Furthermore the Bible tells us that the future is ultimately in God’s hands. Only He knows what lies ahead in the future. So seeking to uncover the future through psychics, it just leads to confusion, deception and even spiritual harm. God does not want anyone to be deceived.
Who Are Psychics Speaking To?
It says in the Bible the Devil comes to cause confusion and poses as an angel of Light. Light in biblical times meant goodness. So this means the devil pretends to be something good so you don’t realize the devil’s actually behind it. Psychics often think they are speaking to deceased loved ones angels, saints, spirit guides. The Bible assures us that none of that is true. That you are only ever speaking to demons pretending to be these things.
Why Do Psychics Give Good News?
Many people often ask you know but psychics seem to give good news so why would the devil deceive psychics and pretend to be something good? This is because you are seeking wisdom from something other than God which he asked you not to do. It’s also practicing the occult which ultimately is a practice of the devil it’s not a Godly practice. This deception of Psychics is leading you away from a true relationship with God and closer to the devil.
How Do Psychics Give Accurate Readings?
Another question I see frequently is how do psychics give accurate readings? The truth is psychics are really speaking to demons. Demons hang around families for generations so they know if you have a brother or sister or a grandmother who has just passed away. They know your circumstances. This is demons feeding this information they know about you to the psychic so you are deceived.
How Do Psychics Predict The Future?
A follow-up question as well is, how do psychics predict the future then? The truth is that they actually can’t. Demons tell psychics guesses of what may happen in your future. These are educated guesses based off demons following your family and you. Sometimes these guesses will come true and then it seem like the psychic is real. However most of the time they don’t come true.
In Leviticus 19:31 it explains psychics are simply deceived people who are being used by the devil to lead others astray. Do not to seek out psychics. The verse says “do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritualists for you will be defiled by them I am the Lord your God”.
Can You Follow God And Be A Psychic?
Some people claim they are both, that they are a follower of God and a psychic. This is someone who is deceived and is not really following God. God’s word, the Bible, still applies to us today. His instructions to us apply today and they are there to guide us, protect us, grow us closer to Him. These instructions warn very clearly that you cannot do both. You cannot follow God plus the occult. You cannot follow God and take part in the devil’s activities.
In 1 Corinthians 10 it says “you cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too, you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons. Are you trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than He?”
If You Have Been Using Tarot Cards
If you’ve practiced tarot cards or you’ve been to medium readings, or you’ve been to a
psychic already the best thing you can do from this point on is to trust God. Trust that God says the messages these ‘people ‘psychics’ are receiving are not from Him. These messages are not from anything good and it’s demonic deception. Repent of these things and ask God to guide you, to grow closer to Him and walk His path.
It’s important to remember the devil’s mission is to lead us away from God by any means necessary. The devil is not going to be obvious. Satan is not going to walk up to you and ask you to sign your soul away. The devil will pretend to be something good and slowly lead you astray. It is important we read the Bible and listen to God’s words. To know what is and what is not from Him.
Repent
It’s also important to remember that we don’t know better than God. God absolutely warns in the Bible this is not a Godly practice. There is not anything but evil and deception behind it. God says many times in the Bible, not to lean on your own understanding. Trust what God is saying to you. If you have a belief that goes against God’s word, be open to the fact that you have been deceived and repent.

Is it possible to communicate with spirits or angels through tarot cards, or is it strictly forbidden by the Bible? How can we discern between genuine spiritual communication and deceptive practices?”
From a biblical perspective, communicating with spirits or angels through tarot cards is strictly forbidden. The Bible consistently warns against engaging in any form of divination, spiritism, or occult practices. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Biblical Prohibitions on Divination
The Bible explicitly forbids practices that involve seeking knowledge or guidance through supernatural means outside of God. This includes the use of tarot cards, which are a form of divination:
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 states, “Let no one be found among you… who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells… Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
Leviticus 19:31 adds, “Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.”
These verses emphasize that God’s people should not seek guidance or knowledge through means like tarot cards, which rely on supernatural sources other than God.
2. Communication with Angels
The Bible acknowledges the existence of angels, and there are instances where they communicate with people (e.g., Gabriel appearing to Mary in Luke 1:26-38). However, this communication is always initiated by God, not sought out through human means or occult practices.
Colossians 2:18 warns, “Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you.” Seeking to communicate with angels through unauthorized means can lead to deception.
3. Discerning Between Godly and Deceptive Spiritual Communication
The Bible provides guidance on how to discern between genuine spiritual communication and deception:
1 John 4:1 advises believers to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.” Genuine spiritual guidance will always align with God’s Word and His character.
Galatians 1:8 warns, “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse.” Any spiritual communication that contradicts biblical teachings is to be rejected.
2 Corinthians 11:14 highlights that “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” Deceptive spiritual forces can appear good, but their teachings will not align with Scripture.
4. Seeking Guidance from God Alone
The Bible encourages seeking wisdom, guidance, and understanding directly from God:
James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
Psalm 119:105 reminds believers that “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” God’s Word is the ultimate guide for truth and spiritual discernment.
Using tarot cards to communicate with spirits or angels is forbidden in the Bible because it opens individuals to spiritual deception and bypasses God’s ordained ways of seeking guidance. True communication with God is through prayer, Scripture, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Anything that contradicts or sidesteps this is considered dangerous and deceptive in biblical teaching.
