Forum rules FORUM DESCRIPTION & GUIDELINES:
This is the place for Topics, Discussions, Questions, Opinions and things that don't seem to fit within an existing category on the forum.
*IMPORTANT: Please help keep things focused. Feel free to post what you want here as long as it relates to the spirit of the Cult of Tarot. That means Cards of all kinds, Occult, Spiritualism, Astrology etc.
Sometimes, due to the nature of the beast, us Tarot people can be quite serious. (Although there is a lot of light heartedness and good humour in many of our posts).
So I thought maybe, just maybe, it would be okay if we had a thread devoted to Tarot humour. Up to us to keep it in the spirit of the forum. I think it is possible.
So I'll dive in first with something that really resonated with me. I've had one of those more difficult and mentally taxing weeks that we all go through at times and I saw this tarot card which when I saw it, really made me laugh. I said "Hey, that's me up there!! Get down you silly twit!!! That's NOT going to work. Now stop playing at self-pity and come down and play with the adults."
Rumi was asked “which music sound is haram?” Rumi replied, "The sound of tablespoons playing in the pots of the rich, which are heard by the ears of the poor and hungry." (haram means forbidden)
Ooh! AgnosticTarot on reddit (a user) has made some really funny tarot memes.
There's also Tarot Memes on facebook.
There's a couple others on facebook too....
Someone here, I think Joan Marie when creating the Poor Relations game thread, shared this tumblr called Unhelpful Tarot. It makes me laugh too, but it's more dry.
And from AgnosticTarot mentioned above, here are my three favorites by them
"All I can think of when I see the Page of Cups"
"You've obtained a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy!"
"Every time"
On my phone mainly so pardon the typos! Also if I seem more lucid than average, I'm probably typing on a PC. Hah!

The Emperor tells everyone he thinks it should be done right now and starts delegating responsibilities.
The Hierophant offers advice on the missing part after consulting with the High Priestess.
The Lovers umm and ahh about what wattage bulb to put in this time.
The Chariot charges in and starts doing it himself regardless of the others’ protests.
Strength surreptitiously places what’s needed into Chariot’s hands and gets it done her way.
