Tarot? Is it Satanic?
I have started the Study of Tarot. Should I abandon it or should I search it out for truths' sake?
Debate: Can we in persuit of Truth brand any belief system Stupid because we dont understand it? I also wonder about religion in general. It appears to me to be one of the purest forms of communism. Wonderful Churches are built and monies are collected for redistribution as others deem best. Is this the way to the Almighty?

Hello
Tarot are not Satanic. They are non-denominational.
They are 78 pieces of laminated card, which can be used to develop the self psychically as well as personally, they are excellent for meditation & guidance.
If your intuition has lead you to the Tarot, stay with them & see what they have to teach you.

Actually it's a special deck of cards invented in Europe for various games that needed an extra suit. Those games never really caught on in England, so the deck wasn't much known in the English speaking parts of the world. It's use in Divination only goes back to the mid 19th century. The Christians claim any form of Divination is Satanic, the attitude towards playing cards varies between denominations.

Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games such as Italian Tarocchini and French Tarot. In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards are utilized primarily for divinatory purposes, with the trump cards plus the Fool card making up the twenty-two major arcana cards and the pip and four face cards the fifty-six minor arcana. The divinatory meanings of the cards are derived mostly from the Kabbalah of Jewish mysticism and from Medieval Alchemy.
so go ahead and play to your hearts content

No.
There is no such thing as Satan. He was a mythological creature created by the catholic church by demonising their gods to scare pagans into converting to the new religion.

Ehhhhhh...
It's a fun little toy to mess around with at times.
That's about it.
I actually have my own deck of Tarot cards, got them as a present once.
And trust me, there is nothing evil about them!
Neither do they show me any hidden truths, because they are NOT really supernatural, nor anything even remotely similar to that.
As for Satan, he does not exist, so I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you.

No. It is a deck of cards.
Your intentions and your beliefs define the nature of the actions.
