  • I used to work in a shop that could easily be described as “New Age” and it has a tarot reader there. Having looked at the history of tarot but being a complete sceptic, I asked for a reading one time to see for myself how they go.

    Afterwards I asked her “it’s a light therapy session, isn’t it?” She responded “mostly.”

    That’s pretty much what it is, cheap, basic therapy to help you sort through your thoughts, and shares some similarities with CBT. I’d still recommend therapy if you need it, but I don’t mind people going to a tarot reader if that’s what helps them. But I still think the mysticism side of it can be a problem for a variety of reasons.





  • I’ve been to Naples a couple times recently, and from my experience, rain in the summer is usually a sudden downpour, lasts no more than 20 minutes, drops a lot of rain at once and then it’s sunny again. I didn’t experience much wind beyond it being a bit gusty during the rain, but inside one of these houses, they’d be fine. It’ll still be 35°C or more, so a little light splashing would’ve been welcomed.
