You misunderstand; you're offering a prayer, which is a religious ritual,
for my soul. As a practicing Pagan, I wouldn't dare have performed any
sort of ritual on you - Darren talks about the hubris of some of your
statements, and I have to say, I was quite shocked to see you suggest
that you might perform a ritual on my soul without my permission.

FWIW, I don't consider Tarot to be an "oracle"; it's a way of looking at
a problem and of organizing your thoughts around a decision. Or at least
that's how I look at it and how I use it (when I do).
But some people consider it to be a religious ritual, so of course I
would never perform a "reading" without someone's permission; and because
of the way I use it personally, my reading probably would not have any
value to a third party anyways, so I wouldn't likely start down that road
anyways; the interpretations are far, far too personal for a third party
to do them for you.
