Do you believe in at least on of the things I listed?
I believe in all of these things. I use tarot to get perspective on current situations in my life, especially if I haven't been able to really parse together what I'm supposed to be doing to alleviate a potential conflict. I used to perform readings professionally but the pressure became too much. There were clients who would contact me 2 times or more per week for 30+ minute sessions. I charged $4.99 a minute and became concerned for their finances and mental well being. In the end, I didn't like having that kind of sway over someone and now only do readings for friends. Gratis.
I see tarot, actual astrology (not the watered down sun-sign based horoscope nonsense one finds in Cosmo or the newspaper), and other divinatory tools to be just that; tools.
I have considered visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner for a consultation as I'd like a more specialized, preemptive, mode of healthcare to go along with the doctor I currently see.
What is that saying? There are many things in heaven and on earth...? These practices and belief systems just happen to be among those many things.

And their brains are releasing adrenaline, dopamine, even dimethyltryptamine from the pineal gland! This has serious educational value! Thanatophobia and this N.D.E. is giving us euphoric altered awareness! Don't you see, Princess? We were all born to die! – Finn the Human Pay me what you owe me. Don't act like you forgot. BBHMM.

Gottaloveacid said: Karma is true, and technically isn't even pseudoscience. First off, doing something bad will probably leave you feeling guilty, while doing something good will make you feel better. Also whoever you're doing anything to and those around will notice if you do good or bad things, and will treat you differently accordingly.
Because of that, doing good things will positively affect your future, and doing shitty things will negatively affect your future. It isn't any crazy spiritual/pseudoscience thing though.
That isn't what Karma is though. Karma is something you accumulate for your next life. So if you spend you life kicking beavers your next life will be as a dung beetle. Do good things all your life in the next life you will be rich and live in a good country. People in India see a one legged beggar and feel they can ignore him and say it's his fault for being a scumbag in the last life. I don't believe in any of the above topics, but am interested in them.
