Can a believer go to a fortune teller? This question is asked by many people who are considering visiting or talking to a fortune teller, getting a tarot reading or palm reading. However, the Church has a clear opinion on this matter. As it turns out, magic and religion do not go hand in hand.
Can a Catholic go to a fortune teller? The priest has no doubts. “It’s a sin”
Visiting a fortune teller or reading tarot cards should not be in the area of interest of Catholics. This is stated in the Ten Commandments, specifically the first commandment. “You shall have no other gods before me” directly refers to magic, fortune telling and sorcery.
Sebastian Picur from the parish in Krosno runs a TikTok, where he instructs viewers and gives advice on religious matters. When asked by a viewer about visiting a fortune teller, he made the matter clear. – It is a sin against the first commandment of God, because it directs us towards spiritual forces opposed to Jesus – he said.
Is it necessary to confess a visit to a fortune teller? A Catholic should not feel the need to check the future “in advance”
Fortune telling is a sin condemned, among others, in the Pentateuch. A believer should place their hope and faith in God, so visiting a fortune teller is considered a sin that must be confessed. As we read on the Aleteia.org website, it is about a fundamental issue and the question of who we believe. God, who is the creator, or other idols or self-proclaimed magicians?
If I believe in a God who loves me and who in His loving Providence watches over my life, why should I try to learn something about this life “in advance” and “on my own”?
