Tarot is great though- if not for fortune telling, one deck can summarize much of the human experience, with the Major Arcana telling a story of a path of self-discovery and enlightenment with archetypes along the way, and the Minor Arcana detailing scenes of everyday life and the people you meet.
There's also a lotta cool history/symbolism if you're into it. The OG scholars actually hated fortune telling because they saw it as degrading to the value of the Tarot.
But if you are into fortune telling, the Tarot probably can be connected to every belief system and every aspect of life; it doesn't have to tell you exactly what the future is, but it can simply remind you of perspectives you haven't considered.
I believe in the universe
