I have been very interested in tarot for a while. It's mystique has always fascinated me. I have been thinking of purchasing/making a set.

I spoke to my father about this (he is very spiritual and in touch with other planes) but a sense of negative energy filled the room. He told me stories of people who used it and had similar effects of an aftershock to using a ouija board. (Hauntings, negative energies, etc.)

Is this true or something that happens often? Can the tarot turn bad if one is not experienced enough? It doesn't seem possible since (from my limited knowledge) the ouija is more about grasping things from intuition and the minds eye rather than spirits and other entities unkown.

Is there anything I need to be wary of when studying or doing actual readings?

I'm sorry if there is already a thread about this, I had a quick squiz (and even used the search function (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush2.gif) ) but I didn't see anything.
