Tarot cards and other forms of divination are inherently spiritual. The 10 commandments state that you shall have no other gods before me. By seeking counsel and knowledge through divination you are putting it before God himself. You might ask then why should Christians seek help from anything, becauase that would inexplicablely put that person or thing before God. I think the reason that divination is condemned specifically is because it claims spiritual knowledge as well as connections in the spiritual world that God never intended there to be. I myself believe that "black magic" such as tarot cards do indeed work, but only because they are empowered by Lucifier. Simple objects can have no power. As CS Lewis would say, we are living in enemy occupied territory.
Tarot cards seek to take from God what is his. An they "work" to a certain extent I am sure. Yet the path of life as a "Christian" (I prefer follower of Jesus), is not supposed to be easy, it is the "strait and narrow path."
