"Usually in fiction, they're being portrayed as accurate and truthful--if that's the case, just pretend the reader sees them for what they really mean, not the made up occult crap."

...what?

Tarot cards were created with particular meanings in mind. The "real meanings" are the meanings intended by those who created them, not the literal interpretations of people who can't grasp basic symbolism.

It doesn't matter if they're bologna. The "made up occult crap" consists of the actual meanings of the cards, given that the cards themselves were made up for the purpose of doing occult crap. If tarot cards had been created for something entirely different, or had they been invented as a device in fiction, then you would have a point. But that's not the case.

Are you bonkers? Tarot cards were originally playing cards. For playing cards. That's like saying the regular four-suit deck was "created" for divination.
