Psychic Inbaal Honigman has warned that viral tarot videos flooding social media are often 'pointless and meaningless,' and she is urging viewers to be highly vigilant of fraudsters and AI-generated content.
Psychic's Rise in Popularity
Inbaal, who has been psychic her entire life and began using Tarot cards at 20, notes that the stigma around her profession has lifted. 'The stigma of the psychic has been lifted, and also because times are hard,' she explains. She credits pop culture for modernising the industry, citing shows like 'The Ghost Whisperer' and 'Long Island Medium.'
'Up to twenty years ago, psychics were seen as ugly, dodgy ladies, sitting in dusty libraries and speaking in metaphors,' she said. Now, 'psychics are seen as relatable, everyday people who have a special gift.'
Economic Downturn and Uncertainty
Inbaal believes economic downturn, the pandemic, and multiple wars have driven people to seek answers from psychics. 'Let down by leadership, financial institutions and those in positions of power, people now turn to the one direction which can tell them about the future, which is the psychic.'
Concerns Over Online Content
Inbaal is critical of mass readings on social media, describing them as 'pointless and meaningless.' She warns of a 'lack of regulation in broadcasting' and highlights the rise of AI-generated videos featuring 'people who don't actually exist, sharing generic, flat advice.'
She advises that big decisions are '100% for the individual to decide, not for a psychic.' She says, 'Any decision that you take in your life, you're the person who has to live with the consequences, so the decision is entirely yours.'
Building Trust and Using Intuition
Inbaal stresses the importance of building a relationship with a trusted psychic. 'If you trust an impersonal online person, whether they're psychic or not, is irrelevant; you're putting your trust where it doesn't belong.'
For those interested in learning Tarot, she suggests starting by shuffling cards daily and avoiding AI-led courses. 'You can read Tarot books or take video courses, there are lots, but please don't sign up for AI courses!'
