After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?
You're absolutely right β you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

A person stands at a podium giving a conference presentation in a hotel meeting room. A projection screen next to them displays a colorful slide titled βSpirituality at Scale: A Large-Sample Study of Tarot Readings,β co-authored by an associate professor and a PhD candidate in sociology at UMass Boston. The presenter faces the audience while the slide includes bright geometric shapes in blue, orange, pink, and yellow tones.
π Exciting news!
PhD candidate Cam Marsinelli (@cmarsinelli.bsky.social) presented research at the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion in Minneapolis.
With Dr. Evan Stewart (@evanstewart.bsky.social), they used AI to analyze YouTube tarot readings + engagement. Congrats! π #UMB #Sociology

Screenshot of a slide titled "The Case: Tarot & Spiritual Practice Online, at Scale." We show that self-reports of practicing tarot in the last 12 months are up among 18-29 year olds in the National Religion and Spirituality Survey, and the Pew Research Center reports 30% of Americans consult astrology, tarot cards, or fortune tellers.
Tomorrow #ASA2025 / ASR2025: Let's talk tarot. Come out to see @cmarsinelli.bsky.social & me with new findings on what practitioners say & what audiences reward with attention when we study spiritual practice online, at scale. Session 50668 - Religion & the Therapeutic at Noon!
