If your husband is a pastor then it should not damage his relationship with her, bc pastors should recognize that planting a seed is all we can do. In our religion, God is the only one that can make that seed grow. You cannot force anyone to believe anything. Practicing what you preach is important for everyone, regardless of what that message is. Yes, he may be upset, but having a talk with her, and letting her know you’re going to talk to him first about it seems like the right thing to do. I don’t believe in “hiding” things from spouses. It’s a slippery slope once you start doing that. Those are your children together, ask yourself how you would feel if he hid something about your child from you?

Leave her alone. There is nothing wrong with tarot cards. My kids grew up with tarot cards, ouija boards, crystals, seeing me make them, learning about them and using them from a young age. Let her discover herself.

Good for her. In a society that seeks to remove women’s bodily autonomy and freedom, witchcraft offers girls just a sliver of power that isn’t graciously provided by a man. Let her do her thing. And honestly, the more something is forbidden, the more people want to do it. She’s not hurting anyone, nor herself. Don’t be that parent. Kids only have to deal with you until they’re 18. Getting to be part of their lives after that is a privilege and micromanaging your child is a good way for them to contemplate moving away when they are legally able. Ask me how I know. Also, I sell crystals and tarot cards and I assure you that the people who buy them come to zero harm. Encourage her hobby. Maybe she’ll grow out of it, but she’ll always remember that you supported her, even if your opinion was different.

Growing up in an extremely religious household, the best advice I can give to you is not to push your feelings (or your husband’s feelings) onto her. Meaning, don’t push the religion on her.
You’re ABSOLUTELY allowed to tell her that you don’t like or agree with something, but if it isn’t harming anyone, just let her be uniquely her.
Honestly, it’s probably just a phase. But even if it isn’t, & she really enjoys that stuff. 
Because ultimately, none of it is real. It’s just like playing with fancy cards, & a different kind of board game. 
If you’re worried about your husband’s reaction, either it’s time to sit down & talk with him, or if he’s completely unreasonable, just explain to your daughter that this would upset her father. But if she really enjoys that stuff, to just not play with it, with him around, because you don’t want to discourage her or try to control her. Trust me, if you push, kids will pull.

I had to hide stuff like that growing up and honestly I was interested in all religions and spiritual paths and still am. I still believe Yeshua is my guide but this is what my room looks like today. It’s very sad that I had to hide my own spiritual journey from my parents because they thought everything was the devil and yet when you read the Bible it holds astrology within it, the levitical priests had certain crystals on their breastplate, and Yeshua was full of amazing Esoteric knowledge. My mom literally found notes and her and my step father went around putting oil all in the house and started praying against the demons influencing me. Either way when you seek to remove a person’s Free Will especially with prayers or incantations then you’re practicing dark magic as far as I’m concerned!!

Did you “find” them or did you FIND them? It sounds like she probly would not have had them out in the open for fear of your husband finding out. Her path is her path and I wouldn’t say anything. Especially if it will cause turmoil in the house….it will make her not trust you and hide everything else from you both. If you need to say anything to anyone it should be her. Ask her about it and let her know that you support her in her spirituality. That will go alot further with her than ratting her out to her dad. Being a more spiritual person is a great path to be on and I say this from personally experience. I could never get behind normal religion and always felt lost. Since I’ve chosen a different path I have felt so much better and it has made me into a much better person. It’s ok to have a little secret between you and your daughter. It will make you guys closer. And maybe if you talk with her about it all you may find some good in things she does and learn something that could help you on your path. I assure you “the devil is NOT getting her”.

Forced religion is usually not a positive thing. I would remind your husband that just like he chose what he wants he should encourage her to explore and be educated.
Just because he isn’t willing to acknowledge others differently and wants to force his religion at home doesn’t make it right. The fact that something as simple as crystals made you consider lying to your husband means he has LOST his ability to be open and no judging. Sounds like the preacher needs to stop talking and start listening to what helps others also

Newsflash: you can be a Christian and still play with Tarot cards. You need to let her know you found them so she can hide them in a better place. Your husband has no need to know that she has them.

Grew up in a religious household and had various occult/spiritual books taken from me when my family found them. I’m here to say that making a big deal about what they’re into, taking things you find, trying to stop them, etc will only make them hold onto those things more and they’ll be more secretive and untrusting of you. Don’t put a wedge between your daughter and you/her father. Pretend you didn’t see them and let her carry on. She’ll either get over it as a phase (which is most likely) or she’ll be into it, keep going, and learn things to improve herself/life. I’m still into the (deeply) into the occult/tarot, etc and I’m 37. Interest in these things don’t go away unless the person into them gets “tired” of it or bored learning about it. Sometimes It really is a phase and you just have to wait for them to “get bored with it” (as was the case with a lot of old friends of mine) or like in my case, when you try to stop them or “save them” from these interests, they’ll hold onto it forever. Not saying being into it is a bad thing though… people fear what they don’t understand. Because of the history of Christian and religious people prosecuting people with pagan/occult beliefs, those who hold those views will fight harder than you know to prevent anyone from interfering with their study in that area.

How old is she? She probably is just experimenting. I have a sister and my brother’s girlfriend who are in this younger generation and they both have tarot card and are not into anything else but those. Maybe it’s a fad.
The Bible warns against sorceresses, divination, fortunetelling, mediums, and spiritists.
While Tarot can be used for divination and fortunetelling, it can ALSO be used for meditation and intuitive exploring.
Tarot began as tarocchi, which were sets of playing cards and learning devices, and fortunetelling was not involved at that time. Tarocchi and Tarocchini are still used in Europe to be played as games.
I know many Christians and Catholics who use tarot WITH religion and for their own guidance, not fortune telling, and not for entertainment.
Hopefully she’s not getting into anything you don’t feel comfortable with, but perhaps it’s best to speak with her directly? See where she stands and what she is using them for.
Your husband is a pastor which means you are a pastors wife. God has called you both to teach & preach the truth to lost souls. Your daughter is searching for truth. It should come from her parents. jmo

I picked up these 2 that are supposed to help with stress etc. also, they’re pretty

Cards and crystals don’t equal devil.(I know you know this). But I also know how close minded people can be.(cough cough, some of these comments)
Good luck 
I’m not a Christian or even religious, but I’m a pastors kid and I’ll tell you that I chose my own path in life because I am my own person. Your child is their own person. She has the right to explore other opinions, and choose what she believes.

If your husband believes in the devil disrupting your daughter, you should be protecting her from him. Crystals are energy that can calm the mind, help with meditation, and heal. They come from Mother earth. How could something God created be anything but good. Maybe your daughter has chosen a spiritual path and not a religious one. It’s her right to choose her own path to our higher power.
If he can’t see it isn’t devil related then he doesn’t get to know all her business. She will tell him when she feels he needs to know.

Let her do her own thing, have a talk with her to keep it discreet around the dad. It could just be looking at other options and exploring. My sister does the same thing, my moms Baptist, my dad’s catholic, and I’m non denominational Christian lol. Yet we live in harmony. We disagree on things but not really on religion. I do get living in a pastor home (knowing a few people in my life) that there’s a certain image that needs to upheld and there’s a pressure to do that. Tarot cards and crystals are not really the harmful elements.

Stop invading her privacy. It sounds like she’s old enough to put her own laundry away. Drop the basket on the bed and walk right back out the door. If you think there is something going on that is a mental or physical risk then of course you have to check it out, but aside from that let the girl have her own space.
I still own the cards I got in high school. They are silly and I don’t believe in them but I have them and it didn’t turn into lifelong trauma.

Hiding it from your husband is NOT the best thing. Assuming you respect your husband.
You were in her room, and in her private space and found something. I’m guessing she’s old enough to put her own laundry away if she purchased tarot cards?
Say nothing, and next time leave the laundry on the bed.

If you trust your daughter and know she isn’t creating no harm to herself or others in any way, not just cards or crystal Leave it alone if you know he will over react about it. unless you know he will get over it real quick and its just him having a fit. That will turn into quite the battle and unless you are 
ready to support and defend your daughter its not a hill i would climb. I understand why you want to tell him but if there are no problems, don’t create one because this isn’t just about finding cards and crystals. Its also about trust. Now if there are issues with her and you do feel concerned for her safety then you do what you feel you need to do. You know your daughter.

Angels speak through cards as well. They are a physical object that you can be spoken to in. They help with knowing what path to take, what to focus on, not to talk to the devil. Crystals, depending on what they are, have different meanings. Some are used for healing, some help you focus. Or maybe like my son, she just thinks they’re pretty and likes to collect them. Neither are harmful in anyway. And nowhere close to “black magic”

I would say just talk to her. Don’t start an unnecessary fight. With him and with her.

Really be honest of what it can do to her faith by opening doors she doesn’t understand. And if in the end as a grown child out of my house she would like to pursue that stuff, it really is on her.

Crystals are used every day in ordinary things so as long as she’s not worshipping them, they are good for cleansing. It takes practice to be able to read tarot cards and if she learns and can actually use them correctly make sure it’s coming from a good positive place and not evil or negative place. Your husband should not be mad at any of this not all things spiritual are bad.
