Do you believe ghosts are possible? If not, what do you think people's experiences of ghosts actually are?

Thinking about it, I think I've got two different kinds or tiers of 'belief'. There's science and realism and shit in the main, serious tier. Core beliefs, I guess. Then there's the magical, fun tier. I like a little magic and see no harm in it (as long as that magic doesn't have anything to do with in and out crowds and finger pointing and judgement). This tier is for ghosts and the metaphysical and tarot and old gods etc. Stuff that I don't necessarily believe believe but find enriching anyway. I haven't nurtured this tier for a long time myself though.
That said. I've definitely had one or two weird experiences in life, although also more when I was younger and more open to it. So I'm not going to rule it out. But I'm also just as open to there always being some 'real' explanation.

Oh, I love divination systems myself. I don't think they have any predictive validity, but I think they have value in "de-rutting" your thoughts. I find they foster creativity and unjam blocks and such by putting a new way of looking at issues.
Currently I'm playing around with the 易经 (Yijing/I-Ching). (I literally just put up a photo-essay yesterday of some of my tools, and a photo-essay with two forms of divination, including the Yijing a couple of weeks before.)

That's exactly the way I look at things like tarot as well. The cards tell you little stories that you relate to things in your own life. And it can provide new angles to look at things from and possible new insights. It's definitely not how it's portrayed in movies and Death does not literally mean death lol. I think something like astrology works in pretty much the same way.
