Do psychic mediums use tarot cards?

Have you had any experience with tarot card reading? I have been procrastinating my decision to engage a professional tarot card reader. I wonder what does the whole procedure involve!

I believe tarot card readers do some sort of future predictions-am I right? I suppose it is similar to the one that is widely seen in India where people use parrots to pick up a card from a bunch of cards and read what the card says.

I gathered some tidbits about tarot cards. It seems there are several types of tarot card decks. I don't know which one to choose when I engage a professional tarot card reader.

I have another doubt. Do the so-called psychic mediums use tarot cards to predict the future? I am going to look for some free e-book on tarot cards, their meanings and how they should be used.

I welcome your suggestions.

None in India knows Tarot Cards reading. I believe it requires lot of experience and more over the reader of tarot cards should be psychologically fine tuned.

Also, the card reader should know how to ask questions precisely. Tarot was not widely adopted by mystics, occultists and secret societies until the 18th and 19th century.

Although tarot cards were used for fortune-telling in Bologna, Italy in the 1700s, they were first widely publicized as a divination method by Alliette, also called "Etteilla", a French occultist who reversed the letters of his name and worked as a seer and card diviner shortly before the French Revolution.

How it works:
Tarot by Carolyn says, "Tarot works on the principle of energy and attraction – like attracts like, a Universal Law. According to your energy and attitudes in life, you choose cards from your intuitive mind, which represent that vibrational pattern in your evolution. The sincerity and respect with which you approach the Tarot is equivalent to the depth of the answer you receive."
