As a teenager, I actually knew how to use a Tarot deck for fortunetelling. I wish I could tell something deep about the cards channeling Jungian archetypes -- the sad truth is they're mostly channeling the Barnum effect :)
Just as well... the occult makes for good fiction, I don't think it'd be better to live in a world where it was real!

Imagine Elon Musk starting a new business to disrupt and exploit the occult industries... that doesn't end well.

Actually a minor plot point in one of the Laundry Series novels, can't remember which.
(I've enjoyed the first four or five books in that series, but I didn't like the newer ones much)
