As someone who is also interested in tarot, I like this apophenic approach because I see an engagement with tarot (or astrology, kabbalah, i-ching and so on) as essentially a work of imagination; imagination for me is the most powerful and essential attributes of our humanity. I believe that engaging with tarot should be an expansive and enriching experience - your "pinch of salt" actually helps to enhance the flavour. I actually came to tarot after reading T. S. Eliot 's The Wasteland, and poets are apt to employ apophenia, as does Eliot in that poem. Indeed, a casual google search for poetry and apophenia just yielded this rather interesting looking article: https://kenyonreview.org/2013/11/coincidences-language-apophenia/

Thanks for providing some good food for thought.
