With regard to Tarot, I think the Christian objection is to fortune-telling (which is not how I use the cards) The general view is that only God knows what lies ahead. But this is only my understanding of the Christian (in my case C of E) standpoint. Some branches of Christianity are much stricter about this. I only brought up the Tarot example to show how legends, myths, folktales etc can lead to a deeper understanding of ones predicament or situation, as can looking at a lovely view in nature, or listening to music. I see all these as aids to meditation, and one could view the Old Testament Genesis accounts in the same way.
