no, only fanatics would say that they are, they are mostly used by fortunetellers, some people believe what is told to them, others do not, and some people like their cards read for amusement.

Deuteronomy 18:9 clearly states that any attempt at divination or "magic" is strictly forbidden (and that to do so would be an abomination against the Lord, no less!). Don't make the mistake of thinking that it's okay to seek prophecy on your own because God gave foresight to his prophets.

This restriction against divination is further reinforced in Catholicism, as in Catechism 2116 it states that all forms of divination are to be rejected. In theory, I suppose you could own tarot cards. But it's certainly best not to subject yourself to the temptation. Better safe than sorry, right?

Hello,

By "pagan" I take it that you are asking if Tarot/tarot reading is a practice done by pagans (people who worship many gods). The the answer is no. Tarot is not affiliated with any specific religion or faith. You can be any faith or no faith and use the cards.

I agree with the previous answer. Tarot cards may be practiced by any person who has a specific religion and also by people who have no specific religion.

Most often however, those who belong to organized religions do not practice the Tarot due to religious taboos. They do seek the services of Tarot Readers, often anonymously because they fear judgment from their religious leaders.
