If your intentions are pure, and you say a prayer before laying out the cards, they work like any other tool: for the highest good of the one receiving the reading. If, on the other hand, you're sloppy about your intentions... you can get all kinds of results, potentially damaging to both people involved. As with any tool, the "how" isn't as important as the "why" ;)
Those of us who are very highly psychic and intuitive (this is a real thing, I could tell you stories...) need tools to channel our experiences productively. Tarot can be such a tool, although its use easily corrupts if the user isn't careful.
The woman I did the reading for was African-American, but the lifetime that was haunting her was clearly European. The genetic memory of atrocities continues for generations indefinitely, until healed. I believe that she was trying to heal it.
