NEW! beta automated tarot tool

this beta tool uses the same random.org methodology to generate the truly random numbers, automatically matches the number generated to its tarot card, and displays the generated cards in a list! each one is linked to its info page, although I haven't filled out the info pages yet - the only ones with any information are The Fool and The Magician as of Nov 2022.

concentrate on your question, take three calming breaths, and click here to draw five cards.

questions and answers (click to expand)

how do i use this deck?

use the random number generators! the default range is 0-77, but if you want to draw reversals, set the minimum to -78. more info on that can be found here.

what's the meaning of the cards I got?

try biddy tarot! that's what I always used while learning. in the meantime, i'll be making my own pages on the meanings of the cards and how i personally understand them. if you click on one of the numbers in the tarot index table, it may lead to more information! (when i put them in...)

what's the point? why not use some other easier site?

as far as i know, all other tarot services on the internet use pseudorandom number generation in order to draw their cards. this is ineffective from a divination standpoint; the closer to true randomness one can get, the more likely it is that your reading is authentically influenced by the energies that you're trying to connect to. if you press a button or click on some fancy digital card on other tarot websites, pseudorandom number generation means that you or anyone else who clicked that same button at the same time would get the same result. (this is simplified but still) by using random number generators from random.org, you're getting random numbers generated from atmospheric noise, which is much closer to true random. basically i wanted a digital divination system i could actually trust, and this is it!

do you have anything else planned for this space?

loads!

handwrite individual pages for each card
make seperate pages for different tarot spreads, and give info on how to read a spread
automate fetching and presenting a link to an external definition when a card is drawn
ascii art for the cards
introduce other digital divination that actually follows the principles of divinaiton in my belief system
offer an area to track which readings you've gotten - perhaps a text input box, or just a little notepad to write thoughts in while you're interpreting

i have no clue how to read tarot. would you give me a reading and interpret what I've drawn?

i love reading for people! if you're a townie just message me via internal mail. if you don't have an account on tilde.town i can't help you at the moment unfortunately, but stay tuned!
