Having trouble making a decision? Worried about the future? Concerned that secret forces are controlling your destiny? Then it's time to consult the Tarot..

Ask your question out loud (be as specific as you can) and chose one or three cards:

draw one random card
a word of advice in answer to your question;

draw three random cards
advice with more context - your perception (self conscious awareness), what you don't know (subsconcious knowledge) and the truth of the matter (superconsciousness).

tarot study
The tarot is much more than a tool for divination - here you will find listings for each card together with their interpretations and hermetic correspondences.

WTF?

This little website is a simple application written in Python to draw one or three randomly selected tarot cards from a dictionary of 78 descriptions and image references. The source code is here - there are no license restrictions on the code, please feel free to fork or re-use.

The card images are the late Jean-Claude Flornoy's lovely restoration of the tarot of Jean Dodal - you can buy the deck from his website Tarot History. They are used here with the kind permission of Roxanne Flornoy.

The card interpretations are the work of the late Dr Yoav Ben Dov, which he made available under the Creative Commons by-nc-sa licence - please be sure to link back to his website if you use them.

As for me, my name is Jeremy Tarling and I work as a metadata specialist at the BBC. I've been fascinated by the tarot since childhood when my aunty first introduced me to the cards.
