Tarot Card Draw

No. It is a random number generator dealing from a list of 78 cards, and it is offered as entertainment and as a prompt for reflection. Whatever use you get from it comes from what the prompt makes you think about, not from the cards knowing anything.

Yes, and more carefully than most. It uses the browser's cryptographic random source with rejection sampling, because the obvious shortcut is biased: a random byte modulo 78 makes 22 of the cards 33% more likely than the other 56. Over 7.8 million draws that shows up as a 1.36 ratio between the most and least common card.

No. The deck is shuffled and then dealt from the top, which is a draw without replacement — exactly like a physical deck. Picking a random card independently for each position instead would give a 45% chance of a repeat in a ten-card spread, which is the giveaway of a tool that skipped the shuffle.

A reversed card is one that comes out upside down, and it is read as a shadow or a blocked form of the same idea. Plenty of readers ignore reversals entirely — a matter of tradition rather than correctness — so there is a switch for it. Turning them off halves the number of distinct outcomes and makes readings gentler.

Because that is how the minors are built. The suit sets the domain — Wands for action, Cups for feeling, Swords for thought, Pentacles for the material — and the rank sets the stage within it, from Ace as a beginning to Ten as completion. This tool composes the meaning from both rather than treating all 56 as unrelated, which keeps the readings consistent.

No. The question box is there so the reading reads back with your question above it, and it stays in the page. Nothing is stored, logged or uploaded, and reloading clears it.

78: the 22 Major Arcana plus 56 Minor Arcana, split into four suits (Wands, Cups, Swords, Pentacles) of 14 ranks each. This tool shuffles and deals from all 78, so every spread draws from the complete deck rather than a shortened version.

The three-card spread here is read as Past, Present and Future — one card per position, dealt from the same shuffled, no-repeat deck as the other spreads. It's a quick way to get a broader prompt than a single card without the length of the Celtic Cross.

Yes. There's no sign-up, no email capture and no paywalled spreads — pick a spread, press Draw, and read the result. Copying or downloading the reading afterward doesn't require an account either.

Yes — pick the Yes/No spread. It draws one card from the same fair, shuffled 78-card deck as every other spread and reads its orientation: upright means yes, reversed means no. That's the simplest of a few yes/no conventions in use (pre-sorting the deck into yes/no/maybe piles is another), which is why "Allow reversals" locks on for this spread specifically — the answer needs an orientation to read.
