Draw your card when it feels right.

Tarotlicht is tarot you take part in: the cards pass you by face down, and you press “Stop” at your moment. Or you choose the card in the circle that draws you in. Alongside that, a dictionary of all 78 cards, eight spreads, a history of tarot and a course for getting started.

Two ways to draw

Stop the reel

The card backs sweep past in an arc. You press “Stop”, the reel halts at once and your card turns over.

Choose from the circle

All the cards lie face down in two slowly turning rings. You tap the one that draws you in.

Your moment decides

Your moment fixes the card, and the animation afterwards changes nothing. The randomness happens in your browser, and nothing is stored.
