Speaking as an ex-teenage witch [1] and a student of Crowley's Book of Thoth, this is... underwhelming? At the very least, if you are going to re-interpret the Tarot for the modern era, you should make an effort to design your own deck, rather than repurpose an old deck, even keeping the cards' names.<p>For the uninitialised, that is how Crowley did his Tarot of Thoth, essentially an update of the old Tarot for the modern era (welll... Crowley's era!):<p><a href="https://www.tarot.com/tarot/decks/crowley" rel="nofollow">https://www.tarot.com/tarot/decks/crowley</a><p>For instance, the first thing I'd do would be to redesign Lust to more closely match the Internet (a red woman riding a beast of many heads):<p><a href="https://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/strength/crowley" rel="nofollow">https://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/strength/crowley</a><p>And The Tower:<p><a href="https://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/the-tower/crowley" rel="nofollow">https://www.tarot.com/tarot/cards/the-tower/crowley</a><p>An obvious metaphor for the post-9/11 world, no doubt.<p>_____________<p>[1] ex-both, to be clear.
I was expecting "Hexen 2.0" by Suzanne Treister (<a href="https://www.suzannetreister.net/HEXEN2/TAROT_COL/HEXEN_2_TAROT.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.suzannetreister.net/HEXEN2/TAROT_COL/HEXEN_2_TAR...</a>). It's a Tarot deck with "mysticism of the 20th century" theme - CIA, computing, quantum, counterculture, etc.
The card images are from this deck: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider–Waite_tarot_deck" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider–Waite_tarot_deck</a>
Code, Keyboard, Pixels and Docs appear to be the suits.<p>Some of the Major Arcana were funny to me: The Tower (usually meaning I believe a very bad turn of events) has become "The Reorg".<p>Years ago I was drawn to the "Alchemical Tarot" deck by Robert Place for his amazing artwork.<p>It's gone in and out of print, being tweaked when re-issued. Looks like the 6th edition (and examples of his amazing art) can be found here:<p><a href="https://robertmplacetarot.com/the-alchemical-tarot-renewed-4th-edition/" rel="nofollow">https://robertmplacetarot.com/the-alchemical-tarot-renewed-4...</a>
is this supposed to do anything? I click "Go", I see a card. Hovering over the card gives me a pointer-cursor as though i should click it, but clicking it does nothing. The only part of the page that does anything is the link to biddytarot.com to explain the current card.<p>Am I missing something?
Nice, though it seems like cards come out only upright (I only drew a few cards).<p>One can still additionally flip a coin heads=upright/tails=reversed to manually correct the issue.

>is it safe?<p>>i met a witch in mendocino and told her i was building a tarot website. she told me to build with good intentions, and that is what i have done. use at your own risk.<p>Don't know if this is satirical or not, but it was a good chuckle regardless :p
