How do feel about electronic tarot?

[tigerlilybug]

I have the Galaxy Tarot app. I love the sound it makes when it "shuffles." I am currently using as a learning tool, not to do actual readings. I normally do Draw a Card, then whatever comes up, I identify it and think about its meanings. Then when I'm ready, flip it over and compare my meanings to the ones given on the app.

That is so funny I love the shuffle sound too! And the butterfly cards I use it for learning as well I like how it gives you the reversed meaning along with the upright, all around the galaxy app has tons of info which I love for learning.

Reality is really a huge information system. A computer program or app is just another one assigning various possibilities to given events. Why they ought to be different? Maybe because the programmers can cheat you for the sake of sales making an app that gives you more positive predictions?

I think our reallity system is hacked all the time by intelligences living in it...

I have a few ebooks because they can be cheaper than real books, but I have never felt any need for etarot or etoys in general. Real toys are good enuf for me. By the way, electronic shuffling simulates real shuffling, but it is a pseudo randomization using a mathematical formula. It is probably best if the program lets you randomly choose which cards to use.

I got on the ebooks wagon when I got the kindle it really does save you but I do prefer the real deal I love how all books have different fonts and sizes of the book itself the kindle books all look the same inside /: and thanks for the info on shuffling thats what really made me skeptical because the cards just wiggle you can't tell how their mixing up.

I tested the accuracy of them with my real decks to see if I would get the same answers. I did, on many occasions. Still prefer the real cards.

I have the Galaxy Tarot app on my tablet that I use primarily for reference vs. actual readings. My preference is to have tangible cards to manipulate. This also allows for more variety of cards. I don't feel as connected when I'm connected (electronically) if that makes any sense.

As for books - that's another matter. While I prefer books over ebooks, ebooks are more practical for me as there is not enough space in my house for all the books I have on my tablet.

Oh that makes perfect sense I can totally relate! I like how the cards feel in my hands sometimes I just shuffle while watching a movie. I have a ton of ebooks too if they were really in my house people might think I'm running a library.

Yes you can but why would you?
