Correction on the web site address for the Orphalese Tarot Card program:
http://www.orphalese.net/tarot/tarot.htm
It is a *very* nice program, and is free shareware to download (US $9.99 to register it). Some of the program's features:
- Uses your favourite tarot pack: The program lets you use choose any set of images for the card faces. You can download decks from the decks and links page, installing them with a single mouse click. You can scan in your own decks too: the help file which comes with the program explains how to store your images so they appear in the program's menu.
- Save your readings: You can save any reading, and then reload it for further study at a later time.
- Perfect for comparative readings: The ease with which you can switch between packs makes it perfect for doing comparative readings: you can lay out a spread and then examine it using different decks, at the touch of a button.
- Full Word Processor facilities for annotating readings: The program lets you save readings with extensive (in fact unlimited) notes, which you can format WP style. You can also export these notes to your favourite WP program, such as Microsoft Word.
- Full colour screen captures: Create full colour images, at the touch of a button.
- Infinite Spreads: The program creates spreads by reading data from special files which contain the co-ordinates of the card positions, the order they are laid and so on. You can download spreads from our decidated Tarot spreads page, and install them in seconds to make them available from the program's main menu. The following three spreads are supplied with the program and do not need to be downloaded separately:
Celtic Cross
Star
Three Card Spread
- Customisable background: You can use the cards without a background (like in the picture above) or load up a background to use as a kind of "virtual tabletop". You can then customise the colour of this backdrop, and set a background image too.
- Regular and "seeded shuffle": This program lets you optionally type in a name, number, question or phrase as a seed which is used for shuffling the pack.
- Flexible Sort Options and Free Card Selection: Sort the cards in ascending or descending order. Or, if you want to recreate a reading on screen, select just the cards you need.
- Reversed cards: The program has been designed to give your all the features of a physical set of cards (but with the convenience of a point-and-click interface), so it even produces reversed cards - and allows you to determine the frequency with which they appear.
