[edit] TarotBot open source Android tarot reader
[edit] Description
TarotBot is an open source framework for tarot readings on Android devices with switchable card decks and interpretations.
There is also a novel interface for conducting readings the goal being to only draw from the physical artifacts (the deck of cards) those attributes which are meaningful to the reading: imagery, interpretations, and context. The traditional shuffling, dealing, and arranging of the cards is removed from the process providing a much more streamlined reading experience.
Primary research sources include:
The Oracle of the Tarot by Paul Foster Case
Tarot Plain and Simple by Anthony Louis
Learning the Tarot by Joan Bunning
Sex Magic, Tantra, and Tarot by Christopher Hyatt
