About Britannia Tarot

Britannia Tarot is built around one thing: you ask a question, a card is drawn, and you get an answer. No spreads to choose, no categories, no setup. The question is the whole interface.

How a reading works

Type or speak whatever you actually want to know. The cards are shuffled and one is turned. You get its name, a short answer, and what the card has to say about the situation you asked about — not a textbook definition of the card, which you can read anywhere, but a reading of your question.

If you want to go further, you can open a longer reading that takes the question, the card, and its traditional meaning together.

Your readings stay

Every reading is kept, with the date, the question, the card and what it said. Over time that becomes a journal — and later readings can notice when a card has come up before, and in answer to what.

Readings you have before making an account live only as long as your browser session. An account is what keeps them.
