I have many many tarot decks and have done them on programs and online as well. I love doing them myself just for the tactile aspect but really, when you are doing them yourself you read the descriptions in the book before you know the meanings and the same is true for the program on the computer, there really isn't a difference there. Once you get the meanings into your head you'll start interpreting them your own way on the computer just like you would in a regular deck.

Thanks for the answer guys. Do you know any other software? Aside from the one already available on Mystic Board? and can i just use , say excel, for randomizing the list and see cards, will that be enough?

I can't really recommend a good Tarot program, but I can warn you of one that's not so good... I recently bought a program called "Tarot Magic" and paid $49.99 (the so-called sale price) for it, not including the $9.something for shipping & handling. I've not felt this 'ripped' in years! The program, in my personal opinion, is childish and cartoonish in nature and has the feel of playing a game~ and if I remember right, I got an earlier version years back for free, just had to pay the S&H. It's ok, just not $49.99 worth of ok... maybe $9.99 ... pushing ... $19.99.

I said I couldn't really recommend a program, but I will say that I've been trying the Orphalese Tarot software program that someone already mentioned to you... and so far, it out does the program mentioned above and at only half the price. You also have the "try before you buy'" option! And I must add, it feels like the programmers are as serious about the Tarot as I am.

As for how well any electronic Tarot program would work... I don't have much faith in the accuracy that any of them could have since PCs are not able to use intuition... at least not yet,

which is a big factor in a reading. However, they are great for learning the cards, the basics and for practice.

Hi

I have used real Cards and for me there allways was something missing, dont know why i never had so much space to lay them out properly and that was allways a bit cluttered, so im looking forward to using electronic ones, i think its just more practical then real ones.
