The ritual
How it works
Four moments, at your own pace. No rush, no ready-made answers.
I
Ask
Tell the oracle what is on your mind: a doubt, a wish, a crossroads.
II
Choose your crystal
Three crystals appear for each reading. Follow your intuition: each one awakens a different deck.
III
Shuffle and cut
Your hands guide the deck. The oracle lays out a Celtic Cross, the classic ten-card spread.
IV
Receive your reading
Reveal card by card and receive an interpretation written for your question.
About
A ritual, not an app.
Tarophia brings the tarot tradition into an unhurried digital experience: candlelight, silence, and attention to what you ask.
The cards are Pamela Colman Smith's original 1909 illustrations. The interpretation is written by artificial intelligence from the traditional meanings and your question.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know tarot?
No. The oracle guides every step, and each revealed card shows what it means in the position where it fell.
Is the reading written by AI?
Yes. The interpretation is written by an artificial intelligence model from the cards' traditional meanings, the positions of the Celtic Cross and your question. Yes or No uses no AI: the answer comes from the card you choose and from what the oracle has written about it.
Are my questions saved?
They stay in your account, and only you can see them. You can delete them whenever you like in “My readings”.
Can I redo a reading?
You can start a new reading whenever you like. The cards that came up are part of the answer, so a reading you've received doesn't change. The first part of one reading a month is free.
Where do the cards come from?
They are Pamela Colman Smith's original illustrations for the Rider-Waite-Smith tarot, published in 1909 and now in the public domain.
Why choose a crystal?
Because the crystal chooses you back. Three stones appear without names: touch the one that answers, by intuition. Only then does the oracle say which it is. The crystal sets the tone of the reading (intuition, love, protection…) and lights the medallion on the back of your cards.
Does the reading predict the future?
Tarot shows tendencies and possible paths, not a fixed fate. Use the reading as a mirror to reflect; the decisions remain yours.
What if my question is about something hard?
Tarophia is a space for reflection and does not replace medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please reach out now to local emergency services or a crisis line.
