Our Tarot Software contains several spreads of the Waite-Rider Tarot:
Our program works with some spreads of the Waite-Rider Tarot:
1) The spread "Cross" is suitable particularly for simpler questions.
2) "The Relationship game" is meant particularly for the interpretation of the relationship between two people.
3) One can use the "Deciding match" as a small help in the cases of doubt.
4) "The Gypsy Oracle" has a marked playful character. Its statement value is in this case in the background.
5) "The Celtic cross" is the best known game in the Tarot at all. This game is specially suitable for the determination of development of the trends.
In the two spreads ("The relationship game" and "The Celtic cross") the reverse cards are used played. But the meanings are not automatically "reversed", but rather routed into a certain direction!
In all games, except the "Cross", it is determined the so-called "Quintessence", which gives an indication on how to deal with the subject of the asked question. The numbers of the cards are summed up for this purpose and then reduced for so long by formation of check-sums until a number reaches a value between 1 and 22. All cards of the Large Arkana have in this case their shown numerical values. The fool is evaluated with zero during the addition, but in the case of the result 22, the fool is the quintessence. Aces count 1, the court cards (pages, knights, queens and kings) count nothing.
