Quick Note: The question that you type stays in the reading's link. Anyone you send it to can see it.

Choose a spread

One card 1 card One card, for one question. The whole pack is shuffled and the top card taken. What this spread asks
Past, present, future 3 cards Three cards for the shape of a thing over time: where it came from, where it stands, and where it is heading. What this spread asks
The horseshoe 7 cards Seven cards in an arc, from what is past on the left to the outcome on the right, with the querent and those around them in the middle. What this spread asks
The Celtic Cross 10 cards Ten cards for a definite question: six form a cross around the matter, while four rise at the right to show the querent's place in it and where it leads. What this spread asks
The Tree of Life 10 cards One card rests on each sephirah. Read from Kether to Malkuth, the spread follows the descent of emanation; read as a whole, it lets every sphere speak to the question. What this spread asks

Which deck

Rider–Waite–Smith
Thoth no images

Turn packets while shuffling, so some cards come out reversed

What happens to what you type

The question and cards are kept in the address itself, not stored on the server. That makes the reading easy to keep or share, but the link also reveals the question to whoever receives it.

How it shuffles

10 riffle shuffles, 3 cuts and 2 turns of a packet, from SecureRandom, the operating system's cryptographic source., modelled on riffling a physical pack rather than on a random number per card. Bayer and Diaconis put the number of riffles a deck needs at about one-and-a-half times the base-two logarithm of its size, which is seven for fifty-two cards and ten for the tarot's seventy-eight.
