Tarot Card Oracle helps you publish interactive readings on your WordPress site using your own deck artwork, your own spreads, and your own interpretations.
If a card needs a different meaning depending on where it lands in a spread, you can do that. Define a unique interpretation for each card in each position.
Ideal for * Tarot readers and professional practitioners * Oracle deck creators and writers * Coaches and creators who want interactive content * Rune and cartouche style readings
What visitors can do * Draw cards for a full spread reading * Draw a daily card * Draw a random card * Optionally type a question before drawing * Shuffle the deck with a realistic animation before selecting cards
What you can build in WordPress admin * Readings (spreads) * Positions for each reading * Cards with your own images and text * Descriptions that connect one card, one position, and one reading
Premium features * Validation wizard to spot missing links and configuration problems * Payment enabled readings * Email list and marketing integrations, including ActiveCampaign, MailChimp, and Brevo * Additional layouts and display options
Free version note Older reviews may mention limits from earlier versions. Those limits were removed in version 1.0.0. If you need payments, integrations, or validation tools, Premium is the right fit.

How to
Tarot Card Oracle is built from four core parts 1. Readings, the spread definitions 2. Positions, the slots inside a reading 3. Cards, your deck 4. Descriptions, the meaning of one card in one position for one reading
If something feels missing on the front end, check this order * Positions are assigned to the Reading * Cards are assigned to the Reading * Descriptions are linked to both a Card and a Position
Admin menus * Dashboard, overview and embed tools * Readings, define spreads * Positions, define and assign positions * Cards, define cards and assign to readings * Descriptions, define meanings per card and per position * Demo Data, install sample reading and sample media * Wizard, create a reading framework quickly * Status, system info and recent logs * Orders (Premium), payment enabled reading orders * Validation (Premium), find and fix configuration gaps
