The deck
About Tarot
A deck of symbols, a question, and whatever you notice.
Tarot has been used in many different ways over hundreds of years: as a card game, a symbolic system, a reflective practice, a creative prompt, a ritual, and a way of exploring questions that do not always have simple answers.
A tarot deck contains 78 cards, each built around images, characters, situations and recurring human themes. People bring different beliefs and traditions to tarot, and Drawn does not ask you to adopt any particular one.
What matters here is what catches your attention.
A card may remind you of a person, a decision, a feeling, a pattern, a possibility, or something you had not quite found words for yet. Use the cards with curiosity.

Reversed cardsOptional, and yours to choose+
Some readers use upside-down cards to explore blocked, inward, delayed or alternative expressions of a card's themes. Others do not use reversals at all. Drawn lets you choose — the switch lives under Me.
There is no single correct way to read a card.
