Tarot reading is a practice that uses a deck of 78 cards to gain insight into the past, present, and future. Each card has symbolic meanings that help guide self-reflection and personal growth. Our platform makes it easy to learn and practice tarot interpretation.

CharmCast currently supports single-card, two-card, three-card, and photo-based readings. Each format is useful for a different level of depth and context.
A single-card draw works best for quick clarity, yes or no direction, or a short daily reflection when you do not need a full spread.
A two-card spread is useful when you want to compare two forces, two choices, or a situation and the best response to it.
A three-card spread is a good default when you want more narrative structure, such as past-present-future or challenge-action-outcome.
