This Widget does Tarot readings. It can do 10 different card spreads and uses images from the Rider-Waite Deck. Card descriptions written by Tricia M. Smith.

Jason:
I think your program is excellent, especially since I already know what the cards mean even without the tooltips. I only meant to play with it for a moment, but when I looked at the clock, an hour had passed! It was fun. I admit I was skeptical at first because I believe touching the cards is a necessary part of any reading. But my readings were amazingly accurate, even without it.
My two cents: I think this widget would be a lot more realistic if the user could deal his/her own cards; …maybe click the deck and have each card pop into the right position for the layout, and in the order in which each was intended to be read. I'd love to be able to click on the card to see a larger version of it, and it might also be nice to click on a card and have a nice, big scrolling popup window come up with a more detailed description that stays until you close the box. If you can't solve the Windows glitches, the scrolling popup window would be a great workaround.

Hi Jason,
Your amazing analysis, data structure and creativity with the database for the tarot reading has really is 5 star!!! Thou you only have max of four star here :)
I tried to play with Windows XP, I got the same encounter with the rest of XP user, such as Reverse Cards does not show any Informations, tiny cards which is hard to see the type of card drawned. And speaking of drawing of cards.... I suggest it should be done by the end user, rather than automated distribution of selected ca…rds on the deck. And also the shuffling & cutting the cards, we missed this part. Is there any guideline which card I would click first? In actual tarot reading they have sequence of cards to read but this one, I have notice that I can open and read any cards on the deck without any order.
