A reading by candlelight
The Mystic's Table
A tarot reading you can talk to. Ask your question, draw your cards, and an old reader across the table talks them through with you: she asks you back, listens, and answers.
Your first reading is free · no sign-up
How a reading goes
- I
Ask
Tell her what is on your mind: love, work, money, a choice you keep putting off. Pick a question or write your own.
- II
Draw
Shuffle, then choose your own cards from the fan, face down. Three cards for one question, or all ten of the Celtic Cross.
- III
Talk it through
She turns them one by one and reads them for your question. Interrupt, ask why, ask what to do next. She stops and listens.
Not a list of card meanings
Most tarot sites hand you a paragraph per card. She reads the way a seasoned reader does.
She asks you back
A card can mean many things. She asks what it touches in your life before she says what it means for you.
She reads the cards together
The Tower before the Star is a different story from the Star before the Tower. She says how your cards speak to each other.
She remembers you
Sign in and she recalls what came up in your last readings, so you can pick up where you left off.
She speaks your language
English, 繁體中文, 简体中文 and 日本語. Write to her in any of them; she answers in the one you chose.
A taste of a reading
Should I take the new job, or stay where I am?
Your first card is the Tower, upright. Something you built is already cracking, dearie. Tell me: is it the job that feels shaky, or how you feel about it?
How I feel. I stopped caring about a year ago.
Then the Tower is not a warning, it is a door. Let us see what waits on the other side of it. Turn the next card.
Two ways to sit
Three cards
Past, present and what is coming, laid out for one question.
The Celtic Cross
All ten cards, for the questions that have many sides.
Your first reading costs nothing and needs no account. Sign up and she puts ✦120 on the table for you, enough for twelve more three-card readings.
What does your card mean?
All 78 cards, upright and reversed, in love, work and money.

Questions
Is it free?
Your first reading is free, with no sign-up. A free account comes with ✦120 credits: a three-card reading uses ✦10 and the Celtic Cross ✦30. Asking her questions during a reading is always free.
Who reads my cards?
Your reader is a character we created, with the manner of an old fortune teller. The cards are shuffled and drawn at random, and you pick them yourself; she reads what you drew, for your question.
Can tarot tell my future?
Treat it as a mirror, not a prophecy. A reading is a way to look at your situation from a new angle and decide what you want to do. It is for reflection and entertainment, not medical, legal or financial advice.
Is what I tell her private?
What you tell her is never shown to other people. We keep the words of readings to make her a better reader, and if you sign in, your past readings are saved to your account so she can remember them.
Does it work on my phone and in WeChat?
Yes. The table is made for phones first, works in WeChat's browser, and needs no app.
The candle is lit.
Bring a question. She has been expecting you. She says that to everyone.
