Video Fortune Teller DVD Reads Tarot?

The Video Fortune Teller DVD uses the random-access capability built into almost every DVD player to serve up "customized" Tarot readings. Pop the disc in your PC, click Enter, and "Madame Munzunicar" will assemble your canned reading from scratch.

Weary of Tarot readings? You can also consult her Crystal Ball readings for "Yes/No" answers, consult her Spirit Board for "Magic 8 Ball"-style commentary ("My sources say no!"), or hone your psychic abilities by guessing which of eight symbol cards Madame Munzunicar will draw.

Prefer to try before you buy? Snag a free sample reading from the web-based version of the same software over on FortuneDiva.com.

Stone Riley's Spirit Hill Tarot

Every year, the perennially inspirational archetypes of Tarot are imagined anew by countless visual artists. Now here’s New England’s Stone Riley, creator of Spirit Hill Tarot (2006, Spirit Hill Studio), who has devised a CD of striking Tarot paintings based on his "New Modern Art" theory.

MacTarot 1.9

Okay, I admit it: when I comes to Tarot software, I'm really picky.

When I work with Tarot software, I want to feel a virtual deck of cards in my hands. I want flexibility. I want lots of spreads (and the ability to use custom spreads on the fly). I want the ability to work with virtual decks -- cards I scan in from my own private library. When it comes time for a reading, I should forget that I'm using software at all.

Especially in its earliest versions, the excellent Orphalese Tarot set the standard for Tarot software ... but it's for Windows only, and, like millions of other people, I've made the move to the Mac. (The Orphalese Tarot is, by the way, the only piece of Windows software I miss at all!)

And so, with high hopes, I downloaded -- and subscribed to -- MacTarot. I started out with version 1.7.5; this week, the programmer released an upgrade to version 1.9. Is this new version of MacTarot the Tarot software of my dreams?
