BesTarot: online tarot study and reading platform

Quick answer

BesTarot offers an encyclopedia of all 78 Waite-Smith tarot cards, classic spreads you can draw online and keep a record of, plus introductory entries on Western esoterica and Eastern divination arts. Everything here is for study and self-reflection, not a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.

Where to start

Begin with the keywords and upright/reversed meanings of all 78 cards, and learn to tell the Major Arcana apart from the four Minor suits — Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles. Then practise asking, drawing and recording with a three-card spread such as the Holy Triangle.

What the platform includes

A card encyclopedia, online spread readings, Academy courses, Western esoteric entries such as Lenormand and Runes, Eastern entries such as Xiaoliuren and Liuyao, and reading records you can revisit.

Where the boundaries are

Tarot is good for organising a question and finding new angles on it; it does not produce certainty. For health, legal, investment or personal-safety questions, consult a qualified professional.
