Frequently Asked Questions
- What is ArcanaPath?
- ArcanaPath is a tarot education platform. We publish structured card meanings for the full deck, offer a free 3-card reading tool for practice, and run a spaced-repetition study app for learning tarot properly. Education and self-reflection — not fortune-telling.
- Is ArcanaPath free?
- Yes. The card library, the 3-card reading tool, and the 14-day email course are free, and the study app has a free plan covering the Major Arcana. Premium ($9/month) unlocks all 78 cards, unlimited reviews, and the AI tutor.
- Do you offer personal tarot readings?
- No — and that's deliberate. ArcanaPath teaches tarot as a symbolic system so you can read for yourself. We don't sell readings, predictions, or psychic services of any kind.
- Does tarot predict the future?
- We don't treat it that way. On ArcanaPath, tarot is read as a structured set of symbols that helps you reflect on your situation from new angles — closer to journaling prompts or literature than to prophecy. Nothing on this site is medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice.
- How does the free 3-card reading work?
- The tool draws three cards from our library — past, present, and future — with real meanings, keywords, and a reflective question for each position. The draw happens entirely in your browser: we don't see, store, or transmit your cards.
- Is my reading stored anywhere?
- No. The shuffle and draw run locally in your browser. Nothing about your reading is sent to our servers.
- How are the card meanings written?
- Every card follows the same editorial framework — upright and reversed meanings, six life-area contexts, symbolism, and reflective questions — written and reviewed by the ArcanaPath editorial team and revised over time. Each page shows its last-updated date, and we welcome corrections at hello@arcanapath.net.
- What does the study app include?
- Spaced-repetition reviews scheduled by FSRS, four quiz modes, a study journal, and an AI tutor for practice readings and study plans. The free plan covers the 22 Major Arcana; Premium opens the full 78-card deck with unlimited reviews.
