Freeware Esoterica - Tarot & Cartomancy free software downloads

DOWNLOAD	FF = Full Freeware
FreeTarotReading 0.1 and FreeLearnTarot 0.1	FF: 2.94MB: Win9x/ XP: http://www.mysticboard.com (MB Tarot). Note; This is the MysticBoard Forum. FreeTarot Reading: When the program opens you must first enter a question plus some personal details. A new window will open for you to choose a spread from the 8 listed ones. Options are for using the Major or Minor arcana, Manual, or Autocast. Now the main Reading window opens with the cards laid out in your chosen spread and readings for each card. FreeLearnTarot: 2.03MB: Win9x/XP: http://www.mysticboard.com This tarot learning software has a tabbed interface for, My Personal Goal, Settings, Memorize Cards, Take Test, and Results. It opens at 'My Personal Goal' for you to enter/edit your goals, plus goal-starting & goal-ending dates. I had a problem with this as the time span does'nt allow for day-dates in the same calendar month, i.e. If starting on the 2nd Aug. you can't set the end date for, say, the 20th Aug. you have to choose a future month or year. Under the Settings tab you now choose to test yourself for the Major, Minor, or all 78 cards. Optional test levels are for Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced, and the testing/memorizing is optionally by Keyword or Description. Now you're all set up to click the 'Test Me' button. MB tarot software uses the Rider-Waite deck. Downloads are from http://www.soft-album.com When installing either program they will want to access the internet. A refusal will not affect the running of the programs. The forum looks to be an interesting one.
