Daily Tarot Card Draw

This is a dataset of random numbers generated for daily tarot card draws, originally designed for an applet on Tidbyt.

Each number represents an index of potential cards for every tarot card (i.e., 0-77) or just cards from the Major Arcana (i.e., 0-21).

Cards are drawn from two arrays. One array contains integers 0-77 to capture all cards, and another array contains integers 0-21 to capture just the Major Arcana. Each array is shuffled independently via Make twice: once to generate a shuffled array for a "single" card draw, and again to generate an array for a three-card "spread." This allows for the card pulled for a "single" draw to also be present, by chance, within the "spread" draw.

New card draws are pushed here every day at 03:00 America/New_York time.

Files

• draws.json: A JSON containing single and spread draws across all cards or Major Arcana only; also includes a last updated timestamp
• card_names.csv: A CSV list of tarot cards and their index values (e.g., if the number drawn is 34, the card is Page of Cups)
• card_names_array.txt: A TXT file of the card names in an array format, maintaining the same order as the CSV; useful for copying into code

Magic

Just for the fun of it... ⬇️

• Cards are drawn daily at 11:11 America/New_York time before being pushed here at 03:00

• After shuffling the tarot decks, cards are drawn as follows:

  • Single card draws: The 3rd card is drawn
  • Three-card spread draws: The 7th, 10th, and 12th cards are drawn (in that order)
