# Tarot

An implementation of the tarot as given by Ra
in [The Law of One](https://www.lawofone.info).
It's a very basic tool for learning the 22 archetypes of the Major Arcana.

It can draw a card at random, and show all cards related to it.
Since it does give additional detail -
one could ask for a card by name or number.

### [A Tabular Aid](https://www.lawofone.info/images)

There is also an option to show a table of all cards
organized into Mind/Body/Spirit complex columns
and the 8 classification categories for rows.
This format makes the triples and pairs easy to spot
as one learns the material.

What follows is a representation of such an aid,
possibly just a placeholder of a future app screenshot.

## How

[Urbit](https://urbit.org/) would be needed to run this.

It started as a [Hoon School](https://hooniversity.org) final exercise.

So far it's just a generator, which I plan to turn into a Landscape app,
after [learning all of this](https://github.com/timlucmiptev/gall-guide) too.

## Use

The command below, entered in a dojo, generates an overview cheat-sheet.
This is the big picture, usually enough to jog one's memory with.

```
> +tarot, =o %all
~[
[%all "| Mind | Body | Spirit |"]
[%all "| |"]
[%all "| Matrix | Magician | Strength | Devil |"]
[%all "| Potentiator | High Priestess | Hermit | Tower |"]
[%all "| Catalyst | Empress | Wheel of Fortune | Star |"]
[%all "| Experience | Emperor | Justice | Moon |"]
[%all "| Significator | Hierophant | Hanged Man | Sun |"]
[%all "| Choice Pairs |"]
[%all "| Transformation | Lovers | Death | Judgement |"]
[%all "| Great Way | Chariot | Temperance | World |"]
[%all "| The Choice | Choice |"]
]
```

Here is a default example - I just called `+tarot` to get a random card:

```
~[
[%upon "| = Archetype | @ Mind | Body | Spirit |"]
[%upon "| |"]
[%upon "| Catalyst | : Empress |"]
[%upon "| Experience > | = Emperor | Justice | Moon |"]
[%upon "| # 4 |"]
]
```

Above I got the Emperor archetype. It is card #4, of the Mind complex,
which together with Justice for Body and Moon for Spirit represents Experience.
It also pairs with the Empress Catalyst.

To get a specific card, for example the Sun, one could ask for it by name
`+tarot, =name "sun"` or number `+tarot, =a 19`:

```
~[
[%upon "| = Archetype | Mind | Body | @ Spirit |"]
[%upon "| |"]
[%upon "| # 19 |"]
[%upon "| Significator > | Hierophant | Hanged Man | = Sun |"]
[%upon "| The Choice : Choice |"]
]
```
