How to photograph your spread
A tarot reading from a photo is an interpretation of cards you laid out from your own deck. You send a picture, Oracul recognizes up to 10 cards, spots the reversed ones, and explains what they mean together and in the context of your question. Recognition is free.
For accurate recognition you need even light without glare, with every card fully in the frame and not overlapping. Decks in the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition are recognized best; if a card is drawn differently, you can pick it manually.
If your photo shows three cards, you can choose a classic layout such as past, present and future. For any other number of cards there is a free spread, where the cards are read as one story.
