About @tarojibot

The Tarot Emoji Bot is a Twitter bot that does tarot readings using emojis. Just tweet at @tarojibot with a request, and it will reply with your personal tarot reading!

This bot was made by Joakim Almgren, based on the Glitch app "Twitterbot Webhooks" by Stefan Bohacek.

What it can do

Here's a list of requests you can tweet to @tarojibot. Look below for a glossary explaining which emoji is which tarot card.

  • Draw a card

    Tweet "@tarojibot draw a card", and the bot will draw a single card and show it to you.

  • Three cards

    Tweet "@tarojibot three cards" if you want the bot to give you a three card spread.

  • Explain

    Tweet "@tarojibot explain" in reply to a reading, and Taroji will tweet a link to you with the meaning of each card.

  • Celtic cross

    Tweet "@tarojibot celtic cross" for a complete Celtic cross reading. Since you can't put emojis on top of each other, the layout looks something like this:

Note that there's some wiggle room in how you phrase your request. Feel free to experiment!

What it means

Here's a list explaining which emojis stand for which tarot card. The emoji links to Emojipedia, so you can see what it looks like on different platforms. The card names link to a description of that card.

Privacy

Tarojibot doesn't store any user information, it just reacts to your tweets and responds. On the "explain" page, relevant tweets are embedded by fetching data from Twitter on demand. The only persistent data is knowledge of tarot.

You can check for yourself by looking at the code.
