This is a method for Pick 3 with Tarot cards. You will need the 22 major arcana cards from a Rider-Waite deck or similar. They should be numbered 0 to 21, or 1 to 22. Find a clean space with good lighting that is free of negative energies. Recite a short blessing over your deck and shuffle the cards.
- Begin by dealing a row of three cards face up, and do not rotate the reversed (upside down) cards. Add the numbers on the cards and take the last digit of the sum. This is the first digit of your pick 3 number.
- If most of the cards in the top row are reversed, deal five cards face up for the second row. Otherwise, deal three cards. Add the numbers on the cards in the second row and take the last digit of the sum. This is the second digit of your pick 3 number.
- If most of the cards in the second row are reversed, deal five cards face up for the third row. Otherwise, deal three cards. Add the numbers on the cards in the third row and take the last digit of the sum. This is the last digit of your pick 3 number.
You can adapt this method for pick 4 and other games. You may wish to use mirrored digits instead when the row has a majority of reversed cards.
The presence of both the Fool and Wheel of Fortune cards in your layout is a good sign, especially if the fool is reversed.
