About Selendora

Selendora brings the classic tarot to anyone who wants a moment of reflection. We believe the cards are a mirror: they help you look at your situation from a different angle, so you can make your own choices with more clarity.

Our readings are written by our tarot AI, set up especially for tarot. It knows the traditional meanings of all 78 cards and relates them to your question and the positions in your spread. It is instructed to be kind, honest and careful: it does not predict illness or misfortune, gives no professional advice and points to real help when someone is struggling.

We use the tarot illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith and published in 1909. Her images are the foundation of almost every modern deck and are now in the public domain, so everyone can enjoy them. You can also read with three historic Tarot de Marseille decks, or with Soimoi: a modern deck by Mike Koz, shared under a CC BY 4.0 licence.

Safety comes first. Before a question reaches the AI, we check it for signs of crisis and show helplines instead of a reading when someone may need help. The reader is instructed never to predict illness, death or misfortune, never to give medical, legal or financial advice, never to push big decisions and never to urge anyone to buy more readings. Readings are always labelled as written by AI.
