About Pick Three Cards

Pick Three Cards is an independent tarot site. We believe tarot is most useful as a tool for reflection: a set of 78 images that help you slow down, ask better questions and notice what you already feel.

How we write

Every card meaning on this site is written for this site. We draw on the long tradition of the Rider–Waite–Smith deck and the symbolism Pamela Colman Smith painted into it, and we explain it in plain, modern English. Our content is drafted with the help of AI tools and then edited by the Pick Three Cards team. We review and update pages over time as we learn more and as readers send feedback. If you spot an error or something that doesn't read right, please tell us and we'll fix it.

The artwork

The card images are scans of the original 1909 Rider–Waite–Smith deck, illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith (1878–1951). These images are in the public domain. Our social images and card back are original designs.

How the site is funded

The site is free. We may show ads on informational pages, and some pages recommend paid services through affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
