readings</h2>
<p>The question for me (Irmak) at the beginning was why people feel the
need to know the future or their oracles that they go on YouTube and
subscribe to a channel there. Knowing the future made me anxious when
for many people it is something to look forward to or head towards. For
Ada, the answer to that question was simple. Everyone needs some clarity
and a sense of belonging and safety, and its better and easier to
believe when told by someone else. The problem we were facing was then
about, how can a performance so intimate and personal be transferred
online for thousands to see. Doesnt that strip the whole act of the
tarot reading of its authenticity or specificity to you? Once you have
someone read your tarot online, you are exposed to advertisement and
capitalism</p>

<p>in a very ironic sense. The sole reason you are there is to have a
peaceful and perhaps sentimental moment with yourself, however, you are
interrupted by unintended messages.</p>
<p>Moving from these discussions, we searched for the answers in the
comments below certain tarot videos. Many commenters mentioned how their
life changed after the reading, how their luck came back and their work
life improved, or how the reading helped them get their life straight.
This was a community that needed tarot and used it as a remedy. In the
end, we decided to use some of these comments as the interpretation of
some cards. The main themes in the comments were luck, love and work. We
picked three comments for each theme and made tarot cards for them with
a divination board. We modified the illustrations on existing tarot
cards and renamed them according to the commenters names.</p>
