About the author

Max Raputum has worked with tarot for more than 20 years and writes all Nightarot materials himself: card meanings, spread breakdowns, zodiac pages and blog articles. He lives in Warsaw, Poland.

The road to tarot

He came to the cards through an interest in symbolism and in time made them his main occupation. The foundation is the classic Rider–Waite deck: its imagery, numerology and the elements of the suits. More than twenty years of practice taught him the main thing: a card does not pass a verdict, it asks a question, and the value of a reading is that a person gets time to think about their situation.

That is why Nightarot texts contain no promises of fate and no grand predictions. Card meanings are described the way a practitioner reads them: with nuance, with the position of the card and the theme of the question in mind: love, work, a yes or no decision.

How the texts are made

Card meanings, articles and spread pages are written by the author. They are checked against the classic symbolism of the Rider–Waite deck, and caveats (tarot does not replace a doctor, lawyer or psychologist) are added to every material.

Artificial intelligence does not write the reference texts. It takes part only in the personal interpretation of your reading: it receives the question, the cards drawn and their meanings from the author's library, and is required to answer the question rather than retell a reference book. The pages about the Moon, Mercury retrograde and eclipses are calculated from astronomical data.
