Select a deck and a spread from the dropdowns, then click a date in the calendar to create an entry. You can create one reading entry per day (mostly because that's how the calendar plugin works for now).

The page that loads will be a prefilled dokuwiki template, which you can complete and then publish to your notebook.

The page will look something like this:

======  ======
===== Summary =====
<div readingbox #singlebox>
---- dataentry tarotreading ----
reading_dts: 2022-01-26
deck_deck: spiritsong
spread_spread: horseshoe
----
</div>

{{template>tarot:spreads:horseshoe#spread
| deck = spiritsong
| one = 
| onen = 
| two = 
| twon = 
...
}}

At the top of the page, fill in the title of your reading between the ====== markup. Under the {{template>tarot:spreads… line are a series of keys such as one and onen, two and twon, etc. The first key (a number word) is the card itself; the second key (a number word followed by the letter “n”) is your notes on that card. This is what appears when you hover over a card when referencing old readings.

The card identifier follows a simple nomenclature:

• The Fool identifier is 0
• Majors are identified by lower case Roman numerals, e.g. ii for The High Priestess, xxi for The World, etc.
• Minors are identified by a letter representing the suit, and a number from 1-14 (Ace-King).
  • Regardless of a particular deck's suit names, use the standard Smith-Waite suits, e.g. p3 for the Three of Pentacles, c13 for the Queen of Cups, etc.
• To use extra trumps, continue with the Roman numerals after xxi (The World). Some decks have additional sets of cards (such as Pagan Otherworlds Tarotplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigPagan Otherworlds Tarot
  
  Deck Notes
  
  This deck and book were my 2021 Christmas gift. I asked for it after seeing the gorgeous major arcana cards posted in reviews online, and it did not disappoint - mostly. The numbered cards in the minor suits are light on imagery, but there is still symbolism found in each card. This deck mostly follows the Smith-Waite rubric. The book is pretty good, but the descriptions could definitely be more detailed.; you can check the card name by looking at the URL of the image on a deck's review page.

You can remove all the keys from this section beyond the last card in your spread - the template includes one hundred cards, just in case you have a really, really big spread.
