.
  Custom Card Meanings/ Position Meanings:
Create and Save any amount of custom meanings.
The default file with card interpretations is very basic as it is intended that users will refine & develope their own meanings, and/or use different meanings for different purposes or Castings, therefore a template file is included for you to Create & Save as many 'meaning' files as you wish - depending on your disk space - and edit / alter card definitions as you see fit. The 'Divination Only' spreads allow for editing the Position meanings.
.
  Print/Save:
Print all Spellcasts and Divination Spreads.
Printouts of Spellcast and Divination Spreads include all graphics (Cards - Spell motifs etc.) and custom Card meanings and Position meanings. Also, printout of card 'meaning' files that you have saved to disk so you can keep a record of them.
.
  Card Decks:
Use alternate Decks. The program includes two (default) Card Decks.
A future update will include a facility for installing & using Custom made Decks.
This update will depend on users response ...

For the present, if you want to create your own deck(s), please see downloads for
using the TemplateCards.zip.
