A json dataset of tarot cards, and corresponding scans of the RWS deck.

tarot-images.json includes references to the scans, tarot.json does not.

If you just want the scans for the cards, they're available as a release.

The cards are acquired from data.totl.net via wget:

$ wget -r -np -nH --cut-dirs=3 -R index.html* -R *r.jpg -R *h.jpg http://data.totl.net/tarot-rwcs-images/

This command excludes cards in horizontal, reversed, and horizontal reversed positions.

The cards are all 350x600px, and are 7.37MB total.

The Rider-Waite-Smith deck is public domain in the US, but not currently in the EU.
