SPIRITUALITY + HEALING + CREATIVITY
My Love Affair with Oracle Cards
And why I use them every. single. day.
“Oracle Cards? You mean Tarot?”
That’s the most common response I get when I talk about Oracle cards. It makes sense as Tarot has been around since the 18th Century. It’s a well-established system that is often slightly adapted/modified/tweaked to an author’s perspective and interpretations of the original artwork and descriptions. Nearly every Tarot deck (with some exceptions) has 78 cards.
Oracle Cards are a different thing altogether. Here’s the most important differentiator between Tarot and Oracle Cards.
There are no rules to Oracle Cards.
That’s the beauty of them. They don’t have any restrictions or limitations. Everything is through the lens of the author and/or artist producing the deck. That means that there’s a lot of varying decks out there. And as Oracle Cards have gone “mainstream” and become more popular, so has the number of creators. I spoke with a local Barnes and Noble employee who said that they were selling out of cards so fast, they had a hard time restocking them. (To be fair, I probably was the cause of that issue for a good 6–8 weeks).
