Oracle Cards and How They Work
Oracle cards and how they work. Not just for fun. Oracle cards are intuitive tools. They provide guidance, clarity, and perspective on our current life issues. This guidance can help ease fear and anxiety and be a support to both our spiritual and emotional wellbeing.
So for more on oracle cards and how they work, read on.
Oracle cards help you to tap into your intuition. They help you to draw out the answers that are already inside you. When interpreting them it is important to trust the way your body feels. Even if something doesn’t make logical sense. What does the voice within you say?
The difference between Oracle cards and Tarot cards
The bigest difference between Oracle and Tarot cards is that Tarot cards have a fixed structure. They use a traditional system where each card in the deck has its unique meaning. Where as oracle cards do not.
A traditional tarot deck contains 78 cards, divided into what’s called the major arcana and the minor arcana.
The cards of the major arcana, numbered 0 through 22, depict specific major life themes. The cards of the minor arcana are divided into four suits, just like playing cards. Each card of the tarot holds an assigned meaning. While the themes and images of a tarot deck can vary deck to deck, its structure will not change.
Oracle cards, on the other hand, do not have a set structure. They can be any number of cards, with any meaning decided by the creator of the deck.
There is a huge variety of oracle decks representing all kinds of energies. The most important thing is to choose a deck that resonates with you.
Using your Intuition
Trust is the most crucial aspect of connecting with your innate intuition. All too often, it’s easy to secondguess yourself or undermine your own perceptions. This is the logical mind at work. But remember: Intuition doesn’t come through the logical mind. The logical mind is, in fact, what’s kept your intuition at bay.
You are the Oracle. The answers are within. Trust in your own capacity to know what is right. When you tune into source you be able to read the signs. Oracles show up to deliver messages in many ways, you may see a billboard or hear a song or even pull a card that will show you the way forward.
By attuning yourself to the signs and messages around you, you will recieve information about your current situation.
Many people think of intuition as a “sixth sense,” but we actually have five intuitive senses.
Clairvoyance: the experience of “seeing” an image or scene in your mind’s eye.
Clairsentience: the experience of “knowing,” feeling, or sensing something.
Clairaudience: the experience of “hearing” a sound, word, or phrase in your mind.
Clairgustance: the experience of “tasting” a certain energy or substance in your mouth.
Clairolfaction: the experience of “smelling” a certain energy or substance in your nose.
You have the ability to tune in to your intuition using all your intuitive senses as above, even
if you think you’ve never experienced them. While some people can tap into all five of these subtle senses, most people have one or two that communicate more strongly than the others.
Asking the right questions
Preparing for a successful card reading also involves preparing the questions to ask. When you’re forming a question (or questions) for your reading, there are certain things to keep in mind in order to ensure you get the most accurate and empowering answers.
Here are three simple tips to keep in mind when you’re working to prepare your card-reading questions.
First, avoid yes/no questions when using the cards. Yes/no questions can be extremely limiting. Phrase questions open-endedly to get a broader sense of the outcome.
Second, be as specific as possible. For instance, if you pose the question “Should I move to a different town?” you might pull cards that are unclear, inexplicit, or contradictory. Instead, be more detailed in your question. Focus on asking what the general outcome will be for each situation rather than a simple “Should I . . .?
Third, avoid asking “When” questions. Timing is very tricky to predict, The future is not fixed, and choices that you make today can influence or alter timings altogether. Instead, rephrase any “When” questions to specify a certain period of time. For example, instead of asking, “When will I meet my soul mate?” a better phrasing would be “What does the coming year look like in regard to my romantic relationships?”
Examples of great questions:
What do I need to know about…?
How can I move my life/current situation forward?
What am I not seeing?
What could trip me up?
What could I learn from the past?
What are my current strengths?
What cycles are impacting on me?
What should I look out for?
What do I need to know to make an informed decision?
Can you give me insight into…?
Oracle Card readings
A card layout, or spread, is the particular way the cards are laid out in a reading. Card spreads can range from one card to any number of cards, these can be set in the cards guide book or by the card reader themselves.
One of the most popular layouts is the three card spread. They offer a balance of depth and
simplicity and they’re also extremely versatile. For example, you might use three cards to inquire about the past, present, and future; the body, mind, and spirit; a current blockage, best course of action, and outcome. The list is really limitless.
How to do a Reading:
While holding the deck in your hands, consider where you could use some guidance right now. (If reading for someone else, just concentrate on the other person as you’re shuffling the cards.)
I like to shuffle until one card sticks out dramatically or even flies out. Others might shuffle until they get a feeling to stop and pick the card on top of the deck at that moment.
If you are inexperienced at reading cards then you can just use the guidebook to gain the answers to your questions.
However professional readers will already be naturally empathic and intuitive. They will be able to tap into spirit or universal energy to give advice and guidence and will not just rely on the cards original guidebook. This will give you a more detailed and personal reading.
