why read oracle cards?

Oracle decks offer you inspiration to connect with your own inner oracle—the deepest part of you that has all the answers to what needs to be known.

 

Oracle cards, just like tarot, are a tool for self-reflection that can offer us an unbiased mirror of our reality. The cards will always respond to the energy of the topic or situation we are enquiring about or to the energy of our overall life and psyche. They can offer a clear reflection about anything and everything, helping us to bypass the thinking mind and the linear solutions offered by it. They help us to see what we are not seeing—or are refusing to see. Everyone has blind spots and oracle cards can offer such a straight-forward way to figure them out.

 

So, how does it work? Well,—it just does. There’s a universal force called synchronicity, and this is the energy that works through the cards and every other tool that is used for interpreting energies. They will always, synchronistically, reflect the energy of the topic we are enquiring about. They can’t go wrong, yet it helps to set clear questions, topics, and intentions when we pull cards, so that the answers reflect the energy as accurately as possible and are easy to interpret. If the question is sloppy, the answer is also sloppy.

 

Working with oracle and tarot cards is an artform of its own. It’s closely linked to storytelling, archetypes, and psychology. Our subconscious talks to us through symbols, and through practice we can become very good at interpreting the symbolic language of the Universe. Signs are everywhere. They can be read in clouds, the tracks of animals, stars, tea leaves... you name it. The Universe is constantly sending us signs. Everything that exists within us is being mirrored back in a myriad of ways in our outer reality, as the microcosm is always reflecting the macrocosm and vice-versa. The signs and synchronicities are everywhere; it just takes eyes to see and ears to hear—aka someone trained in listening to the language of their own soul. Tarot and oracle are simply tools to channel this symbolic sign language of the Universe.

 

An oracle deck can be a beautiful tool to work with specific frequencies and to integrate them over time. It is a companion for life and can support us so much in healing inner conflicts and in learning to get to know ourselves in ever-deepening ways, as well as strengthening the connection to our intuitions and souls. Everyone is innately intuitive, but our unique psychic senses can manifest in a myriad of ways. If you are drawn to oracle cards, your subconscious knows the cards have something to offer to you. They can initiate you deeper into your own psychic skills and just bring daily comfort and reassurance as you navigate through life.

 

Each deck has a spirit of its own. It’s fascinating how different frequencies in each different deck can be introduced into your life. This tool is absolutely beyond magical. Through symbols and images, it talks to the subconscious part of your mind, and through words of the guidebook, you can get an overview of the energies in a way that your logical brain can easily access. 

 

There are so many decks out there, so there’s something for everyone and their needs. Trust your intuition when you are picking a deck. Choose one that talks to your soul, and trust the inexplicable feeling when you are drawn to something, even if you don’t understand why. Your intuition knows the right tools and decks to help you work through whatever things you are in the process of healing and understanding in this moment.

 

When you work with a deck, trust it, its consciousness, and how it interacts and co-creates with yours. It’s always about co-creation. The cards don’t work independently from the reader. It’s always a merge between two or more consciousnesses (for example, of the deck, the reader, and the person who’s being read for) and the magical, synchronistic flow that takes place between them. Thus, one reader can read the same cards very differently from another reader. There are no laws within this intuitive landscape of the soul and subconscious mind.

 

Reading cards should never be taken too seriously. Rather, it helps if you keep a playful, curious, and experimental attitude toward it. Oracle cards are for inspiration and insights, but they should never rule out your own intuition. As said, the process is all about your consciousness working with the consciousness of the deck, through a synchronistic co-creation. Reading cards is not a literal process but a symbolic and intuitive one. So you are free to use the cards in any way that inspires you and brings you joy! There’s no right or wrong way to do it. It’s about what works best for YOU. You can make up your own way to work with this magical tool.
