What Are Oracle Cards?

Oracle cards are a set of beautifully illustrated cards that contain images and symbols, each representing a specific concept, message, or energy. Each deck is unique, designed by different artists, and may have varying themes.

Unlike tarot cards, oracle cards have fewer predefined meanings. This allows for greater flexibility and personal interpretation, making them more accessible to individuals who are new to divination or prefer an intuitive approach.

Choosing the Right Oracle Deck

The first step in reading oracle cards is selecting the right deck that resonates with you. With countless decks available, featuring diverse themes, artwork, and energies, it may seem overwhelming at first. However, trust your intuition and choose a deck that attracts you.

Take your time to research and explore various decks. Look for artwork and themes that resonate with you, as you will be more likely to connect with the cards and receive accurate insights when there is a personal connection.

Whether you prefer angels, animals, nature, astrology, or goddesses, there is a deck out there that will capture your interest and align with your spiritual journey.

Cleansing and Preparing Your Oracle Cards

Once you have chosen your oracle deck, it is important to cleanse and prepare the cards before using them. This step allows you to clear any energy or vibrations that might have been absorbed during manufacturing, packaging, or handling.

There are numerous ways to cleanse your oracle cards, such as smudging with sage or palo santo, placing them under the moonlight, or using cleansing crystals like clear quartz or selenite.

While cleansing, it is also essential to set your intention for the deck. You can do this by holding the cards and expressing your gratitude for the guidance they will provide, ensuring a strong and clear connection between you and the deck.

Preparing Yourself for a Reading

Before conducting a reading, it is crucial to ground and center yourself. Find a quiet and serene space where you can focus without distractions. Take a few deep breaths, allowing your mind and body to relax.

Set your intention for the reading, whether it is gaining clarity on a specific situation, seeking guidance, or simply connecting with your inner wisdom. Visualize this intention clearly, infusing it with positive and loving energy.

If you wish, you can also call upon your guides, angels, or higher self to assist you throughout the reading and help reveal the messages you need to receive.

Shuffling and Drawing Oracle Cards

Now it's time to shuffle the deck. There is no right or wrong way to shuffle; you can use any technique that feels comfortable to you. Let your intuition guide your hands as you shuffle, infusing the deck with your energy.

Once you feel ready, focus on your question or intention for the reading. You can ask an open-ended question or ask for guidance regarding a specific area of your life.

When you're ready, draw a card from the deck. The card you select is not random; your higher self, guides, and spiritual energies are guiding you towards the message you most need to receive at this moment.

Interpreting Oracle Cards

Each oracle card has its own unique energy and message. The meanings can vary depending on the deck and the context of your question. It is crucial to trust your intuition and allow your innate wisdom to interpret the cards' messages.

Observe the image, symbols, and colors on the card. How do they make you feel? What emotions, thoughts, or memories do they evoke? Pay attention to any immediate feelings, words, or phrases that come to mind as you study the card.

Begin by reading the accompanying guidebook for the deck, but remember that the interpretations provided are just suggestions. Tap into your intuition and allow the cards to speak to you in a way that is unique to your personal journey.

Creating Your Own Rituals

As you immerse yourself deeper into the world of oracle cards, you may find it helpful to develop your own rituals and practices. These can include setting the mood with candles or incense, creating a sacred space, or even incorporating meditation and journaling into your readings.

Remember that there is no right or wrong way to read oracle cards. What matters most is the connection you establish with the cards and the messages they bring forth. Let your intuition guide you and trust in the process.

Reading oracle cards is a powerful practice that can help you gain profound insights, guidance, and clarity in your life. As with any intuitive practice, it takes time, practice, and trust to develop a strong connection with the cards and your own intuition.

By selecting a deck that resonates with you, cleansing and preparing the cards, grounding yourself before a reading, and trusting your intuition while interpreting the messages, you can unlock the transformative power of oracle cards and embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Remember, oracle cards are simply tools for connecting with the divine wisdom within you. Embrace the process, go with the flow, and allow these beautiful cards to open the doors to a world of powerful insights.

Praise for the book:
'This book is an easy to use, yet deep guide to using Oracle cards as a self-help tool in everyday life. Kirsten shares her learning from 25 years of working with Oracle cards, but where this book differs from, and improves upon, others I have read on this subject is in teaching us how to fully connect with our intuitive self to enhance our understanding of the cards, something which has grown out of her work as an Energist. Kirsten illustrates her teachings with examples from her own experiences and sets practical exercises for the reader in each section. She also shares different types of card spreads to try, both when doing readings for yourself and for others, as well as hints, tips and useful links. An inspiring and exciting book that provides practical and easily followed guidance on how to better understand ourselves and others using the popular and accessible divination tool of Oracle cards.'

'Please read through Kirsten's new book, it does work I promise. You must be patient, it takes time, but when it starts to work you'll begin to wonder how you existed without it. Trusting that the Universe holds the Master Plan is comforting. The only thing you must do, is Be Kind, Be Honest, Be a Flower, not a weed & your life starts to unfold gently before your very eyes.....'
