Put simply, both Oracle and tarot cards are tools that help you receive intuitive information. <\/strong>When messages are received from the cards, our intuition, or \u201cinner-knowing,\u201d helps interpret them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Desiree Lanz, a medium, channeler, and intuitive reader based in Los Angeles expertly explained the primary use of oracle and tarot cards in her interview with Well and Good: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2018Our intuition interprets the messages and images we receive from the\ncards, determining which parts are relevant to us, whether the messages are\nmetaphorical or literal, and what area of life they are referring to. [Pulling\ncards] is like giving our intuition a really wide vocabulary with which to express\nitself.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n So,\nin short, oracle and tarot cards allow us to receive and interpret messages\nabout ourselves, our lives, our relationships, and even the world around us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We can break it down even more than this, though; although both oracle and tarot cards have the same broad, general purpose, the two can have a lot of other differences. Let\u2019s take a look at the specifics of oracle cards and tarot cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples of Different Tarot Card Decks<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples of Different Oracle Card Decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You read in our introduction that oracle cards\nare generally easier to use and interpret than tarot cards, and that oracle\ncards are great for beginners. Why is that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n First things first, oracle card decks vary widely. <\/em>There are a few different reasons for this. The biggest reason is that Oracle card decks don\u2019t have a set number of cards.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n The user and owner of Oracle cards get to choose just how many cards they want in their deck – decks could consist of 10 cards to 100 cards to anything in between. Oracle card users and owners also get to choose what imagery they want on their cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, oracle cards come in all different sizes and shapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to oracle cards, you can essentially create your own deck, cards, imagery, and meanings. Oracle cards are entirely customizable and variable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Colette Baron Reid<\/a>, an Oracle expert, spiritual medium, and spiritual teacher, notes<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEach oracle card deck is its own little universe and is generally\ndistinct from the others by their art, author, and themes.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Reid also notes that oracle cards can also be created for different purposes. Some of the goals that Oracle cards can be created for are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Oracle\ncards are great for giving you insight on the more important and broader things\nin life, and are good at pointing you towards something you already knew the\nanswer to, but needed an affirmation or a push on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Oracle card decks are often used in tandem with other Oracle card decks. Many users collect a large number of oracle card decks; some use all or some of their decks together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Additional oracle card decks can be used in readings in order to get a different take on a specific subject or get a second opinion on a matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Again,\nyou read in our introduction that tarot cards take a bit more practice and\nmastery to use and interpret than oracle cards. The main reason for this is\nthat tarot cards have set rules and\ndirections. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot card decks are comprised of exactly 78 cards. Of those 78 cards, 22 are Major Arcana<\/a> cards, and 56 are Minor Arcana<\/a> cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Wait, wait, wait – this is new vocabulary. What are Major Arcana<\/a> cards, and what are Minor Arcana<\/a> cards in a tarot deck? <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 22 major arcana cards<\/a> are the most impactful and recognizable cards in a tarot card deck. These cards carry specific information and guidance about situations we all face in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Major Arcana <\/a>cards each have their own name and meaning; the first five of the Major Arcana<\/a> cards include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n The remaining 56 cards in the tarot deck are Minor Arcana<\/a> cards. The Minor Arcana cards in the tarot deck have to do with the minor trials we face on a daily basis as we go throughout life. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Minor Arcana cards<\/a> are divided into four different tarot suits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to tarot cards, the decks,\nimagery, and meaning aren\u2019t as customizable and variable as oracle cards. Tarot cards generally have meanings that\nare broadly consistent across all decks. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot cards, unlike oracle cards, give insight\ninto the finer details in life. This is often advice on specific situations,\ninsight into relationships, and insight into what\u2019s going on within us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Because Tarot cards have generally consistent meanings, and because they have specific \u201crules\u201d and guidelines, they\u2019re great for expert readers or those who have learned the card meanings and interpretations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarot Reading, 5-Minutes Free!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve recently started working with an online psychic reading company and I’ve received some great feedback.
