In this post, we're going to discuss how you can use Oracle Cards to access divine guidance.
Oracle Cards are just one of many types of divination tools.
Divination tools are physical world tools that you can use to externally validate what you are already intuitively receiving from The Spiritual World.
Spirit Guides and Angels can connect with you using Oracle Cards as their medium of communication here on the physical plane.
Oracle Cards Decks are different from other forms of divination cards in that they usually are designed and intended for you to connect with and access the guidance of one group of spiritual beings.
Oracle Card Decks generally range from 30 to 56 cards, they vary in pictures, and they often carry either written or symbolic information on each card.
It is through the symbols on the cards and the juxtaposition of the cards to each other that you can draw the meaning of the messages from The Spirit World on them.
You shuffle the deck, draw cards, and use them to receive meaningful and direct messages from Spirit in a tangible way you can actually see.
I like them for clients and even myself, because they take the Clairvoyant images you already see and put them on a canvas in front of the medium and the viewer, almost giving you a visual presentation to help enhance and describe your messages.
I also like to use them when friends and family members ask for readings because it helps create some emotional distance and objectivity between myself and the subject.
You can use Oracle Cards as a stand-alone divination tool or as a tool to cross-check the intuitive information you have already received, as a form of double-validation.
There are many Oracle Cards on the market today, and usually, each has its own set of directions and explanations of how to use them.
I love Oracle Cards and collecting them, and when working with a deck to draw down the messages from Spirit, I encourage using one you fall in love with.
Because then, you learn the symbols, and the interplay of the cards can unfold an even deeper meaning for you.
Though, my hope is that without instructions, you can pick up any deck and begin reading it. So that’s what this post is about.
Below are the 8 essential bones of how you do a card reading in conjunction, and connection with Spirit.
#1
Choose a deck that speaks to you - either buy new or select a pack already in your collection.
#2
If your deck is new, before you draw, take all the cards out and go through them one by one, taking in the art and the message on each card.
If it's an old deck from your collection or one borrowed, knock on it or sage it, to clear and reset the energy.
It helps make the card deck your familiar tool and releases projections.
#3
Take three deep breaths, focus, and ask your question or state your intention of what you'd like to know.
#4
Shuffle the cards until you hear or sense when to stop. You will sense it.
If you have a method of shuffling, do this method until you sense when to stop shuffling.
#5
Once you’ve stopped shuffling, choose a card or series of cards that calls to you - I usually pull 1 for a single answer and 3 if I want to see how the situation started and peek at how it may progress.
If you pull 3 cards, the first card is the past, the second is the present and the third is the likely outcome or future.
#6
Flip over the cards and observe them, take in what they may mean.
#7
Ask Spirit to psychically show or tell you, telepathically, any messages that go with these cards.
The cards themselves are also messages, but anything you intuitively receive when doing the reading should be factored in.
#8
Refer to the book that came with your deck for additional potential messages - remember most decks are written in tandem with the author’s Spirit Guides and Angels, so the booklet includes Spirit messages too.
Sometimes it helps, after you pull the cards, to step back, zoom out and look at all the cards you pulled or the entire image to get the message.
All decks are created in alignment with a vibrational frequency of a particular set of guides and lightworkers.
So if you do not resonate with a deck try another until you find a deck you can rely on.
From there, most decks will have even further instructions on how you can enhance or accurately read that deck, but without those, the above step-by-step is really all you need.
