Like others here, I choose an oracle card deck by intuition...and when I read...the intuition of which deck to use is as much part of the reading as the cards themselves. I prefer oracle cards than tarot simply because I feel more freedom to read the pictures intuitively. There are many different ones...I have trees, animals, crystal, ascended masters, angels, fairies, atlantis. I have a deck of lenormand cards too.....they are very special, they almost have a story on each card.
