Oracle cards?

I've always read tarot cards, I never had or experienced an oracle deck (or singular card) in any way. I am very lost when it comes to oracle cards. Not to sound completely out of the loop, but are different decks for different subjects/situations? What types are out there? Do you read them in a similar way to tarot cards? Thank you everyone.

hi charmed.

there are different decks of oracle cards, some state for specific topics like healing- never tried those, don't know, also never tried the angel- deck- kinds, never spoke to me.

i do have unicorn oracle cards, and fairy ring oracle deck, and some gypsy oracle decks, maybe i have few more, don't remember at the moment, it just say i don't use them that often :)
all of these decks i use just as i use tarot cards.
i just look at the images and see what comes up,
yes, there are books and explanations and formal meanings.. so you can use the books if you like, or just listen to your heart and the cards.

i can say it only about myself, but when i need a message i use the oracle cards, if i have a question or a clear topic in mind i use the tarot cards. is it a rule, nop, but this is how it works for me.

what are you looking for?

I have always picked the oracle decks that attract me, for example, all my decks are with the Archangels and Ascended Masters/Goddesses - all by Doreen Virtue as well.

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.

Oh wow, I would really like to get a deck for myself. Would there be any recommendations as far as someone completely new to reading them?

No one else can really reccommend cards for you. Have a look around and trust your intuition....and when you feel drawn to a deck, then get those ones.

To give a basic idea. Some will take the major arcane out of the tarot deck and only use them for readings to have an oracle type reading setup from them.

The idea with oracle is each card has its own specific meaning and as with Tarot looking into the picture is the main key to reading it, or what you feel and get from the card leading to the pictures direction.

There are different oracle decks focusing on different areas .. so unlike tarot where you have all the different themes a few changes but basically keep with minor/major arcane ... You can get oracle cards for specific purposes.

First two i came across was

Wisdom of the hidden realms oracle - bought this for a more of a wisdom/direction type reading

and Angel therapy oracle cards - for more of a healing type deck with that type of field.

Theres a ton out there ones like faerie oracle and the like.. Each comes with its own book explaining each card and meaning as well :) they are normally much more indepth then the little booklets you get with tarot.

I would say goto a shop and look around and see what you think most suites you )
