FAQ: Oracle card decks

Oracle Card Decks are divination tools used to provide insight, guidance, and clarity on life situations or personal questions. Unlike tarot decks, which follow a structured system, oracle decks are more flexible, with each deck having its own theme, symbols, and number of cards. Each card offers a message or piece of wisdom that encourages self-reflection, spiritual growth, or decision-making.

Oracle decks are used by spiritual seekers, mystics, healers, and those looking for personal or intuitive guidance. They are popular among individuals who practice divination, meditation, or mindfulness, and by professional readers who use them for spiritual coaching or guidance sessions. Oracle decks are also used by those looking for daily inspiration, support in decision-making, or deeper self-awareness.

You use oracle decks to gain insight, find clarity, or receive spiritual guidance on a specific question or issue. They offer intuitive support, helping you to reflect on your current life situation and the underlying energies at play. Oracle cards are often used to tap into personal intuition, inspire positive action, and offer encouragement or affirmation during times of uncertainty or transformation.

To use an oracle deck, you shuffle the cards while focusing on a question or situation you need guidance on. You then select one or more cards, interpreting their message based on the symbols, words, or themes on the card. Many people use oracle cards as part of a daily spiritual practice, drawing a card each morning for inspiration or meditation. Others may use the cards for specific issues, using the guidance to make decisions or gain new perspectives on their lives. The flexibility of oracle decks allows for personal interpretation and connection with the wisdom they offer.

MINDFUL INTELLIGENCE Cartoon Practice Cards

EVOLVE WITH MINDFUL CARTOON PRACTICE CARDS

SINGLE DECK

Mindful Intelligence Cards are based on the book Mindful Intelligence: and the Making of You, by Tracy Rowan.

Mindful Intelligence books and cards help people apply mindfulness practice to everyday life moments, through attitudes (blue cards), awareness (purple), and action/reactions (blue-green). Trump cards affect the overall impression of the reading.

When on the go, travelling, or in airplane mode, your decks are there with you on your phone to consult about Relationships and Self-Awareness as you develop the habit of applying Mindful practice to all aspects of life.

There are three Mindful Intelligence Card Decks that complement each other. Combine them for more complex readings:

Mindful Intelligence Self-Practice Cards,
Mindful Intelligence Relationship Cards, and
Mindful Intelligence Cartoon Practice Cards.

Use the cards with the book (available at Amazon or your local bookstore), use decks on their own, or use more than one deck in a reading, in the Deckible app.

Each deck is arranged by 52 topics that can be looked up in the book for further information, where topics are listed alphabetically. The Self-Practice and Relationship cards have a reflection for each topic plus 8 trump cards, and the cartoon deck has a cartoon for each topic, and 15 practice cards.

Select cards that draw your attention.

Try the different card layouts:
-Free form
-Past Present Future
-Problem Solving
-The Split Decision
-Yes No
-Mind Body Spirit
-Suit draw (attitude, awareness, action/reaction, trump)

In addition to the reading, you could...
--Practice developing intuition: Gaze at the cartoons, or the scene in trump cards, and set the meditation timer in the deckible app. See what thoughts and images come to your mind as you practice slow deep breathing.
--Use the 15 practice cards (in the Cartoon Practice Cards Deck), to learn how to be "mindful on the move," and train your brain to go beyond repetitive thinking, to focus with more intention. Try different practices while on a walk, or while moving through your day. Through neuroplasticity, the brain can change to more easily focus on what you want (instead of what you don't want).
