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.

Why Intuitive Oracle Cards? There are many ways to interpret all Tarot and fortune-telling cards.

Research indicates that there are at least as many systems of interpretation as there are fortune tellers.

Intuition

Intuition, from the Latin in-tueor, means insight or sudden understanding: the ability to gain knowledge without conscious thought. We can therefore say that it is the ability to somehow capture truth and a special form of cognitive activity that is independent of rational process and logical judgment.

Philosopher and Nobel Prize winner H. Bergson wrote: “In the old world, introspection was actually the main means of exploring the world, where the world as a small world (microcosm) corresponded to the big world (macrocosm).”
B. Spinoza considered intuition to be a third kind of knowledge, the most credible and important, capturing the essence of things.

C. G. Jung called intuition the “noble ability of man” seeing it as unconscious perception.
For instance, 37 out of 72 Nobel laureates see the result of scientific intuition as “finding or following a path”.

Bergson bases himself upon the fact that true reality cannot be represented by mere sensory perception and rational definitions, because the intellect tries to squeeze it into rigid definitions and formulae, and in doing so misleads us. The path to reality is inner vision, intuition, a kind of merger of the intellect with instinct. We thus recognize ourselves as well as the essence of the entire world as a continuous act, and the constant effort of life’s driving force (élan vital) to achieve new, always better forms.

For the old world, intuition was a quite normal means of gaining knowledge, one from which the contemporary world is quite distant. The problems of today’s world clearly indicate that it is short-sighted to underestimate man’s spiritual potential.
Man’s autonomous spiritual forces, especially intuition, have great importance.

Intuitive Card Reading
Analytic thinking can be characterized as evidence-based logical thinking that can be verbalized. Its antithesis, intuitive thinking, is automatic, cannot be verbalized, and is mostly subconscious.

To facilitate understanding, we can replace the word “subconscious” with “soul”. Sigmund Freud first used the expression “subconscious” in place of “soul” to accommodate rationalists and scientists to whom the word “soul” was suspicious, as it reeked of mysticism and religion.
According to C. G. Jung, fortune-telling methods, including card reading, can be explained by the synchronicity principle.

The cards are perceived as a “projection screen” for the subconscious, which contains the person’s momentary emotional state, which is symbolically projected on a specific card.
Thanks to their ambiguity and indeterminacy, images and symbols can express life’s complexity much more clearly than dozens of words and definitions. They make it possible to break down a seemingly complicated problem into individual elements in which a solution can then be found.
The cards will allow you to listen to your subconscious and intuition. They will help you solve problems that you often experience, when you are unable to decide, leading to internal imbalance and stress. Your brain wants something, yet at the same time you subconsciously feel something entirely different.
Listening to and discovering internal advice through intuition helps create harmony in your body and soul.

The Exceptional Nature of Cards
We are convinced that by remembering and learning the meanings of individual cards, you deprive yourself of the ability to create a personal and intuitive connection with the cards, and thus lose the opportunity to achieve deeper spiritual wisdom.

This is why we created cards that upon examination of individual images will open the door to deep, internal wisdom and will thus allow you to access to your subconscious.
Through the harmony of stories, motifs, images, and symbols on our cards, you will very quickly be able to open your intuitive perception and the path to internal advice.

Our cards will allow you to interpret your intuition’s message by mediating communication with the topmost layer of consciousness, which thanks to its proximity you can understand.
Treat the images and symbols depicted on the 101 cards as keys that will help you unlock the mysteries of life and allow you to understand hitherto unfathomed contexts.

Our cards are suited for experienced card readers and beginners alike. They have the ability to mirror the internal world of the individual and answer their deepest questions, thus creating positive changes not only in your life, but also in the lives of others.

Instruction Manuals and Books
If have some experience with instruction manuals for cards and books about them, you most likely quickly found that each new manual, book, or website describes the meaning of specific cards quite differently. This is understandable. The authors picked meanings that were true for them, but need not be true for you.

Neither books on cards nor instruction manuals can teach you card reading. On the contrary, they will probably confuse you.
The biggest mistake you can make when reading any cards is to hold book with instructions and card meanings in one hand and handle the cards with the other. You will likely also have notes and other pieces of paper and aids on the table to help you remember the meanings of individual cards. Even if you think you know what a card means, you will look at the manual anyway.
Many beginning as well as experienced card readers encounter this problem when they obtain a new deck of fortune-telling cards.
Manuals and books force you to rely on outside sources of information instead of first and foremost relying and trusting your own intuition. No space will remain for you and development of your own card-reading skills.

What’s better? To learn the meanings of others, or to create your own?

Our objective in creating the cards was for them to be as intuitive as possible, which is why we didn’t write any long-winded texts on the meanings of the individual cards.

The only thing that matters is your individual subconscious connection to our cards. In our opinion, understanding the meaning of a card from the story depicted in each of the images and symbols on the card, and from its name, is the only proper way to use our deck of cards.

The Great Mystery of Fortune-telling
Why does nothing stand in your way if you want to succeed at card reading?
Because you have an ancient gift, which we have had since the dawn of time, but have alas stopped using. This is why you do not need to be clairvoyant, a magician, or a witch, you do not need to see into the future, read minds, or have ancestors with this talent.

This great, secret gift is intuition. Intuition is present in each of us from birth, and it is solely up to us whether we listen to it and develop it.

Getting Familiar With the Cards
Pick up the deck of cards and examine the cards one by one. Be open and listen to your intuition and your inner voice.

As you examine the cards, write down your feelings for each individual card. These personal meanings represent your own path, as they resonate with your intuition and subconscious.
You can split the cards up into groups according to characteristics you yourself define.

We recommend keeping a notebook where each card will have its own page, where you will gradually write down your experiences, messages, and understanding. Above all, make sure they are true for you. Gradually establish a connection with each card on the intuitive level.
You will thus learn intuitive card reading very quickly, easily, and successfully. The cards will start to tell you their stories, and readings will be much more lively and accurate.
Start speaking with the cards, open your sixth sense, and the cards will start speaking to you.

Doing a Reading
The cards work like a mirror. They only thing that matters is what you experience and feel when you are looking at the card and listening to your intuition and your subconscious.

There are no binding rules or prohibitions for how you should ask questions.
Shuffle the cards as you would normally do.
It’s up to you what time period you want to ask the cards about.

You can use 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 or more cards for a reading, as well as the “Celtic Cross”, but always keep in mind that reading 1, 2, or 3 cards is sufficient for a simple or quick answer to questions like what will happen today or tomorrow.

MINDFUL INTELLIGENCE Relationship Cards

EVOLVE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH MINDFUL PRACTICE

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.

Think of a question…
Choose a layout…
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).

Cosmic Deck of Initiation

LIFE IS AN AMAZING ADVENTURE!

SINGLE DECK

There comes a time in every generation when consciousness shifts, and new paradigms and philosophies begin to expand into our realities. At those times new tools and modalities evolved into the culture to facilitate the further expansion of consciousness. This deck was channeled as this new wave of consciousness crested and started to open the hearts and minds of the culture. The use of the ancient form of mandalas to express the spiritual energies of the transformation process brings the wisdom of the ancients forward in time to aide in the ascension process of the consciousness evolving to new levels of awareness.

This is your personal deck, as you work with it, as you link with the patterns and tap into the energy that is within the cards you will start to have a more intimate experience with each card and perhaps even shift or expand on the definitions given in this book. There are intentional blank spaces within so that you can take notes or shift meanings … Feel free to expand on what I have written for as it becomes more familiar to you, it literally becomes you. This deck provides a tool to tap into and open to the energies that are within you and will give philosophical wisdoms for you to consider in evolving your spiritual energies and how to use them within your reality.

This deck offers positive insights and true understandings of our realities. It gives no negative admonitions, no pejorative interpretations. Each challenge, person, and situation in life is recognized as another step, another step forward to greater self-understanding, growth and evolution of spirit. To judge our lives as good or bad is to cast opinion from a limited perspective. Challenges are opportunities for growth that we asked to be provided with in order reach greater frequencies within.

The deck Will never give you a yes or no (trust me on this one… I tried) but rather you will be given areas to focus on, wisdom to weave into situations or insights to reality that you might not have considered. This is a deck of growth and spiritual insight. It well may trigger creative energies and open you to new vistas within your life. This is a channeled deck, channeled through one who is not an artist, and yet I painted; bringing wisdom through time, and yet I am not a philosopher or sage sharing insight and spiritual magic, and yet wisdom flows through me. It came through me, not of me and I cannot express enough the love and creative gifts I have experienced because of the gift of this deck.

These cards are not just pretty paintings. They were painted in a specific order to express the Spirits journey from the time of entrance into this reality to the time of exit when we cross over into the threshold to another dimension and level of consciousness. In using the deck, it is important to pay attention not just the names of the cards but also how the patterns are placed within the form … are they sharp or rounded, how are the colors overlaid and what is the background color. Color was very important in the creation of every card. The chakra colors are represented in every card with a white center representing the Source of all creation or the Divine, or Cosmic Consciousness (you get the idea). Pay attention to how the colors are represented in each card for they will trigger messages themselves within your consciousness. The Cosmic Deck was designed and channeled with the chakra system in mind …each of the mandalas were painted with all energies represented as well. As you work with the deck and get into the greater subtleties represented you will find that the colors give you even more detailed information. For those who want to go even further into the use and understanding of the cards I am including chakra color information here so that you can draw upon it when and if you reach that point in your use of the cards. But, most importantly of all …have fun with them and remember that we are supposed to celebrate rather than just survive this lifetime and that all the gifts and talents that we carry within are tools gathered through countless lifetimes and brought to this reality to manifest even greater treasures that are within.

TRANSFORMATION CARDS

SINGLE DECK

The beautiful cards in this deck were carefully created using powerful archetypes and symbols that actually have the ability to transform consciousness. They are a roadmap to higher consciousness. The front of each card has a picture you can meditate with, that will stimulate your unconscious mind, promoting your personal evolutionary journey. It also shows the Path number. The back of each card shows the number of the Path in its position on the Tree of Life, the color of the Path, the major arcana tarot card it corresponds to, the stone or crystal it resonates with, and the Hebrew name of the Path, also given in English. The symbols for the chakras are also shown on the back, each on a circle called a Sephiroth in Hebrew, that represents a specific aspect of the God-Goddess consciousness.

You are embarking on an amazing journey into self, starting your meditations with Path 32 at the base of the Tree of Life and travelling upwards in reverse number order towards heightened awareness and higher development in all areas of your being and your life. As you feel yourself transforming and your awareness expanding, your outer world circumstances improve, blocks evaporate, challenges become exciting opportunities. Even your family and friends will be affected in a positive way by the energy of this deck when you use it. It expands your psychic abilities, opens and develops your chakras, enhances spiritual development, and leads you to become a manifester of your own reality. Many would call its transformative qualities magical. When used to promote your personal spiritual journey, it is best to move through the deck one card at a time. Try meditating on each card just before bed, so your unconscious can work on it as you sleep.. Remember this is not a toy. This is a powerful transformational tool that just happens to be enjoyable and enlightening to work with. Every time you repeat the journey through the cards, your awareness grows to new heights.

Included is a journal, so you can track your dreams, and experiences along the way. Also included is a Guidebook that will highlight specific areas in your life that each Path helps you to deal with. If you’re having issues with a specific thing, just draw the card that helps you to deal with it, and let the card’s transformative energy fill your gaze, transforming your mindset. You can also meditate with just that one card daily until your problem is resolved.
