Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with tarot and oracle cards lately, right? Trying to figure out which one I vibe with more. It’s been a bit of a journey, let me tell you.
First off, I got myself a standard tarot deck. You know, the one with 78 cards, major and minor arcana, all that jazz. I started by just pulling a card each day, just to get a feel for them. I wrote down my thoughts, what I thought the card meant, and how it related to my day.
My Daily Draws
- Day 1: Pulled The Magician. Felt pretty pumped, like I could tackle anything.
- Day 2: Got The Lovers. Spent the day thinking about my relationships. Deep stuff.
- Day 3: The Tower. Okay, this one freaked me out a bit. But it made me realize some things needed to change.
After a week of this, I started doing some basic three-card spreads. You know, past, present, future kind of thing. It was pretty cool to see how the cards played off each other.
Diving into Oracle Cards
Then, I picked up an oracle deck. This one was totally different. No set structure, just a bunch of cards with different themes and messages. I found a deck with animal themes and beautiful artwork, which I really liked.
With the oracle cards, I felt more freedom. There weren’t any strict rules to follow. I just shuffled, pulled a card, and saw what it sparked in me.
Oracle Insights
- First draw: A card about trusting your intuition. It felt so right at that moment.
- Second draw: This one was about embracing change. It was like the universe was talking directly to me.
- Third draw: Got a card about self-care. A good reminder to slow down and take it easy.
I did some simple spreads with the oracle cards too, just to see how it felt. The readings were less structured than tarot, but no less meaningful. They helped me tap into my intuition in a whole new way.
Comparing the Two
So, after spending some time with both tarot and oracle cards, I realized they each have their own strengths. Tarot feels more like a system, a framework for understanding life’s ups and downs. Oracle cards, on the other hand, feel more like a direct line to my inner self, my intuition.
Honestly, I don’t think I can say one is “better” than the other. It really depends on what you’re looking for. If you want structure and a traditional approach, tarot might be your thing. If you want more flexibility and a more intuitive experience, oracle cards could be the way to go.
For now, I’m enjoying using both. I might pull a tarot card in the morning to get a sense of the day’s energy, and then use an oracle card in the evening for some reflective insight. It’s all about finding what works for you, right?
Anyway, that’s my little journey into the world of tarot and oracle cards. Hope it’s helpful for anyone else who’s curious about this stuff. Just remember, there’s no right or wrong way to do it. Just go with what feels right to you!
