  • How to Choose a Tarot or Oracle Card Deck

    CARDS blog

    With thousands of decks on the market it can be very daunting to choose the right deck just for you! Cards are essentially designed to help you get in touch with your own inner knowing and the divine energy that informs that inner knowing. The more tools we have to receive intuitive information, the more assistance, signs, and messages we can pick up on.

    Tarot is for those people that have time to study the system and want clear answers in life where as oracles cards are normally much softer and more expansive as they are created in a more open space and have no structure and hard rules. They are a much easier way to start with when reading cards. You can pick what you are interested in and then find a deck with that theme eg: angels, fairies, rebels, goddesses, mother nature, animals, spellcasting, affirmations, gods, love, you name it there is likely to be a deck created in that theme! 

    When choosing a deck follow these steps and you can't go wrong...

    1. Ask the Divine to help lead you to the right deck.

    2. Don't put pressure on yourself by taking your time.

    3. Read about the deck to see if the cards are something you could work with.

    4. Read about the author to see if you like who they are.

    5. Ask people who work with decks to see what they get from them.

    6. Ask yourself do you feel attracted to the deck?

    7. Find artwork that you love!

    8. Watch lots of deck reviews on YouTube.

    9. If you have the option of trying the deck before you buy. Ask the deck "What they will bring to your spiritual practice" then pull a card.

    10. If you have a pendulum you can ask if this is the right deck for me.

    If you don't get it right the first time that's okay. I didn't have YouTubers to go check out decks so I have had a few decks that I bought that didn't suit me. I've sold most of them but some I've kept and I'm glad I did as I evolved and are ready for them now.

    I'm lucky as I got given my first Tarot deck in my early 20's then I started buying oracle decks early 2000's. I love sharing my knowledge about the cards so please do contact me if you have any questions about any of the decks on the website. I use and love all of the cards I have for sale. If you are in Whanganui you are more than welcome to come out and go through all the cards. I have open packs here so you can get the feel if they are the right deck for you and I absolutely love making a big card mess.

    Over all these years of buying decks I've found I learn something different from each deck! If a deck doesn't resonate anymore they are easy to resell, pass on, or add to the card collection like I have.

    My friend asked me to share with her what tarot cards I thought she might like to start with 2 years ago so I did a video for her that you might enjoy? Click hereto view.

    Enjoy your card journey, it truly is life changing.
