Oracle and Angel Cards

Oracle cards are defined as a set of divinatory cards that are used for personal exploration and ritual.

Many people who are new to psychic readings often wonder what is the difference between these three types of divination decks. The differences and similarities may surprise you.

By far, the most commonly used deck is the one known as Tarot. The history of the Tarot is debated between Tarot historians and practicing psychics. Still, it seems to have been created as a card game back in the 14th century and slowly evolved into a divination tool. Two famous French occultists, Jean-Baptiste Alliette (also known as Etteilla) and Antoine Court (also known as Court de Gébelin), are typically credited for popularizing Tarot card readings back in Paris in the 1800s.

Tarot card readers have become more of a specialized skill since then and are commonly used today for psychic readings and spiritual growth. Most work exclusively with Tarot, but many have branched out into using and combining Oracle cards and Angel cards for various purposes.

Part of the allure of having card readings done in person is the shuffling of cards. Mesmerizing, there are many different methods and methodology of how and why a deck is shuffled a specific way. Individual styles of reading allow more interaction with the deck from the client as a psychic shuffles, allowing them to tune more effectively into their energy. Shuffling, in of itself, is said to be meditative and will enable you to connect with your higher self.

When it comes to size, all of these card decks are generally larger, or unusually sized, than typical regular playing cards. Most Tarot cards are slightly larger than standard playing cards, averaging 2.75” x 4.75”, whereas some jumbo decks are said to have cards as large as 4.2” x 7.2”. Oracle cards oddly favor different sizes as well, and some variations come in square or round.

The one thing all of these decks have in common is that people use them in order to seek answers to questions. No matter if you intend to pull one card or lay down a three-card spread, chances are you will find answers right in front of you if you are willing to see them.
