A Beginner's Guide to Oracle Cards

Sometimes, with spiritual tools, it’s common to doubt that we are using them “the right way,” but there is no right or wrong way to use oracle cards! Following your intuition is the name of the game. 

Here are some simple and effective steps to begin working with oracle cards:

1. Take a few deep breaths.
2. Shuffle the cards.
3. Close your eyes.
4. Hold the cards to your heart center in between your palms and ask a question, out loud or within. Ask open ended questions like, “What am I supposed to know right now?” or, “What message does Spirit have for me today?”
5. Lay the cards face down in a stack.
6. Cut the deck.
7. Draw a card.
8. This card has a message for you; it’s up to you to discern its meaning.
9. Use your intuition. Listen to the messages that come through and practice trust.
10. Use the description included with the deck to deepen your understanding of the card's message for you. 

May your Spirit Guides and messages show up for you in powerful and potent ways as you create and deepen your relationship with your oracle cards. The Universe is waiting to assist us in our earthly endeavors. Guidance, support and help are simply a shuffle of the deck away!
