Using Angel and Oracle Cards
This intention of this blog is to help others spiritually, emotionally, and energetically heal. Every week we speak about finding our way back home. A way back to ourselves. This week I am going to discuss using Angel and Oracle cards as a tool for enlightenment. This is how I use Angel and Oracle Cards, either for myself or during readings for others. There are Tarot Cards as well. In my practice, so far, I have not been drawn to using them. Not all modalities are for everyone. There are a lot of great Tarot Card readers out there. If you are drawn to Tarot, by all means check them out.
I am asked frequently, what the difference is between Angel and Oracle Cards. Here is how I see it. Angel Cards offers guidance from your Angels and guides. Oracle Cards also with the help of your guides give you tools for self-reflection, personal insight to help you take a deeper look within.
When choosing a deck (your first deck or tenth deck) go to the deck you feel drawn to. Usually, if you are at a shop, it will probably be the first deck you take off the shelf. Hold the deck in your Non predominant hand with your predominant hand on top. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and see how it feels. Does your body move forward or backward? Do you feel tingly or emotional? Check in with yourself while holding the deck. Then go with your intuition if this deck is for you. Trust how it feels and know that it is the one. Once you have your deck at home choose a time to spend with it. Take the cards out, I always knock the deck. I’m not sure if I read this somewhere or if it is just me wanting to knock out any other energy for others who have touched the deck. Hold the deck and touch each card placing your intention into the deck. I usually ask to be guided by God and the Angels to receive the most loving, healing messages for the greater good of all those I deliver messages to. I ask God and the Angels to bless this tool and to not allow me to be self-absorbed as I know that only God will have the correct path for me and my client to follow. After placing my intention into each card, I then look at each card and read the author’s interpretation. I’ll work with the deck for a while, pulling a card or two every day to see what I am to focus on as well as familiarize myself with them. I practice with friends and clients until I know I am resonating with the messages. Sometimes, I do not connect with the deck. If this is the case, I simply put it away for a while and pull it out later. If the deck feels sticky to me, (I’m not sure how else to explain it) I may gift it to someone. Knowing that I was meant to purchase it for someone else.
Each deck comes with a guidebook and most have a brief description on each card. The more you use them the more in tune you will be with the message. I really stress to my clients and students to listen to what you feel the message is instead of just reading the book. You can pull one card a day for guidance, a 3 card pull for past, present and future information. The choice is really up to the questions you have and what your intuition is guiding you to do.
I have three decks that I’ll call my go to deck. One is a Medicine Deck that describes the animal spirit that is around for a specific reason. Then there are two different Angel decks I use. When you schedule a private reading with me you will receive information from the Medicine Deck as well as a past, present, future, the path and the challenge reading. I like to read these both forward and backward to receive a greater understanding. A lot of Mediums choose not to do this but again, it is your choice of what you feel drawn to do. While connecting to spirit, I shuffle another set of Angel cards, these are validations from the messages your loved ones are offering. I go through the meanings at the end to give you more validation of what we are speaking about.
I have so many decks that I use. A few are, Energy Deck that helps in reading energy, Past Life Regression Deck which does exactly what you would think. It helps to research within your spirit information about your past life. I work closely with Archangel Michale, so I use that deck for guidance. There are decks that teach on Mediumship and Psychic ability teaching you how to open to these abilities. There is a Love Journey Deck to help you concentrate on sending and receiving love. Giving you daily thoughts to help in being more open to love.
When I teach students how to connect and read cards I use the Earth Warrior Deck. This deck has such beautiful artwork with many signs and symbols on them. When pulling a card, I tell my students, to focus on what jumps out on the cards. Then I ask, what that means to you? For example, let’s say the card has many designs and colors on it, but as soon as you looked at it you saw a beautiful swan. Our consciousness/ subconscious has a file cabinet of memories that the Angels will use to help trigger a better understanding. What does your mind instantly go to when you see the swan? I immediately go to the story of the ugly duckling. I tell you this because if I were to explain the meaning to my client, it would probably go something like: “In the past you struggled with who you were. You wanted to fit in but just didn’t feel as though you measured up. But lately you have been able to walk into your power and find out that you don’t have to fit it. You are unique in your own way. In doing this your energy is emerging into a beautiful swan. You’ve recognized the changes and welcome them in. You are accepting of your true authentic self and no longer have to please all those around you. You have come to realize that your vibe will attract your tribe.” Then I would ask if this resonated with them. This is just one example.
I hope this helps you to better understand how I currently use Angel and Oracle cards. There is no need to be afraid or intimidated with using Angel and Oracles Cards if you feel drawn or curious about how to use them. All modalities can be used for good or bad. As you know, not all people are good, and their intentions can be on a lower energy level. Choose someone you feel an energetic connection to in having a card reading. If choosing a deck choose one that you feel you have a good energic connection to and you will be amazed at the things you discover.
