What Oracles do you use the most?

[EmpyreanKnight]

It seems like the Reading with Oracles Circle exchanges were a hit, so I guess you guys do like your oracles. :P So yeah, what decks do you find yourself using the most? Which among your collection are your favorites?

 

I don't really use oracles that much. I only used one in the current exchange, and I must say that I liked reading with it a lot. I'd really like to explore them more. I also noticed that oracles are not that well-represented in my collection, so I guess I can also get some ideas from your answers. :)

The Vessel oracle lives in my backpack. I love it for how straightforward and loving it is, and the folk imagery is really engaging.

 

But my favorite deck of all the decks I own is the Forces, Flora & Fauna. The concept is perfect, the deck is beautifully balanced and the art just sings to my soul.

[Starlight]

There are two main decks I use: Les Vampires by Lucy Cavendish and the Wisdom of the Oracle deck by Colette Baron-Reid. Both are very straightforward in readings, but also deep. The Wisdom of the Oracle itself draws on several different types of oracles, if I remember correctly. The readings are quite specific, I've found. :)

[Flaxen]

I have quite a few oracles. Some of the ones I love are Fallen Angels, Froud's Faeries, Portable Fortitude, Victorian Flower Oracleand Oracle of the Radiant Sun.

[Lantana]

Minimalist Oracle. I’ve been pulling two cards from it daily since I got it... I think it might be my “soul deck: Oracle edition”.  ;D

[katrinka]

It depends on your definition of "oracle". Mine is roughly "what's left after you subtract Tarot, Lenormand and Lenormand variants, Sibilla-type decks, Ziguener/Biedermeier types, playing cards and Kippers."

 

The only one I really used a lot up to now is the Victorian Flower Oracle. But I think I will be using this one a lot, too: https://www.thetarotforum.com/oracles-decks/mildred-payne%27s-secret-pocket-oracle/

The two that I work with are: The Oracle of the Dragonfae and Animal Spirits. The Animal Spirits Deck is probably my favorite because it is authored and illustrated by Kim Krans who created The Wild Unknown, this is the deck that I learned on. The Oracle of the Dragonfae is beautiful too. It is what I use when I want to tap into my inner mysticism.

The Animal Spirits Deck is probably my favorite because it is authored and illustrated by Kim Krans who created The Wild Unknown, this is the deck that I learned on.

 

Oh yes, I shall be working with this too once they release the mass market version early next year. I love the Wild Unknown too.

I don't normally get on so well with oracles that are from creators/ authors who mass produce many different decks but I really love the Earth Magic Oracle. I always get amazing readings from it and it just seems to link with me so well! I always rave about that deck but I know some people have bought it and hated it, influenced be me. oops! it's interesting different decks fit different people!

 

I also love lenormand and kipper decks. But Earth Magic is my go to. I also use a lot, psycards for a psychological reading and the  A'ha Oracle by Linnie (self published) is my fave spirtual deck. I find I use them the most!

[Saturn Celeste]

I don't normally get on so well with oracles that are from creators/ authors who mass produce many different decks but I really love the Earth Magic Oracle.

I love that deck also.  For some reason I tend to use it a lot for earth signs.  I also use the White Rabbit, Vintage Wisdom, Divinations of the Ancients, Energy Oracle and Wisdom of the House of Night oracle.  I also use my Botanical Inspirations.  I have a few more but that's all I can think of at the moment.

I have a lot of oracle decks, but mostly, I find them vague and disappointing. So for oracle reading now, I use signs, songs that come on when I turn the radio on, messages I get from the universe. Bits of random conversation, the way the air feels in the morning, how twigs lie on my path when I walk the dogs. How many crows I see. How many geese flock over the house in flight. If there is a black or a red thread clinging to my clothing. That kind of thing.

 

These seem to work just as well as cards :)

[EmpyreanKnight]

It's the Les Vampires and the Gods and Titans for me. When the Promethean comes I shall definitely be reading with it regularly too.

[Little Fang]

I'm using primarily the Shamanic Healing Oracle as well as the Anubis Oracle the  most, and I'm quite picky with oracles!

[rhinemaiden]

Madame Endora's Fortune Cards is my oracle of choice

[dancing_moon]

I'm very picky with Oracles, but the ones I've picked I often use:

Vera Sibilla

Eros Oracle

Fairy Ring Oracle (app)

 

I've found that I like Oracles that strike a balance between an intellectually stimulating (but not convoluted) system and emotionally engaging (but not fluffy or vague) images. Hopefully, I'll find more decks that'll do this for me. :)

[TheFeeLion]

I must admit I'm pretty picky about oracles as well. I'm definitely not a fan of ones that are too full of fluff without any real meat to their bones!

 

My hands-down favourite would have to be Froud's Faeries Oracle. I've also found a crystal oracle/flashcards that I really want to get my hands on too, it's a set of 6 decks for a total of 282 cards from HealingCrystals.com :o ;D

[ballerina]

The oracles that I currently use the most are The Enchanted Map and The Heart of Faerie Oracle.  Runners up are The Fairy Ring and Whispers of Lord Ganesha.  I especially like The Enchanted Map for self study and Whispers of Lord Ganesha for business or starting of new enterprise inquiries.

I definitely agree with this and find myself doing the same thing. I think one mistake I made when I decided to pursue oracle decks (alongside tarot) is I fell for the "hype" some people would make around certain decks. I would watch my favorite tarot youtubers make video reviews on oracle decks and would get so caught up in the pretty pictures and all of the nice things people were saying about the deck and I would buy it on a whim. You have no idea how many decks I bought and could just not connect with. I have given so many decks away or have sold them.

 

Then I came across the book "The World is Your Oracle" by Nancy Vedder Schultz and my life changed (literally!).  I started  reading the signs around me (similar to how you do) even before doing any reading. Sometimes the reading was not even necessary. I also have been experimenting creating my own divination set with  charms, bones and other curios and I am finding the process very liberating.

[Magickjack]

I'm not an Oracle person and the only one I have actually used was someone's Wild Unknown Oracle deck which was OK.  I have been working with the little Art Deco Fortune Telling Cards by Piatnik lately and I'm having a good time with them.  I always wanted them and the price on Amazon was too high.  But I have a secret... (LuckyMojo.com had them for $17.00 a couple years ago).  Anyway, I thought I got a good deal.  But the big Oracle Cards at the bookstores, no I haven't ever used them.  I haven't seen any I would actually like. 

[EmpyreanKnight]

I didn't put much stock in oracles until recently. I used to think that they were somehow not as essential as the Tarot, but a very accurate and insightful reading changed my mind. And when I worked with Les Vampires and Gods and Titans, it kind of sealed the deal for me, and I had a newfound respect for them and the knowledge they can bestow.

[Amethyst indigo]

I have a few oracle decks but my most used ones are

Sacred rebels

Heart of faerie (Froud)

Gaia

Druid animals

[Jewel]

The Froud Faeries Oracle hands down.  I have been using mine since forever and that deck just literally came alive and the faeries still chatter away.  The Dragonfae is another that I really love.  Those two are my go to oracles above all others.
