General oracle cards

[venus0q]

Hello,

 

I am a certified Doreen Virtue oracle card reader..who has started her journey with the tarot.The tarot I find relatively easy as theres a set method or a somewhat universally acknowledged method of dealing with them but as far as other "non Doreen Virtue" oracle cards are concerned I have quite a few of them and Iam just confused as to what is the best way of reading them..follow the booklet it comes with,your intuition or is there any other set method of approaching and reading these cards..?

 

Some of the cards that i have include..

 

Myths and mermaids oracle cards

Whispers of love oracle cards

Faerytale oracle

Journey of love oracle

Gospel of Aradia oracle

Witchlings oracle

 

 

Thank you and all suggestions and advice welcome..

Taniya..

Hi venus0q!  Welcome to TT&M.  When it comes to Oracle cards, I tend to use the companion books.  They usually state the intention of the deck and how to read them.  Some oracle decks have their own way of being read such as the Shaman's Oracle.  It has an entire placemat that walks you through the system of that deck.  Other decks have really nice books and some have no book at all.  I have the Witchlings deck and I love it.  The messages are written on the card and the companion book is actually simple spells.  If I do a reading for someone with that deck, I always include the spell that corresponds to the card.  Read through the information about the deck and see how the messages strike you.

As Saturn mentioned, it would partly depend on whether the oracle cards come with a set system or if they work together independently. Some systems can be very complex. Also, I think intuition will always be a part of the reading, regardless if one uses a book of meanings to interpret the cards or not. We still have to relate the meanings to the question, as well as tie all of the cards together to come up with the whole story.
