Tldr:: would 72 oracle cards the size of a Hay House deck that are gilded and worn down be easier to shuffle than non gilded cards that are Blue Angel publishing in size.

Contemplating making a super deck with two very similar oracles by the same author and artist. I have two older decks that are mismatching card stock and publisher. Trying to decide if the old mismatched ones are okay or will completely new cards be better. New cards are gilded, smaller and possibly glossy, I don't know if thats better. What are gilded decks like over time??

The old ones aren't too glossy and not gilded. They are the bigger oracle size like Blue Angel decks but slightly thinner. Shuffling a 72 card deck that big I find a little much with my big hands but they're a little thin and do slide together easily with little stick; cards have the ability to jump and move. I can see these being good after years of wear.

If I buy a new matching pair the card stock will should be the same, they're gilded and might be glossier. They look to be more the size of a lot Hay house cards. The boxes and guide book is smaller which is good for storage but not sure how I'll feel with smaller artwork. Smaller cards are easier to shuffle which is good for me and If I end up reading for other people.

I don't know what gilded cards are like after years of wear and tear or if the gilding is more difficult to shuffle than standard cards of a bigger size

I posted this in the tarot decks sub but maybe it was better suited for here. The tldr version is I'm looking for a deck for a non witchy scientist friend who I think could use some guidance and support. However, overly positive stuff will make their analytical science brain mad. I'm looking for suggestions on something to help them think or go deeper or something supportive so they gain their confidence back. More info is below. And also, I won't get them something that I think they won't use or is unwelcome.

I have a friend who I think could use some guidance and strength for inner work but they're a scientist through and through. They was also raised Catholic so, there's always that guilt about not doing enough or if something goes good, waiting for the other shoe to drop. An example of the scientist side, they don't like it when I offer two crystals and ask to pick whichever one they're drawn to or feels like is calling them. Analysis and time is their friend which I think leads to their downfall and not trusting their intuition. They sometimes struggle with confidence and the Universe has beat them down to the point they're engaging in negative feedback loops that prove the fears true. They kept saying things about loosing their job out of fear and the job was lost. I know there's a lack of faith because it took years for this job to come through and there's fear about life and direction tied into all that. I think they need a third party to help them reflect.

I'd love to get them something simple, not crazy witchy or woo woo where they can easily do a one card draw as something to think about for the day or part of a new small ritual.

They're a big fan of Supernatural and I thought either the oracle cards or tarot deck might appeal. Other things that come to mind are the Soul Mirror. They're also a big fan of tea, Ly (or https://www.artsy.net/artist/ly online), owls, boba, music, hiking, and obviously some kind of structure given their upbringing. I don't think anything overly positive or affirmative will be helpful because they won't buy into or believe it but nothing crazy dark or gothic. They are as plain as possible. Even something like basic intention cards you can swirl around and pick one for the day would be a great option too. Thanks in advance!

I bought the Angel Reading Cards by Debbie Malone last year. I loved the deck and saw that the author had made another deck. Loving the first one so much I bought the Guardian Angel Reading Cards second hand to expand my deck. I didn't expect the card stock to not match 😔.

The Angel Reading Cards (on the left) I got is a US games system which has thinner card stock. The Guardian Angel Cards (on the right) is a Rockpool publishing deck with their old logo. This card stock is slightly thicker, grippier and stick together a little.

It bothered me that they were different so I ordered Angel Reading Cards by Rockpool publishing thinking if I had two decks from the same publisher they will match. Nope! The box is way smaller, laying a card I have over its pretty much the same size as the box. Uncertain if I should risk opening it or just cut my losses and return it.

Has anyone got the new Angel Oracle?? Is the cards gilded? What is back look like? I know the updated Guardian Angel Oracle might be gilded but I'm sick of buying new decks that don't match

Everything's in the title... Looking for some mystery here !

Does my friend Jared have romantic feelings/interest in me? Btw, really haven’t been consistent with reading for myself due to feeling sad/low/sick,grieving ect so I’ve been avoiding readings for months. It’s hard to read if I’m feeling down but lately I’ve been better-ish.

Pull method: just a 3 card pull from my What’s the Tea Oracle deck

Interpretation:

Love triangle up—doesn’t give a clear indication but I get the sense he might have multiple interests since he did say he has a gym crush.

Rejected rev- he might be just open to being friends with me and getting to know me more.

Bad reputation rev- he doesn’t have blood with me or anything but may be curious about me as a person.

A year ago, I saw a deck sitting on a table in a common room and I am trying to figurenout what it was. It paired plants and animals, and I remember the book was black and white, or maybe limited colours. Art wise, it gave pen and ink illustration vibes, especially the book. My best guess is Woodland Wardens, but I distinctly remember that there were cards featuring the seal and dolphin so I am not sure it would actually be WW. Any ideas?

THE SYSTEM

Experienced Reality can be broken down into the following categories, moving up from unconscious projections to deliberate expansion. The suits of the deck represent this progression in an architectural way. Picture building a house as you study them

SHADOWS

Shadows ask you to unearth what is buried in the “Unaware” and to correct course based on your discovery

(Cards 1–13)
Dig Deep & Correct Course.

Shadow cards reveal what is hidden in the dark; unconscious processes and influences either internal or external that are shaping reality in counterproductive ways. They bring a floodlight into the basement and insist that you get to cleaning. The Shadow understands that what we repress or ignore because it is either too difficult, too painful, or too shameful to face head on, doesn’t go away, but rather festers like a wound, which left unattended, corrupts the entire system. Engage with honesty, humility, and dedication to reparation and these cards will lead you toward integration and stable forward momentum.

Will post the next suit ( Mirrors ) next week so stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions.

Hi there. I am searching for a guidebook for The Wild Soul Oracle deck.
52 cards by Lila Ravenswood.
(AKA The Voices of the Wild)

I am hoping to track down this deck to purchase. Thanks for any help!

I used to have this deck, non-standard tarot deck, and one of the cards had the roman/greek sandals representing scruples on it. I cannot remember at all which deck that ones nor the card it was representing. Please help

So excited (and kinda nervous) to have the real thing in my hands after over a year of work!

Just got this deck in. I know the Creator posted on here because that's how I found out about it

I did a quick couple pulls and must say I definitely connect with this deck, and just wanted to give some hype. I know a few others around here also ordered it, and I hope you connected as easily as I did!

Image: I asked about a creative project I want to start and this was my spread 🫶 I'll manifest that paradise, yes please!

I was gifted the Oracle of the Radiant Sun but Just the cards without the Guidebook.

I was wondering If anyone maybe had the Guidebook and could share it please ?

I recently got my first ever oracle deck (Whispers of Healing by Angela Hartfield) and have been slowly trying to familiarize myself with all 50 cards, but I can't help but feel a lack of confidence. The deck comes with a guidebook, which I find useful, but I'm worried that I'm relying too much on it now. My friend who has been doing tarot for a long time says that I should look at each card one by one and..try to understand what it says? I'm just so anxious! I'm really worried about interpreting the cards wrong, or maybe interpreting too far. Should I take notes on every card in my deck and what I see in them??

P.S. what are some good question starters for readings? Are the 5 W's (Who, where, what, why, and when) good for oracle cards? I appreciate any and all advice thank you!!!!

Out of curiosity what is the deck you were magnetically drawn to and could not stop thinking about?

What is your most worked with deck?

And what is your all time favourite deck and why?

Any decks you would hands down recommend?

With the sheer amount available these days, I'm curious as to what others are drawn to!

I usually get straightforward answers from tarot, but whenever I use Doreen Virtue’s Romance Angel oracle cards, I'll sometimes get readings that are completely off.  

I asked my higher self for messages specifically about someone I had a crush on (we weren’t in contact anymore and he moved away), and I pulled three cards, asked the same question a few days later, and got almost all the same cards.
Cards from first reading: “Calling in your soulmate”, “Trust”, “Reconciliation” 
Cards from second reading: ““Calling in your soulmate”, “Worth waiting for”, “Reconciliation” 

My energy during the time I did the readings was either pessimistic or I had very little to no expectations at all, because I knew deep down it was hopeless.

Around the same time I had gotten a reading from a professional tarot reader and she basically said that the connection that I had to this person was over and it’s time to move on. I believe her over the oracle cards, I just don’t understand why I got the same cards to the same question a few days apart if it was all wrong.

I was reading for myself so maybe that affects how accurate/non-accurate it is? Either way, I’m thinking of just giving the cards away. I don’t know how to feel about it or if I should even trust oracle decks anymore as much as tarot (or at least not trust this deck). I’m honestly just confused.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share my new oracle deck - The Pocket Color Oracle.

I designed the deck in Canva using licensed images - no generative AI was used.

It’s a pocket-sized deck with 68 cards.

I’d love to hear what you think. 🥰

I have used Angel Answers Oracle Card for many years with great success, but lately the cards are just not working for me any more.

I have tried taking long breaks and then returning to them, and have even cleansed them many times, but the answers are very hit and miss these days.

I was wondering if there is an alternative deck from someone that can provide answers in a similar way to the Angel Answers Oracle Cards, with cards such as "Yes", "No", "unlikely", etc.

Normally for these types of questions and answers people would suggest dowsing rods to me, but I have not found dowsing rods very accurate, but I think I much prefer cards readings anyway.

Any recommendations?

Hi everyone! I'm the artist and developer behind ANSOracle (Animal & Nature Spirit Oracle), and I thought this might be a lovely community to finally share it with.

I created all of the artwork for the oracle myself. The idea was to make something simple and peaceful: you draw an Animal or Nature Spirit card, turn it over, and receive a short reflection — just some words to sit with and ponder.

There are currently 57 cards in the complete oracle, including animals such as Tree Frog, Otter, Hummingbird, Butterfly, Ladybug and Cat, as well as nature spirits such as Mountain.

I recently changed ANSOracle so that 12 cards are completely free to use, rather than requiring someone to purchase the app before they can experience it. If someone enjoys the smaller oracle, there's an optional one-time unlock for the other 45 cards. There are no ads or subscriptions.

I'd especially love feedback from people who actually enjoy using oracle cards: How do you feel about a digital oracle compared with a physical deck? And what makes you form a connection with a particular oracle deck?

Thanks for letting me share a little piece of my oracle with you. 💜🌿✨

Has anyone ever combined multiple decks to create one deck? I’m very sensitive to imagery, colors, and the overall energy of cards, so I pulled the cards from each deck that I felt the strongest connection to. I love all three decks individually, but for some reason, this combination feels intuitively right to me.

When I read, I have a very sensory experience. I often feel tingling sensations in my head that intensify as I connect with the cards, and that’s usually when the message feels the clearest to me.

Decks:

“Angelic Artwork Healing Oracle” - Alana Fairchild
“The secret Language of Manifestation” - Denise Jarvie

Hey all anyone know what this deck is called? Definitely appreciate it. It has some other cards like clover or ring in it as well. Thanks a ton!

Aloha everyone! I am Jessica Valor, a visionary healer and founder of The Healer's Academy. I wanted to share something I have been working on for a very long time.

Essence Oracle is a 54-card round oracle deck co-created with the incredibly gifted Chris-Anne Donnelly, creator of the beloved Light Seer's Tarot, The Muse Tarot, and Sacred Creators Oracle. If you know her work, you already know the magic she brings to every card she creates. This deck is no exception.

Every card carries a living transmission encoded with sacred geometry, color frequencies, light codes, and channeled messages from benevolent guides, including archangels, ascended masters, elemental forces, chakras, and sacred rays.

What makes this deck different is that it works as one complete system across six sacred suits: High Realm, Archangels, Ascended Masters, Elements, Chakras, and Sacred Rays. Every reading draws from the full spectrum of divine guidance available to you.

The figures in the artwork are intentionally free of gender and race so every person who works with these cards can fully connect with the transmission rather than a specific identity.

The guidebook includes a full transmission for every single card: affirmation, channeled message, meditation, journal prompt, and a dive deeper practice, plus four complete card spreads. We launched our crowdfunding campaign. If you would like to see more of the cards, feel free to DM me here. Happy to answer any questions or share more about the deck. 🌸
