How to Choose an Oracle Deck

Are you feeling drawn to the world of oracle cards but unsure where to begin? For more than half my life I have been using Oracle and Tarot Cards, whether it was for daily guidance for a specific problem or issue or reading for others. Either way, they have given me valuable insight into my self and the questioner.

Whether you're a seasoned intuitive or just starting your spiritual journey, oracle cards offer a gentle, insightful, and sacred way to connect with your higher self and spiritual team. Dependent upon the specific deck chosen, their messages can be uplifting and filled with positive. They can share deeply symbolic messages, or be a daily anchor of divine wisdom.

In this article, I will share how to begin your journey with oracle cards, build confidence in your readings, and explore how my own personal oracle decks can support your practice.

Step One: Choose the Right Oracle Deck
Start with a deck that resonates with you visually and energetically. My very first deck, Sacred Power Reading Cards are ideal for beginners. They feature vibrant imagery and empowering guidance. If you’re drawn to ancestral healing, the Sacred Spirit Reading Cards is deeply connected to higher realms and soul alignment. Choosing the deck that feels the most aligned with your heart and current needs is essential. 
Tip: Hold your chosen deck in your hands before purchasing (if possible), or close your eyes and ask, "Is this for my highest good?" Trust your intuition here. If it doesn't feel right....don't buy it. Hold a different deck and see what happens.

Step Two: Cleanse and Connect
Before your first reading, cleanse your deck of any external energy. You can do this by:
  • Smudging with sage or Palo Santo
  • Placing the deck under moonlight
  • Using sound (like a singing bowl or chime)

HOW TO CLEANSE & CHARGE YOUR CRYSTALS
Hold your deck to your heart and set an intention to connect with purity. Speak a blessing or affirmation:
"I open to divine guidance. May these cards speak clearly and lovingly."

Step Three: Start with One-Card Draws
Begin your practice with simple one-card pulls. Ask:
"What energy do I need to be aware of today?"
Pull a card and sit with the imagery, keywords, and message. Reflect on how it applies to your current situation.


Deck Suggestion: Sacred Power Reading Cards are perfect for daily one-card messages. Each card offers vibrant symbolism and uplifting insight.

Step Four: Trust Your Intuition
Don’t worry about memorising meanings—oracle reading is intuitive. Let your heart and inner knowing guide you. Over time, your connection will deepen.
  • Observe the imagery
  • Notice emotions or physical sensations
  • Write down your impressions before checking the guidebook
Try This: Ask your card, "What message do you have for me today?" Then journal your first impressions.
Step Five: Explore 3-Card Spreads
Once you feel comfortable, try a 3-card spread:
  • Past – What energy is passing?
  • Present – What energy is present now?
  • Future – What guidance lies ahead?
Use this spread during full moons, at the start of a week, or when seeking clarity on a challenge.

Deck Suggestion: Sacred Spirit Reading Cards are ideal for deeper readings that connect to soul growth, spiritual purpose, and higher wisdom.

Journal Prompts for Beginners:
  • What emotions arise when I pull a card?
  • How do the card’s messages reflect my life right now?
  • What guidance am I being invited to embody?

Reading oracle cards is a sacred dance between you and Spirit. It doesn’t require perfection—only presence and willingness. Each card is a mirror reflecting back your soul's truth. Let your deck become a trusted companion. With time, trust, and curiosity, your readings will become more fluid, insightful, and empowering.
