How to Apply Oracle & Tarot Cards To Your Everyday Life

At first, many people start using tarot cards and oracle cards out of curiosity rather than pure utility. It can take time to learn how each deck works and if it fits your personality and life themes well. If you’re interested in diving deeper into your card reading practices, you might be wondering how you can take your readings to the next level by applying them to your daily life.

Oracle cards and tarot cards work differently for everyone, and each person has unique needs and desires for their outcomes when doing readings. It’s important to fully understand what each deck offers as a resource as well as its limitations.

Let’s talk about the difference between the two and how to apply your readings!

What’s the Difference Between Oracle Cards and Tarot Cards?

Not many people inexperienced with divination realize that oracle card decks and tarot card decks are two very different things. While tarot cards have been around for centuries — some say originating in the 1500s — oracle cards were a more recent invention that came about when tarot cards started to lose popularity. Now, both have found their revival in the Hippie and New Age Movements of the 1900s and are often used side-by-side in divination practice.

Tarot cards are much more structured and follow specific standard rules. They derive from the playing cards used as early as the 1300s that we still recognize today — the 52-card deck made of 4 suits and numbered cards that we play and gamble with. Tarot cards now have kept their structure but look different than playing cards. They have their own imagery originating in mythology and religious icons, and while they are still numbered and suited, the suits and numbers are quite different.

Oracle cards, on the other hand, are much more free-spirited. There are no real standards to the number of cards in the deck, suits, or imagery used. There are also no set rules across the board for how to interpret the cards. While any tarot card deck can be picked up and read effectively by anyone, each oracle card deck comes with its own guidebook that teaches you how to read it.

Choosing Tarot Cards, Oracle Cards, or Both

Some people involved in divination prefer one kind of deck over the other. Some choose to use both. Tarot cards have a very specific structure and standard rules, so they often help with much more detailed readings that users feel comfortable entrusting their goals with. Oracle cards can be much more interpretive, as users can soul search for the correct deck that fits their personalities and needs, and provide more big ideas and bird’s-eye-view readings than tarot cards.

For example, someone looking to have a very positive, good vibe experience with readings might choose an oracle deck that guides the user through more optimistic readings. On the other hand, someone looking for a straight-shooter-truth-type reading with detailed outlooks might choose a tarot card deck, which will not spare anyone from its strict interpretations.

The third alternative is to use oracle cards and tarot cards together! Many people involved in divination enjoy using oracle cards to start off reading because the cards chosen can set the tone and point out big ideas. Then, they’ll move on to the tarot cards to get more details.

At the end of the day, using oracle cards and tarot cards is a personal journey, so you should experiment with different decks and combinations to see what works best for you.

Everyday Use of Tarot Cards and Oracle Cards

Both for the sake of practicing reading the decks and of establishing a consistent, helpful practice, you should commit to using your decks every day. Try using your oracle cards, tarot cards, or a combination of the two during your daily ritual, whether that’s along with your meditations, prayers, yoga, or any other spiritual practices you have. It’s best to at least start off the day this way so that you can get in touch with yourself and cleanse your energy to take on the day ahead. You can also close out each day at night with a follow-up practice.

Set Your Intentions

Before you do anything, you’ll want to set your intentions. There are many different reasons why someone might feel they need to establish a daily routine of ritual and prayer, and these reasons can change over the course of one’s life. It’s possible that you are seeking healing, whether that’s emotional, psychological, or spiritual. Or maybe you have a very pressing, difficult situation in which years have been lost to frustration, stress, confusion, and even guilt. Maybe you have huge goals, whether that’s with our career, your faith, or your self-development.

No matter what your reasons are, you’ll need to make them known to your divination tools. Knock on your deck before each session to connect your energy with the cards. Keep your mental focus on your intentions as you shuffle the cards.

Decide On a Way to Read the Cards

Oracle cards have no set ways of reading, so it’s fully up to you how you use them. The guidebook that came with the deck might offer suggestions. The most popular way to read both oracle and tarot cards is to set them up into past, present, and future categories. If you are using oracle cards to set the tone for a tarot card reading, this is certainly helpful as the past, present, and future oracle cards can give you a large view of the categories while the tarot readings can give you more details into each.

Become Familiar With the Cards to Intuit Meaning

Readings are not simple. Building a relationship and connection with your decks is extremely important to interpreting what each card means as it comes up during your sessions. At first, it can be overwhelming to see all the imagery, symbols, and numbers. Over time, you’ll begin to understand each card on a deep level and more quickly understand what the deck is communicating.

At first, using the guidebook for oracle card decks can really help to get your footing, but it’s important to remember that these guides are from the author’s perspective. Ultimately, the cards will build a relationship with you and create their own meanings that specifically apply to your spiritual connection with them. That’s when you know it’s time to stop using the author’s guide as a crutch.

Applying Your Card’s Message to Your Day

If you are practicing full readings every day, then you will gain a wealth of knowledge and insight into yourself and your journey. Tarot cards and oracle cards can help you readjust the way you are handling a situation, work through emotions you’ve been struggling with, or even point out things that you hadn’t been paying attention to before.

For example, my unique card deck – The Personality Cards – comes with a guidebook that helps interpret different facets of the human personality. Each personality trait has its own card, and the user can pull cards and use the coinciding meditation in the guidebook to dive deep into themselves and evaluate how they have journeyed through life, how they can improve, and the possibilities for their future.

Some people even use oracle cards as affirmations for their day. They might pick a single card and use it as the main message to focus on, apply to themselves, and facilitate growth.

REMEMBER!

Tarot cards and oracle cards do not provide “answers” in the way we might believe or want them to. Instead, they are tools for meditation and guidance. Each card can help us see ourselves with clearer eyes, cleanse ourselves of pain we’ve been gripping onto for far too long, and help us heal and move on to bigger and better things.

Ultimately, using these divination tools can help us break out of our limited view of reality and see things for what they truly are and how expansive the Universe truly is. The cards do not make us better people — we make ourselves better people through the use of these incredible tools!

The 5 Most Interesting Emerging Religions in the World

What is our purpose? Why am I here? What created the universe? These burning questions have puzzled humanity since the dawn of our existence, and it’s no wonder that, thousands of years later, we still quest for these answers, both on an individual level and with one another. We thirst for unknown knowledge and unlocking the great mysteries of the universe. So, it’s no surprise that new belief systems will pop up, providing new answers to age old questions.  Here are some of the most interesting emerging religions that are being embraced around the world. Perhaps, you’ll even find one that connects you!

Hinduism

As one of the world’s oldest religions, Hinduism is one of the most interesting for its diverse systems of thought and the concept of karma.  In Hinduism, karma refers to the notion that the sum of one person’s action in their current and previous lives will dictate their fate in future lives. Gurus, or leaders, are central figures of Hinduism, acting as teachers who will guide students into a path of spiritual enlightenment.

Amma, born as Mata Amritanandamayi, is a Hindu leader and is also known as the Hugging Saint.  Her mission is to comfort the entire world by extending the love she has through outward physical actions.  She does so through her worldwide tours where she embraces every single one of her audience members.

From a young age, Amma encountered intense poverty and suffering in her community.  While Amma believed in the Hinduism teaching that individual suffering is caused by one’s own karma, she rejected the notion that this justified the inaction from others to improve the situations of the suffering individuals. Instead, the root teaching of Amma is that love is expressed through compassion for oneself and others, and not judging others for their situations in life.

Happy Science

Happy Science is an emerging religion from Japan that was founded by Ryuho Okawa in 1986.  A combination of Buddhism and Christianity, followers of this faith believe in the God of the Earth, who is named El Cantare.

The underlying philosophies of Happy Science are the Fourfold Path and the Exploration of the Right Mind. The Fourfold Path is a set of guidelines to achieve happiness that transcends the material world, focusing on embracing love, the pursuit of wisdom, deep self-reflection, and positive progress.  The Exploration of the Right Mind is based upon the achievement of upward spiritual growth, where the spirit world communicates with us, providing guidance and enlightenment while living in our current world.

Caodaism

Caodaism is an emerging religion from Vietnam founded by Ngô Văn Chiêu in 1926 after he received a vision from the Divine Eye.  Caodaism (or Cao Đài) comes from the phrase Đại Đạo Tam Kỳ Phổ Độ, which translates to  “The Third Great Universal Religious Amnesty.”  This third amnesty is believed by to be the unification of God and humanity, establishing a new faith for the salvation of all living beings before the destruction of the universe.  The mission of Cao Dai priests is to guide humanity into the path of the Third Amnesty to bring all of humanity together as a universal family to achieve peace.

The core principle of Caodaism is that all religions are one and the same, and that they consist of these five tenets:

• • •         A moral perspective – for an individual to be responsible for their duties towards themselves, their family, their society, and universe.
    •         A philosophical perspective – for individuals to renounce material items to achieve spiritual tranquility of the soul.
    •         A reverend perspective – for individuals to prescribe the adoration of God, Divine Beings, and ancestors.
    •         A spiritual perspective – for all individuals to live in harmony with other religions to ensure the survival beyond the physical world.
    •         An initiation perspective – for worthy adherents to be able to reach happiness.

Prince Phillip Movement

On the tiny island of Vanautu, east of Australia, a unique religious movement is followed by the Kastom people, called the Prince Philip Movement.  The main belief is that Prince Phillip is their God.  For most of Vanautu’s history, the Katom people believed that the son of the Earth spirit had left their island to marry a powerful woman across the sea and that the son would one day return to the island.

During Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Polynesia in 1974, the Kastom natives observed how much respect and reverence was given to the royals, and this led to their belief that Prince Philip was the Earth spirit they were waiting for.  Since the visit, the royal family has had several interactions with the tribe, offering them gifts and even inviting them to Britain.

Followers of the Prince Philip Movement celebrate his birthday on June 10^th each year with dancing and singing.  When Prince Philip passed away in April of 2021, the village people spent several weeks mourning him.  This included ritualistic dancing, formal procession, and spoken tributes dedicated to the late Prince Philip.

Raëlism

Founded in France in the 1970’s by Claude Vorilhon, Raëlism (or Raël), is fascinating addition to emerging religions is founded on the belief that an extraterrestrial species named “Elohim” exists here on Earth.  The Elohim are anti-pacifists who do not wear clothes and are permitted to engage in acts of free love with each other, which is what the primary teachings of Raël are based on. It is a faith that is rooted primarily in antiwar, topless rights, and sexual self-determination. Occasionally, Raël will be involved in advocating for social issues that they strongly believe in that aligns with the primary teachings of the religion.

Our quest for purpose is uniquely our own, but we can find meaning from the teachings of others, especially emerging religions. When we welcome new ideas and beliefs, we leave so much room for personal growth and spiritual development. Self-discovery is a path that, if you’re brave enough to take, can have profound, life-changing impact on us. We just have to be ready to listen to what these philosophies and belief systems want to share with us. By embracing love and compassion, we can glean remarkable insights from others in our community and allow for us to grow into the best versions of ourselves.

When we are introspective and look inward, that’s when we can have our most profound growth outward. When we understand what personality type we are, and can connect that type to the ancient wisdom of the tarot archetypes, we can learn more about ourselves and others that can help us all navigate our lives. Learning about ourselves in this way can be beneficial in our journeys of self-discovery, by shedding light on our traits that are crucial to how we interact with both the inner and outer worlds. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of methods that are out there to help us identify aspects of our personalities, so how do you know which one is best for you? There are many powerful methods that you can use, but what if you could use two of the most common to find something even more compelling about yourself? Enter the modern-day psychological approach of the Myers-Briggs Personality Types and the archetypes of the tarot card deck.

By understanding your Myers-Briggs type, you can find your soul card (the one that corresponds to a card in the tarot Minor Arcana), which will allow you insight into your daily life.

Let’s look at what we can learn about ourselves using these two tools!

The Myers-Briggs Personality Types

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test is a scientific tool that can help you figure out your personality type by looking at four key trait categories that we all possess and within them, the dichotomies that are present.  There are 16 potential types made up of the various combinations of the four trait categories, all of which help to describe how we perceive the world and make decisions. By knowing this, we can further explore and understand our personalities.

The four categories can be explained as follows:

• • • Do you prefer to focus on the outer world or the inner world? Extroversion (E) vs Introversion (I)
    • Do you prefer to interpret and add meaning to information you take in or rather just focus strictly on the information you’re receiving? Intuition (N) or Sensing (S)
    • When making decisions, do you prefer to use logic or at the special circumstances? Feeling (F) or Thinking (T)
    • When you deal with the outside world, do you prefer to get things decided or do you like to stay open to new information and other options? Judging (J) or Perceiving (P)

Using your preferences for each category or your test results, you can come up with a four-letter acronym that corresponds to your personality, such as ISFJ.

The Minor Arcana

In tarot mythology, the Minor Arcana cards represent aspects of our daily lives and how it is affecting us. They represent are interactions, experiences, thoughts and emotions as we encounter situations in our lives. The archetypes of the Minor Arcana are suit cards; the Suit of Cups, the Suit of Pentacles, the Suit of Swords and the Suit of Wands, which each corresponding to its own type of traits and themes.

The Court of the Minor Arcana- the Page, Knight, King and Queen cards- are representative of ourselves and contains aspects of our personality. There are 16 court cards of the Minor Arcana and each, you guessed it, corresponds to a Myers-Briggs personality type.

There are times when we search for answers on our own, but we can’t find the clarity within ourselves to find what we’re looking for. The good news is, is that there are things out there that can guide us when we need it, like tarot or oracle cards, but a deck of cards that can be even more powerful are Personality Cards. Whether you’re looking for some introspective answers, or wanting to share beliefs or feelings with your friends and family, Personality Cards can help you explore your whole being and provide some inspiration along the way.

The Birth of Personality Cards

Personality Cards were developed by Paul Wagner, with the goal to create an inspiring, modern and unique set of oracle cards that can help guide you in any aspect of your daily life.  Personality Cards come in a beautifully designed box with 78 well-illustrated cards and a booklet to help the user understand the meaning of each card. Similar to tarot cards, each Personality Card represent a metaphor for various people that we’ve met in our lives, designed to provide insight into your relationships, inspire you and allow you to look inward and find the clarity you need to be happy and at peace.

Here we explore the meaning of each of the cards and how you can use them to help guide you:

The Lover

This Personality Card embraces unconditional love, which is the purest universal vibration of energy. The Lover does not conform to the worldly habits of desire, passion, romance, projections, or need. Instead, the Lover recognizes and accepts that they embody love  themselves, instead of seeking love in other people. Therefore, despite the complexity of our lives, it is important to allow ourselves to receive nourishment and healing from the Universe where love is deeply implanted. The Lover card’s message is to be the love you want to see in other people. It all starts with you, the Lover.

The Bumble Bee

The Bumble Bee represents kind-heartedness and self-reliance. They are open-minded crafters, who enjoy sharing their work and are not afraid to go that far from home, as they also enjoy the rewards that come with the exploration. The Bumble Bee reminds us that it is best to open our minds to every possibility and free our imaginations, be present and aware, take risks and let go of the need to be in control. Only then will you relax and experience simple and clear joy.

The Feeler

The Feeler is a sensitive soul; sensitive to vibrations, words, thoughts, and sounds. They are very insightful in transforming dynamics and processes and helping people with something as small as a glance, gesture, or even a word. The Feeler believes that if you want to understand yourself and human nature, then you must practice empathy. You should practice compassion and empathy in any situation you find yourself in. You will only get to see from every perspective because you will be in harmony with everything around you. This approach will help you find the best action to take for any situation. The Feeler encourages us to be open to the energies around us, but not forget to respect our boundaries and those we want to connect with.

The Righteous Beast

The Righteous Beast is a personality that leans toward aggressiveness and assertiveness. A reminder that, at times, you require aggression to get what you want in life. You need to defend your dreams even when they seem absurd to others and what you believe in without bowing to any external pressure. The Righteous Beast encourages you to channel your focus and embrace your authentic self. Get rid of whatever is trying to restrict and confine you, the conditions limiting you from achieving what you want. We are often too scared to get out of our comfort zone, but this personality card urges us to go beyond our comfort zone and explore our most tremendous potential. It is a reminder that to attain greatness; you require internal toughness.

The Influencer

The Influencer believes that being generous, through sharing and being helpful, is valuable when it comes to sharing information. The Influencer is charismatic and bright, encouraging others to express themselves, constantly coming up with new concepts, and can easily persuade you to like the person you are. This Personality Card also urges you to be keen on the readily available resources because they will help augment your well-being and wealth. Since the Influencer aims to impress through their speeches, clothes, and appearances, being associated with them might also improve how people view you, say elevation by association! The Influencer urges us to be generous givers with no expectations and not have a high opinion on popularity and position.

The Floating

The Floating is charming, charismatic and endearing, who makes us inherently feel safe when we’re around them. They are sweet and warm, but connecting with them is a challenge because they never seem to be grounded in one place. Touching the ground would mean establishing roots in one place, and this is something they find hard to do. The Floating flirts and flatters, but before it gets any deeper, they fly away. The message here is an encouragement to learn commitment, give yourself a chance to touch the ground, and establish roots to learn things like focus and loyalty. This way, your life is guaranteed to change.

The Hedonist

For the Hedonist, life is defined as pleasure, desire and anything with a sensory input. The Hedonist is very sensual, adventurous, and asks us to question the status quo and to expand our perceptions of what we think we want in life. At times, we are bound by how we perceive things, and we become rigid to change, and instead choose a path in life that in fact imprisons our authentic selves.  The Hedonist is reminding us that it is okay to want pleasure; after all, we are human. And, allowing ourselves to experience all this is a way to heal parts of us that want to be nurtured and seen.

The Mystical

The Mystical acts as a bridge between the physical form and the spirit, and taps into the spiritual and biological aspects passed down from generation to generation. The Mystical acts as a messenger by inviting your ancestors and guides to speak to you through them. They are open-hearted, intuitive, loving, and usually very committed to helping you cultivate clarity and happiness in your lives. This is a call to be open to receiving what the Universe is trying to communicate to you. Do not shut the doors and windows to your heart and soul to experience the energy that is vibrating around you. Let the current flowing within you embrace the forces around it and be inspired by them.

The Comedian

The Comedian is an inventive and wildly dark Shaman. Society has a lot of beliefs, philosophies, and perceptions that limit what people can do. In these beliefs, some falsehoods have been created over the years and instilled in us, so much so that they have become part of the truth. The Comedian wants you to challenge these misconceptions and false narratives; there are so many illusions that we have created in and among us, and it is high time we get rid of them too. The truth will always set you free from mental prisons, limiting beliefs that have held us captive so long that we cannot see ourselves. The Comedian wants you to strive for awareness to deconstruct all the false narratives, find the truth, and eventually find your freedom.

The Cuddler

The Cuddler wants you to experience healthy physical and emotional intimacy. They are a very affectionate soul who encourages you to get in touch with your feelings and not shut them out. They understand how valuable affection is and its power in shifting one’s mood. A small gesture like a hug or a massage goes a long way in healing a fractured or wounded heart or spirit. There is no shame in asking for a hug or a simple action like holding hands, we yearn to feel love and affection, and it is good to let yourself be loved and experience affection. The Cuddler also warns about overdependence on touch because this can limit your growth; instead, strike a balance to ensure you have a healthy attachment to others. It is also a reminder that while we expect and yearn for intimacy with others, we should practice self-love, feed our bodies, minds, and souls with love, and let that mirror how we want to be loved. There is nothing wrong with wanting affection; embrace it because that makes us human.

The Serpentine

The Serpentine is very conniving, lustful and hungry in a way that is not beneficial to you and those around you. They are very mischievous, crafty, and sneaky. The Serpentine is also very manipulative and will show you what you always desire, trick you into what you always crave, and pushes you to be selfish so that you can reveal your secrets. This card encourages us to look inside ourselves and improve what we believe, what we desire, our motivations, and what we pledge allegiance to because the Serpentine will bring out the worst in us. It does not serve us to be devilish; we need to embrace honesty, balance our desires, hunger, and ambitions so that they do not lean towards selfishness, and strive to make our desires good so that in case we are visited by the Serpentine, he does not take away the goodness in you and consume it with mischief, craftiness, and selfishness.

The Awakened

Is also called the One Who Comes into the State of Oneness, the embodiment of the spirit, energy, soul, light, force, and physical. There is no way to separate any of these elements because they are woven together in something; you! The Awakened reminds us that we are loved, and we are love; therefore, we should practice commanding love even in situations that seem impossible to teach love. The Awakened encourages us to move swiftly from one challenge to another with consciousness. Even when it seems impossible, we should not forget to practice love because it will bring miracles and light. In a world that is often very cruel, the Awakened reminds us that we should not join the cruel bandwagon to spread cruelty; instead, we learn to see ourselves in the highest life, which begins by commanding love and believing that we are love and deserve love.

The Shifter

The Shifter challenges us to change our patterns and encourages us to grow. We are always stuck in the same place with the same things out of habit with the fear of venturing into unfamiliar territories. However, being in a routine dims our innovations, creativity, and inspiration. Therefore, the Shifter wants us to step out of our routines, be daring enough to embrace the wild where we still have no formed habit, explore what is out there, and be open to inviting change in every aspect of our lives because change is inevitable and is at times exactly what we need.

The Silent

The Silent knows the value of sitting in our thoughts, in the quiet, connecting with the eternal as they find peace in the silence. Our everyday lives are filled with so much going on; at times, we must be still, keep quiet and find peace in the silence. You will quickly and easily feel tranquility if you maintain silence and practice meditation; the journey to serenity will be longer if you do not silence your mind and constantly keep analyzing things. Silence is golden, and this personality card reminds us to exercise it, make room for the Universe, deepen ourselves, and find quick, amicable, and reasonable answers to our problems.

The Healer

The Healer is pure and clear; they help others soothe the vibrations by holding intentions of flow and rejuvenation. To be like the Healer, you must accept vulnerability and not be afraid. We often build high walls around us to prevent others see us in our vulnerable states. Still, the Healer reminds us that light and sound are foundational elements of creation and make up physical matter, thoughts, and emotions. Souls embody love frequencies in their purest forms, and therefore, we need to allow external expansiveness to flow through us and align love and light with healing fractures. It is a reminder to allow ourselves to be vulnerable; only then will our prayers be answered, and we will find peace.

The Family Fable

The Family Fable loves and adores family. They use ancestral stories to validate his beliefs and desires and does well when their family thrive. The Family Fable reminds us that there are a lot of good values that we can pick from; however, the Family Fable warns us that, at times, the family can be destructive, and we have to pay attention to that. Some of us are in toxic family relationships without even realizing it. While to some, it is uncommon for a family to be wrong or toxic, we need to acknowledge that there is no picture-perfect family and at times, what is draining the zeal of life out of you is your family. You may also be picking up negative traits from them that make you toxic to others. Therefore, evaluate which family aspects are helping you grow and which ones are not.

The Harness

The Harness is a leader who wants the team members to put their skills to good use and strives to inspire them through language to help them enjoy and invest in working together for the common good. They aim to ensure collaboration and bring people together. The Harness can help teams realize their full potential, even those that seem to be mediocre. They tap into the passion and expertise of every team member with courage. They realize that people can achieve a lot if they work together; two heads are better than one, and therefore, they will succeed with each team player having a specific task custom to their area of expertise. The Harness is a reminder that collaborations bring out the best in everyone; they are very productive and ease one’s mind off doing all the work themselves. If you want to go far, walk with others.

The Whimsical

The Whimsical is a light-hearted soul who believes in the path to your freedom through magic and playfulness. It is never that serious; therefore, the Whimsical chooses playfulness over everything. They see through the barriers you have created and goes straight to the heart of the matter. We often set many boundaries and restrictions that limit us from being who we are. These restrictions cage us in a box and deny us our freedom. But the Whimsical reminds us that there is a whole world of infinite possibilities outside our cocoons. Sticking to what we know and not willing to explore anything else that is out there makes us miss out on the gift of magic that is ever present around us. This card urges you to relax, let loose, exert yourself beyond your cocoon, and see yourself expand, take that leap of faith.

We can all learn more form ourselves and others by using divination. When we ask the universe for answers, and we open ourselves up to the possibilities, we can find deeper meaning in ways we never would have dreamed.
