The Art of Divination: How to Use Tarot and Oracle Cards for Insight and Guidance




Divination is the practice of exploring the future or what is hidden through supernatural and spiritual mediums. Tarot and oracle cards are widely known as divination tools that can assist and offer insight and spiritual guidance to those that seek it using these methods.


Choose Your Deck

There are many different tarot and oracle decks available, each with its own unique symbolism and energy. Choose a deck that resonates with you, whether it's based on a theme or a particular artist. Take your time and research different decks before making a decision, as it's important to have a strong connection with your cards.


Clear Your Energy and Set Your Intentions

Before using your tarot or oracle cards, it's important to clear your energy and set your intentions. You can do this by taking a few deep breaths, lighting a candle, and focusing on your intention for the reading. This helps to create a sacred space and prepare your mind for the insights and guidance you will receive.


Shuffle Your Cards

Shuffling your cards is an important step in the divination process. It helps to clear any previous energy from the deck and prepares the cards for your question. You can shuffle your cards in any way that feels comfortable to you, whether it's a traditional shuffle or a more intuitive method. You can also ask a question or set an intention while shuffling.


Choose Your Spread

A spread is a specific layout of the cards that corresponds to a particular question or situation. There are many different spreads to choose from, ranging from simple three-card spreads to more complex ones. Choose a spread that resonates with your question or intention, and lay out the cards accordingly.


Interpret the Cards

Interpreting the cards is the heart of the divination process. Each card has its own unique symbolism and meaning, and the way they are arranged in the spread can provide insight and guidance. It's important to go at your own pace when channeling insights from your guides, so take your time to connect with your intuition. You can also refer to guidebooks or online resources for additional insight.


Reflect and Take Action

After interpreting the cards, take some time to reflect on the insights and guidance you have received. What resonates with you? What insights are you gaining? Use this information to take action in your life, whether it's making a decision or simply gaining a deeper understanding of your situation.
