ORACLE CARDS ARE THE NEW SELF-CARE
Hello beautiful souls! I want to share something close to my heart—oracle cards. These decks of wisdom have been a fascinating tool in my journey of self-reflection, introspection, and guidance. Unlike traditional tarot cards, oracle decks offer a unique and more flexible approach to tapping into our intuition. Let me take you through how they have enriched my life and how they can provide profound guidance for you too.
HOW MY JOURNEY BEGAN WITH ORACLE CARDS
Several years ago, at a retreat in Maui, Christine, who was the main facilitator, guided us through dance, meditation, and reflective sessions, each step aimed to unravel hidden fears. It was during a card reading session with Christine that everything crystallized. She spoke of these Oracle cards as guiding lights, not promising miracles or instant wealth, but urging me to trust my intuition and follow my unique path. Christine emphasized that she truly believed in the profound truth of these cards—she said the cards never lie; they simply unveiled what I needed to see and learn.
This revelation resonated deeply within me. I realized Oracle cards were not about predicting grandiose outcomes; they were mirrors reflecting our inner truths, guiding us to embrace our intuition and navigate life's intricate journey. Christine's words echoed in my soul—the cards would guide, but it was up to me to decipher their messages and find my way.
That transformative retreat in Maui became a catalyst, igniting my passion to create an Oracle deck—a tool not of fortune-telling, but of self-reflection and guidance, echoing the wisdom I uncovered during those soul-stirring moments.
CONNECTING WITH INTUITION
Using oracle cards is an empowering experience that allows us to connect with our intuition on a deep level. These decks often center around themes like love, astrology, or fairies, offering a personalized journey for each user. When I engage with oracle cards, it feels like I am having a profound conversation with my higher self. The imagery, words, or symbols on the cards serve as gentle nudges, guiding me to insights that might have otherwise eluded me.
What truly resonates with me about oracle cards is their inherent freedom and flexibility. Unlike traditional tarot decks, there are no strict rules to adhere to. Each oracle deck varies in the number of cards, style, and messages it presents. Their meanings can range from offering self-care advice to providing reflections on one's current path, future, or past experiences. This accessibility means that anyone can pick up an oracle deck and start using it without the need for extensive study or practice. While guidebooks are often included with decks to offer additional insights, it is ultimately our intuition that leads the way. This encourages a more instinctual and personal approach, allowing for a fluid interpretation of the cards' messages. What resonates with us one day may evolve or shift in meaning the next time we engage with the same card.
EMBRACING FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY
What I absolutely love about oracle cards is their freedom and flexibility. There are no strict rules to follow. All Oracle deck vary in number of cards and the style and the messages. Their meanings can range from self-care advice and also let you know where you are now, going and even reflecting where you have been This means anyone can use them without needing extensive study or practice. The guidebooks that come with most decks are helpful, but they are just that—guides. Ultimately, it is your intuition that leads the way. This encourages a more instinctual and personal approach, which I find incredibly liberating. What you see and read one day can be totally different the next time the same card is pulled again.
FINDING DAILY BALANCE AND CLARITY
Incorporating oracle cards into my daily routine has brought a sense of balance and clarity to my life. They offer a fresh perspective, allowing me to explore situations from different angles. Whether I am seeking guidance on a specific decision, trying to understand myself better, or simply looking for a bit of daily inspiration, the messages from the cards are always valuable. They help me to pause, reflect, and see things more clearly.
CREATIVE INSPIRATION AND ENERGY
Oracle cards are also a fantastic tool for connecting with creative energy. They have a way of sparking inspiration and focusing thoughts. Sometimes, all it takes is a single word or image from a card to ignite a new idea or shift my perspective. This connection to creative energy feels like a direct link to my inner voice, encouraging me to explore new possibilities and express myself more freely.
REDUCING STRESS
Using oracle cards has become a calming ritual for me. The simple act of shuffling the cards, drawing one, and reflecting on its message can significantly reduce stress and anxiety. It is a moment of mindfulness, a gentle conversation with my subconscious mind. This practice has helped me to stay grounded and centered, especially during challenging times.
CREATING MY OWN ORACLE DECK
About 14 months ago, I embarked on a new adventure—designing and creating my own oracle deck called "Soulful Guidance." This has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Pouring my heart and passion into creating something that can guide others has been incredibly rewarding. The feedback I have received has been amazing. People have told me that the Oracle cards and guidebook are exactly what they needed to hear and see. Many have told me that the images on each of the Oracle cards are exceptionally detailed, vibrant, and crystal clear. Watching others use my deck and letting their intuition guide them has been a beautiful and affirming experience.
SUMMARY

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, I believe that oracle cards can offer you the same benefits. They invite you to trust your instincts, explore your inner world, and connect with your higher self. Give them a try—you might be surprised by what you discover.
