Frequently Asked Questions about Tarot and Oracle Decks
Q: Can I purchase my own Tarot or Oracle deck, or does it have to be gifted to me?
A: Absolutely! You can purchase your own Tarot or Oracle deck. There is no rule saying it has to be gifted to you. Many people enjoy choosing a deck that resonates with them personally.
Q: What's the difference between a Tarot deck and an Oracle Card deck?
A: While both Tarot and Oracle decks are used for divination, they have some key differences. A Tarot deck consists of 78 cards, divided into Major Arcana and Minor Arcana, each with its own symbolism and meanings. Oracle Card decks, on the other hand, can have any number of cards and themes, giving them more flexibility in interpretation.
Q: What should I do when I have a new deck?
A: When you have a new Tarot or Oracle deck, it's a great idea to spend some time getting acquainted with it. Take out each card, one by one, and observe the artwork and symbols. You can also read the guidebook that often comes with the deck to understand the meanings assigned to each card. This process helps you connect with the energy of the deck and establish a personal relationship with it.
Q: Do I have to sleep with my Tarot or Oracle deck under my pillow?
A: Not at all! Sleeping with your deck under your pillow is a personal choice, but it is not a requirement. You can find other ways to connect with your deck that feel comfortable and meaningful to you. Consider finding a special place to store your deck or incorporating it into your meditation or ritual practice.
Q: Will "bad things" happen to me if I use Tarot?
A: No, using Tarot or Oracle cards will not cause "bad things" to happen to you. These tools are simply a means of gaining insight and guidance. Tarot and Oracle decks themselves are not magical or cursed. They are tools for self-reflection and can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your life. You are ultimately the one who interprets the cards and shapes your own destiny.
