Oracle Cards

These are slightly different to tarot, many find them easier and more positive than the tarot, do you use oracle cards?

Hi Enigma,
I have several oracle decks, though I tend to use three of them together with a tarot deck by the same artist. They are the Druidcraft tarot, animal, tree and plant oracles. I also use a celtic tree oracle by someone else. These ones just really work for me and i love the artwork.

Hi Melanie,

I've got Druid Animal Oracle cards, are these the Animal cards you have? I know Kirsty reads these and she also has Druid Plant oracle cards too. I've just bought myself some Power Animal tarot cards. Feel very drawn to power animals at the moment. The Celtic tree cards sound fascinating.

Hi There,
may I ask what the differences are, between Oracle cards and Tarot. Are Oracle cards more about what the future holds? I work with the Tarot for my own use, and close friends. Would be interested in expanding my knowledge though..

Love debbie xx

Hi Pat,

I have the Druidcraft Animal and Plant oracles and also the Celtic Tree Oracle designed by Will Worthington, who designed the Druidcraft Tarot. I found the Tarot deck on its own in a second hand book shop, just showing the Ace of Wands, and had to have them. I use all four decks together in a reading sometimes to get a really good view of situations for the client. Ive not seen the Power Aniamls tarot but I will keep an eye out for them. My other favourite deck is the Ancestral Path deck.
Which animal are you drawn to?

Hi Melanie,

I've always felt very drawn to wolves. As I wrote in my Totem Animal post earlier, a few weeks ago I saw a horse and a bear in meditation and 10 days ago I saw a hare. Your cards sound fascinating, I love watching people use their own individual decks. I recently watched Kirsty read her Druid Animal cards for someone we knew, though I've had mine for a long time I never felt drawn to use them until then. The animal cards seem to have a gentleness and wisdom about them that I really like. I've got a pack of Herbal tarot which I find very gentle too, far more so than Ryder Waite. I really hope you'll share your knowledge and experience regarding your tarot and oracles Melanie, I'm sure members will find this invaluable.

Hi ladies

I use the Druid Plant and Animal Oracle cards - and the Druidcraft Tarot too like Melanie. Dreamer, I find the Tarot tend to be good for looking at people, situations and events - either past, present or future. So they are good for looking at the future eg whether you will get that job/guy/new house etc etc. I like the Oracle cards for different focusses of reading. For example I love the Animal cards for looking at personality, strengths and what career or lifestyle would suit the seeker. These are great for young people who might want a reading but when Tarot seems inappropriate. I'm working with the Plant cards to look more at health and wellbeing issues - and also have the Herbal Tarot Pat mentioned, which I'll use in the same way.

I've found I'm seeing animals a lot more for people when I'm doing readings, which is interesting.

I have some Tree and Ogham (Celtic alphabet/tree) Oracle cards which I haven't got started with yet too. So many cards, so little time lol!!
