How to use oracle cards
1. Find a deck that you resonate with. There are different themes, different types of artwork. Choose what you connect with. They can be bought on Amazon or you can use an app on your phone. (Highly recommend decks by: Denise Linn or Colette Baron Reid)
2. Create a sacred space and process. Treat the cards as sacred in that you take good care of them and keep them somewhere special. Center yourself with breath and prayer before you begin to work with the cards. Set up a space that is clutter free and worthy of a divination tool. Be open to an adventure with magic.
3. Ask a question.
Example: What do I need to know in this moment for my highest good? What do I need to know about…
This is not for use with yes or no questions
4. Pull card(s)
There are many different ways to do a reading. You can choose one card or three cards etc. Each deck has different suggested spreads. You can always go with one card.
There are no right or wrong ways to pick a card. Find a process that feels comfortable for you.
Some options:
a) Pick a number and then pick a card that is that number from the top, middle, or bottom.
b) Shuffle the cards and then slide them until you feel an energetic connection to the card on top and feel like you should stop.
c) Spread the cards on the table and pick the card that attracts your attention visually. Anyway that you connect to the vibration of the card is good
5. Once you have a card or cards that you are going to use:
a) Look at the card (s) and see what you feel in your body
b) What do you connect with visually in the card
c) What the card brings up for you on all levels: physically, emotionally, spiritually, thoughts, and visually.
d) You can journal about what you are thinking and feeling.
e) After experiencing the card, go and look up the card in the manual that comes with the deck and see what the author writes is the suggested meaning for the card.
Enjoy your adventure!
Sparks of Wisdom from Glenn
1. Carpe momentum seize the moment of who you are right now. This gives you an opportunity to look into your subconscious and see the illusion of the limits and explode them because you know you are Divinely protected.
2. Romance the moment. Love each moment of your life. Every experience/ moment offers more information about yourself if you are willing to look in.
3. Oracle cards help you to observe what's happening in the moment.
