Top 10 Benefits of Using Oracle Decks for Spiritual Development.

Oracle cards have been used for centuries as a tool for receiving answers from the Divine. They are a powerful tool that can offer guidance, insight, and direction, and they have many benefits that can help you on your spiritual journey.

What Are Oracle Cards

Before we get into the benefits of oracle cards, it's a good idea to first get familiar with what are oracle cards in the first place.

Also called tarot cards albeit with some slight differences, these are usually focused on expressing the energies of archetypes.

A typical tarot card structure of 78 cards does not apply to oracle cards. Oracle cards might be a collection of as little as 22 cards or as extensive as 88 cards in a deck.

Oracle decks have a variety of artwork that you won't see in tarot, which gives them more potential for intuitive storytelling. Just take a look at the Self-Care Oracle Cards as an example to see what we mean. Additionally, depending on the oracle developer, oracle cards are typically larger or smaller than the standard tarot measurements. That is because oracle cards are exempt from tarot's regulations. They all bring additional depth and specifics to readings because they are all unique.

In Latin, 'orare' means 'to speak' and in ancient Greece, an 'oracle' was someone who was seen as a messenger and communicator with the Divine. This means Oracle Cards are a medium through which the Divine speaks with us.

Consider oracle cards as seasonings for a meal. Since oracle cards typically come with informative guidebooks that help translate the meaning built into the oracle from its developer, they're excellent for novices starting to use spiritual tools providing insight and understanding about whatever it is we are curious about.

Tarot, on the other hand, like Tarot of the Golden Wheel, is lengthy, subtle (think highly esoteric and symbolic), and deeply based in history definitive meaning, which is why oracle cards are typically simpler to interpret and more popular today.

Top 10 Benefits of Using Oracle Cards

Now that you know about oracle cards and how they differ from tarot cards, it's time to dive into 10 of their greatest benefits.

Receive Guidance & Direction

Oracle cards provide guidance and direction when you are feeling lost or uncertain about something in your life. They can help you tap into your intuition and inner wisdom that's already innately within you via your Inner Being/Higher Self, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your situation.

Connect With Your Higher Self

As we just alluded to, oracle cards can help you connect with your Higher Self. This means going beyond the 3D persona that you identify with and directly connecting with the wisdom of your true essence and its full consciousness. Oracle decks can serve as a bridge between the physical and spiritual planes, allowing you to access higher levels of consciousness and receive guidance from not only your inner wisdom but also other aware and evolved beings.

Tool for Personal Evolution

These amazing cards can be used as a tool for conscious evolution, personal growth, and self-improvement. By regularly using the cards and reflecting on their messages, you can gain a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and identify areas where you need to work on yourself.

Overcome Limiting Beliefs

Oracle messages can help you overcome limiting beliefs and patterns that are holding you back in some way. By exploring the messages of the cards, you can gain a new perspective on your perceived problems and uncover new ways to overcome them.

Direct Insight for Specific Issues

The cards can also provide you with insight and guidance on specific questions or issues you are facing. This is a very common task people give to this spiritual tool because we all have our share of confusing circumstances we find ourselves in. Whether you are dealing with a difficult relationship (or lack thereof), a career change, or a personal crisis, these cards can offer valuable insight and guidance.

Develop Intuitive & Psychic Abilities

Oracle cards can even help you develop or expand your intuition and psychic abilities! By regularly using the cards, you can strengthen your connection to the spiritual realm, Source, and your Higher Self, and increase your ability to receive intuitive guidance from all of these sources. Over time, you will also be able to discern between beings that are authentic and those posing as false light.

Tool for Meditation & Reflection

Oracle decks can be used as a tool for meditation and self-reflection as well. By focusing on the images (which can catalyze various activations within your consciousness and being) and messages of the cards, you can quiet your mind and tap into your inner wisdom that is always within you. The cards simply act as an easy medium with which to do so.

Go Deeper Into Your Experiences

Guidance cards can help you understand the deeper meaning of your experiences. By reflecting on the messages revealed on the cards, you can gain a new perspective on the events and situations in your life that you may not have been able to see from your usual position of awareness. You get to go deeper into those life experiences and gain expanded understanding of them.

Cultivate a Deeper Connection With Nature

Oracle cards can help you create a deeper connection to the natural world. By using decks that feature imagery of animals, plants, and natural landscapes, you can develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty and wisdom of Gaia, our mother from which we ultimately emerge and to which we inevitably return to.
