Oracle Cards As A Divination Tool
Oracle cards are quite different from Tarot cards. They are easier and not as complex to read as the traditional Tarot, and there are a plethora of different oracle card decks available. Personally I own over 20 decks and I realize I have barely skimmed the surface of all of the versions available. To get started there are many reputable lists and rankings available online.
Oracle card creators represent different philosophies, traditions and belief systems, and therefore each deck is unique. Oracle card decks typically contain about 56 cards, or less. Each card has its own meaning. Oracle cards are typically prophetic and can be used for many different purposes.
I like to pull an oracle card every morning, just to give me an idea of the kind of day I will have. The nice thing about them is they do not need to be put in a specific spread the way one typically does when working with the Tarot. You can pull as many as you feel is best for you.

Tarot Cards And Toxic Relationships
If intuition is the foundation for being a psychic, then divination tools are like putting on glasses to see the details. Tarot cards can reveal a person’s real intentions and provide a bigger picture into any situation that requires clarity.
When I use the Tarot for a love or relationship reading, I look for specific cards or combinations that show harmony or growth within the relationship or person. Here is a list of cards that typically catch my eye as major red flags, or signal that the connection between two people may be toxic.
The Magician
This card can be positive when surrounded by complimentary cards, but it can indicate that the person you’re interested may be charming… but manipulative. I often see this show up when someone only wants to do what they want, or when they want to be with multiple people. Continue reading
Psychic Predictions Are Potentialities
I have had readings with psychics and mediums that are considered the best of the best, and some of their information and predictions did not always work out so well. But I have always understood from a spiritual perspective that this is something that can happen from time to time.
People usually contact a psychic or medium for reading because they have questions and concerns. They are looking for answers, for guidance and support. Most people are looking for advice and closure in times of strife or turmoil – to give them hope that the sun will indeed rise again tomorrow. Of course, many people also hope to receive predictions about future outcomes.
Trance, Transfiguration And Channeling
When an authentic psychic medium is doing a reading, they are entering into varying levels of trance, or altered states of consciousness, to access information from the Spirit realm. The Collins dictionary defines this as “a state of mind in which someone seems to be asleep and to have no conscious control over their thoughts or actions, but in which they can see and hear things and respond to commands given by other people.”
Each reader has their own process of making the connection and style of disseminating the information. Not only are psychic readers ‘seeing’ and ‘hearing’ things, and responding to commands from the Spirit side of life, but they are simultaneously also energetically connected with the client and walking between the two realms, namely that of the Spirit realm and the present moment.
Tarot Court Cards And The People In Your Life
A psychic might use the Tarot as a tool to ‘fine tune’ into the direction of the energies she sees around you and your question. The court cards in Tarot typically represent the people and personality energies in your reading.
The querent may for example ask the psychic about a certain love interest, or a situation at work. The way I read is that I tune into the question and see a certain person, or people, but then I may also do a Tarot spread to gain more details about them.
If many of the cards in the reading are court cards, it generally means that your question is much more complicated by the energies and presence of other people. For example, if you are interested in a certain new man, I would tune into the guy clairvoyantly and maybe see a man who is very interested in you. This may seem like great news on the surface, but sensing other energies, I might then lay out a love Tarot spread… and lo and behold, there might be two Queens, a Knight, and several Pages influencing the situation!
The Tarot As A Psychic Tool
There are basically to forms of psychic reading. Some readings are readings are done with the use of ‘tools,’ while others are done without. Psychics all have different abilities, for example some are clairvoyant, while others are clairaudient. Each psychic uses their own intuitive gifts to bring us messages from their guides and ours. I will further discuss these psychic abilities in a future blog.
Reading with tools is known as divination. The list of popular psychic tools is extensive. Tarot cards are probably the most well-known and widely used psychic tool. The Tarot has been around since the 18th century and is used for the purpose of divination, psychic prediction and contacting spirit guides. I use Tarot in my readings, as they guide me, almost like a road map. There are many classes and books available to learn more about Tarot and how to do cartomancy readings.
Applying Advice Correctly
Good ideas come not from going against, or trying to form contrary reactions. Good ideas come from intuition and instinct, those which feel natural in the sense of being able to nurture, rescue and look after oneself. Should the idea feel good to oneself, then it should be applied to others.
Does this sound obvious to you? Well, it is not always so. What I have found in offering advice, is that paid advice is usually the most helpful to my clients, as the person will then be more prone to follow the advice. They have made the effort to invest in it.
Should one perhaps listen to a teacher you do not like, or a neighbor or acquaintance you feel may frustrate you, then good advice can become harm. Why? Because they are trying to take well-meaning intuitive and instinctive rational efforts to obstruct the passage of someone else trying to live their life, and it may turn into gossip, or information with a bias. It can be seen as controlling, or meddling.
