“An Oracle deck is a series of cards with images or words on them that can be used for divination, goal-setting, to lift your mood, or to connect with your intuition or a higher power.

A wonderful idea . Years ago I made a small deck of inspirational cards for the circle group I ran.. They held themes and words, that when picked the person would have to speak upon that theme or word for two minutes.. Two minutes is a long time when they were not used to standing up in front of others. 🙂
Many thanks for sharing Colleen , I have lost count of the decks I now have bought. 🙂 too many.. But my favourite of them all is still Aleister Crowley’s Troth Tarot Deck
Have a beautiful day you sisters of Fay! 🙂
❤ Sue 🙂

I never thought of making my own oracle cards. I’m not really artistic and they would look like a second-grader did them. 🙂 BUT, I do love my Oracle cards and I have several decks I work with. They always help guide and open your thoughts to other possibilities.

Okay, you go first. You are always on top of things and have a wonderful way of explaining. I think I might enjoy oracle cards more than tarot. I have a deck of tarot cards for years I struggled to work with. I’m liking the runes though. ❤

An interesting idea. I’m sure one must be in higher consciousness while creating the deck. Otherwise, who knows what chickens might be hatched! 🙂 ❤️

LOL! I would love to press wild flowers and create my own deck. You could use clear contact paper to hold everything together. Ah well, after all my writing is done. 😀 ❤
