Hi Y'all!
Are you ready to connect with your guides? Are you ready to trust your intuition on a whole new level? Are you ready to go deeper....

If so, I put together a quick 6 minute video explaining how to use oracle cards (spoiler...how ever you want to!).
Oracle cards are a guidance tool you can use daily or during times when you need a little more of a inner-compass support. Don't let the woo-woo or spookiness that has sometimes been associated with Tarot cards, deter you from using one of my favorite spiritual tools.
If you're wondering, "Taryn, how are tarot and oracle cards different?" I'd tell you that an awesome being (aka arcane mysteries.tumblr.com ) has summed it up pretty perfectly:
If you're still on board, check out my video and then feel free to peruse some of my favorites:
I've put links to online decks you can use for free and decks that you can purchase, if you feel called to do so. A quick search of "Oracle Cards" on Amazon will give you a slew of other choices, so explore and do what feels right :)
Free decks to use online:
Earth/Animal Oracle Reading: I LOVE this site because it give you 3 decks to choose from and they're all animal/earth based (think spirit animal decks!) I do prefer the single reading over the 3 card reading.
Simple Angel Reading- Use this simple reading by Doreen Virtue's deck! It's addicitive!!
EVERY ONLINE ORACLE DECK!- RainbowScribe has put together the mother-load of every oracle deck that is free online! Crystal oracles, love oracles, etc. etc. etc....! Check it out and find the deck that's right for you!
Physical decks I love and use:
Moon Deck - I was lucky enough to meet one of the creators and you can tell the passion and love they have for this deck! Plus, it comes in an amazing wooden box and each card actually includes a ritual or meditation you can use with it in the guidebook! Beautiful art, messages and healing.
Medicine Woman Deck- This is a Tarot deck, but I still use it as a one-card pull, oracle guidance deck :) The book gives you a short one or two-liner on what it represents. Short, sweet and beautiful pictures!
Angel Therapy Deck - A great one by Doreen Virtue that as she puts it: "...These oracle cards and the enclosed guidebook give you action steps to take that will initiate healing; help you release fears and emotional blocks; and give you messages about your life purpose, relationships, manifestations, and more..."
