Ways I Use My Tarot & Oracle Decks - A Riffle In Time

Ways I Use My Tarot & Oracle Decks

 

Ways I use my tarot decks & oracle decks is a blog post based off of my video How do I work with a tarot deck or oracle deck that you can check out for a more in depth and visual experience!

Hey, fellow tarot enthusiasts! Today, let's dive into my love of tarot by looking into the different ways I use tarot decks and oracle decks! I hope to offer a glimpse into the diverse and creative ways you can connect with your cards.

1. Ask a Question, Pull a Card: The classic approach – there are endless possibilities of questions you can ask your deck. From seeking confirmation to exploring daily energies, the key is to tailor your question to your needs and know what makes a good question. I don't usually go to my decks for really predictive readings but more to be intentional and for general energies.

2. Energy of the Day Cards: I mentioned drawing cards to understand the energy of the day and one of my favorite ways is from the Radiant Crystal cards. I love that crystals and their energy can be incorporated into my practice, adding an insightful and intentional dimension to my daily routine and honestly an easy way to pick which crystal bracelet to wear lol. I also will use a tarot deck for an energy of the day reading too!

3. Conversations with Your Deck: I love taking a tarot question to the next level by engaging in a full conversation with my deck. I showed how I do this with the Spread Crafters deck in the video. I love creating a dialogue with my cards, it helps give me clarity and guidance by leaving room to go explore and reflect further.

4. Spreads: I use different tarot spreads to go deeper into specific situations and new perspectives. I recommend sources like Meg Jones Wall (3 a.m. Tarot on IG) who also wrote the "Finding the Fool" book for a variety of spreads and also always look in your decks guidebook. I always have loved the "everything spread" from WTF is Tarot by Bakara Wintner.

5. Journaling: A journal is a powerful tool in my practice and paired with a tarot deck or oracle deck it helps me reflect on my readings and internalize the messages. A lot of guidebooks come with great questions too!

6. Meditation and Reflection: Enhance your meditation sessions by incorporating tarot cards. I can't contain my excitement about using the Ritual Tarot for meditation, it is going to be a magical combo.

7. Artistic Expressions: Get creative with your tarot cards by using them in art projects. I have used my decks in making bookmarks, collages, journaling & so much more. You don't have to physically sacrifice your deck but even taking pictures to print out or sketching the cards yourself!

8. Healing and Inner Work: Tarot can be a powerful tool for healing and inner exploration. I use specific decks like the Gentle Tarot for self-care, Future Ancestor Tarot for grief work, and Playful Heart Tarot for inner child healing.

9. Goal Setting and Vision Boarding: Incorporate tarot cards into your goal-setting process and vision boards is magical. I used The Gentle Tarot to do this with a collage tarot reading workshop the creator hosted. I used the cards to help with translating the energy into visual representations of my goals.

10. Writing and Storytelling: I love to tap into my creative side by using tarot cards as inspiration for short stories and poems. I share one of my favorite poems I've wrote based on the Fool card from the Blood Moon Tarot.

11. To Hear the Hard Truth:  I also use cheeky and straightforward decks like the No Filter Oracle deck for a no-nonsense approach to self-reflection and calling me out on my own BS.

This was just a brief overview of what I went over and I still felt like there were so many ways I left out. I want to turn this into a series and go in depth in all the ways to use Tarot Decks and Oracle Decks. Follow along with me on my YouTube channel to keep up with that and so many more types of tarot videos!
