You Are The Oracle

This Activation is a meditation/visualization that will unlock and up-level your intuition in preparation for reading Oracle & Tarot cards. It is recommended that you use this Activation before completing the lessons in this course. You can also return to it anytime you feel that your intuition could use a tune-up, or when you purchase a new deck to align with its energies. Please listen to this Activation in a quiet place where you won't be interrupted and can relax. Feel free to lie down or sit up. Light a candle if you wish and just receive.

In this lesson, we discuss the history of Oracle and Tarot cards. We look at a timeline of divination tools related to Oracle and Tarot cards and how they came to our modern society. This includes Runes, the I'Ching, Greek oracles, the first Tarot deck, and the oldest Tarot deck still in production.

In this lesson, we discuss the major differences between Oracle and Tarot cards, but you can use them both interchangeably! We also look at how to choose a deck, which includes getting clear on your intentions for using the deck, what visually appeals to you, and which decks are emotionally aligned.

In this lesson, two example readings are given, one with an Oracle card deck, and one with a Tarot card deck. The basic structure of a reading is as follows: Select a deck that calls to you, set an intention & say a prayer of protection, shuffle the cards, select any amount of cards you'd like or follow a spread (more to come in the next lesson) interpret the cards using your intuition and the guidebook, then offer gratitude. The decks used are the Spirit Animals Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid and The Tarot of the Divine by Yoshi Yoshitani.

Spreads are templates for your reading that include diagrams as well as questions or meanings for each card that is pulled. In this lesson, we discuss one-card spreads and questions you might ask yourself when pulling a single card, as well as 3-card spreads and year-ahead spreads.
