So you've known about Tarot cards (clearly!) and you've most likely additionally known about Oracle cards. Is it true that they are the same thing? Then again would they say they are entirely unexpected? What's more, which is better?
This is an inquiry I get asked constantly. What's more, it's not generally simple to clarify. Yet, let me put forth a valiant effort…
Prophet cards and Tarot cards are comparable in that they are both utilized for the same reason – doing readings, investigating oneself and divining what's to come.
The two vary in their structure…
A Tarot deck takes after a specific recipe. An Oracle deck is all the more freestyle.
harlequin-novelA Tarot deck is like a Harlequin Romance novel. There's an equation and structure to it. Certain things must be available.
For instance, the conventional Harlequin novel dependably includes a virginal courageous woman. The saint she begins to look all starry eyed at is constantly rich and quite masculine – he is normally either a rancher, extremely rich person or head honcho. Never a teacher, culinary specialist or janitor. Can you envision the novel on the left being called Between the Gas Station Attendant's Sheets? Didn't think so! However, I diverge…
Like a hot Harlequin, A Tarot deck must take after a specific structure. There is constantly five suits – the four minor arcana suits and the major arcana.
A Tarot deck has 5 suits…
The minor arcana comprises of containers, swords, wands and pentacles. This can shift contingent upon the deck as a few decks get tricky with renaming the minors. There may be coins rather than pentacles or bows rather than wands. Yet, basically, the significance of every suit is the same.
A Tarot deck has 22 noteworthy arcana cards numbered 0 through 21. For a complete rundown of all the major arcana cards, go here. A few decks will have an additional card that is one of a kind to that deck. For instance, the Crystal Visions Tarot has an additional card called "The Unknown Card", making it a 79-card deck, rather than the standard 78 cards.
Pretty much as a few decks will rename the four minor arcana suits, the major arcana cards can likewise be renamed. In my Druidcraft Tarot, the Wheel of Fortune is known as The Wheel and The Devil is called Cernunnos. In any case, the general importance of the card keeps with it.
Try not to let interchange card names get your undies in a turn…
I know this idea is truly confounding, yet recollect the Harlequin books. Underneath every one of the subtle elements of a hot bodice-ripper – like character names, work titles and area – lies a storyline that is practically indistinguishable from novel to novel.
One romance book's champion might be called Chastity Dewstorm, while an alternate novel's courageous woman is named Vanessa Lovejoy. Be that as it may, they both become hopelessly enamored with a high status male by the novel's end, in spite of their raspy challenges and urgent mews.
Another component that all Tarot decks offer is that there are four court cards – King, Queen, Knight and Page – for every minor arcana suit. So there are 16 court cards altogether. Once more, a few decks get innovative with the names and may have ruler and princess rather than Knight and Page, yet the implications of the cards don't change.
Presently onto Oracle cards!
Prophet cards can be anything – there are no guidelines that should be taken after. On the off chance that a Tarot deck is similar to a Harlequin, then an Oracle deck is similar to a novel that simply happens to have sentimental components in it. Maybe there are even some Harlequin-sort viewpoints to it, however it doesn't take after any set recipe to a tee. Possibly that is not the best similarity… .
Alright, consider Tarot cards and Oracle cards as being non-indistinguishable twins (like me and my scandalous other-half Veronica!). The Tarot deck is demure, appropriate and takes after the guidelines. She needs to wed, have kids and pay her assessments.
The Oracle deck is the renegade who makes her own particular tenets, voyaging wherever the wind takes her, investing energy in collectives and ashrams, setting out on sexual capers and making ceramics while high.
This is NOT to say that Oracle cards are more fascinating than Tarot cards, just that they are not bound by any tenets.
An Oracle deck can have any number of cards in it. The greater part of them have a tendency to be less cards than a Tarot deck, yet some can have more. Some Oracle cards will have states on it – something that is uncommon for a Tarot deck – however a few decks may just have pictures and no words.
