What is an Oracle Card Reading?
Read the disclaimer

A card or energy reading can give you insight and guidance on where you may be stuck in life and what might be holding you back. These readings can also help to reveal solutions and uncover hidden blocks or resistance. Often there is a step or message delivered, some new awareness or ah-ha moment occurs, or you get confirmation that you’re on the right path.

With an Oracle Card reading you receive information from a deck (or multiple decks) a reader pulls cards from and interprets based on their knowledge of the cards and ability to read your energy field. 

From there, the reader relays any energetic messages received from assisting guides, and applies it to the question and how it relates to your life. The more specific the question is, the more detailed information you will receive. A good reader will help you frame your question in a way that will help gain focused insight to what you want to know about.

Know that you have free will and always make your own choices, and the information you receive is not set in stone. Timelines change based on your choices and your conscious awareness to choose something different, and ultimately, only you are responsible and in control of your life.

There are many different ways a reader will interpret the cards. There are multiple “spreads” which are specific layouts and number of cards pulled, each position representing a different part of the timeline, such as past/present/future or situation/action/outcome for a 3-card spread.

Each reader is different, and a professional reader will always direct you towards the best fit, knowing it might not be them. We always say trust your gut and go with who you’re drawn to. Also know that not every reader will be able or willing to read you, and they too reserve the right to say no. Ultimately you want to find someone you feel drawn to and comfortable with. Trust that you will "know" who that is.

What to expect when you have a reading.

Each reader possesses different talents, skills, and gifts. Not all readers are psychics or mediums, which is why it’s important to research someone who can help you with exactly what you’re looking for.

Once you find your reader, they will often have you state your name and your question. Usually the less we know the better, so no expectations go into the reading. Sometimes they may clear the energy or ask you to cut the deck. Often they will ask you to pull your own cards, but every reader is different, so they may pull for you. I’ve done readings where we both pull cards, and just go with what Spirit tells me to do.

Then they will interpret the cards for you in relation to your question. Often what comes through confirms something you’ve been doubting or opens you up to a perspective you might not have seen before. Know that you don’t always get the news you want to hear, and again, we are reading from one possible timeline should you choose to continue in this direction. You always have free will to make a change. For every obstacle you face, there is an equal or better solution.

A good reader will never read on a negative possibility leaving you scared or stressed about the future. Readings are meant to be positive and uplifting in the fact that you are being guided to recognize something you might not have seen before. They are meant to show you a possibility in the future, how to get there, and often how to heal from the past. And again, nothing is ever set in stone.

Many readers will let you take notes or record the session, and can be available to answer questions down the line should they come up.

Some beneficial questions to ask the cards are open-ended yet specific like the following:

Some General Tips

Start by only asking one question. If other questions come up after the initial cards are pulled, often a “clarifying” card or question can then give deeper insight. 

A reader will never pry for information from you, and if at anytime you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to stop and ask for a refund. Also remember, a reader reserves the right to stop and offer you a refund too if they can’t give you a good, clean, accurate reading in that session.

Overall a reading should be a fun experience that offers you a deeper perspective into an area of your life you want some guidance with. They often uncover hidden messages and leave you feeling inspired.

Sometimes tears are shed because a chord is struck, but there is always a blessing in the BS. It’s always a gift, even if it’s wrapped in sandpaper. Know that whatever messages were given to you are because your soul asked and knows you are ready. Spirit always works in your highest interest and always wants the best for you.
