Step 1: Select an Oracle Card Deck.

If you already have access to a deck, there’s no need to purchase a new one. Recommended decks, however, include:

The Hero’s Journey Dream Oracle by Kelly Sullivan Walden with artwork by Rassouli (2018)

Mystical Shaman Oracle Deck and Guidebook by Alberto Villoldo, Collette Baron-Reid, & Marcela Lobos with illustrations by Jena DellaGrottaglia (2018)

The Spirit Animal Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid with illustrations by Jena DellaGrottaglia (2018)

A Yogic Path Oracle Card Deck and Guidebook by Sahara Rose with artwork by Danielle Noel (2019)

Step 2: Shuffle the deck and draw a card.

You can pick from the top or hover your hands above a spread-out deck and pick based on your intuition.

Optional. Ask a question for the card to ‘answer.’

Step 3: View the card and notice any initial reactions.

Before you look up the card’s meaning in the guidebook, sit with your own initial reactions and observe them across the four modes as relevant—thought, emotion, body, and behavior.

Step 4: Read the card’s meaning from the guidebook.

Find the page in the guidebook corresponding to the card you drew. If the guidebook includes positive and cautionary interpretations, read both.

Step 5: Imagine this card holds a ‘real,’ meaningful message for you. Reflect on the card’s meaning as applied to your life.

Ask yourself the following questions: How does this card apply to my life? What would I do differently if this card were highlighting something genuine and true? What is the value of having drawn this card now?

Note. If the card has multiple interpretations, consider each as applied to your life.

Step 6: Imagine this card has elements that do not apply to your life, either because they’re meaningless or could be misinterpreted. Reflect on these aspects of the card.

Ask yourself the following questions: How does this card not apply? If I tried to apply these less meaningful elements to my life as if they were meaningful, what would I do differently? What are the risks of ascribing personal meaning to this card where none exists?

Note. You might interpret the meaningless aspects of the oracle card as being due to the randomness of the card drawing process itself or due to the irrelevant elements of this card’s interpretation from the guidebook.

Step 7: Review the parts of the card that might hold meaning and parts that do not. Reflect on the meaning or lack of meaning in this card drawing and interpretation process.

If you believe oracle card readings are random and meaningless, ask yourself: Could the meaning I applied to this card still be valid? Or is it meaningless because I believe the oracle card reading process itself is meaningless?

If you believe oracle card readings are divinations, ask yourself: What risks are there in interpreting oracle cards? What are some dangers in trying to apply their meaning to my life?
