I have a bunch of friends who know how to do that.
Its kinda like tarot, I suppose, with the four suites and all..

Is there any resource you can direct me to for this? My interest, it has been piqued.

Yea I guess the four suits of the cards are supposed to pair up with the suits of the Minor Arcana.

And unfortunately no I can not recommend a good resource for this sad Sorry.

Imma just use them like I do with tarot, with the minor arcana; it'd work just about the same. =]

Thanks anyways.

It doesn't matter the look of the cards. The only importance is that the reader can connect with them and read them correctly. However, me personally, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on a Hello Kitty Priestess card as well as I could a Morgan le Fey Priestess Card, but that's just me. lol.

I have several decks of tarot cards but the one that sends off the strongest vib to me is my goddess deck. when i do a reading off of them it seems that it always is within where i am at at the moment.

I enjoy doing a reading on myself at least 3 times a month even though it is mostly for fun

When I first began tarot readings I used playing cards. They are actually my prefered cards to use. A good book to read on it is: Fortune Telling with Playing Cards by Sophia

That's really funny how Hello Kitty has a tarot deck lol. I'd definitely like to see that. But yeah, I don't think any deck is more powerful then the other its just the person who uses them. I don't think I'd be able to concentrate much on that particular deck. I personally like the more formal ones. The more detailed the better I think.

Tarot tends to follow a more set structure; the Major Arcana and usually the Minor Arcana will incorporate the same sort of themes in them for meaning. Oracle cards follow no set structure or interpretation system; you may find an Oracle deck with 10 cards that uses faerie imagery and then turn around and find a 50-card Oracle deck that uses plants and stones for imagery and meaning.

Oracle cards are usually less... developed. They're more likely to have a one-word meaning, for example. But sure, depending on the spread, you can use them for the same things. You'll find that different decks work better for different spreads, though.

i have a "fairy oracle deck" and it also comes with a book that gives the basics on readings and also has very long in dept meaning of each of the i think 65 cards. its has a list of meaning for the cards reversed too. but i also has a short list of one words for each card. like "the oak man" would have a list like wisdom, old age, time. that kind of thing.

My friend has the same deck. Oracle cards are really interesting. To me they give the big basic picture as a whole. Whereas the Tarot has specific meanings.
