1. Setting the Intention
Before beginning the oracle card reading, the reader usually sets an intention or asks a question to focus the session. This intention could be related to a specific area of life, such as relationships, career, or personal growth.
2. Shuffling and Drawing Cards
The reader shuffles the deck while focusing on the intention or question. Once they feel ready, they draw a certain number of cards from the deck. The number of cards drawn can vary depending on the reader's preference or the specific spread being used.
3. Interpreting the Cards
Each card drawn is interpreted based on its imagery, symbolism, and the intuitive impressions it invokes in the reader. The reader may consider the traditional meanings associated with the cards as well as their own intuition and insights. Some readers may also refer to guidebooks that accompany the deck for additional interpretation.
4. Reflecting on the Message
The reader reflects on the messages conveyed by the cards and how they relate to the intention or question asked at the beginning of the reading. The cards may offer guidance, validation, encouragement, or insights into the situation at hand.
5. Applying the Guidance
Finally, the reader considers how to apply the guidance received from the cards in their life. This may involve making decisions, taking specific actions, or simply reflecting on the messages received for personal growth and insight.
