To begin, shuffle both decks like you would for a single deck reading. Split the cards into three piles and pick a pile from each deck that resonates with you. After you have chosen your piles start with a three-card reading to help you adjust to reading with two decks. Pull a card from each of the decks to represent your past, present, and future. If you have a good bond with your deck, you will see a correspondence between the Tarot card and the Oracle card. Before consulting any outside sources, use your intuition to help you decipher the true meanings of the cards.

While at first it may seem that there may not be a connection between the two cards you pulled, there may be a deeper, more hidden meaning being shown to you. If you are having a hard time deciphering the meanings of the cards give it some time. Do not be so quick to pull new cards. Working with two decks can be challenging at first, but the insight you will uncover will be very rewarding.

Journal and contemplate on the cards you have pulled, if it is truly meant for you, your guides will bring you understanding. If you truly do not resonate with the cards you have pulled, reshuffle and try again! When you are reading cards, you are constantly gaining more knowledge for the craft, so try out this technique during your next reading!

Benefits of Using Tarot & Oracle Decks Together

Using tarot and oracle decks together for divination can significantly enhance the depth and clarity of your readings. Tarot decks, with their structured and symbolic system, provide detailed and specific insights into your questions and situations, helping to uncover underlying patterns and themes. Oracle decks, however, offer a more flexible and intuitive approach, with each deck bringing its own unique energy and messages that can complement the tarot's structure. When used together, these two divination tools create a dynamic interplay, where tarot cards lay the groundwork and oracle cards add layers of intuition and broader themes. This combination can lead to richer and more nuanced readings, providing a holistic view that addresses both the specifics and the bigger picture. By blending the precise guidance of tarot with the expansive wisdom of oracle cards, you can gain deeper insights, uncover hidden connections, and receive more comprehensive and empowering messages.
