I love this. I believe life speaks to us in many different ways. Cards are one of them. Lol. I have never heard of Oracle Cards, but Tarot Cards I know about. This is an interesting piece.
I don't have a ton of experience, but I do know you can find all kinds of themed decks. If you go to new age type bookstores. I just looked at Amazon and they have some decks there. Chapters/Indigo in Canada has some as well. You really have to sift through, but there is a nature deck, native spirit, animal guides, and a tree deck. I looked for decks that didn't seem too "out there" to me.
I am presently working toward letting go of negative learned behaviours and living in the moment. I was a real worrier, concerned situations would arise that I would not be able to deal with. But I looked back at my life one day, at all I had overcome, and realized I was going to be okay. Then I started daily morning meditation and finished with drawing oracle cards. I have two decks, trees and white light. And you're right. I'm sure anyone could find a positive message, a message of support or hope, for any situation. But I always finish with a smile on my face, ready to see what the day holds. Today I selected Terra Mater and felt good when I read that I too can let go of past wounds and open up to all the joy and beauty life holds. Sure, I knew that already but they're still nice words to read 🦋 🦋 🦋 🦋 🦋
Is wonderful that you use the cards this way, Laura. I belong to a gratitude group on Insight Timer and one of our members is currently including a randomly drawn card from a Virtue deck at the end of her gratitudes every day. It's always inspirational to read and always provides something for everyone in the group.
Oracle cards are different from Tarot, though. They're more to help connect you to your own intuition. The decks I have I bought because they have beautiful cards and inspiring descriptions!

Thanks, Annelise. I agree that life can speak to us through many channels, and am happy to have discovered Oracle Cards.
What other kind of decks are there? I’d never heard of Oracle cards before. Are there themed decks besides birds?

Yeah they would scare me too sometimes I like picture prompts, I go to Unsplash or Pixabay. Much safer! 🤣
