What Are Oracle Cards?
"They're a tool that can be used for introspection or, depending on your approach, divination.
But unlike traditional tarot decks, which come in packs of 78, oracle decks can include any number of cards. What's more, while tarot cards include a Major Arcana and a Minor Arcana arranged into suits, oracle decks don't follow this structure. There are no rules, and the possibilities are endless.
Although there are different schools of tarot and variations from deck to deck, any tarot deck you pick up will have theMajor Arcana covering what we call The Fool's Journey. In other words, major archetypes or lessons we encounter in life and the Minor Arcana, which covers the more day-to-day experiences, AMJ says. Oracle decks typically don't follow that setup. You may find a deck with 30-something cards or 80-something cards," they add. "One oracle deck might sort of mirror the tarot, while another could have absolutely nothing to do with tarot. But overall, the big difference is in the number of cards and whether it's split between majors and minors.
