Oracle decks are so much more than just cards—they’re portals to wisdom, tools for self-reflection, and guides for navigating life’s twists and turns. Whether you’re new to oracle decks or a seasoned reader, there are endless ways to deepen your practice and make your readings even more magical.
Recently, I had the joy of sitting down with Naomi Kimbrough to talk about just that! In our conversation, we explored some of the most powerful, creative, and unexpected ways to use oracle decks beyond a traditional reading.
And to get you started, here are 10 powerful ways to use oracle decks in your daily life!
1 - Daily Card Pull
Start your day with a quick one-card pull to gain insight into what the day has in store or how you can make the most of it. Let the message guide your mindset and actions throughout the day.
2 - Guidance into the Future / Insight into the Past
Use your deck to gain clarity on past experiences or receive guidance on future possibilities. A simple past-present-future spread can reveal patterns and opportunities for growth.
3 - Step into the Card (Meditative Practice)
Choose a card, study its details, and enter a meditative state where you imagine yourself stepping into the card’s world. What do you see, feel, or hear? What messages arise?
4 - Connect with Your Higher Self
Dedicate your deck to your personal growth, self-love, and joy. Ask, “What does my highest self want me to know today?” and reflect on how the card’s message aligns with your journey.
5 - Ancestral & Spirit Connections
Set an intention to use your deck for connecting with ancestors, spirit guides, or loved ones who have passed. Pull a card and meditate on the energy that comes through.
6 - Embodiment Practice
Ask your deck: “What energy do I need to embody to move forward?” The card you pull can guide you in stepping into a new mindset, embracing a strength, or shifting your energy.
7 - Enhance Spellwork & Rituals
Use your oracle deck to deepen your spiritual practice by:
🔥 Placing a card next to a candle during rituals
🔮 Sending Reiki energy to a card to amplify your intention🌿 Using a card as a focal point in spellwork
8 - Boost Your Work or Projects
Place an oracle card on your desk to infuse your space with inspiration and focus. If you have a sales call, hold an abundance card in your hand. Working on a creative project? Keep a creativity card nearby!
9 - Connect with Archetypes & Specific Energies
Choose a deck that aligns with a specific energy or theme you want to connect with, like:🌿 Animal wisdom (Animal-themed decks)
🌀 Divine feminine (Goddess decks)
🌍 Cultural & ancestral connections
💎 Crystal energy (Crystal-themed decks)
10 - Do Readings for Others (Tips for Intuitive Readings)
🔹 Trust Your Instincts – Believe in your intuitive hits and quiet self-doubt.
🔹 Connect with the Cards – Before looking at the guidebook, sit with the artwork and see what feelings or symbols arise.
🔹 Build a Relationship with Your Deck – The more you use it, the stronger your connection becomes.
🔹 Find the Joy in Readings – Don’t stress about being “right.” A reading is a conversation, not a test!
