It’s very satisfying to have an oracular tool that is deep in your own symbolism and meanings.

Once you’ve got an idea for your oracle or tarot deck, making the cards doesn’t have to be complex or expensive. Most, but not all, tarot decks follow the Rider Waite structure. Standard decks have 78-cards and are divided into the major and minor arcana. There is more structure with a tarot deck. With oracles, you have the freedom to have as many cards as you like and on any theme that takes your fancy. There are no creative rules when it comes to making your decks. The key to that success is Mod Podge glue! The latter was printed on a home printer and stuck onto poker cards – they’re over a decade old and still going strong. I’ve created my own Lenormand oracle set with photos that held significance to me, a shamanism oracle for my husband and an ocean oracle that was a prototype to the Sea Whispers. Although this is my first tarot deck (not really sure what took me so long as I’m an avid collector and reader), it’s not my first foray into creating a deck.
