The use of cards for insight and divination dates back thousands of years. Tarot cards are most famous, with dozens of deck designs used worldwide, though regular playing cards have been substituted and have developed their own meanings.  Now dozens of "oracle" cards flood the metaphysical market and reach thousands with their messages. Not to be confused with tarot cards, oracle cards have basically the same purpose, to divine the future and give insight into a person or situation. 

Fundamentalist Christians consider all of these to be infringing on God's territory--knowledge of the future--and many consider the use of cards to be evil. I personally do not do sensational, "shocking" readings of any kind, only positive ones that are intended to aid in personal growth. Oracle cards touch the part of us that wants the security of knowing exactly what to expect at any given time. However, most reputable readers do not venture into making specific predictions as being absolute certainty, they simply describe conditions that are either favorable or challenging to a person or situation.  The future is mutable, and every choice we make--and others as well, changes the possible outcome. So when peering into the future here, realize that what you discover is not written in stone, it is simply one possibility, based on your current situation and emotions.  

The cards I use are those that touch me personally.  The "Medicine Cards" and "Sacred Path Cards" call the Cherokee blood in me."Healing with the Angels" shares messages from the angels that have become so much a part of my life over the last decade. I also use the" Crystal Ally" cards by Naisha Ahsian. And occasionally I'll use the online decks at www.tarot.com and use the information there as a foundation for a reading.
