Angel Oracle Cards: Meanings and How to Read Them

Por Seraphina

As cartas oraculares dos anjos são um primo gentil do tarô. Ao contrário do tarô, não há uma estrutura fixa: cada baralho é escrito por seu próprio autor, com seu próprio número de cartas, nomes e guia. A maioria dos baralhos se baseia em encorajamento e orientação, por isso o tom costuma ser mais suave que o do tarô.

Because decks differ, always start with your deck's own guidebook. The themes below appear in many angel decks and are a useful starting point when you meet a card you don't recognise.

Angel oracle vs tarot

  • O tarô tem 78 cartas em uma estrutura fixa; os baralhos oraculares podem ter de cerca de 30 a mais de 60 cartas.
  • Tarot shows hardship as well as joy; angel decks focus on comfort, support and next steps.
  • Oracle cards are often read upright only. Some readers treat a reversed card as 'not yet' or 'look closer'.

A simple angel card reading

  • Sit quietly for a minute and breathe slowly.
  • Ask an open question, such as 'What do I need to know about…?'
  • Shuffle until it feels right, then draw one card, or three for past, present and guidance.
  • Read the image first, then the guidebook. Write down the card and how it relates to your week.
