Hi Tarot Tribe. Today I am going to be sharing some tips and spreads for using Oracle and Tarot Decks in your readings. I am also going to be showing you some examples and how I link the decks together.

This was a requested video from a couple of lovely people. As with everything I offer, please use what resonates with you and leave the rest. Just a little note that you do not need to have a lot of decks to be a fantastic reader or to use the Tarot for your own personal development. If you only have one deck then that is great. If you only use Oracle decks then that is cool too. There is no right or wrong as far as little ole me is concerned.

I have created three new Spreads for you all which are in a downloadable for you here. I hope you enjoy working with them. I would love some feedback on how they work for you.

So let’s jump into some of the ways you can use Multiple Decks in a Reading.

1. Create Specific Spreads

You can use multiple decks with a specific spread in mind or create them.

Using more than one deck can be really good if you are currently facing a situation where there is more than one option. Each deck can represent an option. Then you can create a spread or path for option A, B, C etc.

The great thing about doing that is you can see if the same cards or types of cards come up in each option. For me, this would point to areas that have special importance.

This can be done with timing too. You can use one Tarot or Oracle deck for the next three months and then another one for the next three months after that.

In my yearly readings which are offered near the end of each calendar year I use multiple Tarot and Oracle decks. One Tarot deck for the New Moon Energies and another Tarot Deck for the Full Moon Energies and then Oracle decks for other important energies.

2. Separate out your Current Tarot Deck

You can also use decks with Major Arcana only cards as key positions in the Spread and then a complete Tarot deck or the Minor Arcana and Court Cards for the rest of the reading.

Likewise you can separate out the Major Arcana, Court Cards and Minor Arcana and have a play around with using them in specific positions.

The Major Arcana can be seen as the spiritual lessons or major themes of the reading. The Minor Arcana can be seen as the everyday magic or stepping stones in the reading. The Court Cards are really great for looking at personalities and people in a reading. These are just suggestions for what the different components of a Tarot deck can be. Bring your own outlook to it.
