Oracle cards are similar to Tarot cards, but without the complex history. Each deck is unique to the author who created it and they usually include a booklet that explains the meanings behind each card and how to use the deck. Oracle cards don't have to be placed in a certain way, or require the reader to memorize their meanings because the cards generally have their meanings printed on their face whereas Tarot cards do not. | Oracle cards are similar to Tarot cards, but without the complex history.
