Pairing Tarot and Oracles

kittiann

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in the oracles section; as it concerns both. But I'm wondering: how many of you pair oracle decks with your tarot? I use the Clow cards with the Manga tarot, for example, if I need to draw a clarifying card. Or sometimes I use a spread and mark one spot for an oracle card. I'd like to get the Pixie LeNormand and use that with a Rider-Waite tarot. What kind of combos do you use?

I have used my Victorian Flower Oracle with my Victorian Romantic as a clarifier. It did make some things clearer.

I use oracle/tarot readings at the solstice and equinoxes. The oracle card kind of signifies the light or theme of the reading.

I like decks with similar themes like the Druidcraft/Druid Plant Oracle or Arthurian Tarot/wisdom of Avalon.

Well, I use an oracle or two for my daily readings: Madame Endora's Fortune Cards (which fits with my Tarot of Vampyres) and Wisdom of the Hidden Realms (message from my guides and guardian angel for the day). When I get a new oracle and I want to work with it I usually use it too and pull a card which allows me to connect with the deck. For daily readings it can be interesting what an oracle can come up with for the day, it adds more details. Beside daily readings though I never mix tarot and oracle, I did it a few times years ago and I thought it added nothing and was making the reading longer than necessary, so now I never mix them.

For those who like historic decks, the Paracelsus Oracle works beautifully, looks beautiful, taking in geomancy (the actual cards do not have the website address splashed across the front like the ones on the scans!)

What oracle would work well with the Tarot of Prague? I'm using this as my study and reading deck right now, and would like an oracle to go with it.

Perhaps a collage type, like the Vertical Oracle:

Or something like the Symbolon:

Or the Melissa Lenormand:

Or the Oracle of the Grail Code:

Thanks, Bodhran

I have the Melissa Lenormand and the Symbolon -- I will give one of them a try.
