I have several of her decks,
78.. ohh
the 78 card deck you are refering to isnt' an oracle but a true tarot so it would follow the tarot system. hence if you were to read with it here it in the oracle reading it would be moved to the tarot reading section for it is an tarot deck
it also has "angels, archangels, unicorns, fairies, and mermaids"
which can be confusing as well for unicorns , mermaids arent' really angels.
yet to doreen system they all work together like a big spirit family so some allowances are made if you follow her system.
Doreen virtue angels cards are a good source to try as an oracle especially if you are looking for an oracle that is postive only.
she isnt' the only angel deck out there as you are problay aware.
there is two reasons to get more of her decks.
you feel an affinity to angels and ascended masters, or angels and ascended masters, or fairies so for you they go together naturally
the other reason is those who get doreen virtue oracle cards use them in conjunction with each other like 3 from each deck . the only problem is you may get the same messages from the oracles.
i got this for christmas a couple of years ago,
"How to Give an Angel Card Reading Kit" that comes with a dvd and the archangel cards.
that could be up your ally.
her oracles tend to come with a nice little book that gives you basic information on how to use her decks, her way of reading with them.
i tend to think of the her oracles as keywords with pictures instead of pictures with a title when i use the tarot.
as for how to attune yourself to a deck,, in general the more you use a deck the more your energy goes into your deck. it is said the first person who opens a deck is the one it is attuned to. i dont' know how true that is.
for connecting to spirit guides i am a big proponent of connecting to spirit guides, higherself, angels before i do any tarot/oracle work and since you already have an pratice of it it is perfectly fine.
dont' do it because you feel you have to,, but because you want to.
Original Angel Cards:keywords no oracle pictures
ask your guides oracle cards
the book ask your angels if you see it has a little description in there for making your own angel oracle as well.
