Making an Oracle

RavenDarkWind

Are there any basic rules for making an oracle deck? Any cards you'd usually see, any rhyme or reason to the order, any theme?

Oh no, that's what makes them Oracles not Tarot ;).

You can even read with decks not designed for divination - I have used "The Photographic Card Deck of the Solar System" and its companion for the (chemical) Elements, and just made the meanings up from the images and factual information they have on them,

I've made a Fast Food oracle :)

A woman lies face down on the ground in a pool of ketchup, ten long fries protruding from her back :joke:.

In fact, that could work for a 10 of Swords but mine is an Oracle ! :D

My homemade oracle has some cards in common with Tarot and Lenormand (Sun, Moon, Star, Dog, Bear, Man, Woman, Child, Crossroads) but the rest of the cards are things that I like and find personally meaningful, mostly animals and objects.
