The Best Questions to Ask Your Oracle Deck Each Week
You don’t need to be a mystic, a witch, or a seasoned reader to pull powerful meaning from an oracle card.
What you do need is the right question.
The questions you ask act like keys. They unlock the deeper layers beneath the artwork, the sacred sayings, and the quiet nudges that come with each draw. Without a guiding question, it’s easy to drift into vague interpretations or miss the real message entirely.
