I’m always asked “what is the difference between oracle and tarot cards”. The following three basic differences I hope will answer that question.
1. Deck Size & Structure: Tarot: 78 cards, major and minor arcana, four suits, numbered and ranked cards. Oracles: 36 to 64 cards, no structure.
2. Learning Curve: Tarot: takes some time to become proficient but much is intuitive. Oracles: no learning curve just open and use.
3. General Uses: Tarot: understanding the past, present and future, unraveling complex problems, finding advise. Oracles: Guidance, inspiration, affirmations, empowerment, encouragement, wisdom.
