Oracles: Magic Mirrors of the Soul – Discover Their Magic in Coulommiers (77)
There are objects that seem to come straight out of a dream... Oracles are one of them. These beautifully illustrated decks of cards open a door to imagination, intuition, and the magic of everyday life. Much more than a simple reading aid, they are true intimate companions, capable of revealing a hidden part of ourselves.
What is an oracle?
Unlike tarot, which follows an immutable structure (the 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana), an oracle is a completely free game. Each creator imagines their own universe, number of cards, symbols, and language. Some oracles are inspired by fairies, others by the moon, animals, plants, or even mythological archetypes. Each box is unique, like a miniature world to explore.
What are oracles for?
Oracles aren't there to predict the future like a crystal ball. Their mission is more subtle: they illuminate the present, open up avenues for reflection, and invite us to listen to our intuition. Drawing a card often means receiving a symbolic mirror that helps us ask the right questions. In this sense, the oracle becomes a valuable ally for:
- put words to an emotion,
- refocus during a period of doubt,
- or simply let yourself be inspired every day.
How to use an oracle?
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to get started. One of the simplest draws is to draw a card each morning, like an "energy of the day." Simply sit down for a few moments, breathe deeply, and set an intention: "What do I need to understand today?"
To make this moment even more magical, you can light a candle, burn some sage or incense, and then write down the card drawn in a notebook. Over time, you'll discover a subtle dialogue between the cards and your inner journey.
