What is The Difference Between Tarot Cards and Oracle Cards? 

To simply summarise, Tarot is a historic from of divination that has structure and rules. Tarot decks usually consist of 78 cards and the meaning behind the card is always the same. 

Oracle cards are a modern form of divination, the number of cards and meanings of those cards are completely up to the creator of the deck. Oracle decks will come with a guidebook that usually contains recommended ways to conduct readings and the full meaning behind each card.

Which One Should I Start With a Tarot Deck or Oracle Deck?
