Understanding Tarot and Oracle Cards
By: Amy C. Keiper also known as the writer L.C. Harrison
Defining the difference between Tarot and Oracle Cards lies in the approach of the two
different types of guiding inspirational tools. Tarot is built around a story with symbols that
involve numerology, and are rooted in meaning developed over time by many contributions.
Oracle cards are image and concept based, involving symbolic imagery created by an individual
artist or writer, often two people working together. Artists usually contribute their own meanings
to the art and imagery that they create for oracles.
