Top 20 Oracle Themes
Unlike Tarot cards, which follow a fixed 78-card structure, Oracle decks don’t have fixed rules. Every creator/publisher can shape their own style, artwork, and focus.
That’s what makes them so special – they’re as unique as the people who use them.
I’ve taken time to compile a pretty comprehensive list of Oracle card themes you’ll likely come across, each theme offering a different kind of insight or energy.
BTW – If you’re intrested, here’s a helpful post that outlines the difrence between Tarot card and Oracle card decks.

Oracle cards are not about predicting the future or providing absolute truths; they’re about understanding yourself more deeply.
They act as mirrors, helping you see what’s already within you: your feelings, intuition, and quiet inner wisdom.
Each deck speaks in its own way – through art, words, and energy. Oracle card decks offer guidance, comfort, and a gentle reminder that you’re always supported by something greater than yourself.
“Every Angel card deck is a conversation waiting to start. Each reading is an opportunity for celestial connection, a loving nuge towards the light and clarity from within.”
