How to use Oracle cards

I am often asking myself how to use Oracle cards. Even though the materials, images, words and dreams come from the Holy in Nature, it is us humans who translate these into meaning that guide our sometimes troubled and confusing lives. I recently found a very old version of the Journey Oracle deck stories and remembered my first version of these oracle cards from the spirit world were not in story form at all, but in a series of statements about a situation.

Join with me in creating a reading. Close your eyes and think of situation for which you want some guidance. Imagine you have drawn Journey Oracle card #1. Let this very old new form of the Oracle bring you insight.
