How to create an oracle deck, step by step

An oracle deck brings together cards with images and messages in a language of their own. You can use it to support writing, ask questions and explore ideas. Its structure does not have to follow the tarot arcana.

  1. Define what you want to express

    Choose an intention and think about who you would like your cards to support. Write it in a sentence that helps you decide what belongs in your deck.

  2. Organise your symbols

    Group your ideas into families and map out your cards. Begin with a small prototype before deciding on the final number.

  3. Create the images and messages

    Combine photography, drawing or collage with your own words. Check that each card offers something distinct and that the deck has a consistent voice.

  4. Design and test the collection

    Use the app to bring your cards together, work on their design and review different versions. Check the text is readable and the fronts and backs work together.

  5. Prepare a physical proof

    Download and review your work. Before printing, check size, resolution, bleed and colour with your chosen printer. Printing and delivery are arranged separately.

Before you begin

What languages are available, and what do I need?

The course and app are available in Spanish and English. You need an internet connection and an up-to-date browser; the app runs on the web. There is no design software to install. You will need a PDF reader for the guides and your downloads. Use Español | English to switch languages.

Is this a tarot or Oracle course?

This is a creative process for developing your own oracle cards with personal images and messages. It does not teach a tarot system and has no connection with Oracle, databases or programming.

Do I need to know how to draw or use AI?

No. You can work with words, drawings, photographs or collage. The digital tools support your process; you do not need to master them before you begin.

Can I use the workshop without taking the course?

Yes. Access to the workshop and the course is separate. You can create your oracle deck without completing lessons or exercises.

How much does it cost, and when does it start?

App: €11.11/month. Self-paced course: €144 with 6 months of app access. Guided programme: €333 with 12 months of app access. The course is open and you can start at your own pace. After the included period, you can actively choose to subscribe to the app; you will not be charged automatically. Read the purchase terms.

How many cards should my oracle deck have?

There is no single required number for a personal deck. Begin with a small prototype, check which themes repeat and expand your map when each card has a clear purpose.

Will I be able to print the cards?

You can download your work. Before sending it to a printer, you will need to check dimensions, resolution, bleed and the supplier's requirements. A digital download is not the same as a file validated for printing.

An example to begin with: three cards about change

Try three ideas: Threshold, for what is beginning; Root, for what supports you; and Horizon, for what you want to explore. You could photograph a doorway, draw a plant and cut out a landscape. Add your own question to each image: “What small step could I take today?”, “What support can I draw on?” and “What would I like to try?”.

Check that the three cards are distinct, the text is readable and the images share a colour or a visual gesture. This is a creative example, not a prediction. You can design one of them for free and then decide whether to develop a complete deck.
