Preparation of Card Decks – General and Themed
How to prep your Oracle Decks and the possible decks you can use in Angel Oracle Card Readings.
(also refer to the handout in Resources in the first section of the Course (Introduction and Instructions) for a complete listing of card decks that Cindy uses)

There are 2 x segments in this lesson. The first one (part 2a) is the video at the top of this page (note too that Cindy did the main video and then added another piece to the end of that video as an afterthought). The second segment (part 2b) is the second video below this text section on this page.

Part 2a
In this first segment and video, Cindy talks about how to Prep a deck when you first buy it, how to clear your decks, and the different decks she uses in Angel Oracle Card Readings and why.

Here are some of the key points to watch for in the video:

Prepping your decks
Clear manufacturing energy out of deck
How to clear a deck at any time
How to flow your love vibration into deck
I only look through the deck at pictures and words if it is a deck created by someone else besides Doreen Virtue
Why do we stop from having to memorize cards and their meaning?
Different Decks and why we use them for Specific reasons
Names of some general decks (Goddess, Dolphin and Mermaid, Magical Messages from Fairies and many more)
4 themed decks Cindy uses e.g. (Archangel Raphael- Romance Deck- Life Purpose deck- Abundance Deck)
No matter what deck is used, the Guardian Angel Team is giving the messages.
Cindy goes over the main decks she uses that clients have the opportunity to choose from
Do we have to know all the Goddesses to use the Goddess Deck?
Do we have to know all the Archangels to use the Archangel Deck?
At the end of the video, Cindy added a second message about Storage of Decks and Extra info about Shuffling of Decks. Here are some of the tips:

Store in Box
Wrap in Silk Scarf
Cindy uses hair ties to keep them bound together for travel
Cindy has crystals as tools she stores with decks
If you store your cards at home keep them covered
Otherwise have a demo deck for anyone to pick up cards to see or use
What does it mean if a card comes upside down when we are pulling cards for client? The only deck of Doreen’s deck is ‘Healing with the Angels’ upside down means a block in that theme. Any other deck by Doreen’s, card is laid upside down; means pay attention to that particular theme of card. More info to give to client.
Shuffle between each card placement of spread.
If cards flip out while shuffling put then in the spread (usually only one) therefore, client may have to choose or Angels which card to use if more than one jumps out of deck while shuffling. If one card is facing up when more than one card falls out when shuffling take the card/s which is facing up.
Shuffle the cards loosely and it makes it easier for your Angels to help by flipping a card/s out of deck.
