Oracle cards, like tarot and Lenormand, are used for cartomancy, unlike tarot and Lenormand however they do not use a specific system. Oracle card decks can be on any subject, have any designs, any number of cards. There aren’t really any rules. Lenormand and tarot can be classed as types of oracle cards, but usually when spiritual practitioners refer to oracle cards they mean those of a non-specific reading system.
While oracle cards offer the most freedom in cartomancy they also have the least structure. Each deck will be designed to be read in a different way depending on what the author intended.
Over the years, however, certain themes have arisen in oracle decks. Oracle decks are usually of a certain size, 78 cards of specific height and width are common. They often come in the same types of boxes with the instructions printed in the same types of booklets. These things probably cropped up due to the increasing popularity of card decks making it more viable to print them in certain ways, streamlining the production process.
