Introducing The Plutonian Oracle

You made it! Welcome to my blog. Here I will introduce and talk about The Plutonian Oracle and give you some ideas on how to use it. At first, it may seem like a complicated deck, but it's an oracle that is as simple as you'd like to make it. :) All I ask is that you forgive the lousy image quality in this post, but hey, it might just prevent image theft, right? 

In my background post about The Plutonian Oracle, I talk about its origin. Click on the link if you'd like to know more about how I created this deck and why. 

Now, onto how to use the oracle! This deck was created to be used on many levels. The first level focuses on the central symbol of each card. Take for example the crescent moon on the Hidden card (see above image). It's meaning is traditional in that it indicates hidden things, i.e., secrets. 

Second level reading is designed to give you specifics on the general message. For example, knowing whether the person in question is male or female, or if something is short lasting or long lasting. Extracting specifics can be done using the extra set of symbols (or what I call indicators) located at the corners of a card. Depending on what card you get or use, there may be only one indicator or several.  

Some cards do not have indicators. That's OK. I did this on purpose. For example, indicators like the sun and moon glyphs appear on several cards, but it would be redundant and wasteful to put them on the entire deck. What's nice about the blank corners of these cards is that you can draw in indicators, or simply use them from another card (if not in use). You can also substitute different meanings for indicators.

Third level reading is making use of space, which is a reading method similar to Lenormand. This is where the arrows in the deck come in (see the Unknown Person card below). Arrows help the reader focus on a particular direction in a reading. Depending on where an arrow points, readers can look to the card in that area of the reading or place one there to shed light on the first (arrow) card. Some indicators can also be used in this manner as well. 

Fourth level reading is the use of the deck's optional correspondences. These include elements, astrological signs, planets, colors, chakras, numerology numbers, and guidance messages assigned to each card. Correspondences assigned to the Unknown Person card are: earth element, the number 4, the root chakra, the planet Pluto, the color red, the sign of Virgo and the general guidance message is strength. You can use these apart from the oracle symbols or alongside them.

There is much more information on how to use this fourth level in the oracle manual as well as on how to use the deck in many other ways. I will also be sharing more information on this deck as well as some sample readings in a future post, so stay tuned!
