DIY Oracle Ideas:
Favorite Things Deck: Gather pictures of things you love, or that you find to be symbolic. (Plants, Animals, Crystals, Places) Field Guide deck is a great example of this.
Inspirational People Deck: Artists, historical figures. Use quotes, words or lyrics to deliver the message.
Ancestral Deck - Print of images of family members or loved ones who have influenced you. Include a word or message they they "deliver to you"
Deities & Guides Decks: There are loads of goddess/god decks, decks with angels and teachers. Make your own and only use the deities and guides that you connect with.
Single Words: A great introduction to creating your own deck. Pick themes that are relevant now and have been relevant to you in the past. Use aspirational words and challenging words.
Music Oracle: Make a playlist of songs that are important or meaningful to you. Shuffle and see what song plays on your playlist.
Animal Communication Deck: OTM Academy has a great deck called "Dog Tails" that is specifically for trying to understand what your dog wants/needs. If you are a cat person or an animal lover with a million photos of your pet, you can make a deck with their photos and assign meanings to them. "Walkies" "Treat's Plz" " Scared of new things"
