A Beginner’s Guide to Working with the Poesis Oracle

Beginning Your Oracle Card Practice

Oracle cards are divination tools, and they're also companions for self-reflection, clarity, and tuning into your own intuition. When you use oracle cards for daily guidance, they create space to hear what's within and around you.

The Poesis Oracle is designed for this kind of listening. All you need is a quiet moment, a question, and willingness to receive.

 

Begin with Presence

Like any powerful ritual, what's asked of you is presence, intention, and a willingness to listen. Before your first card pull, arrive fully. Set the space in whatever way feels right: light a candle, play music, tidy your surroundings, or sit quietly for a few breaths. Whatever helps you feel grounded is enough.

You might want to place your hands on your heart. Close your eyes. Feel your feet on the ground, your breath in your chest. Open with an intention to receive guidance.

That's all you need.

 

The Art of Asking Intuitive Questions

Your question shapes the reading. A vague question brings vague insight. A clear, honest question invites depth.

Let your question carry the truth of how you feel. These oracle card prompts can help:

• What do I need to pay attention to right now?
• What's beneath the way I've been feeling?
• What would support me in making this decision?
• What am I being asked to release?
• What's a helpful next step?

The more precise and honest your question, the clearer the response.

 

Your First Oracle Card Reading

Pick up your deck. Feel it in your hands. Shuffle slowly while holding your question.

When it feels right, pull one card.

Read the word and observe the artwork. Notice what arises: an emotion, an image, a quiet knowing.

Then visit the Visions in Verse Poem Library. Find your card's poem and read it aloud.

What phrase stays with you? What feeling stirs?

Place the card somewhere visible. Let it move through the day with you.

 

Create a Daily Oracle Ritual

One of the simplest ways to connect with your deck is pulling a single card each morning. It helps you become familiar with the imagery, the energy, and how the deck reflects what you're moving through.

If it feels right, pull a second card. Notice how the message expands or shifts. This is how you begin learning to read multiple oracle cards together, building confidence in deeper, more intuitive readings.

 

This Is a Practice

Each card pull is an opportunity to strengthen your intuition. The more you practice, the more naturally you'll understand the language your deck speaks.

Some days the card will land immediately. Other days it might feel quieter, less clear. That's part of the practice. Give it time to unfold. Over weeks and months, you'll notice patterns, themes, and progress in your ability to listen. The clarity comes not from a single pull, but from showing up consistently.

This is a relationship that deepens with time, attention, and trust.
