The Angel Cards (Oracle cards)

Oracle cards are often confused with Tarot cards, however, they are both very different. In a deck of tarot cards, you have the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana. In each deck of tarot cards, no matter what 'theme' the artwork is, the designs and meaning of each card is the same. Alternatively, in the oracle cards, there is a theme ie. angels or unicorns or fairies and the meanings and designs of the cards differ in each deck. 

Doreen Virtue (who has published many decks of oracle cards) says:

Oracle cards are an ancient, time – honored way to connect with angels and spirit guides. They’re based on Pythagorean numerology, which states that all numbers and images vibrate in mathematically precise ways.”
