Modern Cards

The modern angel cards were not originated by Doreen Virtue as many people think but by a lady by the name of Sherry Whitfield.  Sherry published a simple deck in 1990. This is an excellent point for any one who wants to bring forward the psychic aspect of their nature.

Although there are references to the Catholic Church having angel cards, these are not cards for a psychic reader, but rather little sayings by the angels for you to refer to for inspiration in daily life. Sherry’s deck is very simple and on different coloured card. It is called Angels in Action. It works on a principal which most people not seem to understand.  The angels are not there to do the work for you. They are there to point you in the direction of what action to take to manifest what you wish to achieve. Without you actually taking the action nothing will happen. One can think about doing something till the cows come home, but when they do, you still have to do the milking. Thought without the action will achieve nothing. The next set of Angel cards that came along was also prior to Doreen Virtue.  This was the Angel Message Cards which was published in 1994 by Shanta Gabriel.

This is where cards began to get more graphic and depicts the Archangel Gabriel who inspired this deck of cards. Ambika Wauters also published a deck in 1995 and I think that these decks all caused Doreen Virtue to take up the cause of angel cards and bring out the many decks she has since published. What Doreen has done is to popularise the use of Angel cards. They are an easy way for people to connect to the psychic side which is there in everyone. You do not have to memorise the meanings as these appear either on the card or in the accompanying book.

How do we read these rather large cards? Once we have shuffled them it is time to pick out the cards we are going to read for the person or as our daily cards. Different decks are individual. Some say pick a daily card, others ask you to pick three cards. This usually indicates past, present and future. Being a western deck you will read from left to right. Think on your problem before and while you are shuffling. Keep both feet flat on the ground to connect to the earth. Concentrate your psychic side on what you want the answer for and either, pull the cards randomly, or take the first three cards and lay them out left to right. Turn the first one over and read the meaning. See if it fits your past in any way. This should indicate that your psychic side was connecting. The second card should show the problem you are experiencing. And the third card should point you in the direction the angels think you will find the solution.

One can draw cards in the answer to a psychic question and usually get a answer immediately. The way these cards give you intuitive insight is quite remarkable.
