There are many different oracles out there that we can use to empower ourselves. One of my favorites are the “Saints & Angels” oracle cards by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. (Hay House, 2005). This is, by nature, a very gentle oracle. It is, in essence, wisdom from Spirit, coming through the Saints and Angels.

The messages in these cards are a comfort, as they let us know here on the physical plane that help is always available from Spirit, and that we do not walk alone (however much that may seem at times). Among the voices heard here are those of Guardian Angel, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Agnes of Rome, St. Catherine of Alexandria, St. Bernadette, St. Hildegard of Bingen, St. Michael (the Archangel), Mother Mary, Christ, St. Raphael (the Archangel), St. Mother Teresa, St. Mary Magdalene, and St. Christopher.

The face of the cards shows a keyword at the top, with the name of the energy speaking at the bottom. In between are lovely illustrations that can act as focus for personal meditation. The companion book expands on the meaning of each of the cards.

One of the cards is entitled “Speak Your Truth”. The speaker is St. Bernadette. The companion book expands on the keyword to focus on literally speaking your truth … speaking up, and making your voice known. Give your fears and anxieties about what the reaction to your words will be over to God, St. Bernadette, and your angels. Speak in a lovng way, but speak with integrity. Heaven protects us, and guides out words as we say t hem.

What type of oracle appeals to you? Don’t be afraid to place it in your life, and turn to it in time of need.
