The difference between Angel Card and a Tarot Reading

An angel card reading and a tarot card reading are both types of divination that use cards to gain insight into a person's life. Both types of readings are useful tools for gaining insight and guidance, however they have different origins, card decks, reading styles, and structures.

Origin and history

Angel cards are a relatively new form of divination, whereas tarot cards have been in use for centuries. Tarot cards were originally created for playing card games in Europe, and over time, they evolved into a tool for divination. Angel cards, on the other hand, were specifically designed for spiritual guidance and insight. Angel cards usually have uplifting and positive messages and images, often featuring angels, fairies, and other spiritual beings. Tarot cards have a wider range of imagery, including symbols and archetypes from various cultures and religions.

Reading style

Angel card readings tend to focus more on guidance and advice, while tarot readings often explore deeper psychological and emotional issues. Angel card readings may be more straightforward and less complex than tarot readings. Angel card decks typically have a smaller number of cards than tarot decks, and they often come with a guidebook that provides interpretations for each card. Tarot decks can have up to 78 cards, and there are many different systems and interpretations for each card.

Which type of reading is best for me?

There is no straightforward answer to this question because both angel card readings and tarot card readings can be effective depending on your personal preferences and needs. If you are looking for a reading that is more focused on providing you with positive and uplifting guidance, an angel card reading may be a good choice. Angel cards tend to have more straightforward messages, and the imagery is often calming and reassuring.

On the other hand, if you are interested in exploring deeper psychological or emotional issues, a tarot reading may be more appropriate. Tarot cards have a wider range of symbolism and can be used to explore more complex issues and themes. 

Ultimately, the choice between an angel card reading and a tarot reading will depend on your personal preferences and the type of guidance you are seeking. It can be helpful to do some research on both types of readings and find a reader or deck that resonates with you.
