The 14 Best Angel Oracle Decks for Healing and Guidance (2024)

In difficult or stressful times, divination cards can be exactly what you need to offer gentle support and guidance to nudge you in the right direction.

Angel cards in particular are a supportive and nurturing form of divination deck that can deepen your connection to the spiritual realm and provide you with the guidance that you need.

In this post I’ll be talking you through some of the best angel cards for healing and guidance so that you can pick a deck that will truly work for you or someone you love.

What are angel cards?

Angel cards are a specific form of divination cards with a focus on angels.

These cards are used to help the user connect to angelic realms and receive love, support and guidance from guardian angels and archangels.

For anybody going through a hard time, wanting to deepen their spiritual practice, or at a crossroads in their life, angel cards can be a powerful tool to guide you through and point you in the right direction.

The difference between angel cards and tarot cards

A question that often comes up for beginners in the divination community is “what’s the difference between angel cards and tarot cards?” or “what’s the difference between tarot and oracle?”.

And it’s a valid question. While tarot cards sit in their own lane, angel cards are technically a form of oracle deck.

This means that the cards and meanings are uniquely designed by the creator of the deck, often with a specific theme in mind. And of course with angel cards the theme is angels.

With oracle decks (and angel cards specifically) the creator of the deck determines the number of cards and the meaning of each card too.

In contrast, tarot is a set system with a specific number of cards and meanings that are consistent from deck to deck.

While artwork and interpretations can vary between tarot decks, the underlying framework and meaning of cards remains the same.

How to choose angel cards

When it comes to starting a practice or ritual with angel cards, the deck you choose is important.

While you might be tempted to think “angel cards are angel cards” this isn’t the case. Each deck will be very unique in terms of artwork, number of cards, theme of the cards and guidebook contents.

And what works great for one person may not resonate with another at all.

I’d therefore recommend shopping around and finding a deck that you truly connect with in order to get the best results, which is exactly what this post is here to help you with!

Before we get onto some of the best angel cards to choose from, here are some things to bear in mind when choosing your next deck.

Who are they for?

First and foremost, who is the angel deck for?

As I just mentioned, what works for one person may not work for another, so it’s important to get clear on who the deck will be purchased for so you can pick a deck that will hopefully resonate.

Of course, if you’re buying the deck for yourself this will be a lot easier.

But if the deck is a gift, really take some time to sit and think about what the specific person would like, rather than just buying whatever is popular.

Do they like a particular artwork style? Do they prefer more traditional or modern depictions? Are they are complete beginner or are they a seasoned oracle or angel card reader?

These are all things to think about so don’t rush through this process!

What are you/they going through?

Aside from the more basic preferences, it’s also important to consider the needs of the person you’re buying for, whether that’s yourself or someone else.

Are you or they going through something particular right now that requires guidance?

Maybe you or they need help navigating relationships, or working on self-love, or deepening a connection to the spiritual realm.

There are plenty of angel card decks out there that are well suited to a specific time in life and choosing the right deck will ensure that the user gets the absolute most out of their angel card reading practice.

How often will you use them?

This might not be the first thing that comes to mind when purchasing a new angel card deck, but how often you (or someone else) will use them is important to consider.

If you plan on using angel cards every single day, you want to ensure that you’re investing in a deck with high quality card that will withstand the test of time.

It also might be worth considering a deck that has a larger number of cards in it, which will allow for a greater variety of messages if your practice is more regular.

If the deck will be used less often, maybe as part of a less regular practice or in combination with other angel card decks, these things may be less important to you. Or maybe they’re less important to you anyway which is totally fine too!

Where to buy angel cards

If you’re looking to pick up a new angel card deck, there’s several places you can get your hands on one.

Perhaps the most obvious choice would be Amazon, because they have a huge variety of angel decks and fast delivery options if you prefer to shop online.

But if you’re wanting to shop and support local, try and see if there’s any spiritual shops in your area. The kinds of shops that sell crystals and incense will almost always stock some kind of divination decks too!

And it’s also worth checking out your local bookstore, some of which will also stock some tarot, oracle or angel card decks. Though bear in mind they may not have as large of a stock as a metaphysical store or Amazon does.
