CONTEST: New Ways of Working with the King Solomon Oracle Cards

The following methods were developed by Liz Hazel and Orna Ben-Shoshan during their video conference. You can win your own set of the King Solomon Oracle Cards. Just leave a comment on this post by midnight Sunday June 26, 2011. The winner will be announced Friday July 1, 2011. Good luck!

The King Solomon Oracle Cards and Numerology: Write down your birthday, the date, and your question. At the moment you’ve written your question, write down the exact time. Shuffle the oracle cards and concentrate on your question. When you’re finished shuffling, add up all of your numbers. Reduce it down to a digit less than 36, or a single digit. 

Example: Bob’s birthday               March 16, 1982  = 3-16-1982 (3+16+1982) = 2001

                Today’s date:                     May 18, 2011      = 5-18-2011 (5+18+2011) = 2034

Bob’s question: Should I stay in my present job?                              Time:       +  10:30 a.m.

Shuffle the deck and concentrate on the question; then set the deck aside.

Add all three numbers:                                                                                                                  =    5065

Reduce the total: 5+0+6+5 = 16 or 7

Pick up the oracle deck and deal six cards off the top. Take the 7^th card – this is the answer to the question. Look up the card’s interpretation in the booklet.       

 

The King Solomon Oracle Cards and Dice

Use dice to help select the card(s) to answer a question. You’ll need either three or one dice to do this.  

 

Method #1: Three-card answer.

 
Think of a question, and write it down if you wish. Shuffle the deck and deal all of the cards into six piles of six cards each. Roll three dice. Take the piles with the same numbers indicated on the dice – for instance, if a two, three, and five are rolled, take the second, third and fifth piles.

Stack these piles up in order, do not shuffle again. Deal the cards into six piles (there will be three cards in each pile). This time roll only one dice. Take the pile that matches the number on the die – if a four is rolled, pick up the fourth pile. Spread out the three cards in this pile in order. You can use any three-card spread interpretation, like past-present-future. The top card is the first card in the spread, etc. Look over the cards and interpret them to obtain the answer to the question.

Method #2: One-card answer. 

Start the same way as the previous method – think of a question and write it down if you wish. Shuffle the deck and deal all of the cards into six piles of six cards each. Roll one dice, and take the pile indicated by the number. Deal these into a row of six cards. Roll the dice again. Take the card indicated by the number on the dice – if you’ve rolled a three, pick up the third card. This card is the answer to the question.

Wow. How fun to have these new ways. The numerology one intrigues me because I've long been fascinated by that system. I'll have to give this a whirl.

[Stacy LaRosa]

I like the numerology method, too! I always do a sum at the end of each reading...sometimes birthdays & sometimes the cards themselves. This looks so interesting. The deck is very pretty.I want to win!!

[Maria D.]

It's so fun to use dice and numbers:)

Really interesting techniques! I may try them out with tarot cards too.

Beautiful cards and interesting technique. Thanks for sharing.

The cards are gorgeous, and I love the idea of using numerology for new interpretations. Thanks for sharing that! :)

[Graham Dixon]

I have not used any method like this so far, but you can be sure I will add this into my readings in future. I particularly like the Birthdate, todays date and time method, it feels right for me already. Thanks for the insight.

This card set looks great. I have always been interested in numerology. Thanks for sharing.

[Francine Infortunio]

What an intriguing set and a unique way of doing a reading. I can't wait to see the rest of the deck!

[Lillie]

I think Tarot is going to get as complicated as astrology! The deeper we all dig, the more it will reveal.

[Karen Borusiewicz]

wOW! I had not seen this deck before and love the imagery as well as the numerological tie. Thanks for bringing it to our attention in such a great way. Today is 6/24/2011 reducing to 7 - spirutual and of course lucky number 7! Hoping to win :-)

[PattyZ]

The artwork is gorgeous. I have a few Tarot decks but no Oracle ones. The description of how to use the decks is intriguing. I found myself adding up the numbers and then realized I had no way to check the answer!

[cheryl]

Wow this is a beautiful deck! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[lynn]

i love the imagery of her deck. it's really very gorgeous.

[Ami]

Wow, this is gorgeous! It completely drew me in. Thanks for sharing it!

[Arab'n Tiger]

Most said I don't have it >>> I had it as "pre-order" and got it as soon as it was released; If i won it will give it to someone in my mind who want it and could not afford it! :) I think mixing numerology with divination cards can be a fun way to expand and add more insight using both the meaning of the card and thinking "why number 2" does it reflect union? does it reflect harmony; well done! :)
