You need:

• a standard deck of playing cards
• a tarot deck that features scenes and characters on each card
• an inspiration, guidance or affirmation oracle deck
• the EPIC Past Life Readings Reference Guide (download in this section)

Playing Cards include 52 cards plus Jokers. There are red cards (Hearts and Diamonds) and black cards (Clubs and Spades). The cards increase in rank from Ace to King. If you wish to use the Joker cards (there are usually 2 in the deck), assign them Joker1 and Joker2.

Tarot Cards include 78 cards featuring 22 Major Arcana cards, 56 Minor Arcana cards and 16 Court Cards. Use a storytelling deck with characters and scenes on each card. The traditional Rider-Waite-Smith deck or a clone will work well, for example. You will use all the cards in the deck for this reading.

Oracle Cards vary in size and style. Look for a deck that provides a message or words of encouragement, inspiration or affirmation.
