There are portals everywhere
Similar to a tarot deck, Open Portals can be used as an Oracle deck for meditation and reflection. Within the Oracle manual that comes with each deck are the meanings behind all 56 cards. This is a deck about duality: there is an upside and a downside to everything. You can choose to read the upside for cards that are face up and the downside for cards that are upside-down. But some cards, like the face cards, do not have a right side up, so you will have to use your intuition to guide you. Open Portals can be used in any of the classic tarot spreads, but below are four suggested spreads using the energy of the Myths. The Myth cards tell the story of Open Portals and each has its own associated spread to offer enlightenment or interpretation on a particular situation. All of the cards are thematic based on their suit and number. For example, all ‘2’ Portal cards are controlled by Fear, whereas ‘5’ Portal cards represent Change. The Gods, Magics and Myths each represent something unique.
