When I switched from RWS to Threads of Fate, I had that same feeling, like going from reading sheet music to improvising. Felt lost without the traditional structure.
I ended up doing a 30-day thing where I pulled one card each morning and kept a journal with two columns. Left side was the guidebook meanings, the right side was what actually happened that day and any actions I took based on the card.
Around week two, I started noticing patterns, but I must have pulled hundreds of cards throughout those two weeks, and I kept getting deeper and deeper and seeing deeper messages.
If you’re finding the deck too simple, maybe try linking each pull to something you can actually do within 24 hours. Oracle readings feel unique when they’re tied to actions instead of just thinking about them.
