You may have grown up believing that objects do not have spirit. If so, I suggest you tuck the inner sceptic into bed and let the curious child out to play. The Oracolotto, like any Tarot or Oracle, does not believe itself to be an object. It thinks that no object is simply a thing but also exists in a spiritual plane. All objects have a soul, a spirit that connects to yours. You may have grown up believing that objects do not have spirit.

It thinks that no object is simply a thing but also exists in a spiritual plane. All objects have a soul, a spirit that connects to yours.
The Oracolotto has a playful and deep soul. It asks to be cared for as a living thing (more like a plant than a pet). It asks to be touched, used, cried on, and laughed with. Most importantly, it asks for a place to rest every night. I would recommend, at your discretion, to free all negative intentions from the cards. This may happen if you do a reading for someone with bad intentions, or a heavy, painful load to carry. Or it may happen if you use them alone in a moment of intense sadness or anger. In such cases, find a way to release these feelings from the cards, leave them out to breathe, or hold them in your hands and think positive thoughts. The Oracolotto has a playful and deep soul.

There is a key element missing before you may achieve the state of perfect joy.
