Tarot cards, oracle cards and angel cards are three different types of cards used to provide insight and answers to questions.

Tarot

Tarot cards originate from ancient Egypt and consist of 78 cards that are divided into two arcana: the major and the minor arcana. The Major Arcana consists of 22 cards that represent the major themes and forces in life, while the Minor Arcana consists of 56 cards that represent the minor events and challenges we face in everyday life. Tarot cards are often used to tell the future or provide answers to questions about the past and present.

Angel card

Angel Cards is a set of cards inspired by angels and their messages. Angel cards typically consist of 44 cards, each representing a specific angel and their unique qualities and characteristics. Angel cards, however, also come as 'angel tarot', which is based on the tarot's 78 cards and their two arcana.
Angel cards are used to make contact with the angels and receive their messages and guidance. Angel cards can also be used to find answers to questions and gain insight into life's challenges, as well as tell the future or give answers to questions about the past and present.

Oracle cards can be inspired by many different things, e.g. the Christian angels, astrology, crystals, animals, fairies, unicorns, nature, etc. Oracle cards are typically used for meditation, self-development and finding answers to questions and gaining insight into life's challenges.

What is the difference?

So the difference between tarot cards, oracle cards and angel cards is that tarot cards originate from ancient Egypt and are used to tell the future and provide answers to questions about the past and present, while angel cards are inspired by the various angels and are used to make contact with the angels and receive their messages and guidance, as well as receive messages about the past, present and future. Oracle cards are also used, like tarot cards and angel cards, to find answers to questions and gain insight into life's challenges.

But basically, there is not much difference between whether you use angel, oracle or tarot cards. All cards give you clear messages, guidance and answers. So it's just about what you're most drawn to.
