Tarot vs Oracle: What's the difference? From thewitchoftheforest
There are 78 cards in a tarot deck & they come come as a traditionally structured deck split into the major and minor arcanas.
Tarot cards are divided into four suits - cups, wands, pentacles & swords*
There is no set number of cards in an oracle deck. Decks can be any size but usually contain 36-64 cards
Tarot cards share common themes and meanings. Most decks are based on Rider-Waite derivatives
There is no set structure to oracle decks and the cards in each deck will have its own independent meaning
Oracle decks follow their own sets of rules. They rarely have suits but are numbered for reference.**

Asterisks added by me.
*The suit names can vary depending on deck. A common variation is coins instead of pentacles.
** may vary. I've seen several with suits or groupings of some kind, and several that aren't numbered. (I'm a fan of numbering because it makes it easier to look things up, although doing it alphabetically also works in my opinion)
