They are both so lovely and I don't know which one to get. The Tarot seems to have more cards, bigger box and bigger book. I don't care about any of those qualities. I do not read the books much. I can't tell if it is more colorful than the Oracle, which is the only thing I care about. The Oracle seems to picture more humble people and the Tarot contains more royalty. But 78 cards takes up more room in my nightstand bin and that takes away room from other decks. So I think it's the Oracle for me.
