It does help to see the cards. I do like the flip-throughs, both to watch and to do them. I find them soothing, both to watch and to make them, but also helpful when you get to see all the cards. I don’t think I will ever do reviews, but flip-throughs of decks I have bought, I will definitely do. Glad to see you here! Hope you’re doing well! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Oh, YES, to BE!! You're spot on, and ooh, MJ and Prince's music, so so so amazing! You were ahead of the curve, for sure!!! :) Magic of place is the perfect way to describe this deck, and I agree. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Jo (is that how I should refer to you?, please let me know, and I'll correct)!

@@Peekaboorose Yay, jump roping is trickier than I remember, but it’s so fun! Over 30 seconds is great! I don’t even really like the movies and have only seen parts, but I can picture a jumping rope scene from the Rocky movies, and I pretend I can do that. 🤣 I hope you like the book. I am glad to finally read the whole thing, instead of giving it away mid-read. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.

Jo, you're so right, that pentacles is earth and all that it means, and yes dropping anchor into earth, roots, and grounding. It seems really obvious, but maybe because so many readings are about jobs and things that that is what comes to mind first. I appreciate you bringing the larger meaning to mind. I love that idea of a collective spark, that's the perfect way to describe wands. I have also been thinking about that "fire in the belly" phrase, how it can have many meanings beyond the traditional one of "a desire to succeed." Thank you for being here, watching, and commenting. ♥

Hi, Katie, thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing! I just subscribed to your channel, so I'm going over their next to watch your video. There is something to this challenge, and the timing with the end of the year. Glad you're doing it, too! :) Oooh, what a cool deck to use for this challenge!

Hi, Jo, thank you so much for watching and commenting and subscribing! I appreciate you so much. I completely understand that sometimes these challenges (or whatever to call them) don’t work for you, especially with so much going on. It’s always good to realize that, instead of trying to force something into your practice, especially if your life is full to brimming. I think that’s partly why I wanted to keep the other card options, because it felt like it was hemming me in, in an uncomfortable way. :) Anyway, welcome, and thank you!

Oh, and I just subscribed to your channel, too!

@@sincerelyshannadee Yes, it just looked fun to try. My impatience was the key to not having the best results, but oh well. 🤪

Thank you for watching, Shanna! Oooh, this was a long one. So much to learn and improve on yt, including learning to edit and being more succinct. :) That's cool you are a pro photographer. I bet it is nice to just enjoy it without having to worry about all the professional parts at times. It is indeed a great pastime, pro or hobby or both. I realize that I've been playing with a camera for 15 years, without learning much, so actually learning some of the basics is a big goal. :) Yeah, I completely get that mysteries aren't for everyone and also love that there are so many different books and genres out there, waiting for us to find them. :) I wasn't sure about mentioning the volunteering and realized I could bring it up, without focusing on it. Phew. Anyway, thank you for watching, commenting, and being so friendly and supportive!! :🥰😃💘

Thanks for watching and commenting! The collage deck is really pretty. Those colors really attracted me. I think it would also be a cool option for decoupage on a box for tarot cards (although, I've never even attempted decoupage). In fact, I have finished cutting out that deck and I'm going to do a video on it, probably for next week. I figured I would do a video on each one when I finish them, so that people can see them. I know video flip-throughs have helped me to find certain decks and things. :)

@@TarotwithMims oh can't wait to see it

@@carriesmysticalmusings Okay, that's perfect, because I was waffling. I will do a full flip-through, so you can see all the cards, because I definitely find those helpful. :)

Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching and commenting! Yeah, I'm not sure how the coloring will go. I have always hated it, but I also haven't tried coloring in a really long time, so I thought having a deck project helped. These are fairly simple plant illustrations, so I think it will be okay. We'll see. I plan on doing videos on each of these as follow-up, so you can see how they turned out. :)

Thank you so much, Juli!! I was definitely inspired by you. I have enjoyed you sharing how you mod and make a deck your own, and even how you’ve made a personal deck. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!! I actually have the afternoon off and was about to record my first video (not quite in response to this one) about these diy decks, specifically the paper collage cut-out option. So this felt like a sign to just keep going, recording videos I want to make. Thank you so much, and thank you for the inspiration to find creativity!!!❤

Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective. Sounds like you've done this before. Are you participating this year? I appreciate knowing that the group is so wonderful! Maybe I'll see you in the zoom group. You're completely right, I won't be doing it#dropm78 as it is prescribed and laid out to do by Esther. Regardless, I am still looking forward to these 78 days and how it works in my own personal practice. Thanks again for commenting and sharing your experience. :)

Oh, yes!! When you recommend it, it’s definitely good advice! I love your description, intimate. Yes!! Lots of scratching and cutting and coloring to do! ;)

@@TarotwithMims Really enjoyed this video of yours and have now subscribed!

@@theoutlaworacle Thank you so much!! Aw shucks! ;) I'm subscribed to yours too! I love how creative you are with your videos, photography, and artistry! Thanks for what you do and share!

Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, I think it will be fun to do! Are you going to do this challenge?

@@TarotwithMims I think. I might register for it

@@Azulvioleta2 I just sent her an email from her website and she responded with a little registration form. What I did like is that you don't have to register, unless you want to. You can request to join the Facebook group, and I think if you register, she will send you the link for joining the zoom group. :)

@@TarotwithMims I registered already, thanks

@@Azulvioleta2 Yay! Hope to see you in the zoom group! Also, I finally clicked on your channel, so I could subscribe, and watch your videos. I'm learning Spanish, so it will be fun to watch and see what I understand before I turn on the translate/subtitles! ;0)

My goodness, you've been through so much this past week. I hope you're taking care of yourself. Sending lots of love and good energy to you. Yeah, I really like this black and white deck, too, and thought this challenge could be kind of fun. Anyway, thanks for watching, and hope you're doing okay.

​@@TarotwithMims we are alive. That's the most important thing. We just got our power turned on today (been out since Friday.) We had so much we had to repair ourselves and still have a ways to go. But we are safe. I'm gonna try and do a video as fast as possible. We are still waiting on some of our services to be restored. I'm personally exhausted. Thank you for all the positive thoughts and energy.

@@Witchy_1313 When you feel ready, I know many of us will be glad to hear how you're doing, and what you're experiencing, or anything else you care to share. Again, sending you positive thoughts and energy.

@@TarotwithMims thank you 🤗

Maria, your channel has absolutely been one of my favorites. I love watching your flip throughs and you have made very useful tutorials for tarot and oracle readers of all experience levels. If I need comfort or want soothing, I'll often play your playlist of oracle or tarot flip throughs and just enjoy the artwork of the cards and the beauty of your voice and commentary. Thank you so much for what you have shared, and yes, all the way in the US, I'm enjoying what you share. My only regret is not being able to buy decks from you but I completely understand. Thank you so much!! You made my day with your comment! Thank you for watching.

​@@TarotwithMims It would be so wonderful if I could ship overseas, I'm asked often but at least I can still share my passion with the world - much like yourself! Be well, fellow Tarot traveller ❤❤❤

Thank you, @RootsAndWaves!! I appreciate you watching and commenting!! This is definitely one of my favorite tags that has floated around. I quite enjoyed figuring out what to share and now I’m starting to watch all the ones I saved, because I wanted to make my response first. :)

Thank you, Shanna! This was such a fun tag to do. I'm glad the handkerchiefs caught my eye as I was pulling things together, because it was probably my favorite to match up. Yes, field guides are lovely and so fun to flip through. I did a big Marie Kondo clean out a few years ago, and released a bunch of field guides, and while I still have quite a few, it's the only part of that clean out that I kind of regret, but there are plenty more field guides on used bookstore shelves. ;) That's so cool to hear part of the inspiration for your tarot deck. I do think yours is beautiful and love how you made the book to be like a field guide. I think it would be fun if you ever make a video about the whole project and talked about your experiences and reflections. I would be interested in that. I love hearing about the creative process and people making things. Thanks for listening to my long ramble about the art piece. Yes, part of my love for the art has to with my interactions with Amy Lynn, and her kindness, and yeah, her being human! 🤣

@@CandySoulAndSoil ❤️❤️This is my favorite tag, because it’s a fun way to see what else people are interested in, and also lovely to see how the decks are tied in. Thanks for creating this tag and inspiring us all to participate!! It was such fun thinking about it!!! I have so many of these to watch, and I look forward to watching more of yours!!! :)❤️❤️

Go for it! That would be fun to watch!!

Hope the flip throughs were helpful! and I will definitely post more about working with these decks! Thanks for watching and for your comment! :)

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting. I'm realizing it's fun to find a theme among the decks (even it's a really obvious theme like RWS), and pull those out to share. :)

Yes, it does seem to be really helpful, and a good general reference. That's cool that you're studying botanicals and also finding them wild locally! I am only starting to get into it, and this deck, for me, represented the beginning of that journey. That would be a cool video to watch, learning a little about your interest in botanicals and highlighting a deck or few. ;) Thanks for watching and commenting! :)

@@TarotwithMims I will get into making videos sooner or later about the things I can find in the wild (in my area) for my practices. There's so much I just want to share with others. I had such a hard life and a lot of hard times and I know it can be difficult to learn certain things especially if it has anything to do with beliefs and it can't always be shown or there's no one that can teach what they know. For myself, if it wasn't for books, google and TH-cam...it would have made it even harder.

Thank you for watching and commenting! I have been enjoying your unboxing subscription boxes, so fun! Oooh, may I be nosey and ask what the deck you carry is and that you've had to replace? If it's personal, then please pardon my asking. I just think it's fun to find out what people use and what decks are favorites and frequently used.

@@TarotwithMims I am more than welcome to share. My favorite deck has been the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot Deck by Giulia F. Massaglia. It was my favorite deck for years. I have carried many decks with me but that's the deck I've replaced 3 times (the only one I've ever replaced.) I am carrying a different deck right now. Like right now, I'm carrying The Medieval Feathers Tarot by Alejandro R. Rozan and Jay R. Rivera. But I always go with my gut.

@@Witchy_1313 It's always cool to learn which decks are people's go-tos. Thanks for sharing. The Golden Art Nouveau is on my wish list, and I'll have to look up the Medieval Feathers Tarot, because I'm not familiar with it. :)

@@TarotwithMims I had received the Medieval Feathers Tarot in one of my subscription boxes. My favorite deck so far from any of my subscription boxes. Even the book that comes with it is amazing. I have some plans on doing videos to show my favorite decks. That I own and have worked with more than any that I own.

@@Witchy_1313 Oooh, that's cool to hear. I think it's fun when you find a deck via a subscription box, because it can often mean (not always) that it's a deck you might not have come across otherwise. Oh, I hope you'll do that video series. I would love to watch and learn what your favorite decks are. Sometimes it's just fun to connect, sometimes it's fun to learn of new (to us) decks, and sometimes it helps us to reconnect to decks we already have. It's also cool to learn a bit about someone's practice through their decks. :) Can't wait to watch yours!! :)

I really have enjoyed your series and it's such a good option and reminder to use with bold old and new decks. I'm actually going to use the suggested spreads with the landscapes tarot this week. I enjoy being here, what a fun corner of tube space indeed! Thanks for being so welcoming and encouraging! :) I actually saw you had a new video, and I've saved it to watch later today. Thanks again!! :)

Shanna, oh, getting to that spot when you've shuffled a deck enough that it's broken in is such a good feeling (even if it's a deck you don't care much about). I completely understand not connecting to any of the RWS decks, especially when the artwork doesn't speak to you. I'm so glad we have so many options for decks and artwork. We're in such an amazing time when decks have become so much more diverse, imaginative, and representative. I also use the Lightseer's and I've seen the Textured Tarot, and it looks like such a good deck. I have that on my wish list, for sure. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, I appreciate you so much! :)

@@khan7459 Thanks for sharing a bit of your tarot reading and studying journey. I love that idea of adding layers for study in some years. What you’re working on now, the ancestral work, sounds fascinating. I think collecting those spreads and activities would be really good for practice and digging into those decks and items for that. It’s that long-term studying and always learning that makes me love tarot so much. Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing. I haven’t read Tom Benjamin’s book, so I’ll find it. Thank you. I can’t think for the life of me which book I used (and referred to in the video) that told me to put away the tarot and use playing cards. I gave it to a friend, and lost touch with them. The problem with finding it now is a lot of books from the 2000s are paperbacks with a picture of a tarot card in the front, so not helpful in trying to find it again! 😂 I hope your work goes well this fall, and would love to hear how it’s going. Thank you.

@@TarotwithMims 🥰

Ooh, cool, what are you studying? You mentioned the almanac book (name of it escapes me at the moment), and I’m eager to hear what you think of it. Yes, I would like to get some in-depth numerology into the pip study as well, and even how it extends beyond tarot. I just saw you have a new video. I have it saved to watch tonight, yay!!

@@carriesmysticalmusings Thank you so much!! I appreciate you for watching and commenting!! I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, so I’m glad I finally found tarot-tube, it really does seem like the kindest place on the internet!!

@@Peekaboorose Thank you so much, Juli! I have been watching your videos, and I love that you’re always making a new deck or modding one. I also binge-watched all of your videos with Heather and Sarah. You three made my tarot wish list grow by a mile! ;)

@@GreeneyedTarot Oh, thank you!! You’re so right!! I spent a day in June recording and deleting what felt like a million videos. I realized that the only way I would learn is to make them and go from there. So many things to learn, but that’s part of the fun, too. I appreciate you watching and your comment!!

@@MoonflowerMoments Thank you so much!!! Oh, that’s so cool, teaching and tarot in common!! :)

Thank you for watching and for your kind words!!! Good to know that the tags are always in season!! :)

Thank you, Marlene, for watching and your kindness. Thanks, also, for creating the tag, because it was fun to watch so many, but also to help me walk through some decks and solve a deck dilemma. :)

Thank you so much!! I recently watched your video on when collections meet decks. I think that is such a fun tag, and I think that might be my next video. Thanks for your kindness! :)

@@TarotwithMims ooo mims I will look forward to it if you do but no pressure. Just excited to get to know you and your channel ❤️

@CandySoulAndSoil I think it will be fun to dig through and see what I can come up with. I am glad to get to know you more as well, watching more of your videos. Thank you!!

@@sincerelyshannadee Thank you so much for your kindness and the inspiration for finally getting started on making and posting a video. Yeah, I’m kinda glad to have a deck that I’m not worried about losing or damaging. It was also kinda fun to make it. Thanks again for watching, commenting, and being so encouraging!! I appreciate you so much!!

@@sincerelyshannadee Oh my, you are so kind!! Thank you!!
