วีดีโอ

For me it is The Hellenic Oracle by Theia from @GardenGoddessTarot The more I work with it, the more I get out of it. ❤ wonderful video though and intriguing decks!

A bit late to the party, but wanted to say how much I agree about the Lovers card in the Hush Tarot. It’s jolting how out of place it is with the rest of the images. I almost have to remove it entirely when working with that deck.

It hurt my heart to hear the Tabula Mundi described as a Thoth clone 😅. M.M. Meleen says on her website that although it's inspired by the Thoth, the deck comes primarily from her personal gnosis, which I think is immediately true if you look at it side by side with the Thoth

I might pass on my Hush Tarot, tbh. It's just too... wonky?? haha The big one that screws me up is the 3 of... Pentacles? (I think). It totally looks like it should be the 3 of Cups, and the fact that it's not just... ugh. I love the art though. I really considered modding it and re-ordering it like some people have done. But... *drags knuckles* I don't wannnnnnnaaaaa. Glad to see you back. Condolences on the divorce, and all the best in coming out of this transition so much freer and happier!

I enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing the decks you plan to use for a deep dive. The decks I would add to my list (and include some from you) are: Osho Zen Tarot (my first tarot deck in the 1990s), The Dreams of Gaia Tarot (my second Tarot deck 2016 ed), The Wildwood Tarot, The Mythic Tarot (first edition), The Good Fortune Tarot (for its wonderful guidebook), The Tarot of Vampyres (for its glorious artwork and fabulous guidebook) and The Star Tarot (for the same reason as the Vampyres Tarot). The others would be from my 2024 decks which arrived so quickly that I’ve not had much time for them yet. Of these, I adore the Old Style Tarot. It has a very soothing look and may be a gentle dive for Shadow Work and rituals. I’ve just ordered a back-up copy as it’s on the Black Friday sales list at a great price. All the best for relief from your brain-fog. That’s a stress response for what you’re going through. Eventually, it will pass. It takes courage to do what you’re doing. Best wishes for a happier 2025. I am planning a no-buy or low-buy year so I can do these deep dives. I also want to read many of my tarot books. I may plan some seasonal decks as well for the Wheel of The Year study from The Wildwood Tarot. This is a lot to bite off as this year has been a complete disaster for committing to a study habit. Everything had been hot-and miss. Here’s hoping for a more stable and productive 2025.

The Cat. Ours pay 0 attention to us, either! Sad to hear about the divorce, but good for you that you have boundaries. Nice video, thank you for the show N tell!

I needed to hear this today so I think Im going to put on the dreaded (networking) work and text a couple of prospective clients. Thank you.

Great to see you back online! Sorry to hear that you’ve been going through a difficult time but I can tell you as a divorcee myself, it has been the most liberating period In my life. My ex-husband and I still love each other, but we recognize it was time to move on. I hope this is a time of growth for you as well. Thank you for the suggestion about the little mushroom book as an additional study guide for the midnight magic tarot. I just ordered it. And regarding the da Vinci tarot, I am using it exactly as you mentioned here, as a study of his individual works. And finally, I love the surrealist tarot! I see very few people talk about it on TH-cam, but it’s one of my favorite decks to just pour over and look at.

Glad to see you back, & much love at this messy complicated time I'm sure. 💜 I've been meaning to do a VR on this topic so this is a good nudge to actually do it! ...I made a list of 'deep dive decks' on my video planning document about a year ago and just never got to it, and now my list has changed entirely. I did the year in the Wildwood - I found it worthwhile.

I watched it to the end and liked it too 😅🤗and don't even start about menopause issues and brain fog 🤕

Hi, I recently got the Good Fortune Tarot and I can't put it down! I read the book in one go, it's SO GOOD! I think Barbara really let her hair down with this one😊 it is definitely worth of the deep dive and it is such a great deck to work with. A work horse material for sure. The Tarot of Vampyres is also a great deck even though it is so cheesy and has a super 00s vibe lol 😄

Gosh, what a come back! 🤯 Uhh baby, all my love to you in this complex moment 🫂💖 never the less, happy to watch your hands and decks again 🥰

You were missed!!! Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful thoughts/decks and hey… sending you so much support and BIG hugs *squish* 🤗 you’re amazing and you freakin GOT THIS GIRL!!! ♥️♥️♥️ (I am sorry to hear that though… that’s incredibly hard & just sorry you have to go through that). Life be ‘life-ing’ 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ BTW: your lil ‘fluff ball’ is adorable 😻

Divorce can be very destabilizing. It was knock to my confidence in making decisions and I struggled with getting back to "my self". Tarot helped a lot!

I love how you mod your indie decks. I am not so brave with indie's. But mass market? All bets are off. Im a slasher mainly, but I will write on, re-order shit. I do not have the paitience for colouring the edges. Hey hun, lovely to see you back. Your cat is hilarious. Sorry you have decision fatigue, but most of all, gutted you are going through a divorce (ive done that, it sucks hairy grizzly balls). The duality of that is being happy you are divorcing from a relationship that has become untenable. (I am working on holding onto multiple truths, is it working?) I have come onto my youtube subscriptions to self soothe after a fu*ktard day and you have posted. So thank you for that. Bye 👋

Thank you for doing a VR! Twice divorced person here - my heart goes out to you. I appreciate your perspective and commiserate about the decision-making fatigue. It’s real. ❤

💚

Roaen, I'm so overjoyed to see you back! My heart goes out to you about your divorce, I know that must be really really difficult... but I hope it ultimately is a positive step towards a beautiful new chapter for you 💓

What I very much appreciated of what you shared today on your You-tube channel is exactly what you did. Being vulnerable, open and honest about how you use Tarot and Oracle Cards for your everyday personal life. I found this to be quite refreshing and unique, as many others do collective readings or simply showcase their latest decks. Personally I'm more interested in seeing how others are working with the Tarot and Oracle Cards on a personal level and how it is helping them navigate through life. I'm also interested is seeing how other people journal with Tarot and the oracle cards and what they are discovering and learning through this sacred pathway. Thank you for sharing!

I've got anxiety too - I really clicked with your musing of being mindful to not trigger the anxiety if we can help it. "Journal with me" videos are so satisfying for me, I loved watching you put your pages together. I hope you're able to find joy & fulfillment in whatever you do, Roaen 💓

I may have missed it, but what’s the name of the pink deck you’re using?

Pulp tarot on amazon is a fake apparently. Only the one on Etsy from the creator is the real deal. 😢

$30 is two pizzas… i think a deck brings more value than two pizzas. ❤

'somehow when god does it it's okay' - yup 😅 loved this video!

Thanks for this 😊. I've been thinking about the concept of anger/wrath in tarot since TarotMagpie's video. Open displays of anger are so rare in the cards and I find it a relief whenever I see one. I especially love the Moon and Sun cards in Tarot V.

Always love hearing what you have to say 💗

This is a great video! Loved this!

Great video! I'm glad you decided to do this. For the tags, if it was me, I'd maybe just ditch the whole list, and trust that, should I feel like filming one, I'd recall one that I like. Or they might be a new one around at the time. When I hear "anger/ wrath" and "Tarot", I have immediately the 10 of swords from the Hidden Realms Tarot before my inner eye. I think that's the angriest Tarot card in my possesion, and one of the cards that made me decide to keep the deck after all.

Go get em’ girl!!! Loved this 🥰♥️

LOVEEE how colorful your journal is!!

Aqua Maree here - I'm team do whatever the hell you want with it! And if it goes bad I can send you another deck 😂Thank you so much for the love! 💗

Hey Roaen 👋 Not fall. Spring here in Australia.

First, the combination of this capsule is perfect! 🤩🩷🧡💚 Second, the reading was very interesting, thanks for sharing! Hope you get the opportunity to get that dream of going to school came true 🙏🏼❤️‍🩹✨ Third, nice to know your sun and moon sign 😂 love astrology and always try to guess the big placements (sorry not sorry, can’t help it 😬😅) and yes, I felt that earthy energy 🥰🤎

Best of luck with whatever you choose to do. I enjoy hearing your readings and the decks work well together.

Commenting. Thanks for sharing your practice. Glad your bathroom break was productive. 😂

Great reading! All the luck in the world on your endeavors! You got this!

The Sacred Symbols oracle is a favorite due to its simplicity & pairing well with almost everything - even though there’s quite few cards.

The Horror Tarot is pretty cool. I have the Pulp Tarot, which I love, but because I have that one, I just don't feel the need to get the Horror one. They're a bit too similar in vibe for me, so I kind of feel like they are two versions of the same thing (if that makes sense). So I totally get just picking one of the two and sticking with that. Normally I love "gotta collect them all" when it comes to creators, but in this case, I think that if you have one, you don't really "need" the other. ☺

Silver Ravenwolf isn’t dead lol that’s all I know 😂

Loved your art pieces. The Pulp Tarot is fabulous. I enjoy Todd Alcott decks. Horror Tarot is on my list to work with this fall. I've wrote all over my memento mori decks 😅 Thanks for sharing your practice.

Really enjoyed this video! Sounds like you've had one helluva month! Love Todd Alcott's decks. Pulp Tarot reads me for filth every time 😂😂😂. Horror Tarot is on my wishlist! As is the Memento Mori. Haven't seen the other 2 before! Cool! Thank you for sharing these things about your practice :) btw your art is awesome! Happy September! 🌹

By the way, Nick Bantock wrote a book on making collage art from ephemera called Urgent 2nd Class.

What OOP deck did you modify? :)

Team #don'tfuckwithaquamaree I don't think the cardstock is as nasty as modern witch... it's not nearly as heavy or glossy, and it will get better with use. It is such a meaty collage, I haven't been able to pull more than 2 or 3 cards at a time, because you get lost in there. Talk about a deck to take your time with...

Hi Roaen! Nice decks! And nice hearing about you 😊❤ about the aqua marie tarot’s mod, maybe the art is so bussy that taking all of the border would make it overflow? 🤔 And also, maybe moding it could make the cards stiffer… just some thoughts that could be consider before, if you decide to mod it. 🤓

The archeo deck looked so interesting. I love the good fortune tarot. Thanks for sharing your new acquisitions

Personally, I think that trimming the Aqua Maree Tarot would make the collage too overwhelming to read. The borders provide a nice spacing and allow the cards to breathe. Just my two cents :>:>

Hi! Always love your videos and perspective. Love your choices, all of them resonate. I enjoy even that your focus shifts from time to time between things and you use tarot integrated. It is very relatable. I can't work with tarot nonstop but I enjoy to supplement my activities. Which Tombow? Love that edge color!!! I am team modify but with collage (with some exceptions) I am for borders to contain the busy image. I love the white and black borders but I am working on liking other colors too (just ordered Runners Around the Sun Oracle and vintage Voyager Tarot-not the grape borders! I guess I am still picky😛).

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who likes The Archeo!
