วีดีโอ

Excellent video, perfect for what I was looking for. However it's still a hard choice because I like both. A bit more preference for the shadow deck, though. How does it feel to shuffle in your hands? It looks like these decks are larger than average. Oh and the cards are very matte?

I agree that it woud have been nice to have a reference as to the origins of some of these paintings in the Lydia deck. Some of the images can also be seen in Kat Black's Touchstone Tarot and the Tarot of Delphi. I just found that some of the cards in the Lydia deck are weak and could have been stronger in representation; The Emperor and the Magician, the latter for instance, is better suited as an Empress, albeit the creator's desire to portray it differently. The Emperor is weak and rather confusing. Other spooky favourites include The Vampires of the Eternal Night Tarot, XIII Tarot and the Tarot of Vampyres.

Good for you. A very creative and inspiring way to make a deck work for you. Thanks for sharing. ☺️

We so need more food in tarot! Do you have the Gourmet tarot too? I it in a couple a days ago and it’s so much fun! Anyways.. I am happy you’ve got tarot tingles again. Enjoy!❤

Thank you for sharing! 🌻

I cant wait to order ❤

I've never seen that liber florum(?) deck before, i love the flowers on the card with the rws images.

I love it! This is my first from the series. I fell in love with them watching your videos and can't wait to collect the rest of the seasons.

❤

I think ten is 1+0=1 in numerology? Could be wrong?

Seasons of the Witch Ostara is being released Feb/2025! 🎉 So excited that we will be able to complete that collection. I also love that series! 🤩

Loved all the queer-tastic decks 🌈

I ❤ the Cosmic C*nt Tarot too !!! 😅 So fun & sassy !!! 💜😋

Thank you for this! Trying to decided if I want this deck now. Appreciate the video!

Hi there… thank you very much for the video, it has inspired me to review some of this decks on my channel as well. I just subscribed to your channel so I will be watching!😊

Hi, Love your re review. Thanks a lot. Yep, i too added decks to my wishlist. Ive been thinking about Tarot of Carlotydes for a while. Intebd buying it now.❤

Hi, I'm sure you're not the only one feeling this. I for one feel the same. We're many out here. We do what we can. I post messages, sign petitions. Have my heart on what other civilians are going through in the world! We can only do our best. Continue doing the connection with your cards in a positive way. It does matter. The positive we share is good! Thanks for your point of view. You are right. Yes. But we got to keep moving forward. Again thank you for your video. Bless you. Don't be hard on yourself.

Thank you for sharing. I can totally relate. I was a child counselor and actually had to leave the field due to burnout and internalizing too much of the stuff I was witness to. We have to remember as counselors the types of energies you are constantly exposed to on the regular are very different than what many others experience. People tend to seek counseling at tough, tragic, and most difficult times in their lives. We bear witness to trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse, DV and so many others. Sometimes all that secondary exposure adds up. What has helped me is to ground and return to nature. It helps to slow things down sometimes. I also had a very strong, instant connection to tarot, it 's wavered at times. I think that is natural, like you said with a lot of relationships in life and that's ok. Great idea to grab a comfort deck! If it feels good/comforting/easy then, that might mean it's what you need. Sometimes intuition gets foggy, especially for people like us- that really do care about the world and understand how we are all connected. Wish you healing and good vibes ✨✨

Did you get your copy of “botanica” from amazon/other shops or their website? I got a copy but it has soooo much printing issues that I consider getting another copy (I know most of them do have some printing problems but there are lucky people with less and some like me when every card in a deck has problems xd)

You are at the beach now? How lucky! NYC is my favorite place! I miss going there, but prices have inflated to the point where I can no longer afford to make the trip, plus I have to concentrate on finding a job right now, so…..still, I miss it soooo much! Thanks for the review/walk through!

Thank you so much for talking about the ongoing g*nocide in Gaza - the ONLY other tarot person I've seen speaking about this is Mari from mariinthesky, the creator of The Gentle Tarot. It has been weighing so heavy, and in my work we have been conflict with upper management about being able to talk about it. I have had a hard time finding an outlet and tarot has been part of the release for me as well as participating in the Uncommitted Movement in the states. Sending you hugs!

THANK YOU for this. I respect you so much for using your platforms to speak out and address the atrocities happening right now that we are literally witnessing in real time on our screens. Its a very, very traumatic and dark time for many of us and incredibly understandable to feel burnt out, lost, confused and disappointed. The deafening silence of the tarot/spiritual community in the face of a literal g*n0c1de is very disappointing but honestly not that surprising to me. Many "spiritual" people care more about keeping their "good vibes" and "love and light" and maintaining their follower count than actual thousands of kids being unalived. It's gross, shallow and hypocritical BUT luckily there ARE many folks in the community who are doing their part and who arent afraid to speak out and stand up for whats right. I personally dont think that opposing a literal g3n+c1de is some crazy "political" statement in the first place. But whether we like it or not, the personal is political and therefore so is the spiritual. I personally believe we are ALL connected. I cannot separate my spirituality from the struggle for collective liberation for all. If your spirituality is only focused on protecting yourself from "bad vibes" and ignoring the plight of others in need...like...what are you even doing and how is that really spiritual? Anyways, Stephanie, im so sorry for what youre going through with your dad and family. Thats a lot of weight to shoulder on top of everything else horrible happening in the world. Sending love and hoping you take care of yourself 💜

Such a wonderful video & fully in agreement with you in regards to current events it’s overwhelming to live through this & I’ve never seen it played out in real time before, I’ve been using tarot on & off since I was 16 & I’m now 45 so a long time & I’ve had various periods away from Tarot with me in heavy periods I need comfort & support & I’ll go to those decks, trying to carry on as I normally would particularly reading for others just isn’t possible & once I eventually realised that I use what I needed & left everything alone trusting that they’ll be ready for me when it’s time, I hope things get easier for you soon 😊. I resonated most with one particular deck in a darker time more recently & it was the Tree Whisper Oracle which is a tree deck not my usual style & not particularly warm & fuzzy just pulled me through by giving me space to sit & breath you might find the deck/s you are called to aren’t obviously warm & fuzzy.

Thank you for this video! Though I'm not putting out content on social media, I can relate to what you say. For Tarot burnout, I find that it is better for me to do less readings, use less decks, not change decks too often, and pull cards only once a week. I can then basically apply this reading every day to every situation, but in reality, I think of it only if needed. Usually I do a whole interpretation on day 1, and reflect every evening, and day 6 I'm "clearing the place", with a break on day 7. But during burn-out times or low motivation times, I just pull the cards, have a quick look what they are, and without reading them, but leaving them out and keeping them in mind. It is low barrier then, because the deck is already chosen, cards shuffled, pulled and suit/number checked, so chance is, if I need card help during the week, my unconscious has already bred over the reading and a useful idea/ insight.... pops up.

I completely relate to your feelings about burnout. You are so not alone in this 🩵

I resonated with a lot of what you're saying! For me, burnout occurs when I try to make my practice look like something it's not and when I'm not following my own needs for the cards or ritual. It starts to feel like a chore at that point. Since I started following my own flow and taking the time to listen to what I need, I have developed a deeper relationship to my practice. For example, it's no longer about using decks that feel aesthetic for the season. While that is fun and all, it doesn't factor in what I need out of my practice. In terms of speaking vocally about the atrocities happening around the world, I chose not to use my platform as a means to be political. It's an escape for me, a place where I can share my own growth and have fun with tarot. In my personal life I show support, I discuss with friends and family, I donate money. Making the choice to not share that on my tarot IG and tarot channel does not mean I'm not being an active supporter in real life or that I'm ignoring it. My actions in my personal life speak for themself, the prayers I recite every day speak for themself, the little money I am able to donate speaks for itself.; I don't need to prove where I stand on this issue on social media so that's why I chose not to post about it often. I think it's ok to have areas of our life where we aren't political, it's a personal choice. This is an impossible global situation and there is no right or wrong way for us to deal with it. To me, whether you chose to show support on social media or in real life or both it's all ok.

We were witnessing horror things in the world for many years and decades and centuries and since humanity existed. Many people in the community just for some reason only now started to become active. I wonder why not before? I wonder why now? I am not saying don’t express your feelings and throughs, but why being selective about only one conflict? For me, I find that social media creates polarization and people don’t learn enough and don’t get into the depth of things. If I want to read politics I go to sources and I go into depth. If I want tarot - I come to tarot community and I dive deep as well on the topic. But when people mixing things up and start bringing political activism into non political forum that makes it too much for me and adds to burn out, not just in tarot but generally in life.

I agree The fact such violence and genocide is still being committed today makes you feel both angry and hopeless and it’s overwhelming

i can really recommend the cozy witch tarot as i can relate.

I resonate with your feelings, and I hope you move through this moment swiftly. I actually stopped reading decks as often to maintain my connection to spirit, etc. Weekly seems to work for me, and then as needed during the week. One of my goals is to strengthen my meditation practice because I think that will help with connection, too. And I feel you about world issues. I am not a keyboard warrior, so I only talk about politics and things on my private account. It's a conscious decision I made for my mental health. The way I try to fight the feeling of despair is to actually take things offline, so I've been finding ways to support causes I care about in local spaces. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Is it only me who sometimes feel that I’m just done with tarot like idk maybe because I have so many decks and keeps buying new ones and you have so many decks that you feel you’re just paying way too much money on them and they’re just sitting there on the shelf’s and you feel it’s becoming an obsession don’t get me wrong I looove all my decks but sometimes I feel that way

I get what you mean with the Ocean Dreams Oracle. I "blacked out" the keywords in the cards with silver sharpie, also marvy uchida opaque brush in silver worked as well. It changed this deck completely for me, it's my soul deck now. I understand why the words are so high contrasting in the cards, it'sa visual aid, but removing them made this deck my own: I contemplate the images, free-associate meanings, try to image the sounds, the smells, the light, the tenperature... Also added page number reference in the lower right corner with a light green sharpie so it doesn't stand out but can be used for reference when I want to. I used the extra cards to practice and it worked out 🩵

The "messed up" grounded card can be labeled imperfection or perfectionist ❤

Thanks for sharing. Wishing your channel much succes. ML from France 🌈

This is amazing! I struggled so much with this oracle. The artwork is beautiful, and it just sat around. What an amazing idea! Thank you for opening up my oracle world.

Do you have the Seasons of the Witch Lammas oracle? If yes, can you make a video of it please? 😇

Greatly appreciated , Thank you , for your time. Blessings!!❤

I loved seeing all your decks from April. 🌟

Makes sense to declutter

Hi! Any chance you’re looking to sell your moon void tarot? If so please let me know where I can email you!

Do you read horror? Just finished a cottagecore horror novel called Bloom by Delilah Dawson, it was so much fun!

the mantra deck was nice but i didnt like the hypersexualized cards. i dont get that.

The daily habits card 31 from the love & light mantra cards..I love that there’s stretch marks on two of the women in the artwork. I really love that art style and while it’s not the deepest oracle, it’s nice to just pull a card and have it be a feel good deck, it’s not toxic positivity which I appreciate, lol. I’ve had deadly apothecary oracle on my radar for a few weeks now, I love the edges, it’s almost like a red pleather look, plus the cards are really striking & the theme is intriguing. I love how each time I try and behave myself I end up being tempted even more. Oh well, being good is overrated at times (situational lol, for me specifically being good by not purchasing decks is overrated.) As usual, loved your video! Some really fun decks. 💜 also, I adore your crystals. I’m always so enamored with them in your videos..lol.

I have the Hoodoo Tarot; I think I'm going to get the workbook and the Throwing Bones book. That looks fabulous. Thank you.

I love the Tarot de Carlotydes! Lots of references to Mid=Sommer. Harvest Home by Thomas Tryon, back in the 1970's started my love of folk horror and The Wickerman, 1970's also, with Christopher Lee and Ed Woodward, took that love even further. Mid=Sommer was great too!! Love me some good folk horror!

Your April Decks are very beautiful. This was a great video that I enjoyed watching. Thank you so much for sharing!

This year has also been a large pull back from tarot for me too

I have tremendous respect for what you've done here, being up front and honest about the burnout many of us feel in our Practice and Craft. It is important that people hear that we all struggle from time to time. I hope you find the joy again.

I have Oribe gold lust hair oil, $60 & wasn’t at all wowed. It’s fine, however it doesn’t do anything spectacular that a less expensive oil wouldn’t do. I was curious about the conditioner but again, for the price I think I’ll pass lol.
