It's so interesting that the Death Doula gives you that feeling. I think Meg has said something similar. You said gallery and I thought 'YES!' but that's what makes it feel inviting to me haha 😅 That's the beauty of people, we all feel at home in different spaces. I like that, though. I really like seeing people with different aesthetics and comfort zones on TH-cam. I wish we had even more diversity in that area. You're always a breath of fresh air in that department 🤗
Great that you found some oracles that work for you! I'd love the Nature Wisdom Message Cards... if the backs were plain. I think I've looked at them like half a dozen times! I find the interpretations on the backs somehow intrusive on my reading but the facts on the backs of the Wildlife Treasury not? I am totally keeping an eye on ebay for a box of treasury cards as my preschool had them too and now I'm feeling nostalgic! I was the kid who, for the annual elementary public speaking activity, always picked a topic like "facts about whales." Your dice system is brilliant. 💚
Oh yes, I was most def an Animal Planet nerd and I always had animal facts ready to go ! So glad I'm not the only one who has fond memories of these cards !
YES, I love your finding of an oracle in the Wildlife Treasury cards! I'm always banging the found oracle drum. Once I get my hands on a copy I really want to try using the cards from the board game Wingspan for divination.
Thanks for the heads-up on The Nature Wisdom Message Cards. I was lucky to locate a deck in Canada. I am excited to pair it up with a few decks I am working with. Loved your video. Thanks for sharing.
As a cat lover with my own floof, I thoroughly enjoyed this video concluding with madame bashiba’s butt concluding the reading haha. Cats call the shots. Mine yells at me to go to bed when it’s time for cuddles and dreams. Thoroughly enjoyed and am enjoying your vids! Thank you for sharing
Hi Janaki! When you get a chance, could you do a deck walk through of the Vertigo Tarot? I've not seen one on TH-cam or anywhere but they do pop up on Ebay from time to time (of course the seller doesn't post any photos of the cards....) As always, your choices are interesting and out of the ordinary and I'm always glad to see your new additions!
I LOVE the death doula oracle. It feels liminal and shamanic to me. It pairs great with the wooden tarot. If it feels cold to you, you might consider trimming it.
i absolutely agree with you on why animal decks can be off putting or unattractive to me - i want to derive meaning and wisdom from knowledge of the animal, habits, habitat, food, etc. i feel the similarly with plant decks. i want to know where it’s native, invasive, medicinal uses, morphology, etc! this animal “deck” is drool worthy!! absolutely would be as ecstatic as you! kinda need it actually. i so loved to witness your excitement! and to see this process overall, thanks for sharing 😊
My favorite are definitely your animal flashcards!!! 😍 I love the idea of using cards for divination that were not originally meant for divination. I recently bought a card deck meant to teach kids how to write haikus, and I totally intend to use it as oracle haha. There’s a nature based card game that l’ve always wanted to get because it’s so cool (both aesthetically and the concept). It’s all animal and plant cards based on habitat and what they eat. I haven’t thought how I could read with it so I haven’t got it but it’s there 👀 (Ecologies by MontroseBiology). I wanted to buy flashcards for med students, but that’s a whole separate project I won’t get into here 😅 (I’m OBSESSED with your edging for the Craft decadence 🤤).
Omg. I have almost got the Nature Wisdom cards several times, but was turned off by the human tech cards as well. Absolutely adore this Wildlife Treasury alternative. Thank you so much for the brilliant share. And 💯 to honoring animal ancestors!!
We both uploaded a video with a frog emoji in the title within an hour of each other LOL which is giving me Deja Vu and so is commenting this !!! ahhhh
Oh. I’ll have to try it with pagan Otherworlds. I just recently got it. Paired it with fountain tarot so far, which looks great and is another that many say has a cold feel. It’s my home deck though, and I hadn’t found death doula cold myself though I can see it. Maybe colds my vibe haha. I do have love cool tones, though. Will try pairing it with Pagan Otherworlds!
I think I’ll have to get the craft decadence oracle. I recently got the death doula oracle and love it. I find it captivating and I don’t find it cold but I wouldn’t say it’s overly inviting either. I might also try the soul mirror oracle one of these days.
And if there was a plant version of the wildlife treasury cards, I’d be all over that. Show me the prehistoric plants! That would keep the geeky autistic me occupied for a long time.
What you were saying about keywords vs. images is interesting. I find that I always go by keywords; if there is a keyword I can’t ignore it. so the oracles I like are the ones where the image complements the keyword on a deeper level. I don’t like oracles with pretty images or “aesthetic” where the images have NOTHING to do with the keyword. (There are many examples of those types of oracle). (That’s why I agree with you about the animal thing. Why does a card “mean” something just because it’s written in the card?? I need either data or a visual to support the meaning 😂 A peculiarly which is very specific to oracle). However ever since I started reading with an open reading style, I’ve been very interested in oracles without keywords.
The “I see you white-eye” really sent me 😂
In love with your animal deck, such a fun idea !
Interesting as I’m decluttering my collection and enjoy looking at
What people use

Fantastic rediscovery of those wilderness cards. It was so fun watching your excitement and delight with the cards.

Yes, I might just end up removing those cards from the deck. Glad you liked them 🦖🦕🦴😊 !
Well I must say, those decks are all exquisite

Omg !! Frog twins, lol 🐸🐸👯♀️💕 !
if you have the pagan otherworlds tarot it goes really well paired with death doula oracle. it kind of matches that coldness

Yeah it would be fun to explore using the open reading style with oracle decks. I feel like it would work better with some decks than others.
@@catomancytarot definitely!
