Ammonite is the small spiral fossil of an extinct sea animal - when the fossil forms gems over time and drops away, it becomes an Ammolite (gemstone). Dragonflies are the short chunky cousins of Damselflies, but I like them better because at rest they leave their wings spread rather than closed up - better photo opportunities 🙂 🦄
Oh great, just when I'd managed to rein my desires in to better suit my budget...LOL!!! Of cpurse, I'll have to get the Wild Wisdom book to go with too.
I've been waiting for these 😍 Thank you for sharing! Please ask Peggy to make extra large divided bags for the rest of us, ☺. Blessings to you both, 💫💜💫
Love this set, thanks for showing it off, they've risen to the top of my wish list! And it's pronounced 'hooper' swan... like a hula hoop. Whooper? I hardly knew her :D
I have all 3 decks but they are from the book version so the cardstock is not as nice. I use them every new moon to guide me on setting my intention for the cycle. I call them my council and pick 2 from each set. I never thought of combining them which would be easier with my decks. Thanks for your insights.
I have the same ones you do, minus the crystal one, that one didn't appeal to me. I like to draw 1 of each of the other two. It is creepy how well the 2 cards usually sync together. Lol. I don't have any other decks that communicate with each other as well as those two do.
I want all of these so much. I can't wait to check out her night sky deck coming out later in the year. It looks like it's not an oracle deck though but maybe more of an activity deck, not sure so I like the night sky!
Damselflies are my favorites. I don't connect to some of the herbal card key words on the Herbiary deck. I am super happy with the Plant Spirit Oracle and the crystal chakra deck... thank you for the trade!!!
Isn’t it just the oddest thing when decks and/or crystals, books, charms, candles, cloths/mats, beautiful alter adornments (etc.) just happen to tiptoe their way into our carts and purchase themselves? It must be those mischievous faeries! 🤓 I’ve had these on my wishlist for a while now, who knows maybe they’ll happen to be purchased and delivered to me in the near future. I’m trying to be good here, holidays and stuff, but I’m sitting here watching deck reviews and there’s holiday shopping being done-for myself..😆 As always, love your videos. Happy Taco Tuesday, pretty lady! 🦄
oooh this definitely made me pick them up. I think they go great with the PNW tarot so I’m excited to try pairing with the green witch, gentle tarot, and northern animal as well!
Damselflies and dragonflies are not the same they are more like cousins. Damsels close their wings at rest whereas dragons leave them open. Dragonflies are also larger and thicker and live longer than damselflies. Dragonflies eat other winged bugs (such as mosquitoes) and I believe damselflies eat aquatic bugs. I think a damsel fly flys faster but I could be wrong about that.
Lovely decks! I also like how most of the chosen herbs, etc, are more commonly known/available. I'd be tempted to put the Herbiary and Bestiary together, and keep the Crystallary separate (my hands are pretty small)
TFS, Lisa. I'd like to combine them too. But I'd like to work with them each on their own for a bit first. And then edit the decks town to trim repetition.
Oh .. I knew I want these decks because I don’t own any herbal or crystal deck .. and the messages on the cards make it useful and easily an intuitive reader .. so I can pull something from the art. I have one animal oracle deck and it’s something I picked very early and I never bonded with it. It’s not pretty too and when I tried to rehome it somehow it ended up left in my bag and it came back with me! My only problem is how small these decks are .. I wish there is a 70+ animal deck. I think I will wait on these and just let them sink in until the next year or the end of this year. I just got my seed and sickle and I need to work with it before considering any giant deck 😁.
Now I'm so tempted to get the bestiary and crystallary! These are gorgeous. I'm so picky with oracles. I don't like numbered cards, like titles and phrases, and this checks all those boxes! 😍
These decks are so stunning! I love the artwork! I did anti-haul the bestiary at first because it didn't have a rabbit card, but now I'm not so sure. 😂 Also thank you for commenting on the "clumpiness" of the deck, it is a deal breaker for me on many Blue Angel decks because I can only overhand shuffle. But these don't seem too clumpy!
The wild wisdom companion comes with a rabbit card! It’s same artist/author combo, but no standalone deck yet, just the punch out cards. Still one of my favorite wheel of the year books though.
ohmahgawd! I've been waiting for them to release these cards but printed better and looks like they did 😊 Definitely ordered all 3 and will be making it into a mega deck just like I did with all my affirmator decks. I put all 5 of those decks together and now have what I call my mega affirmators deck 😄 I think there's 250cards in the deck hehe 😁.
I've gone back and forth on these for a while now. They're still on my list. I want to get the big books also. I want to get them all at the same time, so it will be a bit of a financial investment. What about pairing them with the Gentle Tarot? Someone I follow on IG talked about an Animal/Vegetable/Mineral reading and these 3 decks would be absolutely PERFECT for that reading! 🥰
I truly think you should not get rid of your Animal Kin Oracle Deck; The Beastary Deck are two different feels and esthetic Decks, I feel you should keep both. Am glad the card stock is a lot better than when it first came out, which was a deal breaker for me to even get either one of those. On my own personal take on it, I'll pass the Herbary, cause I have The Magickal Herb Deck and Hedgewitch Botanical Deck. I'll be also be passing the Beastary, for obvious reasons, The Crystallary Deck is the one, Am planning on snatching, thinking looking at early Fall, cause I have Decks that I'm working on now, and I also have two Oracle Decks on preorder. These Decks seem to be a lot better due to better card stock, then the paper thin, hence why I'll be planning on getting the Crystal Deck. I liking the artwork and enjoyed this video.
I'm so happy to see you've gotten these! I first heard of the Herbiary in one of your old videos and was sold immediately, so I was sad to see you getting rid of it later! I have all three books and also the Wild Wisdom Companion book, I'm more into tarot than oracles but those are my most used oracles and two of them are compined despite the different backings. I don't think I'm going to get these cards, but I'm glad to see they're not gilded. I have one of these in the boxed version and the gilding is not good... I think I remember you anti-hauling these, but I think it wasn't the latest anti-haul, so I guess you've gotten these already for a while?
YES I mean.. to be fair my main reason for letting them go initially was the cardstock was awful and then I tried laminating them, which was way worse, and then I wrecked them trying to get the lamination back off again..... lol
Ugh I have the books with the punch out cards and never really use them but these look so good!!! Like Desi to Lucy …. I’m like Lisssaaaa!!!🤣 oops just realized I’m showing my age-ugh
Sad that you are putting Plant Spirit oracle on the chopping block when you had originally anti hauled these decks because you wanted to work more with it.

They’re so gorgeous and I love the aesthetic.
I need some visual inspiration to paint again.
Thank you for sharing your collection.
These are SO aesthetically pleasing.
It helps a lot, now I know which one I'll get thank you so much and your voice is so sharing and passionate. Lovely content TYSM from France
Love the human card in an animal deck, such a beautiful reminder.
Oh great, just when I'd managed to rein my desires in to better suit my budget...LOL!!! Of cpurse, I'll have to get the Wild Wisdom book to go with too.
I like pairing these with the spacious tarot!
I've been waiting for these 😍 Thank you for sharing! Please ask Peggy to make extra large divided bags for the rest of us, ☺. Blessings to you both, 💫💜💫
same Lisa! I bought them all three at the same time!! Herbiary was the hardest one to use for me
Love this set, thanks for showing it off, they've risen to the top of my wish list!
And it's pronounced 'hooper' swan... like a hula hoop.
Whooper? I hardly knew her :D

The mega deck shuffling is really satisfying

Oohhh!! I’m curious to see how these would work with Tarot of Mystical Moments. Lots of florals and some animals in there. I may try that!
Definitely going to have to get these oracles!! Love the artwork and how the key phrases are at the top.
oooh this definitely made me pick them up. I think they go great with the PNW tarot so I’m excited to try pairing with the green witch, gentle tarot, and northern animal as well!
I love that they became a deck in their own right and that the backs are the same so lots to play with how one wants to group them.
Damselflies and dragonflies are not the same they are more like cousins. Damsels close their wings at rest whereas dragons leave them open. Dragonflies are also larger and thicker and live longer than damselflies. Dragonflies eat other winged bugs (such as mosquitoes) and I believe damselflies eat aquatic bugs.

OOOOH thank you for this!!!

I’m tempted to get all three of these for a super deck too! Oh and damselflies are smaller and more delicate than dragonflies.
I have the Herbiary book with cards but I want to get the others too! I am thinking of doing the boxed sets for them though!!
LOVE that crystal deck! 😍🥰 That's a must since I don't have any, want the herbal too esp to work with my herbal tarot deck. TYSM❤
Oh .. I knew I want these decks because I don’t own any herbal or crystal deck .. and the messages on the cards make it useful and easily an intuitive reader .. so I can pull something from the art.

I paired mine with Sawyers Path Tarot and The Dark Mansion they look fab
Now I'm so tempted to get the bestiary and crystallary! These are gorgeous. I'm so picky with oracles. I don't like numbered cards, like titles and phrases, and this checks all those boxes! 😍
Those are gorgeous! I love them so much ❤️❤️❤️I think I want them all. I bet they would look beautiful with the gentle tarot
They're all so beautiful! And yes that's a great pairing suggestion!
I think they would look nice with the Naked Heart Tarot as well.
Fire opals are definitely Australian. So beautiful
I'm so inspired!
These decks are so stunning! I love the artwork! I did anti-haul the bestiary at first because it didn't have a rabbit card, but now I'm not so sure. 😂 Also thank you for commenting on the "clumpiness" of the deck, it is a deal breaker for me on many Blue Angel decks because I can only overhand shuffle.

I just love these decks. Have you seen the author's newest book? Wild Wisdom Companion... just lovely. Thank you for sharing!
Do you have a page where you dive into how you use herbs and crystals?
ohmahgawd! I've been waiting for them to release these cards but printed better and looks like they did 😊 Definitely ordered all 3 and will be making it into a mega deck just like I did with all my affirmator decks. I put all 5 of those decks together and now have what I call my mega affirmators deck 😄 I think there's 250cards in the deck hehe 😁.
omg i love that you did that with affirmators!! LOL
I haven't really considered these decks since I have animal & herb decks I already love but the animal one definitely drew me in.
SO PRETTY
I've gone back and forth on these for a while now. They're still on my list. I want to get the big books also. I want to get them all at the same time, so it will be a bit of a financial investment.
What about pairing them with the Gentle Tarot?
Someone I follow on IG talked about an Animal/Vegetable/Mineral reading and these 3 decks would be absolutely PERFECT for that reading! 🥰
YESSS LOVE THAT IDEA!
Morganite glows under a certain light I believe
OOOOOOOH!
Damsel fly is smaller & dainty-er than a dragonfly 🥰
Very pretty ✨
I want the Crystal Bibles so bad! As soon as you showed those I wanted you to focus on those instead of the cards. 🤣
Aw!! Sorry about that!! I'll make a note to show those off in my Show & Tell - how's that sound? :D
Sounds great! Anything crystal related is my weakness and distracts me very easily. Lol
In 100 Ink Animals Oracle there is actually a human card. It's a portrait of the creator and the keyword is conscious which I love.
love that!
Brady. It wants to hang out with the Brady. I didn’t know I wanted them until this video, though.
RIGHT?!?!

"Hm, I'll just watch this video knowing I won't be tempted because I'm really not an oracle person" "Oh... Uh.... Oh no...💳👀"
🤣🤣🤣💸💸💸
Ugh I have the books with the punch out cards and never really use them but these look so good!!! Like Desi to Lucy …. I’m like Lisssaaaa!!!🤣 oops just realized I’m showing my age-ugh
Hehehehe I remember ILL!!!! :D
Oooo I clicked so fast. Good morning!
How does one even go about using an oracle deck that doesn’t have a homogeneous back? That would make me crazy!
Dragonfly and damselfly are two different species
Sad that you are putting Plant Spirit oracle on the chopping block when you had originally anti hauled these decks because you wanted to work more with it.
Annnnnnnd add to cart.
🤣🤣💸💸
Guessing none of these were gilded?
