For card of the day, what I like to do is to pick a card in the morning, but I only look at it at the evening. That way i don’t have the impression that my day influence my draw.
Nanna it is not to see if the cards are right, it is more a way not to influence my day to make the cards right. I find it is a good way to learn my deck and learn to read it. When I’ ll be more comfortable i guess i’ll will read it before the day start 😉

Hi Olivia, you said "Occhiomarcio" really good! Thank you for using my deck, I'm so glad it was appreciated :D Love your videos. This one was really interesting (you know I love tarot) and funny, as usual. I'll try keeping note of my readings, never really did that but it seems interesting. Have a great day! Gil
I also don't agree with needing to be gifted a deck. No one would have ever bought me a deck. I finally just bought myself two decks at 36 years old. I also shuffle until card(s) pop out. I call them jumpers since I don't know what the technical name is. I go with my intuition then use the book since each artist had their own message when creating their deck.
I also bought my first deck and several more hehe. I’ve learned to use my intuition more as I got used to reading them but I still look the meanings up, and probably always will as it may have something I’ve missed. Biddy tarot is a good website if you don’t have any books at hand! Also, I call those cards ‘fliers’ because to me they’ve always flown out of the deck because they’re like ‘READ ME’ 😂
Weird! I got a set of tarot for myself a year ago and did everything “right” and never got reading that made sense. Tonight after nearly a year I pulled them out and did what felt natural. I cleansed with incense swirling the smoke under the cards and then I sat down held the cards to my heart and kissed them before starting a reading. I also listened to rain sounds with noise canceling headphones because rain makes me so happy. I experienced the most beautiful reading and I felt so connected to my cards for the first time. Glad I’m not the only one who’s kissed their deck.
I once did a tarot spread to find out what was about to happen in the last episode of got. It was 100% accurate. No kidding. (and weirdly, 5/6 cards were major arcana.)
Random story of how I manifested my first deck of Tarot cards. A friend of mine had the EXACT DECK YOU'RE USING and I fell in love with it. I even told her that one day I will have it. When I moved shortly after that exchange I found myself nowhere near where I had intended to live and reconnected with someone who told me she had a tarot deck that she never used and asked me if I wanted it. I thought "sure, maybe it's the deck I'm meant to have since I just stumbled across it" and she gave me THOSE EXACT CARDS! I've been happily using The Wild Unknown Tarot deck for about 6 months now. Seeing them in your video gave me the feeling that the Universe is telling me that I'm on the right path. Thank you for being part of that path.
I love that you take what you want from different traditions and blaze your own trail! I think tarot is super individual and one should do what they're drawn to
I made my own tarot card and that’s the best decision I made ! With this decision, I created card that fit with my vibe, my aesthetic and my energy. For me, it’s one of the best way to do it. But, we all have preference, am I right? ;))
I was gifted my first tarot deck at 16... it was my mother’s first tarot deck and she wanted to pass it on to me. My father opened the package, found it and promptly burned it in the wood burning stove. Needless to say he is reaping what he sowed from that. So I bought the first tarot deck I ever read with.
I love how you just do YOU and listen to your own intuition of “how to do tarot” because that’s what speaks to you. 💖🙏🏼 thank you for this and the reminder that all our journeys will look different
That's so strange. I've always felt the strongest connection to my late grandmother's Marseille Tarot deck, and she let me have it before she died so that's significant to me. I had no idea that being gifted your first deck was a 'thing'.
Inherited decks are good too under the “gifted” rule because it’s a gift left to you by your predecessors. (I don’t believe the gifted rule but if you do, that’s fine!)

I’m with you on reversals. When I started reading tarot, I read reversals. I eventually realized if I let my subconscious know I was not reading reversals, the card I needed with the correct information came up. There are 78 cards-plenty of different situs available. If you’re doing a reading, the placement of the card and the cards directly connected to it will let you know if the ‘reversed’ interpretation applies.
As someone who is trying to get into tarot but isn't exactly a "devoted witch", this was a very helpful video! Most of the videos i've seen so far talked mainly about certain rituals regarding the cards and the deep spirituality of actually using the cards, so i didn't really benefit from those, because i mainly want to use tarots to explore "my own soul and mindset", and discover things about myself and my actions, and depend more on myself based off what the cards try to tell me to improve on. This was a relaxed, simple way to read the cards, and i tried using a normal card deck and asked myself a couple of questions and i really benefited from it! Thank you for this helpful video!
The deck I have been wanting for a long time was gifted to me by a friend I randomly met and hit it off with 😭 she never connected with it and gifted it to me since she never used it. I don’t believe your first deck has to be gifted but I love that mine was gifted! It’s almost like the universe set it up to happen.
got my first tarot deck a couple of days ago and I've been doing lots of studying on everything i need to know and this one video was the last one I'm gunna watch so i can start doing reading on myself and maybe others. thank you sm for putting out the content you do and taking time to educate about these things its truly amazing. you worded everything amazing and seeing a detailed video about how you give yourself readings has made me even more exited to start!! keep up the good work b ♡
I put down my tarot deck for 25 years because I did my reading exactly like you do, and back then, there was no TH-cam or ANY real information on the brand new internet about how to read Tarot... and frankly, the way that everyone said was “proper” or “correct” didn’t feel right and seemed to restrictive. So I stopped using my cards, even though I felt that my way worked very well! Part of me felt like I was a fraud since I wasn’t following the rules of tarot. Well, I kept my cards a s still have them to this day. I brought them out a few days ago and decided to buy a new deck as well. The Fountain. Instant connection. I am so utterly moved by this deck, and feel like, especially after seeing your video here, I am going to really enjoy this new branch of my Tarot journey. Thank you for posting this.
Tell me why I was just practicing on my tarot and I was watching like every tarot video and I was like Olivia NEEDS to make a video and I just seen your post and I don’t think I’ve ever clicked soo fast😂
Loved this! Got my first tarot deck from my mom, she had bought it on a school trip in England but never got to use it, so when I started talking about wanting to learn tarot she pulled this 25 year old unused deck out of a box, it was one of the best gifts I've ever received! This helped a lot, I love watching you videos, I just found you channel a couple of weeks ago, I just love you energy 😍
My friend and I got our first tarot decks when we were 12. Her mom was a professional reader. We went to the new age store and picked out what deck we wanted and then we gifted them to each other! I've received many decks as gifts, and many I bought myself. I also read without spreads most of the time, read the jumpers, or just pick off the top too!
SWEETIE I LOVE YOU!!!!!! YOU'VE HELPED ME SO MUCH ON MY WICCA JOURNEY THANK UUU Edit: thank you for the heart! i mean it when i say u helped me, thanks again :)
It's actually really helpful you can go back and look at your growth or some of the reading and it's really amazing to read. It's a beautiful way to bond with your cards also
I am a noob when it comes to Tarot, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear that this is exactly the way I read my daily tarot - sleepy, coffee in hand, shuffling until one pops out and/or doing a spread (I will often hear spirit tell me how many to count off from the top or bottom). Thanks for this! I feel validated!
I was a professional Tarot reader in New Orleans. And i usually do just like you. Shuffle til your done and deal from the top. Good sharp insight as always!
oh my god I copied you as you spread out the deck and went to pick a card and as you said "I keep getting the ace of cups", I pulled out the ace of cups. magical moment!
My daughter, the youngest bought my first deck then I bought 2 more and I overheard her and my oldest (son) when she was helping him find a deck that is on it's way to me! I am giddy! I am just starting and between you and Marshall I am tbh getting really comfortable in letting my intuition guide me on a lot of things. Thank you for this!
olivia: dont do a daily reading in the morning, you might pull the tower and then become anxious me: *pulls a card in the morning bc im impatient* *pulls the tower*
I'm intrigued to know more about that playing card situation 😳 I was gifted this deck for Christmas! I never really considered it too much but i am SO happy to have it. Its kinda been blowing my mind lol
I'm an instagram follower, decided to look up some tarot up on the good old youtube and I click on the first video and it is you. I have great respect for you and your work!
I used to use playing cards using the traditional French cartomancy system and they got dark real quiccckkkkk. I mean they turned out to be accurate, but I’ll never use them again (probably)
@@FishKeeperJosh cartomancy is its own system a very open and close type of thing, unlike tarot cards. The readings are more fortune-teller type things such as "You're going to lose your job". There isn't much room for interpretation.
@@frida8519 I agree with you that certain systems tend to be harsher in delivering messages. I envied those who could read the playing cards as I saw astonishing accuracy with their results but the system never clicked with me as I would get opposite results from what I predicted with them. I find the Lenormand and Kipper system to be neutral but direct enough where it doesn’t sugarcoat the truth but will tell you the actual happenings in real life accurately for example we were having internet problems for days and I am not a technician myself but I used my lenormand cards anyway to find out what was the problem since my Mom assumes it probably had to do with our wires but the cards didn’t show wires as the problem but the router being old and outdated, the cards also showed the technician not paying attention to it so when he came the first thing he did was spend hours checking our wires in the house it wasn’t only until he was about to give up when he realized maybe we need to reboot and update our router if we haven’t done so in a long time and viola internet came back that moment. I also have a collection of gypsy cards and they tend to lean on negative messages but it is pretty truthful for example it will say a job offer is coming your way that may seem like good money but you will later learn that you were cheated with the pay and the work environment is not good where you will end up leaving.
When you talked about pulling the Tower first thing in the morning and having it mess with your head all day - that is literally what happened to me this morning!! I came to the conclusion that for “card of the day” readings I want to try pulling at night instead because that Tower was on my mind all day and I felt like I was waiting for some anvil to drop on my head. Too much influence! I just found your channel recently and love your content! ❤️
Your metthods are sooook similar to mine!! I'm not against reversals but I don't currently use them bc I amnqant to learn all the upright versions first.
Love how carefree and not solemn you are, it's really relatable. Most of the video pull up kinda stoic routines but I'm more comfortable with a instinctive and easy going one so it's easier to incorporate in my daily life! It was a really lovely video, thank you!
Everyone that I know in Ohio wraps their decks in random fabrics. A lot, including myself, use bandanas. It's more or less to protect the cards during travel and give a nice surface to read on. I'm glad you mentioned the silk wrap thing. The person who taught me did use silk and discussed with me why. I just didn't feel it necessary.
I was guided to this video and I know precisely why. I have an organic thing with always shuffling my cards prior to reading and I didn’t realize that was helping cleanse the energy, I always “felt it” though. I also do the same thing with making sure my cards are all facing the same way, plus I’ve been seeing the Ace of Cups a lot lately. I’m so grateful to my guides for guiding me to this video. Thank you for making this video. 🧚🏻
I just got my tarot deck today and was searching up videos for readings while shuffling! the ace of cups kept showing up and popping out of my deck. I think its wild that you ALSO kept seeing the ace of cups. Really reaffirmed my intuition :)
Synchronicity brought me to your video. Thank you so much. I happen to randomly have the same deck as you except pocket size version. *Not coincidence :)
Love this! I've always bought my own decks, whether I was 15 getting my first one; or 30ish when getting back into tarot. I love them; they work just fine! I've started doing a card of the day this year; and I've enjoyed it. I don't really like journaling unless it's tarot journaling, and I always record my spreads. :)
This is so cool to watch. As a new tarot reader and not knowing much about reading them. I'm thinking of going for a reading just to experience someone doing it in person and their habits.
I use a pillow case because i haven’t been able to buy a tarot cloth yet XD i also tend to do a little prayer to spirit or whatever positive force is out there to help out
I'm very, very new to tarot. The first few readings I did, I ensured that all the cards in my deck were upright, and got some confusing readings that didn't really resonate with me or make sense to the questions I was asking, but the moment I shuffled in a way that let them get reversed and did a three card reading it threw three reversed cards at me and it made so much sense lmao.
i’ve stumbled upon this channel a month or so ago, and this is the second video i’ve watched on here. i have to say that the vibes i get when watching your videos is comforting and makes me feels happy and more spiritual. i’m subbed to a couple other witches, but i don’t get the same vibes as i do when watching these. i’m really drama to you and your personality, and i love what you do. much love, light, and luck to you. 💕✨🍀
I read my cards like you... with coffee and a glass of water! Lol... I love your free spirit with the cards this gives me comfort when reading them... thank you ❤️💫
I bought my first Tarot deck. I was taught that it's important for you to like your deck and feel a connection to it so you should pick it out yourself. I store mine in silk. Not because I think you have to, but because I think that some traditions should be maintained. I use black or purple silk.
So I live in a dorm so I was freaking out because half of the stuff people suggest to cleanse a deck I can’t do. So I’m glad I found this video because it was really informative
When u first started tarot did u try to memorize the cards and their meanings or do u just “makeup” a meaning that u are picking up from the card? I’m trying to get into tarot and I was going to try I guess u could say study the cards and try to memorize them but I’ve heard a lot of witches say u shouldn’t treat ur cards like they’re flash cards and I’m not sure why ? I’m just really curious
This is months late but- it’s my understanding that tarot cards are about intuition *and* the official meanings. If you’re reading for something specific, it’s sorta hard to apply the official meanings sometimes- if I’m asking a question about say, how my day is going to go, and the card I pull represents birth- that doesn’t mean I’m going to have a baby that day. Or even that someone else is going to give birth that day. I could interpret that as the birth of a new friendship or relationship, the birth of a new belief.... Go with your gut feeling about the cards. If your gut says something that differs from the official meanings- trust your intuition.
I do tarot readings on and off mainly because I find myself becoming obsessed with readings. And it's quite tiring some times. Anyways what I do is ask my questions and just lay down the cards in order of how they fell or how I drew them and try to read them on my on and then go back and look up the card meanings and just go with whatever meaning I feel that sticks out more than the others. I haven't been too bad at it doing it this way.
I finally feel like I came across to the same "chaotic calmness" I feel about my own tarot journey when I watched this! I'm sort of new so it feels a bit rebellious to not follow the "rules" I see online or in books but I agree with everything you disagreed. I don't like treating my deck like a boujie thing, I feel like there's a better connection between us when it's just right next to my head on my nightstand, I literally put stuff on the wooden box I keep it in sometimes. And I don't cleanse all the time. Just whenever I feel necessary and it's whatever I feel right at the moment. Sometime I burn sage or a herb, sometimes I just shuffle in my hands or shuffle all over the table very messily to get it all mixed. I read whenever I want or sometimes I just grab my deck and shuffle without reading, just to strengthen our connection. I bought my own deck as well because I didn't want anybody else's energy to be linked in any way. I decided to start this journey on my own and I'm doing it for myself so I felt like it fitted a lot more to pick and purchase my own deck. Watching this video, especially the begining was very relaxing and nice for me since I felt understood, how you don't get hung up on most of those sayings as well, so thank you :) You officially became the first tarot channel I followed
Thank you. I have been reading Tarot for around ten years for other people but was always a bit wary or reading for myself; mainly fearing that I could influence the cards one way or another. But having must done a reading along with watching your videos - the response from the cards made a lot of sense given my current situation. Thank you. xx I have also just started embracing the Witchy side of me that I have been suppressing for years and I am having a blast learning from your videos and I am going to check out your online coven for sure xx
I'm so happy to hear that another witch doesn't use spreads! I've always read with my intuition, whether it be that a few cards jump out of the deck, or I feel that it's time to pull them. Sometimes I only put three cards, sometimes, I end up pulling out ten. My cards have never failed me, and I bought both of my decks. My first one is really aggressive to this day, while the newer one is like a gentle "hey babe, you uh, you got some shit you need to pay attention to before you fall over a cliff". Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been on the path for the past 7 years and there is always something to learn...thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️ I do a reading for each week and once in the beginning of the month.
Thank you so much for this video collaboration. I did my first reading with your video, then watched his after. Powerful. I'm new to all this, I actually picked up the tarot deck at a thrift store to sell. Never did and found out in my garage today. Now it's mine I guess.
Thanks for your ideas. I will definitely implement a number of them in my own practice. I am still a newbie at this, but I've found that my tarot reads are super accurate and applicable when I have a specific question in mind.
My first deck was the wild unknown and i bought it myself, keep it in its original box, and i cleansed it once. I feel like out of all my decks, its the closest to me even though i "broke" all the rules lol
I bought my 1st tarot deck myself and it was my best tarot deck. All subsequent tarot decks have been ones that people have purchased for me (from my suggestion) and I haven't been able to connect with any of them.
Made my first deck from a set of standard poker cards, you are the power, not the cards, also, a great way to recharge your deck is to just put them back in the "correct" order, you can also use an end of the day card to prepare for your dream projects, or guided meditation theme 🥰🦄
I like the idea of pulling a card of the day at the end of the day to reflect back on how the day was in relation to the card pulled. I decided to pause your video long enough to give this a try and pulled the King of Swords. Then when I continued to play your video you pulled the Father of Swords! I was like whaaaat? lol That was just too fascinating to me. It's meaning totally fit my work day today too. I'm loving your videos. I'm glad I fell upon them the other night. I subscribed then too. :D Have a great night. Blessed Be.
"still in pajamas with a cup of coffee" is EXACTLY how i read tarot daily.
Same it just feels right to be comfortable when you’re reading
Lmao same. Everyone is preparing so much and I an like hanging from my bed with chaotic hair enjoying my tarot and drinking dark coffee😂😂👌
Yas!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
❤️ sounds like the best way to do it
Exactly. I’m literally sitting in bed right now in my pjs watching this with my deck lmao
For card of the day, what I like to do is to pick a card in the morning, but I only look at it at the evening. That way i don’t have the impression that my day influence my draw.
Love this!
Amélie Robitaille so are you drawing for the day ahead but not looking until the day ends?
Mia Fine yes exact
That's really really smart
Nanna it is not to see if the cards are right, it is more a way not to influence my day to make the cards right. I find it is a good way to learn my deck and learn to read it. When I’ ll be more comfortable i guess i’ll will read it before the day start 😉

I also don't agree with needing to be gifted a deck. No one would have ever bought me a deck. I finally just bought myself two decks at 36 years old. I also shuffle until card(s) pop out. I call them jumpers since I don't know what the technical name is. I go with my intuition then use the book since each artist had their own message when creating their deck.
Same here! I bought my fordt deck and when finally i got a gifted one i really could be comfortable with it so i rarely use it 😂
I bought my first deck at 18, I'm 20 now and it works wonderfully.

I’ve learned to use my intuition more as I got used to reading them but I still look the meanings up, and probably always will as it may have something I’ve missed.

Oh...My grandma bought mine 😂😂
I usually kiss my deck before and after my readings
an actual goblin such a lovely idea. I’m going to do a reading now and I think I’ll do this
That is so cute and wholesome!
Im gonna follow this habit now

I am very interested to hear about the possessive playing card deck ! How you identified that, how it was effecting you etc please. 😊
Same, if you feel comfortable sharing!!
“Don’t set it out in the sun...........Dylan” 😂😂😂😂
Another great video. Pretty funny that you talk about not wanting to get the tower, and the guy you collab with pulls it.
Tell me why I was just practicing on my tarot and I was watching like every tarot video and I was like Olivia NEEDS to make a video and I just seen your post and I don’t think I’ve ever clicked soo fast😂
*witchcraft*
*y e s*
Loved this! Got my first tarot deck from my mom, she had bought it on a school trip in England but never got to use it, so when I started talking about wanting to learn tarot she pulled this 25 year old unused deck out of a box, it was one of the best gifts I've ever received! This helped a lot, I love watching you videos, I just found you channel a couple of weeks ago, I just love you energy 😍
My friend and I got our first tarot decks when we were 12. Her mom was a professional reader. We went to the new age store and picked out what deck we wanted and then we gifted them to each other! I've received many decks as gifts, and many I bought myself. I also read without spreads most of the time, read the jumpers, or just pick off the top too!
SWEETIE I LOVE YOU!!!!!! YOU'VE HELPED ME SO MUCH ON MY WICCA JOURNEY THANK UUU
Edit: thank you for the heart! i mean it when i say u helped me, thanks again :)
*EXCELLENT* VIDEO!!! 💜💟💜 Your energy is simply bubbly!!! 😁
Just *love and adore* your Tarot journal!!! It's so very beautiful!!! ❤❤❤
Ugh, be still my Italian heart 😍 great job with Occhiomarcio! There’s so much witchiness in Italian culture
Wow I never thought of using a notebook to keep track of readings. That actually sounds really helpful
It's actually really helpful you can go back and look at your growth or some of the reading and it's really amazing to read. It's a beautiful way to bond with your cards also
What u mean by " the deck got Possessive? "
I am a noob when it comes to Tarot, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear that this is exactly the way I read my daily tarot - sleepy, coffee in hand, shuffling until one pops out and/or doing a spread (I will often hear spirit tell me how many to count off from the top or bottom). Thanks for this! I feel validated!
Hardest man in Tarot sent me! Liked and sub'd, absolutely love your style and vibe. ✨🖤
Krystyna G. Oh there you are 💎
“Whatever works for you.”
This is why I love her channel! ✨💜✨
I was a professional Tarot reader in New Orleans. And i usually do just like you. Shuffle til your done and deal from the top. Good sharp insight as always!
oh my god I copied you as you spread out the deck and went to pick a card and as you said "I keep getting the ace of cups", I pulled out the ace of cups. magical moment!
My daughter, the youngest bought my first deck then I bought 2 more and I overheard her and my oldest (son) when she was helping him find a deck that is on it's way to me! I am giddy! I am just starting and between you and Marshall I am tbh getting really comfortable in letting my intuition guide me on a lot of things. Thank you for this!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Very cozy video.
I like to put crystal on my cards before and after doing my reading.
olivia: dont do a daily reading in the morning, you might pull the tower and then become anxious
me: *pulls a card in the morning bc im impatient*
*pulls the tower*
I'm intrigued to know more about that playing card situation 😳
I was gifted this deck for Christmas! I never really considered it too much but i am SO happy to have it. Its kinda been blowing my mind lol
Thank you! This has been the most beginner friendly & informative video that I have found so far. Thank you so much.
Honestly , I carry my tarot cards in ziplock bags 🧙🏻♂️😂😤
I have a wooden box for my deck and an oracle deck
I'm actually learning about tarot reading for myself, at the moment. I'm loving it. 🌖
I'm an instagram follower, decided to look up some tarot up on the good old youtube and I click on the first video and it is you. I have great respect for you and your work!
What do you mean at 6:50 when you said a certain deck was very “possessive” and that it wasn’t fun anymore?
I used to use playing cards using the traditional French cartomancy system and they got dark real quiccckkkkk. I mean they turned out to be accurate, but I’ll never use them again (probably)
Afrida Faiza doesn’t that mean your mind was dark because you’re the one interpreting the cards?
@@FishKeeperJosh cartomancy is its own system a very open and close type of thing, unlike tarot cards. The readings are more fortune-teller type things such as "You're going to lose your job". There isn't much room for interpretation.
@@FishKeeperJosh but olivia did say she was using playing cards as tarot cards, not that she was using cartomancy
@@frida8519 I agree with you that certain systems tend to be harsher in delivering messages. I envied those who could read the playing cards as I saw astonishing accuracy with their results but the system never clicked with me as I would get opposite results from what I predicted with them. I find the Lenormand and Kipper system to be neutral but direct enough where it doesn’t sugarcoat the truth but will tell you the actual happenings in real life accurately for example we were having internet problems for days and I am not a technician myself but I used my lenormand cards anyway to find out what was the problem since my Mom assumes it probably had to do with our wires but the cards didn’t show wires as the problem but the router being old and outdated, the cards also showed the technician not paying attention to it so when he came the first thing he did was spend hours checking our wires in the house it wasn’t only until he was about to give up when he realized maybe we need to reboot and update our router if we haven’t done so in a long time and viola internet came back that moment. I also have a collection of gypsy cards and they tend to lean on negative messages but it is pretty truthful for example it will say a job offer is coming your way that may seem like good money but you will later learn that you were cheated with the pay and the work environment is not good where you will end up leaving.
Thank you. I have been looking for more creators who share what they do in spiritual practice.
When you talked about pulling the Tower first thing in the morning and having it mess with your head all day - that is literally what happened to me this morning!! I came to the conclusion that for “card of the day” readings I want to try pulling at night instead because that Tower was on my mind all day and I felt like I was waiting for some anvil to drop on my head. Too much influence! I just found your channel recently and love your content! ❤️
Your metthods are sooook similar to mine!! I'm not against reversals but I don't currently use them bc I amnqant to learn all the upright versions first.
I have been looking for a video exactly like this everywhere. Thank you!!
Love how carefree and not solemn you are, it's really relatable. Most of the video pull up kinda stoic routines but I'm more comfortable with a instinctive and easy going one so it's easier to incorporate in my daily life! It was a really lovely video, thank you!
Everyone that I know in Ohio wraps their decks in random fabrics. A lot, including myself, use bandanas. It's more or less to protect the cards during travel and give a nice surface to read on. I'm glad you mentioned the silk wrap thing. The person who taught me did use silk and discussed with me why. I just didn't feel it necessary.
HI Olivia! Fantastic vid. Your advice and insights are excellent. Thank you for being a shining light in the world.
I bought the wild unknown tarot cards and i love them thanks for the recommendation
I love how brilliant the colours are in your new Tarot deck
Also, I keep my Tarot deck in an old sock and keep that on top of my Grimoire
I was guided to this video and I know precisely why. I have an organic thing with always shuffling my cards prior to reading and I didn’t realize that was helping cleanse the energy, I always “felt it” though. I also do the same thing with making sure my cards are all facing the same way, plus I’ve been seeing the Ace of Cups a lot lately. I’m so grateful to my guides for guiding me to this video. Thank you for making this video. 🧚🏻
Thank you Olivia. Last year i learned candle magick and sigils from your videos. It’s been a great journey.
I just got my tarot deck today and was searching up videos for readings while shuffling! the ace of cups kept showing up and popping out of my deck. I think its wild that you ALSO kept seeing the ace of cups. Really reaffirmed my intuition :)
Synchronicity brought me to your video. Thank you so much. I happen to randomly have the same deck as you except pocket size version. *Not coincidence :)
Love this! I've always bought my own decks, whether I was 15 getting my first one; or 30ish when getting back into tarot. I love them; they work just fine! I've started doing a card of the day this year; and I've enjoyed it. I don't really like journaling unless it's tarot journaling, and I always record my spreads. :)
You’re fast becoming my fav on here. Thx for the vide and info. I’m learning a lot from your vids
This is so cool to watch. As a new tarot reader and not knowing much about reading them. I'm thinking of going for a reading just to experience someone doing it in person and their habits.
I use a pillow case because i haven’t been able to buy a tarot cloth yet XD i also tend to do a little prayer to spirit or whatever positive force is out there to help out
I'm very, very new to tarot. The first few readings I did, I ensured that all the cards in my deck were upright, and got some confusing readings that didn't really resonate with me or make sense to the questions I was asking, but the moment I shuffled in a way that let them get reversed and did a three card reading it threw three reversed cards at me and it made so much sense lmao.
This is kind of silly, but I love your coffee/tea mug with the octopus on it!!!!
Likes urs way of telling tarot in a simple way. Likes everything what u are mam . Expecting some more tarot readings .Thanks
LMFAAAOOO "I don't think the cards would be boujie enough to just require silk" 🤣🤣 love your channel girl 🥰🥰🥰
i’ve stumbled upon this channel a month or so ago, and this is the second video i’ve watched on here. i have to say that the vibes i get when watching your videos is comforting and makes me feels happy and more spiritual. i’m subbed to a couple other witches, but i don’t get the same vibes as i do when watching these. i’m really drama to you and your personality, and i love what you do. much love, light, and luck to you. 💕✨🍀
Thank you for telling us to say thank you. I hadn’t even thought about it. It has already made a difference.
I read my cards like you... with coffee and a glass of water! Lol... I love your free spirit with the cards this gives me comfort when reading them... thank you ❤️💫
I bought my first Tarot deck. I was taught that it's important for you to like your deck and feel a connection to it so you should pick it out yourself.
I store mine in silk. Not because I think you have to, but because I think that some traditions should be maintained. I use black or purple silk.
I'm not sure I'm into tarot but I thought maybe I should try it and now I know what deck I want the first one is just 😍
The wild and unknown was the first deck I ever bought. 🖤
So I live in a dorm so I was freaking out because half of the stuff people suggest to cleanse a deck I can’t do. So I’m glad I found this video because it was really informative
Your such a beautiful Soul. Thank you for teaching an old lady new things.
When u first started tarot did u try to memorize the cards and their meanings or do u just “makeup” a meaning that u are picking up from the card? I’m trying to get into tarot and I was going to try I guess u could say study the cards and try to memorize them but I’ve heard a lot of witches say u shouldn’t treat ur cards like they’re flash cards and I’m not sure why ? I’m just really curious
This is months late but- it’s my understanding that tarot cards are about intuition *and* the official meanings. If you’re reading for something specific, it’s sorta hard to apply the official meanings sometimes- if I’m asking a question about say, how my day is going to go, and the card I pull represents birth- that doesn’t mean I’m going to have a baby that day. Or even that someone else is going to give birth that day. I could interpret that as the birth of a new friendship or relationship, the birth of a new belief.... Go with your gut feeling about the cards. If your gut says something that differs from the official meanings- trust your intuition.
why dont you try studying each card and reading the meaning of each one.. observe each card take your time. thats one way to start
I do tarot readings on and off mainly because I find myself becoming obsessed with readings. And it's quite tiring some times.
Anyways what I do is ask my questions and just lay down the cards in order of how they fell or how I drew them and try to read them on my on and then go back and look up the card meanings and just go with whatever meaning I feel that sticks out more than the others. I haven't been too bad at it doing it this way.
I finally feel like I came across to the same "chaotic calmness" I feel about my own tarot journey when I watched this! I'm sort of new so it feels a bit rebellious to not follow the "rules" I see online or in books but I agree with everything you disagreed. I don't like treating my deck like a boujie thing, I feel like there's a better connection between us when it's just right next to my head on my nightstand, I literally put stuff on the wooden box I keep it in sometimes. And I don't cleanse all the time. Just whenever I feel necessary and it's whatever I feel right at the moment. Sometime I burn sage or a herb, sometimes I just shuffle in my hands or shuffle all over the table very messily to get it all mixed. I read whenever I want or sometimes I just grab my deck and shuffle without reading, just to strengthen our connection. I bought my own deck as well because I didn't want anybody else's energy to be linked in any way. I decided to start this journey on my own and I'm doing it for myself so I felt like it fitted a lot more to pick and purchase my own deck. Watching this video, especially the begining was very relaxing and nice for me since I felt understood, how you don't get hung up on most of those sayings as well, so thank you :) You officially became the first tarot channel I followed
Thank you. I have been reading Tarot for around ten years for other people but was always a bit wary or reading for myself; mainly fearing that I could influence the cards one way or another. But having must done a reading along with watching your videos - the response from the cards made a lot of sense given my current situation.
Thank you. xx
I have also just started embracing the Witchy side of me that I have been suppressing for years and I am having a blast learning from your videos and I am going to check out your online coven for sure xx
I'm so happy to hear that another witch doesn't use spreads! I've always read with my intuition, whether it be that a few cards jump out of the deck, or I feel that it's time to pull them. Sometimes I only put three cards, sometimes, I end up pulling out ten. My cards have never failed me, and I bought both of my decks. My first one is really aggressive to this day, while the newer one is like a gentle "hey babe, you uh, you got some shit you need to pay attention to before you fall over a cliff". Thanks for sharing!
I subscribed to your channel because I saw 222k subscribers, to me, that was a sign from Spirit.
I just got my first tarot deck and this is really helpful! Can’t wait to look more into it!
I’ve been on the path for the past 7 years and there is always something to learn...thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤️ I do a reading for each week and once in the beginning of the month.
Oh lord! When your three cards popped up, three cards from my deck popped up AT THE SAME TIME!!! 😱
I love 3 cards spreads as well! I used to pull out more cards but didn’t really work for me. Love your vids!
Thank you so much for this video collaboration. I did my first reading with your video, then watched his after. Powerful. I'm new to all this, I actually picked up the tarot deck at a thrift store to sell. Never did and found out in my garage today. Now it's mine I guess.
We read exactly the same! "Thank you" and all. I like to use oracle as well mixed in with them though!
Thanks for your ideas. I will definitely implement a number of them in my own practice. I am still a newbie at this, but I've found that my tarot reads are super accurate and applicable when I have a specific question in mind.
The first three seconds, what’s going on with those cards?! 0.0
Pokémon.
YoU* saw it too?
The table is probably on a slight angle and the cards just shifted a bit, no big deal
card's are just glossy, especially when new
My first deck was the wild unknown and i bought it myself, keep it in its original box, and i cleansed it once.
I feel like out of all my decks, its the closest to me even though i "broke" all the rules lol
I bought my 1st tarot deck myself and it was my best tarot deck. All subsequent tarot decks have been ones that people have purchased for me (from my suggestion) and I haven't been able to connect with any of them.
Made my first deck from a set of standard poker cards, you are the power, not the cards, also, a great way to recharge your deck is to just put them back in the "correct" order, you can also use an end of the day card to prepare for your dream projects, or guided meditation theme 🥰🦄
I like the idea of pulling a card of the day at the end of the day to reflect back on how the day was in relation to the card pulled. I decided to pause your video long enough to give this a try and pulled the King of Swords. Then when I continued to play your video you pulled the Father of Swords! I was like whaaaat? lol That was just too fascinating to me. It's meaning totally fit my work day today too. I'm loving your videos. I'm glad I fell upon them the other night. I subscribed then too. :D Have a great night. Blessed Be.
I absolutely LOVE Sips By! 😍
