I've been watching you off and on over the years and I want to tell you that you have such a strength and clarity to all that you do. You voice your opinions and stand in your truth while holding space for others and that is admirable. You are Queen of online boundries. I ADORE this series and want to thank you for showing up in the world. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
As someone with both PTSD and Fibromyalgia, that talk about invisible illnesses really hit home. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I think most people do not understand how often it happens. Thank you for your thoughtful language around "silver-lining" illnesses, but also thank you for doing the hard thing and speaking up about how you were treated and seeking change. I know that is incredibly emotionally exhausting. And finally just big thank you for sharing these more intimate reads, it's a very vulnerable thing to do and is appreciated. It was very helpful, I love hearing how others read, and what they associate with each cards. I hope you have a lovely day.
Thank you for letting us see your emotions when reading with this deck. It’s both powerful and beautiful. Your strength shines. For me that is what Tarot Can help with; feeling and understanding.
The "everything happens for a reason" idea is one I've had arguments with people about in the past. I remember upsetting the perfect harmony of a spiritual group many years ago by daring to disagree with a lady who believed she had been sexually abused by a family member as punishment for having sexually abused that individual in a past life. Whilst I do believe in past lives, this punitive model of reincarnation is not one I believe in. For me it allows wrongdoers off the hook, allowing abusers the excuse "I was just being an agent of karma!" I rather believe that we experience exactly what we have dealt out to others, good and bad, after death in the between-life state - thus we purge ourselves of our wrongdoing by experiencing the suffering we have caused in full during our life review. We come back into incarnation to be better, not to take revenge or be avenged upon. The punitive model leads to all sorts of grotesque ideas in my view, not least of which is complacency. People are abusive not "because it's written in the stars" for that to happen, but because they're ignorant spiritually and fail to see the essential sanctity and value in whoever they're abusing. I don't think it's any more complicated than that personally.
The ‘everything happens for a reason’ is so often so toxic and harmful, I agree. I have seen some people use it to apply to their own trauma in ways that has been healing for them, and I would never want to invalidate a victim’s own process in dealing with complex trauma. I just hate that it is so often used against people to actively victim blame! Not cool at all! Thank you for your comment x
I greatly appreciate this comment as it expresses perfectly something that has troubled me for years about this victim/abuse dynamic. I have rejected the belief that the victim has agreed to be abused, and attracts it as retribution for previous life acts. This is scapegoating the victim and frees the abuser from taking responsibility for their horrendous actions. That can’t be right! Recently, I read it is a flawed belief to see karma transfer from a past life to be atoned for in this life. Rather, the author argued that we incarnate with three karmic lessons; physical, emotional and spiritual, to work through in this life. These were explained as challenges for our soul’s growth which when integrated allowed us to attain the ‘gift’ hidden within these lessons. Also, they were not attached to suffering of any kind and certainly not to accept abuse. That being said, if it helps a victim of abuse to believe that their suffering is atonement and releases them from karmic attachments to the abuser, then I am not going to judge them either. If that works for them, then I congratulate them for being this strong, but don’t want to see it used against others who are not willing or capable to do the same.
Yup, I totally agree, it is definitely not true that "everything happens for a reason". Of course that doesn't mean that one cannot use those things to improve the self - just because someone DOES end up a stronger person because of what happened, it certainly doesn't mean it happened for a reason, and DEFINITELY doesn't absolve a perpetrator.
This is the video that finally convinced me to get this deck! I'd heard of it last year (probably through another one of your videos), and always brushed it aside before. Hearing and seeing you read the cards put it in a whole different light for me! I've been working with it for December for a Yule Challenge and it did not disappoint!!
Yay! I was hoping you would keep this deck! I must tell you that I thoroughly enjoy this series and your thoughtful interpretations and insights. I know you talked about not taking any new projects on, but I for one, would love to read a Tarot book written by you with all of your wonderful interpretations!
Thank you so much for that kind feedback! I’m not sure about a tarot book from me any time soon, but you’ll definitely be getting more of these videos at least! 😅❤️
I enjoyed this so much-thank you for sharing your readings. I’m new to tarot and it’s so interesting to hear others’ interpretations and insights for the various cards-but also to see this as an in-depth process to determine if a deck still belongs in one’s collection. I was swept up by unboxing videos the past several months and bought so many-too many decks. I’m trying to show myself some grace that it’s normal to get excited and impulsive about a new passion, and it has been a way to discover what type of decks work and don’t work for me…but now I need to pause, really use each deck I have, and decide if it should stay with me or pass it on to a new home to be better appreciated. I also really love this type of video content. It was fascinating to see this beautiful deck get used-and I think that 8 of Wands is my favorite 8 of Wands, but I don’t feel this knee jerk compulsion to go out and buy a new pretty deck, but rather adopt this process for a deck I already own. You don’t even know how freeing that feels! I’ve also been struggling with how to even use my decks in a meaningful way that justifies having so many decks, and your video gave me some great ideas. Thank you so so much!
I think that experience of getting swept up is certainly not an uncommon one, I know I did the same thing. Definitely don’t beat yourself up over it, but it’s great you’ve been able to find some greater awareness around it and get to a point where you can enjoy and appreciate decks you see online without feeling the desperation to buy them yourself. It’s a much healthier headspace to be in, that’s for sure! Thank you for your feedback on this video, I’m glad to hear it’s useful! 😊
I second this! I started really doubling down on my tarot studies as it has helped me sort my thoughts and deeper inner feelings as I go through therapy. I can't express how it has helped me get myself sorted out. I've just found this channel and I love Katey's vibe. Hearing others interpretations about the cards is very helpful to me.
The way you firmly set boundaries in the beginning of this video without being defensive is truly inspiring. I'm still learning how to do this, but I'm definitely defensive and fearful so this was beautiful to see.
Good morning Katey, It's always good to hear how a confident, intelligent and articulate person can delineate what responses are helpful and what is not. Love that intro! Thank you for demonstrating those readings. So glad you are still creating content on this channel.
I have a similar opinion about the Fountain Tarot, that it feels very neutral and is able to give clarity while sort of helping to tone down the emotional "fraught-ness" of a situation and bring some serenity to the feelings around it. I LOVE the format of this series!
I’m sorry to hear that you had this experience when you wanted to get vaccinated! I loved all the readings in this video and particularly the one you did to support yourself, I will definitely look into that spread. I got the Fountain Tarot in a trade a couple of months ago but haven’t worked with it much yet, looking forward to doing that! I really appreciate you nuanced interpretations of the cards.
Sending you love and support, my sister. Hopefully the world grows from your experience quickly, this kind of love and support is much overdue. FYI: This read is EXCELLENT for those going through trauma. Thank you for sharing!
Loving that your back doing videos. Kudos to you and thank you for sharing. You have a way with words and you have a strength in you that when pushed you express yourself and stand up for what you believe in. Very passionate. Love it
This is such a great series. I admire your sharing your personal readings. It makes the review so much clearer. I have this deck and I like but don't love it. Although I love some cards. I don't know if it'll stay long term but I think your approach here is great. I'll look forward to the next one.
I love that you wore a rainbow shirt and your books are categorized by color behind you! Also, I'm sorry to hear about your bad experience with the vaccination process. Thank you for doing readings with this deck and for being vulnerable esp on a public platform. I keep seeing the Fountain Tarot and all the love for it, but I'm sad that it does not call out to me, because it really is beautiful.
I smiled when the strength card came out for you. To me you embody this so beautifully throughout this video. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing how you use tarot for enquiry and self care. This is one of the best tarot series I have seen on tarot tube to date and I am so grateful for it. In a sea of unboxing and collection videos (which admittedly have their place) it is so refreshing to see how you work with your deck/s and spreads. I think as a community we need more of that and I hope that your series will inspire others to make content with a bit more substance. I'm struggling to articulate how I'm feeling without offending anyone. But I think a shift from the sometimes consumerist focus on new decks and acquiring the latest and greatest shiny new deck, to how to use these beautiful tools is really important to create balance in this space. Thank you for your wonderful contribution to this with this series. ❤
I know what you mean and don’t think you’ve expressed it in a way that should be offensive at all. I’m so happy to hear you’re enjoying the series and finding it valuable. Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤️
I am so here for this kind of content - I love seeing someone interact with a deck in real time, especially with an eye to keeping or culling a deck. thank you for sharing some personal things in order to do that. also I loved that you said the deck feels watery and airy to you - I guess it is well named then, as when I hear fountain, I think of water going through the air.
Thank you for this! I love the format. Seeing how you interpret cards and card position is so interesting to me. I don't have this deck. Your appreciation, and enjoyment of this deck has given me a delightful way of liking this deck! I am sorry about your vaccine experience, if you want to "talk" and/or "rant" a bit I am all ears. I am either an email or zoom call away my friend. Take care of yourself! PS I love seeing you trying different spreads and seeing how you modify them to fit your question or what is going on at the moment.
I really enjoyed your interpretations of the cards that you drew. It’s funny that you mentioned the RWCS deck and the 9 of Cups being smug. I feel like that is most of the deck. I know people say to start with that deck when first starting to read, but I am glad that I didn’t because I have a hard time interpreting the cards, the white book meanings don’t make sense to me. I am always amazed that people can read it. I really enjoyed the cards of this deck and your interpretations.
Haha I can appreciate that about the RWS! 😅 I think it can be a great place to start for some, but definitely not right or required for many people. It’s great you were able to start with a deck that resonated more! 😊
Thank you for sharing your personal readings with us. I love your personal interpretation of the cards, as well as your referencing the words and messages more ‘formally’ associated with them. I’ve only just got my first tarot cards and this has been so useful x
Ugh, sorry to hear about your experience in trying to get vaxxed. I really enjoyed seeing how you worked with this deck! Still on the fence about it for myself, but I can appreciate why people love it so much 💜
Thank you! The "everything happens for a reason" thing is something I argue with my boyfriend about all the time. I do not believe in that idea at all.
What an excellent video! I hope you continue to do 'readings' online like this, as it's always interesting to see how another tarot reader makes connections and considers the cards and positions. I'm not familiar with this deck myself, so this was my first introduction to it. I'm not sure the deck is 'me' but I see it's quite nuanced in many ways. This is a lot better than a flip-through, to get me familiar with a deck. How are you doing the shuffling and card selection for this video? Are the cards pre-shuffled, and are you just pulling cards at random, or are you pulling them off the top or bottom of the deck? You kept dropping cards, which makes me think the cards are probably in your hand, not on a table? Anyway, thanks again. You've certainly exhibited how a tarot reading can help a person analyze a situation, without making it into a predictive exercise. I'm hoping to see more 'reading' videos like this. For yourself, or maybe for another person at some point?
Thank you, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the video! As for my shuffling, I’m just doing overhand shuffles in my lap for each card. I have done a video on how I do readings if you’d like a bit more specific info about that :) th-cam.com/video/pUd_tQkJkXM/w-d-xo.html I’ll definitely be doing more videos in this series! I’ve just started a new one working with the Spacious Tarot, so that will be up sometime in September!
Such a great idea for a series, I really enjoyed this video! I loved to hear you interpret the cards with so much sensitivity and depth, you really modelled it for me. Thank you, Katey!
Rather new in my journey with Tarot and just discovered your channel (which is awesome)! I’ve been working with The Fountain Tarot and absolutely love it! It just speaks to me in so many ways! Question though - what Oracle deck do you use with it (if you do)? I’m having trouble finding one that seems to “match” or compliment it. I haven’t found a deck yet that matches it’s energy. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Thank you for stating these series of videos. I love your interpretations of the cards and the spreads you chose. This was a wish of mine for you to do readings on You Tube. I appreciate your honesty and the topics you bring up. Mental health is the one topic I am always interested in as I have dealt with Bipolar Disorder and C-PTSD for my entire life. You are such a smart gal! :) Edit: Yay you kept it !
Katey! i just got this deck. You inspired me to get it and I love it so Thank You! I have a quick question for you, what are your thoughts about Justice being number VIII and not number XI? Isn't that really more on the side of the Marseille system? I apologize if I'm asking a question you've already addressed.
Hello Katey, this video was engaging and very interesting. Thank you for sharing these spreads and the beautiful Fountain Tarot. Coming to Tarot late in life means that this deck is a new one for me so I am not experienced with it as yet. I was relieved that you are keeping it! I agree with you that the feel of this deck connects particularly to water and air. I find it very centring and calming, as it connects the heart and mind which is the balance I seek when I read the Tarot. I had some observations when I saw the cards you drew which I thought you may enjoy hearing. First, the Three of Wands immediately reminds me of a vector diagram in Physics. The two outward forces are the two wands while the rope the man pulls is the vector addition for these forces. He has to exert an equal force in a direction that keeps the two other forces balanced. This observation may add an interesting layer for interpreting this card. The other observation connected to both the Chariot and Magician cards. Both of these have the Rune symbol Mannaz, hidden or not so hidden in the artwork. It is more obvious in the Chariot card and less obvious in the Magician, but I see it with the crossing of the wand and sword and the lines that are faintly drawn from the ends. Mannaz connects to humanity both individually and collectively. Your comment about taking action to address an injustice you endured, and your hope that it will bring a compassionate response towards others who visit the clinic connects well with Mannaz and the Chariot card.
Awesome video. You are such a great reader ! I've never connected with The Fountain Tarot. It's like looking into another dimension through 4 veils for me. lol. I'm sorry you had to deal with that situation at the drs office. Know that because you did others won't have to. You're amazing Katey ! Sending you well wishes ! :O) Also, I'm really enjoying this series. Thx!
I’m really sorry that you had to go through such a horrible and emotional experience while trying to get vaccinated. I’m glad you took a proactive stance so it doesn’t keep happening. You are so strong! Remember that always.
It’s something I first read about in Tarot for Yourself by MK Greer where you calculate a number based on your birthdate. Mine is 29 September 1990, so 29+9+1990=2028 then you keep adding those digits together until you get a number between 1 and 22 (22 would be The Fool). So 2+0+2+8= 12 which is The Hanged Man. Hope that makes sense! 😊
Im glad you felt empowered within yourself to take that vaccine situation and escalate your (very valid) concerns to a higher level in that work force. Too often people dont feel they can/should do that, which means change and education doesnt have an opportunity. Not that that outcome is always the way it goes, which is pretty terrible.
Yes, that is one thing I try to do. Even though it doesn’t make the experience okay, I can at least comfort myself a little hoping that it’s produced an opportunity for education and change. Thank you ❤️

Yesss! Beautifully said! And thank you 🥰
The "everything happens for a reason" idea is one I've had arguments with people about in the past. I remember upsetting the perfect harmony of a spiritual group many years ago by daring to disagree with a lady who believed she had been sexually abused by a family member as punishment for having sexually abused that individual in a past life. Whilst I do believe in past lives, this punitive model of reincarnation is not one I believe in. For me it allows wrongdoers off the hook, allowing abusers the excuse "I was just being an agent of karma!"

We come back into incarnation to be better, not to take revenge or be avenged upon. The punitive model leads to all sorts of grotesque ideas in my view, not least of which is complacency. People are abusive not "because it's written in the stars" for that to happen, but because they're ignorant spiritually and fail to see the essential sanctity and value in whoever they're abusing.

The pink makeup palette is FIRE!!! I love it!

This is so helpful and instructive for me, thank you so much.

I just started reading tarot last week and your channel has helped me so much. I love your videos!
Oh wow! Thanks so much George! I hope you’re enjoying your tarot journey 😊

As for my shuffling, I’m just doing overhand shuffles in my lap for each card. I have done a video on how I do readings if you’d like a bit more specific info about that :) th-cam.com/video/pUd_tQkJkXM/w-d-xo.html
I’ll definitely be doing more videos in this series! I’ve just started a new one working with the Spacious Tarot, so that will be up sometime in September!
Such a great idea for a series, I really enjoyed this video! I loved to hear you interpret the cards with so much sensitivity and depth, you really modelled it for me. Thank you, Katey!
Thank you! ❤️
Excellent video and excellent readings. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. I could relate to so much of this guidance right now too.
Thanks Pamela! X
Rather new in my journey with Tarot and just discovered your channel (which is awesome)! I’ve been working with The Fountain Tarot and absolutely love it! It just speaks to me in so many ways! Question though - what Oracle deck do you use with it (if you do)? I’m having trouble finding one that seems to “match” or compliment it. I haven’t found a deck yet that matches it’s energy. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Thank you for stating these series of videos. I love your interpretations of the cards and the spreads you chose. This was a wish of mine for you to do readings on You Tube. I appreciate your honesty and the topics you bring up. Mental health is the one topic I am always interested in as I have dealt with Bipolar Disorder and C-PTSD for my entire life. You are such a smart gal! :)
Edit: Yay you kept it !
Thank you, it’s lovely to hear you’re enjoying the series!
Katey! i just got this deck. You inspired me to get it and I love it so Thank You! I have a quick question for you, what are your thoughts about Justice being number VIII and not number XI? Isn't that really more on the side of the Marseille system? I apologize if I'm asking a question you've already addressed.
Hello Katey, this video was engaging and very interesting. Thank you for sharing these spreads and the beautiful Fountain Tarot. Coming to Tarot late in life means that this deck is a new one for me so I am not experienced with it as yet. I was relieved that you are keeping it! I agree with you that the feel of this deck connects particularly to water and air. I find it very centring and calming, as it connects the heart and mind which is the balance I seek when I read the Tarot. I had some observations when I saw the cards you drew which I thought you may enjoy hearing. First, the Three of Wands immediately reminds me of a vector diagram in Physics. The two outward forces are the two wands while the rope the man pulls is the vector addition for these forces. He has to exert an equal force in a direction that keeps the two other forces balanced. This observation may add an interesting layer for interpreting this card. The other observation connected to both the Chariot and Magician cards. Both of these have the Rune symbol Mannaz, hidden or not so hidden in the artwork. It is more obvious in the Chariot card and less obvious in the Magician, but I see it with the crossing of the wand and sword and the lines that are faintly drawn from the ends. Mannaz connects to humanity both individually and collectively. Your comment about taking action to address an injustice you endured, and your hope that it will bring a compassionate response towards others who visit the clinic connects well with Mannaz and the Chariot card.
Ooh these are things I wasn’t familiar with - how interesting! Thank you!
Loved this video! Love from Portugal 🇵🇹
Thanks Fábio! ❤️
Awesome video. You are such a great reader ! I've never connected with The Fountain Tarot. It's like looking into another dimension through 4 veils for me. lol. I'm sorry you had to deal with that situation at the drs office. Know that because you did others won't have to. You're amazing Katey ! Sending you well wishes ! :O) Also, I'm really enjoying this series. Thx!
Haha different stroked for different folks I guess! And thank you, Jill. That means a lot ❤️
💜💜💜 Great idea! ☺️ I need to do this. My collection is becoming overwhelming. Thanks for sharing.
I’m sorry to hear your collection has become a source of overwhelm! I can definitely identify with that feeling, which I had maybe two years ago. ❤️
@@KateyFlowers Yes! But I just love trying out new decks, so… the ones that don’t really resonate will be very gently used and then gifted or sold. 🦋🌸
@@crownlotus1111 lovely!
I loved this, thank you 😊
Thanks Jodie!
I decluttered the fountain tarot because as beautiful as it is, it feels cold to me and sort of unfriendly?
I’ve heard a lot of people describe their experience with the Fountain Tarot as ‘cold’ or ‘unfriendly’, so you’re definitely not alone!
@@KateyFlowers thanks for telling me. I didn’t know! 💗
I’m really sorry that you had to go through such a horrible and emotional experience while trying to get vaccinated. I’m glad you took a proactive stance so it doesn’t keep happening. You are so strong! Remember that always.
Thank you! 😭❤️
How do you know what your birth card is? I've never heard that term before.
It’s something I first read about in Tarot for Yourself by MK Greer where you calculate a number based on your birthdate. Mine is 29 September 1990, so 29+9+1990=2028 then you keep adding those digits together until you get a number between 1 and 22 (22 would be The Fool). So 2+0+2+8= 12 which is The Hanged Man. Hope that makes sense! 😊
Im glad you felt empowered within yourself to take that vaccine situation and escalate your (very valid) concerns to a higher level in that work force. Too often people dont feel they can/should do that, which means change and education doesnt have an opportunity. Not that that outcome is always the way it goes, which is pretty terrible.
Yes, that is one thing I try to do. Even though it doesn’t make the experience okay, I can at least comfort myself a little hoping that it’s produced an opportunity for education and change. Thank you ❤️
3 ands in the beginning......... How... (no shade to the vlogger i respect your work)
Sorry I’m not a robot 🤖🙃
