Knocking on the cards is a way to clear/break off old energy that might be stuck on them, so the deck can absorb only your current energy. It's supposed to be especially helpful to do that "knocking" on them if you've used the deck for another reading recently. :)
I'm a bit of an Oracle, Tarot, Lenormand, Kipper, and Gypsy card addict myself. I like to hold mine in sage smoke or lay them on Selenite. When I open them I go through and look at each card and make sure they are all there and there aren't any printing errors like double print making the print blurry. Sometimes you get these counterfeit decks on Amazon and other sites and the printing isn't as good as it should be. I've found some really beautiful decks on Etsy. For me it's almost like collecting art. I definitely have a problem.😅
Nice decks! I'm going to order one of the other decks you show. The Healing Spirits Oracle. I have tarot decks too but not a reader of Tarot. They have to resonate with me to buy them and I usually choose by artwork or author.
be careful what crystals you put in water! there are ones that shouldn't get wet. like selenite. it's water soluble and can be damaged if it comes in contact with water, even a rinse. it's said selenite is self-cleansing. so are citrine & kyanite. If you need to cleanse crystals, you can put them with one of those three. or do the day of sun, night of moon cleansing. or put them through some sage smoke. I do the same with cards... shuffle them, look at each, waft each card through some sage smoke or incense, put a crystal on them overnight. & those cards you opened are pretty nice. I'll have to keep them in mind and get them if/when i get some christmas gift money. I tend to collect cards... tarot, oracle, astrology, affirmation... even working on creating my own. I think of the decks I have as units of art work. & some of the cards you chose to show us seemed like messages to me. Universe confirming what I've been doing and some thoughts I've been having so thank you for sharing your deck haul with us!
Imagine a scale 0-100. 100 is full of energy. Imagine your cards reading full of energy, now imagine all of the energy flowing out to zero. After this type of cleansing release, imagine your energy going into your cards and filling them 100% with your love and joy.
Such beautiful cards! 💖 I also think it would be fun to know what crystals you have. I love that you mentioned it because I’ve recently been thinking about how I want to expand my collection & learn more about them.
I like to smudge EVERYTHING with copal, sage, or palo santo. I also have a singing bowl I use to request my guides to appear. If I feel like the card energy is getting a little sticky or confused, I will sit them on a piece of selenite overnight.
I Love the Akashic deck. . .artwork and texts. Texts are powerful. . .especially for these days. Let me suggest Teri Uktena for information on the Akashics . . . she's brilliant and generous with her learning.
Ya, the multi tasking thing. I get tempted to go back to my old job for the paycheck. It pays well but is very multitasking oriented. I just want to do direct sales for cosmetics and skin care. Nurses have a saying in the other company: you sell somebody the wrong shade of eyeshadow and nobody dies. Much less stress. But the pay check thing……
I have always been more drawn to traditional Marseille style tarot decks. I like the neutrality of these decks, not having the drama presented by the artist's inclinations. Some of the Oracle decks look promising though and the unboxing gives me a better idea about them.
Can you make a section and list your card collection. . Card collection with name of the owner Example: Healing Spirit by Gordon Smith. I not get the info on the video
I’m so grateful to just have stumbled across this channel. It’s been so comfy, fun and a safe learning space. I love the unboxings. It helps me get a feel for a deck. I had a reaction to a couple of them that I’ll have to look for now. Thank you Karen and the Collective. 💜🔮♍️
@@mariav6198 cool, I would imagine you'd want to keep the box small so you don't have to root around too much. I only have 2 sets of cards, Goddess Cards and Ascended Masters. I haven't gone to them in a long time. Karen's readings are getting me reinvigorated again. How do you decide which deck you're going to use when?
Mostly you will know based on the energy. Example, you might have a favorite you want to use and that will be your answer. Whether you’re attracted to the box, the design, want certain responses based on the oracle deck, etc, those will be your clues in choosing. Think of it like grocery shopping. You want to buy an item… ask yourself why you chose the 3rd box instead of the 1st one in front? Or why did you choose from the 2nd column instead of the 4th? You don’t really think too much about it, you just pick your item, no different than choosing the deck you’re going to use 😊 … Or you want ice cream and have different flavors in your freezer, you will choose the one you crave the most. You just follow your intuition.
Some people have a dedicated space for reading, no different than an art studio, so they will have a bookshelf for all the different decks, alongside their many crystals and Spiritual altar. Best if organized in alphabetical order to easily find the one you want to use or organize by author/designer. So for me, I would organize all of my CIRO MARCHETTI decks in order and put those on one side since they are used the most. All other decks will be in alphabetical order after the CM decks. I will probably continue to further categorize by oracle, angel cards and then tarot. Like walking into a video store and figuring out if you want to watch a romantic comedy or need some drama. Still in alphabetical order but categorized in order so you can find what you’re looking for 😂
I'm glad you had a good visit, I'm so glad to see you tonight. You are so down to earth, and it helps keep me grounded in these turbulent times.😊
I totally agree with you! I feel like I have a new friend, I look forward to a new video, it adds calmness to my day like a good friend does.
@simplyvenus1 I know, right.🙃
Calming is good!🥰💜
This unboxing is so fun! Thanks for sharing this experience. ❤
This new deck appeals to me. Beautiful art and straight forward messages.
I love unboxing videos. I collect oracle card decks and I always find out about several new ones to add to my wish list!

@LindaThompson8999, What wonderful things to collect though.
Great suggestions. That’s very helpful. Ohhhh Etsy. Here I come. 🤣🤣
I am a bit of a newbie, I have to be honest I didn’t know that there was a difference between oracle and tarot.
Those cards are beautiful
I never heard about the akashic Records until very recently. Fascinating.
I like the Akaschic Oracle too. Love the colors and the descriptions on the cards.
Nice decks! I'm going to order one of the other decks you show. The Healing Spirits Oracle. I have tarot decks too but not a reader of Tarot. They have to resonate with me to buy them and I usually choose by artwork or author.
So far, I love the Akasia deck.

Wow. Thank you for adding this info. about the crystals. Very helpful. I’ll always consult with the store I buy them from first.
I love those new cards, Karen, they are beautiful.
Imagine a scale 0-100. 100 is full of energy. Imagine your cards reading full of energy, now imagine all of the energy flowing out to zero. After this type of cleansing release, imagine your energy going into your cards and filling them 100% with your love and joy.
Love it. Thanks for adding that technique.
Love and gratitude 💕
I liked deck #3, the artwork really vibed with me.🥰
Wow! I really love the orange celestial body that appears to be present in all of the cards of the 2nd deck.
Such beautiful cards!
💖
I also think it would be fun to know what crystals you have. I love that you mentioned it because I’ve recently been thinking about how I want to expand my collection & learn more about them.
Beautiful cards! ♥️

I believe you knock on the deck to clear the energy
My favorite is Cosmic Energy.
I Love the Akashic deck. . .artwork and texts. Texts are powerful. . .especially for these days.

Ooh, those look cool, the name enchanted strikes me somehow.
Follow that. Your guides are telling you something. ❤️🤗😇
@askthespiritguides just ordered them

Love Cards, I have been reading Tarot Cards for 28 years now 😍
That's awesome!
I sleep with them, I also have done clearing at night under a full Moon same with crystals 😍😊
I would use the Akasha Deck for a card for the day draw ....
Cool! I like that idea.

Knocking 3X on the deck is intended to clear the deck
Except selenite. I believe you don’t run it under water. I need to look that up again.
I couldn’t see the first part. 😳
@mattazmy. . . .she did that one 2 weeks ago. . .
You can watch it here - th-cam.com/video/-i37KQ6Q6Fs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lQFLzG_UPX4ZSqyG 🤗
@@janeebarrett2463 Thank you so much. Have a great day. 😊
I think I processed and responded to the previous video I watched oops.
How and where do you keep all of your different sets of cards so that you can easily find the one that you're looking for?
I have a pretty box where I used to keep cd’s. It’s sturdy and I have 7 sets of cards with room for more.
I’m so grateful to just have stumbled across this channel. It’s been so comfy, fun and a safe learning space.
I love the unboxings. It helps me get a feel for a deck. I had a reaction to a couple of them that I’ll have to look for now. Thank you Karen and the Collective. 💜🔮♍️
