Dear Lisa, I wanted to congratulate for your rich and entertaining content. Most of all I want to express how out of this world are your magnetic personality together with the love and persistent care that you put into this youtube project of yours. Keep up the amazingness! 🧚🏻🍄
"The very substance of our physical bodies is composed of elements of the earth and the stars!" Oh hell YES this is my jam - I'm a scientist and this is not only true but mystical and cool AF! That Messages from the Ancestors Oracle has my name on it haha. I like this 'hot takes' vibe - keep the videos coming!
I accidentally bought both of the Dan May decks because I got so confused. lol I searched for "Gentle Creatures" in my email to make sure I pre-ordered it and nothing came up so I pre-ordered it. It turns out I had pre-ordered "Into the Lonely Woods" so that's why it didn't come up. I thought it was one deck! So weird.
I've had two kickstarters where the creator has disappeared, they usually log in during the campaign and even interact. The lack of interaction or logging in makes me question if something has happened to the creator rather than them just being scammy.
I agree - it's odd all the way around. I will say that the oddness of this campaign certainly isn't limited to the lack of communication but the lack of communication is concerning for backers regardless. I really do hope everyone involved is okay!!!
Thanks, Lisa! I enjoy your hot takes so much, and your integrity in letting us know you lost some footage makes me happy. I mean, I wish we had the footage, but I love that it's not in your nature to be fake. Also thanks for the update on the Maven tarot mystery. I don't know why I am so captivated by this saga, but I am.
32:15 The creator of the Seaglass Tarot had some setbacks and delays in finishing the art, but decks are being sent out now. I just got mine and it's so pretty.
We definitely wanna see photos - yes!! :D I do think photos of every card is probably not a good idea because of all the pirating that happens, I'm usually pretty happy with a couple majors, a couple minors and (ideally) at least one court card. :D
I made it safely to the end of the video...no decks in my cart or wishlist! WOW...I think I am finally ready for a low buy 2022! lol Thank you for sharing, Lisa! xx
I so enjoy your hot takes, it save me so much time and effort researching new decks! Hehe plus, I just enjoy hearing what you think about all the upcoming releases. I got the first edition of the Northern Animal Tarot and while it's pretty thin, as a riffle shuffler, I'm glad I invested in that one. As always thanks for sharing your amazing content with us! ❤️
Oh Lisa, me too. I looked at the WITCH oracle and would have backed it and then... no international shipping 😢 I even debated asking a friend in the US to help me but I've decided to wait and hope Hay House or someone pick it up.
LISA HI I saw you were so excited about the Orcles Deck INTO THE LONELY WOODS. I Found a Flip through of the whole entire Deck. Channel name is The Rune Workshop. I just Purchased the other orcles Gentle Creatures Wisdom I didn't realize it was released in 2005 , I have to wait till Jan 15th to receive it but it looks like a really comforting Deck Thank You Hugs Caroline 😘 ❤️
Only one major temptation for me here, and it was that Wisdom of the Crow Tarot, which I hadn't seen before! It has all the magical autumn and liminal spaces "feels" to me and just something primitive and powerful. I will most likely be backing that one. *long, drawn-out, anxious sigh* lol! Thank your for all the effort you put into this series (especially having to re-record this one!); it's such a joy for us deck enthusiasts to get a quick run-down of what's coming out every month from someone so passionate and genuine (you). :)
Seeing the Into the Lonely Woods just... makes me want a Maurice Sendak 'Where the Wild Things Are' oracle, which would be all nostalgic feelings for me.
I thought/assumed that the Seeker Oracle by Ravynne Phelan is a revised edition of the Messenger oracle? I think i need to wait and see a youtube video on the Seeker Oracle before i purchase it. Always great to see your hot takes :)
The Seeker Oracle is designed to be able to combine or use with the Messenger Oracle. I have it pre-ordered . . Can't wait . . Mine is scheduled to arrive Jan 12.
I was on the bus when I saw the notification and I couldn't wait to go home to get my tea and biscuit ready for this video. I don't exagurate when I say everyone in my house knows I love Lisa and I enjoy her videos. My daughter thinks we are friends just because she saw me a few times watching your videos and I sent her a playlist of your keyword series. I will write in points again just incase I went chatty : * I noticed a trend in the newly released tarot decks where they feel almost commercial with no connection between the art and the meaning. The True Tarot might be the 5th I see and shake my head. To me, if they left the deck without the guidebook and the meaning connected to RWS, it would be much better. * Now, I've looked through new coming decks before and I also put the Seeker oracle and the Great Eastern oracle in my maybe list. About Rassouli, I have a personal problem because I actually grew up with one of his paintings hanged in our living room .. I have Persian/Turkish roots from my dad's side and that's the only thing he gave me. I have a strong connection to the art style. It is part of my ancestor journey and somehow it feels home, familiar ... like visiting an old memory. I need to get more of his decks at one point but they are way too many and they can fall in similarity sometimes. For example, I got the Rumi oracle because I love Rumi and studied his philosophy and books for a couple of years. However, that oracle felt very similar to the journey of love as in similar energy/messages and maybe that's my fault because Rumi's journey in itself is a lot about love too. So yea .. I am very interested but I need a different journey/theme for it to works .. I truly think Rassouli's work could be amazing for self-healing .. Ancestor's wound but we are yet to see anyone pair it with that. * Whenever I look at goddess oracles .. I always wonder how many we can have? There are a lot out there and in this topic .. it is confusing to me. I have a problem with goddesses depiction being different in each artist style which is why I prefer going with one goddess : one oracle deck .. so I can work with that goddess energy in this setting but not have her another way. Sometimes I wish they have no faces or features .. just a beam of light because these human features and their differences between artists is not helping me. Of course, that's my opinion and my problem with goddesses decks .. and I wish I can solve that because until today, I have none in my collection and I truly want one * Dany May art .. confusing. These gentle creatures look like cuddly teddy bears and I don't want an oracle with teddy bears .. I donno .. I don't think my mind understand them. Maybe they work well for people who had animals as imaginary friends especially for childhood wounds .. but I always had people as imaginary friends .. and I never saw my fluffy animals as anything else but toys. Also, they have no faces? that also confuse me. * Then here I am .. in danger because of the happiness chemicals oracle which seems to work very well with self-care oracle [right?]. Also, Essential oils have labels and mine says if it is for diffuser, body and bath .. or not. I do think it is important for people to understand .. they come with labels and instructions :) .. * I can't talk about the W.I.T.C.H oracle .. I tried to pack it last month but .. I got heart broken. It is sad how they are not making extra copies nor going to provide it to resellers .. I hope somehow some shops managed to collect a few copies. I mean .. that would be a compensation for others who are not in the US. * On other hand, I totally backed the Northern Animal tarot. I watched Dani's video about it. I went through the cards with her and when I noticed the changes on the 2nd edition, I knew .. this is the deck for me. I always was interested in the 1st one but not enough to buy it. * Please do a walkthrough of your ocean tarot and the healing waves tarot .. such gorgeous decks. I don't work well with animal decks .. and that's why I didn't back the healing waves but I missed the ocean tarot and that deck seems very interesting. and this is where I told myself .. I shouldn't actively engage in each tarot deck or oracle deck you talk about or I will be in huge troubles XD .. The Maven tarot project is truly worrying. When someone disappear from the face of earth .. I always worry that something bad happened .. like a hospitalisation or death. It is mostly because I once had to cover an 18 hours shift when my coworker who was driving to the hospital had an accident and died instantly. Life is short and I hate disappearances. I actually was waiting to report my shift to her and had to extend my wait for 2 hours before knowing the news. How I felt while waiting and after hearing the news was a contract of emotions. I hope backers can get their money back ..
That's so scary and hard what happened with your coworker. Yeah disappear with no contact... it's always worrisome for sure. It just seems.... like the idea itself and the campaign itself don't make sense -then you add the disappearance on top of that and it really does look fishy. I'm not saying it is - it just gives me uncomfortable vibes.... I do hope everyone is safe/okay though. I think Dan May's creatures looking so fuzzy/cuddly (teddybear-like) is exactly why I lvoe them LOL. I also agree with you about Goddess decks... I don't have room for very many in my collection despite the fact that I love working with them... for the same reasons as you!
I backed the infernal brand Tarot and he sent out an email saying that he was planning originally on having pip minors and after talking to people changed it and had to make the minors, so he is going to repost on Kickstarter once it's done. I think he's planning on having it in different versions, maybe color schemes? I would die if this was black and hot pink 😳💖
Ahhh! Northern Animal Tarot 2nd edition, campaign is still open but there's no spots left to buy the deck. Unless I'm viewing it wrong lol. Ah well guess it's a sign that I should keep my money in my wallet today haha. That Fairytale Oracle is sure pretty though... Great video as always Lisa! Made me happy to spend my lunch break watching it. :)
No spots left?!?!? Oh no! I've never seen that happen before, that's odd, usually a creator wouldn't close it off until the campaign ends and place their order with their printer based on the number of backers - but there's probably a good reason.... I wonder if there will be a chance to buy it after the campaign?
It looks like there was only a limited amount of decks available from the get go, and I’m pretty sure I grabbed the last one this weekend, but I’ve seen it open back up again as people change their mind and decide to unback. If you check back frequently you might still be able to grab one. And/or if you don’t have the 1st edition they’re 20% off on her website right now. Hope that helps!
I added a few of the MM decks to my wishlist. I did back the W.I.T.C.H. Deck because for me, it kinda gave me tarot of Delphi vibes & I figure that as close as I’ll ever get to that deck ☹️ and I’m strongly considering the black cat tarot and the Baroque tarot.
Thank you for your "Hot Takes" twice over! Darn technical difficulties! I purchased the Gentle Creatures Oracle from US Games; four of the fourty-eight cards are landscape/horizontal. Also, I looked at Blue Angle's website and they had more examples of the cards. They were listed individually, allowing a full view of the card. I hope this helps for anyone who was interested. Lisa, thank you for your content and conversations. I look forward to your next video. All my best, Amber
Oooooh fun! That Wisdom of the Crow Tarot looks amazing 🤩 - ooooohhhhh! The Goddess Spirit was an indie deck first - I got it a few years ago - the creator is in Australia or NZ I think. I didn't know it was going to be a mass market deck. Love these videos Lisa, thank you for putting all this time and energy for us to see these new releases and as always love your hot takes - even the second time around not so hot - hot takes 😂 sometimes tech is just a poo! Handled it like a boss tho👍 💕😊🙏 Xxxx
@@joanb. Yes, I received it last week or so. It is amazing. There is a spelling mistake on the Hierophant card, which I don‘t mind too much, but the rest is super. Great cardstock, nice shimmer effect, beautiful illustrations, nice hard box. I am satisfied with all of it!
I have to get a dragon Oracle! Why u ask? I’m getting Smoke Ash & Ember!!!!! Aaaand Oak Ash & Thorn! Shut the front door! I’m sooo excited! I’ve heard really good things about the Dragon’s Path Oracle…the pics I saw are gorgeous!!! I’ll get back to u hold on… I’m back! The Waves of Your Soul had it on her top 5 Oracle decks! I have seen her talk about it a couple times & the pics are amazing…I love how some of them look like guardians to humans or some kind of being in the pics too. She said only bad thing is needs more cards. Has a few energy cards I’m feeling too…
I saw a flip-through of gentle creatures and the cards look really beautiful. There are no "solely landscape" cards among them. I just now came to know about "into the lonely woods". I don't know about the writer of the latter deck, but I'm connecting more with the single keyword on the gentle creatures' cards than with the longer mini-phrases on the "into the lonely woods". Besides, the title "gentle creatures" is cozy and sounds more fitting to the art, in opposition with the other deck's name, which is about loneliness and therefore sounds more negative. I see the Lucy's book is longer than Arwen's, and I usually like an invested guidebook, but I don't know. I've heard one card's interpretation from Arwen's guidebook and it literally describes the card, turning it into a story, but leaves much room to the imagination of the reader as for how to interpret the card. Somehow everything about this deck seems magical to me. Plus it has more cards than the other one, 48, if that counts for anything. And the back of the cards is sooo gorgeous ❤
Ohhhhh by "landscape" i was referring to the orientation of the card - where you have to turn it sideways - vs Portrait orientation which is upright. In Gentle Creatures, there are mostly Portrait oriented cards and a few Landscape oriented cards :) That's all I meant.
This is random but your talk about dragons reminded me. A few months ago in one of your videos you showed a dragon oracle that was super cutesy. Maybe it was like baby dragons or something? Do you know the name of that deck? Was it a fever dream?? Lol.
I stumbled upon the Wild Mystic Oracle, fell in love with it, and pre-ordered it. 😄 Now I can't wait for it to arrive. It was nice to hear your hot take on it and all these other wonderful decks!
I have the Gentle creatures wisdom deck and love it. Love for the images. Oh Lisa you should see my face when you said that W.I.T.C.H kickstarter ship only USA!! I got in early 😅 Didn’t know it was limited. ✨☃️ ❄️
You look gorgeous, dawling. As usual. Loved your video. I tried backing the Northern Animal oracle, but while it is still open, it’s basically sold out. I have no problems with “boy bits” showing. In fact one of my major peeves in tarot decks that show nudity is when they show female bodies in all their glory and then hide the male “bits” behind a banner, cloth, table, plant etc. I notice this seems to occur in a lot of decks, whose target audience is gay men. The models have the most beautiful, often oiled bodies, but have their “bits” hidden. It makes it look as if they are ashamed of their :bits.” …which is a shame as I think most human bodies are beautiful regardless of whom the target audience is. Moving on, one of the things I really like about your videos, which so many other content providers fail to provide, is your links to where the decks can be acquired. Finally, I have one question I was wondering if you know the answer to: are they going to do a reprint of either the Alice Tarot or Place’s Vampire Tarot?
Yah I don't mind boy bits showing either! And, like you, if women are gonna be shown fully nekkid, then men should be also! ;) But I will admit sometimes there's a bit TOO much nudity for me personally - when it comes to boys, specifically - I think all bodies are beautiful, gender irrelevant but can get overwhelmed by male nudity easier than by female nudity which likely simply reflects my personal proclivities LOL. As for your questions - I am unaware of a planned Alice Tarot or Vampire Tarot reprint - however, I have noticed that one of Robert M Place's long OOP decks (Buddha Tarot) is being reprinted as mass market, which gives me hope for the future of the Vampire Tarot! ;) And Baba Studios - I could see them wanting to do a future reprint of Alice given it's success but.... even if they do plan one eventually... I suspect it will be quite a while as there are several projects they've announced ahead of it - their cat one and the Bohemian Gothic reprint, for example. :D
So I just came to find your comment - because I found a reference to a Baba Studios post where they have said they are planning an Alice Tarot reprint in 2022 or 2023!
Oh Lisa, I could see how sad you were about WITCH ☹️ I saw on the campaign that it says Kickstarter only, but it also says it’s a signed limited edition. I wonder if that means they’re going to sell it later just not as the Kickstarter edition? The author has a website with other books that she’s done before up for sale. My hope is that it will be for sale after the campaign, especially since she’s doing a whole year long school/community based on the same concepts that are in the deck. I can’t imagine as an established author with a web shop that she wouldn’t want to continue selling it… my fingers are crossed for you!
I was really sad. In the original chunk of footage that got messed up I was like.... literally getting so excited and going to back and then........ sadface. LOL that first version of the vid was a lot more dramatic about it LOL. But yeah, I reached out to her and it sounds like there will be a few, very limited, copies available to international buyers on her website later - apparently you can sign up for a newsletter to be notified. Looks like she also has a couple decks in progress with US Games as well so the newsletter will probably keep people posted about those too!
I don't know how I missed when I was all waffling over the other two dragon decks you featured that we both have a dragon partner! 😀 I am a robot, and our other nesting partner is an angel. Unfortunately it's hard to find decks with CUTE robots like me (I'm not into like, mechs) and the angel partner is like, the eldritch horror kind of revelations angel with a million eyes and general ineffableness 😂 Don't think there will be a deck like that! Enjoying watching this while I do my EOY deck wishlist update. 1) How are there 424 decks on my wishlist? 2) The good news is, the "definitely want" and "must have" lists keep getting shorter...
Also re: the whole serotonin (or dopamine) shopping thing, I find it FASCINATING how getting medication for my ADHD has changed this. Like, decades of boredom eating for the stimulation of taste on my tongue and struggling with that (from a body-positive perspective, but just having specific health issues related to my chosen snacks!) suddenly gone. First time I thought "huh, I wonder what tarot decks are currently kickstarting" after starting the meds, I somehow did NOT find myself in a stupor blinking at the three decks I just backed, and I was so confused. 😂 So yeah, I guess that whole brain chemicals thing does have some validity! Even right now as I'm looking through my wishlist, I keep looking at card images and going "oh, I don't need that!" instead of "ooh shiny."
Another ps: I haven't watched your cardstock vid yet but THANKS for making it! I polled my IG about whether they'd be as happy with MPC as self-printing and 85% said yes, so I think when I start doing decks (or at least my first) I'm gonna go MPC, but I do intend to be really intentional in my selections.
Well now... hold on... for the Angel Partner... have they seen Angelarium? Might hit a little closer than most angel decks?!? And as for cutttttte robots, we really need a Wall-E style robot deck don't we? ;) And as for dragons - there are more dragons coming - keep an eye on future hot takes! lol
She says W.I.T.C.H. will ship worldwide! Here's what she replied to a comment of mine: Mauge Mv it will! I’m telling all int’l backers to sign our mailing list since we are reserving a batch just for you and will notify you as soon as we secure our shipping rates and provider!
Dear Lisa, I wanted to congratulate for your rich and entertaining content. Most of all I want to express how out of this world are your magnetic personality together with the love and persistent care that you put into this youtube project of yours. Keep up the amazingness! 🧚🏻🍄

Hi, There is a walkthrough of Into The Lonely Woods and Gentle Creatures on You Tube :)

Universal Dragon Oracle is the same artist as Dragon Tarot that Peggy has. Great to pair them.

It looks like there was only a limited amount of decks available from the get go, and I’m pretty sure I grabbed the last one this weekend, but I’ve seen it open back up again as people change their mind and decide to unback. If you check back frequently you might still be able to grab one. And/or if you don’t have the 1st edition they’re 20% off on her website right now. Hope that helps!
I added a few of the MM decks to my wishlist. I did back the W.I.T.C.H. Deck because for me, it kinda gave me tarot of Delphi vibes & I figure that as close as I’ll ever get to that deck ☹️ and I’m strongly considering the black cat tarot and the Baroque tarot.
Thank you for your "Hot Takes" twice over! Darn technical difficulties! I purchased the Gentle Creatures Oracle from US Games; four of the fourty-eight cards are landscape/horizontal. Also, I looked at Blue Angle's website and they had more examples of the cards. They were listed individually, allowing a full view of the card. I hope this helps for anyone who was interested. Lisa, thank you for your content and conversations. I look forward to your next video. All my best, Amber
Thank u so much for sharing ur thoughts!!!
Haha! Don't need any of this. Yayyyyy!
Excellent! 🤣🤣
Oooooh fun! That Wisdom of the Crow Tarot looks amazing 🤩 - ooooohhhhh! The Goddess Spirit was an indie deck first - I got it a few years ago - the creator is in Australia or NZ I think. I didn't know it was going to be a mass market deck. Love these videos Lisa, thank you for putting all this time and energy for us to see these new releases and as always love your hot takes - even the second time around not so hot - hot takes 😂 sometimes tech is just a poo! Handled it like a boss tho👍 💕😊🙏 Xxxx
Thanks for addressing the Maze Tarot! It does look very beautiful. I was also devastated about the Witch Oracle not shipping world wide!
Actually, I just checked, and there are copies left the author will ship internationally (it says it on their site in the FAQs section).
@@BookLioness Thank you!
Love these videos to see what is coming.
I have just backed the Seaglass Tarot. Super cool. Love my Healing Waves, but I can enjoy both! ❤️
Gahh I'm so tempted cuz it's SO SHINY!
Have you received yours? How do you like it? (The Seaglass Tarot)
@@joanb. Yes, I received it last week or so. It is amazing. There is a spelling mistake on the Hierophant card, which I don‘t mind too much, but the rest is super. Great cardstock, nice shimmer effect, beautiful illustrations, nice hard box. I am satisfied with all of it!
I have to get a dragon Oracle! Why u ask? I’m getting Smoke Ash & Ember!!!!! Aaaand Oak Ash & Thorn! Shut the front door! I’m sooo excited! I’ve heard really good things about the Dragon’s Path Oracle…the pics I saw are gorgeous!!! I’ll get back to u hold on…
I’m back! The Waves of Your Soul had it on her top 5 Oracle decks! I have seen her talk about it a couple times & the pics are amazing…I love how some of them look like guardians to humans or some kind of being in the pics too. She said only bad thing is needs more cards. Has a few energy cards I’m feeling too…
You and Peggy are awesome!
I saw a flip-through of gentle creatures and the cards look really beautiful. There are no "solely landscape" cards among them. I just now came to know about "into the lonely woods". I don't know about the writer of the latter deck, but I'm connecting more with the single keyword on the gentle creatures' cards than with the longer mini-phrases on the "into the lonely woods". Besides, the title "gentle creatures" is cozy and sounds more fitting to the art, in opposition with the other deck's name, which is about loneliness and therefore sounds more negative. I see the Lucy's book is longer than Arwen's, and I usually like an invested guidebook, but I don't know. I've heard one card's interpretation from Arwen's guidebook and it literally describes the card, turning it into a story, but leaves much room to the imagination of the reader as for how to interpret the card. Somehow everything about this deck seems magical to me. Plus it has more cards than the other one, 48, if that counts for anything. And the back of the cards is sooo gorgeous ❤
Ohhhhh by "landscape" i was referring to the orientation of the card - where you have to turn it sideways - vs Portrait orientation which is upright. In Gentle Creatures, there are mostly Portrait oriented cards and a few Landscape oriented cards :) That's all I meant.
Thank you for doing these “hot takes” videos. You are my go to source for finding out what’s coming out! 🙂
When I’m not supposed to be buying decks but still watching this video...not feeling well so this is perfect distraction. Love your content
I feel your pain on the WITCH oracle - I desperately want this, but I'm in the UK :(
I enjoy these videos
Your hot take on stroller feels well expressed
I feel sad for those who backed that particular kickstarter project :/
Thanks for the temptation, this time I resisted XD
Whooo hoooooo! I love your Hot Takes video!
This is random but your talk about dragons reminded me. A few months ago in one of your videos you showed a dragon oracle that was super cutesy. Maybe it was like baby dragons or something? Do you know the name of that deck? Was it a fever dream?? Lol.
You're probably remembering the adorable "Field Guide to Garden Dragons" deck - it's a US Games publications and the author is Arwen Lynch. :)
@@Lisa_Papez Amazing! Thank you!
loved this Lisa x
I stumbled upon the Wild Mystic Oracle, fell in love with it, and pre-ordered it. 😄 Now I can't wait for it to arrive. It was nice to hear your hot take on it and all these other wonderful decks!
There is literally no deck I am looking forward to 😭
I have the Gentle creatures wisdom deck and love it. Love for the images. Oh Lisa you should see my face when you said that W.I.T.C.H kickstarter ship only USA!! I got in early 😅 Didn’t know it was limited. ✨☃️ ❄️
You look gorgeous, dawling. As usual. Loved your video. I tried backing the Northern Animal oracle, but while it is still open, it’s basically sold out. I have no problems with “boy bits” showing. In fact one of my major peeves in tarot decks that show nudity is when they show female bodies in all their glory and then hide the male “bits” behind a banner, cloth, table, plant etc. I notice this seems to occur in a lot of decks, whose target audience is gay men. The models have the most beautiful, often oiled bodies, but have their “bits” hidden. It makes it look as if they are ashamed of their :bits.” …which is a shame as I think most human bodies are beautiful regardless of whom the target audience is. Moving on, one of the things I really like about your videos, which so many other content providers fail to provide, is your links to where the decks can be acquired. Finally, I have one question I was wondering if you know the answer to: are they going to do a reprint of either the Alice Tarot or Place’s Vampire Tarot?
Yah I don't mind boy bits showing either! And, like you, if women are gonna be shown fully nekkid, then men should be also! ;) But I will admit sometimes there's a bit TOO much nudity for me personally - when it comes to boys, specifically - I think all bodies are beautiful, gender irrelevant but can get overwhelmed by male nudity easier than by female nudity which likely simply reflects my personal proclivities LOL. As for your questions - I am unaware of a planned Alice Tarot or Vampire Tarot reprint - however, I have noticed that one of Robert M Place's long OOP decks (Buddha Tarot) is being reprinted as mass market, which gives me hope for the future of the Vampire Tarot! ;) And Baba Studios - I could see them wanting to do a future reprint of Alice given it's success but.... even if they do plan one eventually... I suspect it will be quite a while as there are several projects they've announced ahead of it - their cat one and the Bohemian Gothic reprint, for example. :D
So I just came to find your comment - because I found a reference to a Baba Studios post where they have said they are planning an Alice Tarot reprint in 2022 or 2023!
Oh Lisa, I could see how sad you were about WITCH ☹️ I saw on the campaign that it says Kickstarter only, but it also says it’s a signed limited edition. I wonder if that means they’re going to sell it later just not as the Kickstarter edition? The author has a website with other books that she’s done before up for sale. My hope is that it will be for sale after the campaign, especially since she’s doing a whole year long school/community based on the same concepts that are in the deck. I can’t imagine as an established author with a web shop that she wouldn’t want to continue selling it… my fingers are crossed for you!
I was really sad. In the original chunk of footage that got messed up I was like.... literally getting so excited and going to back and then........ sadface. LOL that first version of the vid was a lot more dramatic about it LOL. But yeah, I reached out to her and it sounds like there will be a few, very limited, copies available to international buyers on her website later - apparently you can sign up for a newsletter to be notified. Looks like she also has a couple decks in progress with US Games as well so the newsletter will probably keep people posted about those too!
@@Lisa_Papez what about sending it to dani in order for you to get a copy?
I don't know how I missed when I was all waffling over the other two dragon decks you featured that we both have a dragon partner! 😀 I am a robot, and our other nesting partner is an angel. Unfortunately it's hard to find decks with CUTE robots like me (I'm not into like, mechs) and the angel partner is like, the eldritch horror kind of revelations angel with a million eyes and general ineffableness 😂 Don't think there will be a deck like that! Enjoying watching this while I do my EOY deck wishlist update. 1) How are there 424 decks on my wishlist? 2) The good news is, the "definitely want" and "must have" lists keep getting shorter...
Also re: the whole serotonin (or dopamine) shopping thing, I find it FASCINATING how getting medication for my ADHD has changed this. Like, decades of boredom eating for the stimulation of taste on my tongue and struggling with that (from a body-positive perspective, but just having specific health issues related to my chosen snacks!) suddenly gone. First time I thought "huh, I wonder what tarot decks are currently kickstarting" after starting the meds, I somehow did NOT find myself in a stupor blinking at the three decks I just backed, and I was so confused. 😂 So yeah, I guess that whole brain chemicals thing does have some validity! Even right now as I'm looking through my wishlist, I keep looking at card images and going "oh, I don't need that!" instead of "ooh shiny."
Another ps: I haven't watched your cardstock vid yet but THANKS for making it! I polled my IG about whether they'd be as happy with MPC as self-printing and 85% said yes, so I think when I start doing decks (or at least my first) I'm gonna go MPC, but I do intend to be really intentional in my selections.
Well now... hold on... for the Angel Partner... have they seen Angelarium? Might hit a little closer than most angel decks?!? And as for cutttttte robots, we really need a Wall-E style robot deck don't we? ;) And as for dragons - there are more dragons coming - keep an eye on future hot takes! lol
@@Lisa_Papez I just showed them the Angelarium and they love it! ❤️ Thanks!
Hot take: your glam is on fire
HEEE! Thanks!!! 🥰
