It's so glorious out in your garden under the sun, reading outdoors is one of my favourite things, it's always such a fresh perspective. Definitely going to give a few of your tips ago, particularly reading by the water, under the moonlight and with the sun rise, It'll be pure magic. xx Thanks April!
I'm sure you are no stranger to garden readings! Reading by the water is so refreshing. Moonlight readings make me feel so connected. I am such a lunatic.
You structured this video so well! And I loved that you had a chapter with drawing a card with your kids, because they are off of school, right, and always around in the summer.
Thanks! I think it's great to involve our kids when they are young. It gets them understanding that they can develop these skills in life and normalizes introspection and taking a break to figure things out. Treasure those babies under feet. It goes too quickly!
I do sunrise readings in autumn or winter because I'm a night person, but I like reading before 8am. I feel that some of the decks put here could also have an autumn vibe but maybe it's just me For summertime I'm feeling lazy so even though I have a few deck I use my two "comfort" decks (the pagan cat tarot which is more autumn-wintery feeling but I learned to read tarot with this one and the spacious tarot which feels like it can be pulled anytime but is perfect for summertime in my opinio' because you really have to reflect and put yourself in the cards so it's perfect for a lazy afternoon or a late time reading where you just take time to immerse yourself and don't necessarily need the book if you know tarot because it's very intuitive) One thing I want to do before the end of this summer (probably today for the first time) is a outdoor reading and a waterbody reading because I live nearby the beach and never thought about taking my cards there. Sorry I just feel like I'm oversharing it's just that you're comforting in a way??? So I can't help. Thank you for your time 🙏)
I like the idea of sunrise readings...if I stay up to see the sunrise instead of trying to wake up that early 🤣 I will have to try moonlight readings for sure. Really love Playful Heart as a summer deck with all of its bright colors 🌈 Thank you for the ideas!
Grateful for the early morning energy reading and seeing messages. Also grateful for Summer energy of blossoming and flower in your hair feeling. Beautiful in your garden and energy of Cat Sunrise deck 🦋 Druid masculine ⚖️
Hi April great video, loved all your recommendations 🙏amazing decks & your garden location was beautiful! Charlotte & I loved watching…gratitude for all your work!!🌈☘️🌟🙏happy summer!💎
@@TarotandWitchery We only get fleeting glimpses so I can’t tell if it’s gold or silver, but it’s a kind of higher set white ish stone…possible an Opal? It looks like in different light it may show color flashes. If not opal, maybe a lighter chalcedony or a moonstone?😁
Thank you for your wisdom on raising kids with Tarot. I have a 9 year old who loves to draw daily card. He was asking me what they mean, but recently I started asking him what he sees and how it makes him feel :) I use mostly Boo tarot with him, and before that the Modern witch , which might not be the most kid friendly deck, but I don't have a big collection, hehe. I am thinking of getting a decknfor him now. :))
Your hair is very cute in this - like two little panda ears... Made me think of a cute red panda 😁 mkay now watch the tips Jez *_focus_* Sunrise readings are easy for night owls in the summer 😅 sunrise is the sign to go to bed 🌅🛌 All of these suggestions was great, definitely gonna be better at bringing my decks with me outside - I often bring my drum or flute, but almost never a deck of cards, this was a great call to find a deck to put in the drum bag, feel like the energy is what I need this summer. Maybe the moderne witch.
I am sure that you drum would love the company and how wonderful to drum after pulling some cards and allow your mind to travel with the energies. My drum is such a good friend for outside journeys...
odd question and I'm still watching.. but how long do the affiliate links last? if I come back to a link in a few weeks and make a purchase will you still get rewarded for that? Whispering Woods seems so perfect!
On Amazon it only lasts for 48 hours. On Etsy it's longer. That Whispering Woods is a sweet little deck, but hold off until you see my next before you buy!
I've had my eye on Förhäxa for awhile even though I'm not into the Fae all that much...maybe that's why. It appears to have a good balance of light and dark, which I really like. Currently my summer decks are The Ocean Tarot/Ocean Arcanae, White Sage Tarot, Roots & Wings Oracle, Tarot of Trees and Anima Mundi Tarot.
Janis Joplin? I think you mean Billie Holiday... or Bessie Smith. Or Ella Fitzgerald, even. :-) Faux pas aside, I love your deck picks. Delightful choices for summer sensibilities.
@@TarotandWitchery - yes, Gershwin wrote it. It's a part of the score for Porgy and Bess and was composed to be sung by a Black female character. It is in that context that I found it curious that - from among all of the prominent Black singers who have recorded it over the years prior to Joplin - you cited a white woman to be "quoting" from. It's all good. I just thought that was important to lift up. Just a fact worth knowing, is all.
I got the Soulcards I and II because so many people loved them and... I hated them so much! I was ready to throw them out and then I started to create a tarot deck with them. I spent many hours assigning titles to them and ended up with a wonderfully harmonized full 78 card tarot theck that I love. The Fool - blue and pink girl with a butterfly, walking off the card, starting her blissfull new journey - is my favourite 'fool card' of all times
what a gorgeous garden!
Thank you! It's a constantly evolving art piece. I love working with mother nature... sometimes she has her own ideas of what should grow though!
Thanks for sharing this on your community feed! I somehow missed it last year and it was perfect for summer inspiration. Great recommendations!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure! Hope you had some ideas sparked...
Love this! Thank you! Subscribed!
Welcome!
I hope you will try some of these ideas. It is really fun to mix it up according to the seasons and stretch ourselves!
Lovely garden! I use the Mermaid Tarot too for summer.
Can't wait for our chat! ♥
See you tomorrow!

Absolutely love forest of enchantment as a summer time deck. It’s on my must have list.
Same here!
watched this back April as Tilly had my phone and when she passed it back you'd finished, wonderful as always ❤️❤️❤️
I am sure you have some of these decks...
I love the shirt you're wearing!
Thanks! It's a favorite that I am limping along after 15 years!
@@TarotandWitchery Love that!

I'm up really early in the darker months and later when it's sunny!

Playful Heart is fun! I use it a lot for inner child work, as it's perfect for that too
I agree!
You must have a few of these decks?

Beautiful in your garden and energy of Cat

Wonderful!

If you are ever in Oregon the 2 of you must come stay with us. I will take you to my favorite places here!
That is such a lovely ring! Can I ask what type of stone it is? ☀🌸
Can you describe the ring? Not sure which one I wore in this video..lol!

And you are wearing it on your pointer finger of your right hand🌸🌸

I think using wither of those is great. There is no reason not to use what you have and normalize it. I love that you are including him!
Believe it or not, I'm giving mermaids (the Dame Darcy one) a second chance this summer... Better watch out, Arielle! 😅
I was pondering this one but held off and still haven't. I can't remember what put me off at the moment, but something about it did
It will be interesting to see if we like the whole mermaid thing. I'm gonna try!

What makes Förhäxa so great is the guidebook that comes with it. MJ is so good at what she does. The illustrations are AMAZING!
Janis Joplin? I think you mean Billie Holiday... or Bessie Smith. Or Ella Fitzgerald, even. :-)

Well, I'm not sure who said it first, but I was recalling Janis' song...
Hope your summer is filled with easy livin'!
I was curious.. It was Gershwin who was noted as the original on that line!
@@TarotandWitchery - yes, Gershwin wrote it. It's a part of the score for Porgy and Bess and was composed to be sung by a Black female character.

That is such an amazing idea! Just letting the images tell you which card they are!
