I thoroughly enjoyed this. What an exciting year ahead for you and your journey. Thank you for this walk through 🙏🏻 and umm hell yes to the altar video 🤓🙏🏻 Love you! 🖤
"I woke up and I did it" this is the energy we're bringing into 2025. Getting into work and setting up for the day to find a new Valentine video in the can and ready to go was such a special treat! Six of Wands is SUCH a great theme for the year, aaaand I feel like your shadow card kinda read you (knowing your tendencies 💜). I'd be interested for you to do an update in 3-4 months reflecting on what's transpired so far in the year and how you feel like the monthly cards (and other relevant cards) you pulled related. I would totally love to see a video on altars (altar tour??) and I'd personally love to see more of the Pagans Otherworlds Tarot deck, the art looks so pretty!
Aw, I can’t believe you watched it bright and early 🥹🙏🏻. As always, you provide brilliant perspectives 🤍, that is such a great idea! I can definitely show a look at the months and how they related to the spreads after the fact. Of course I can do an altar tour! Hahah you’re so great my beautiful friend! I can show you the tarot in our next chat! I feel like with your insane artistic skills, aspects of the body may bother you 😂. It bothers me occasionally, but I do quite love this deck and the art 🤍
@ okay well now I’m REALLY curious! As long as the deck doesn’t haven’t AI hands/eyes, I am willing to be kind 😌 plus the theme and what you’ve shown of it seem so badass, and I could never yuck something that you love.. side eye it a little, maybe 😂
Such a great spread! I’ll be using this tomorrow morning! Also, the way I CACKLED at that 10 of swords lol “I’m ganna be successful but it’s ganna hurt like hell was my first thought” 🤣🤣🤣
Dude, yes. Every time I think back on that 10 of swords I have to laugh 😂, I am so honored you’ll be using a spread of mine 😭 haha, I always see you as a channeling beast! I loved your Spiritual Warrior video per usual, very in alignment with what I’ve been feeling. I always feel affirmed by your messages. 🖤
Thank you so much! This video is so helpful!!! 💜I have been collecting oracle and Tarot cards for years because I love the art work, but I never seriously worked with them. Funny enough, I also have the Woodland Wardens but used another 3 decks to lay the year ahead spread🦌I'm so happy you posted this video! Many thanks!💜
Ah! This may be a call to do a year ahead? Do whatever feels comfy to you my friend. I totally understand wanting to collect them due to the art 🥰🤍 I have a collection myself haha
@@valentinebardot I did the year ahead spread, took pictures and interpreted intuitively, but now it will keep me a while occupied to find out what the cards 'really' mean since I have no clue, not even the basics... wish I could send it to a Tarot reader and let their knowledge speak 😆
Thank you for sharing this spread. I’ve been looking for year ahead spreads but having your explanation and tips helps a lot. Would love a video on alters and also maybe deities as well. Happy New Year!
Yay! I am so glad it was helpful, I will definitely do altars, and its completely synchronistic you mentioned deities as I just had that feeling today about an hour ago! Thank you for this confirmation
I love u so much my sweet dear friend. Ty ghoul for that spread. I'm gonna have to do that for sure. I got the woodland oracle deck that u were using. I absolutely love them. I got them because of u stating that they have journal prompts inside the book. I'm HUGE on journaling. But I love the deck as well. Ty for recommending them. Great video as always, and u look so beautiful per usual. Happy New Year 🎉my sweet valentine. Hope it's a fabulous year for u ghoul. Love ya 👻🧡💜🖤👻
You are such a great teacher and I find your videos so inspiring. If you ever offered classes I would be interested. So excited to see what you come out with this year!
Thank you for this so much. All of this content lately is absolutely helping me get through each day and week. I am very beginner when it comes to this so to visualize is so helpful.
Valentine pulling up the vulture and both of us at the same time say "The Morrigan" caused me to pause for a second and smile. This was the first time i did a year ahead spread (i'm baby but not real baby) and the second i asked about deities i had an oracle card (crossroads card) shoot out the second my question ended. i've never had one shoot out that fast or far.
She has been popping up SO STRONG for 2025!!! This message totally affirms it for me even more. Oh wow crossroads I always think Hekate, but The Morrigan can be very liminal as well. When they pop out like that, it just hits different. I know that is a strong message coming forward! Thank you for being here my friend, and I’m so grateful for your affirmation
@@valentinebardot they've both popped up strong for me this year and i think it has to do with the fact i'm not hiding it (i'm right in the bible belt) for everyone else's comfort and feel much more comfortable as my authentic self.
@@valentinebardot Absolutely! By the way, if it's not too much to ask, may I know if it's possible to book a reading with you or if you offer any courses or mentorship programs? You've been truly inspiring, and I discovered your videos during a time of great need. I'm so grateful to have found your channel and would love to delve into some specific topics further.
Oh wow, what a Spread, I am doing an 12 month Envelope. I choose a Tarot Deck and 3 or 4 Oracle Decks, I pull a card from each deck for each month, and put them in an envelope. I started in Nov 2024 and ends in Oct 2025. I do them 3 months at a time. At the end of the month I pull the Envelope for the next month's. Example, I will pull out the Feb's Envelope on last week of Jan. I will be saving this one for Nov 2025 - Oct. 2026!!! Would like to see and hear your take on Altars, it is one of my favorites to watch other creators on altars. Valentine, have a GREAT 2025!!!
Ohhhh my gosh, this sounds AHMAZING! WOW! What a super fun idea, I have never heard of 12 month envelope before! I may want to save that for November as well! Thank you for sharing, love learning others practices. And Yay! I am glad so many are wanting an Altar video, that sounds like a ton of fun to make. Thank you for being here and sharing
Thank you for going through this process step by step to help us out. I will give it a try. and I will try the Freeform. I would be interested in an ALTER video and a Grimoire video as well.
I’m going to give this a try. I did my usual one this year, and it was a mess. I don’t know if I picked the wrong deck, if I just wasn’t in it, but whatever it was it’s a nonsensical mess this time.
I LOVE THIS! Being sooooo new to tarot cards this was so fun to watch. I whipped out my deck and followed along. I try my best to try to sense what the cards mean... but man I need some practice with repetition and study. (ChatGPT has been a fun tool to use for personalized interpretations lol) But I have a question! I noticed all of your cards were upright. Was this intentional placement or just incredible upright odds? I watched you swirl-shuffle them cards so a reversed pull could’ve been possible? or maybe I’m thinking too hard about this… ? lol
I’m so glad it was helpful! 🤍🤍. Haha yes! That was intentional, and I’m absolutely in awe that you noticed! It really marks your keen observation skills!! I’m super impressed by that haha, I don’t think I wouldn’t noticed 😂. I personally do not read reversals in a traditional way. My mom taught me how to read tarot and she did not read reversals. Back in her day reversals were not very commonplace. It’s a fairly new way to read tarot (last 15-25 years) and has become a lot more commonplace than it once was. I was taught by my mom, to know both meanings upright and reversed, but to “feel” when the situation called for the shadow aspect. So it relies more on intuition and the question at hand. I was also taught by her that there’s enough “negative” and “positive” cards within a 78 card deck, that it’s unnecessary for reversals. If something needs to be addressed in a shadow aspect it’ll come up. Such as the 10 of swords I pulled haha. 😂. I personally will clock a card if it’s reversed, and keep it in the back of my mind like, ok this card was reversed, then place it right side up to read better (upside down cards throw me sometimes). I will then use my intuition to feel if the reversal fits better to my question/situation. It sounds complicated, but it really is a gut instinct. Sometimes I’ll pull a card and I’ll be like whaaa?? Then I think of the shadow and I’m like ahhh yes… makes sense.
@ okay this makes sooooo much more sense. Lately I’ve been looking into reversals and have been super thrown, so I will throw that out the window unless the reversed position shows it’s self AND it feels more in line with the shadow like you mentioned. This actually changed a lot for my year spread, and even aligns with my goals for the year so I’m STOKED! When most of the cards were reversed I was like oh no… lol maybe this isn’t right… so I just had to ask lol we follow mama moon! Thank you for your advice and knowledge. As always, I’m so excited for more to come. 🖤
thanks for posting this!! im a new to reading tarot but as a fellow chronic pain girlie i was wondering (if you’re comfortable with it) if you can make a video and share how becoming spiritual has helped you in during your chronic pain journey! again, only if you’re comfortable!! ❤️
Of course! That is the “A Compendium of Witches” oracle by Natasa Ilincic. Half the deck is archetypal and shows witches, the other half is tools or more simplified such as a lantern, or yarn. It’s a lovely deck, I do find myself splitting it into the different cards for workings so it’s almost like two decks in one.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. What an exciting year ahead for you and your journey. Thank you for this walk through 🙏🏻 and umm hell yes to the altar video 🤓🙏🏻 Love you! 🖤
Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate you working through an example, as a visual learner that was super helpful!😊
Of course thank you! I feel the same way 🤍🤍🤍
Please do a video on altars, I’m new here and I absolutely love your content 🖤 thank you!!
Of course! I can definitely do a video on altars 🤍🤍 welcome! Thank you for being here
This was super helpful and I was able to follow your lead and do my first EVER yearly tarot spread! 🖤 Thank you! 🎉
Oh my goodness, this completely made my night!!! I am so so excited for you! That’s awesome! I hope it went well and you enjoyed it 🖤
Great to wake up to a Valentine video! I'm gonna pull my spread then I get into work and it's peaceful so I can concentrate! Have a great weekend!
Lovely! Thank you for always being here and spreading encouragement and kindness! I hope you have a beautiful day and weekend 🤍

That preserver card reminds me of Eva Green in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.....

Hi Valentine would you please make a video about your practice of protecting yourself daily. Thanks
Absolutely! Thank you so much for a wonderful suggestion 🤍🤍🤍

Hi, May I ask what deck is the soothsayer card from? It’s so beautiful and I instantly felt a connection to that deck☺️
Of course! That is the “A Compendium of Witches” oracle by Natasa Ilincic. Half the deck is archetypal and shows witches, the other half is tools or more simplified such as a lantern, or yarn. It’s a lovely deck, I do find myself splitting it into the different cards for workings so it’s almost like two decks in one.
