I enjoyed every moment of this! I like the long form collection videos just as much as the category ones. I got some hot chocolate and Tucker and I cuddled up on the couch and spent the afternoon with you. 😀Thank you so much for sharing your tarot collection with us! ❤
Herbcrafter's Tarot is one of my favourite decks ever. It's more than one could ever expect but one really needs to take time with it and study it. I absolutely love it.
The best thing to think about when it comes to oracle decks is the more cards the more injoyable always more than 60 cards in a deck,to the creators of these decks,and I'd love to create decks I think it's pretty infinite the creativity!
Thank you so much for sharing your collection! Your energy is just beautiful…very comforting. If you ever figure out why Shadowscapes Tarot leaves you cold, please let me know because I feel the exact same way. Beautiful decks!! Thank you ❤
Hi Amy! Thank you very much! I hope to do some kind of intentional work with decks that I am having a hard time with and perhaps make a video about my time with them. :)
This video popped up on my feed this morning, and I'm new to your channel. I love watching Tarot collection videos so thank you for putting this together. Great watch, and I enjoyed the commentary. It doesn't bother me that you didn't put the decks into categories or into any particular order. The only request I would humbly make (if you see this comment all this time after you posted this video), is to please list the names of each deck in the description - I don't even need time stamps, just the list for later reference would be fine. Thank you so much.
Hi Joanne! Thank you so much for watching and also for your suggestion! I will most probably make an updated Collection video soon so I will keep this in mind for that one!
Hi Sandi, I am so looking forward to the completion of "the forest of enchantment tarot" and also all your oracle decks video. Have a Merry Christmas and looking forward to more of your marvellous videos next year. . Terri From Australia
Thank you so much Terri! I have unfortunately been ill again over the Holidays 😔 so it looks like I will be finishing up the forest of enchantment videos as well as my collection videos in January. Hope you’re having a happy holiday season! 💖
Such a great video. The pace was just perfect. As someone building out my collection I ruled in several decks to consider (as well as ruling out several more). I am extremely picky which decks I will invest in so I find these video essential in my pursuit of finding decks that are right for me. So far, I only have 1 deck that I find I have no use for ( a deck that shall remain nameless). Thank you so much for taking the time to record your collection! It is very much appreciated.
Hi! Oh your comment made me very happy! I am glad that my ramblings can be of help to others! It is what makes this fun, AND I get to go through and talk about all my decks :D Happy New Year, I hope you will get a good one!
Totally wish there was a lot more firsthand knowledge to be shared about these decks. Too many were unfamiliar. Maybe you could sell a quarter of the decks you don’t bother to use and buy that costly guidebook for the one your partner gifted? I wish I had such an extensive library to not use! So many lovely decks!
I've been looking for so long to see the Rainbow Tarot trimmed because that was my immediate reaction when I first saw it! It must be trimmed, it looks fantastic! It's gone mass market since this video was posted (comes out in April!), so I'll feel much more comfortable trimming it!
Yes! I love it trimmed, but I do wish I had known it was coming out mass market and I would have trimmed that edition instead! I might get the mass market anyway just for the guidebook and the possibility of thinner cardstock!
@@ExploringTarot I hemmed and hawed about getting the deck, and so when the second run sold out I just decided I didn't want it. But when I saw it pop up on Amazon as a preorder, I couldn't believe it! I feel like that happens so rarely! It takes so long for me to make a decision on trimming a deck, it feels so final when it's a hard to replace indie deck! So I feel you! But this deck just begs to be trimmed, so I think you made the right decision. I would've done the exact same thing!
Watching this long collection vid was such a pleasure!! I think the Self-Love Tarot would be lovely for accompanying your work with the Self-Worth Path, btw! :) And I can't wait to hear how you get on with the Monstarot! :) So many beautiful decks!! There's decks here that I want to want... lol so stopping myself from jumping on impulse purchases LOL
Thank you Lisa! I really thought I was going to go for the Self-Love Tarot but when I sat down to do my first reading for the Self Worth Path yesterday the Mara Lunne tarot just stood out as the one to use! :) Oh yes! Impulse purchases is one to overcome for me in 2023! I know I have some planned purchases, decks that are finally being published this year but... I am going to try to be good and not acquire so much for a while now.... although it really is difficult with so many gorgeous decks coming out! Thank you so much for watching
Hi! Great video. I have the Gill Tarot and it's my workhorse deck. I got back in the 1990's when it first came out. I'm not into Kabbalah either but I was able to work with the deck. Yeah there are some decks I have trouble working with The Arthurian Tarot by Caitlin and John Mathews was one. I just couldn't gel with it I gave it back to my aunt. My brother got me The Osho Zen Deck. No book though. I didn't use it. I've seen The Tarot The Divine in my bookstore but it really didn't call out to me.
Thank you so much for your video… it inspired me to do a video like this on my channel…. I just subscribed to your channel so I will be watching more often. 😊
This was so much fun to watch! I just noticed (and you may already know this) that "The Witch's Wisdom Tarot" is coming out in a regular tarot size later in 2023. It's available mass market. Yeah!!!
Have you heard? It's said that the Witches Wisdom Tarot is coming out in a smaller size as this thats been out has been the collectible "Deluxe" version apparently. Phyllis Curott did a video about the bigger version going out of print.
Hi Kyra! I only just heard a few days ago! Someone commented the same thing :) I am so so happy about this! I will definitely be getting that version! I need to try and find this video!
I have the Wild Unknown Tarot Indy it has amazing card stock and wonderful energy. One deck that is OOP is Heart of Stars Tarot which I love. Thank you for sharing your tarot decks with us. Love and light to you, your family and fur babies!
Great video. I am very very new to tarot and like seeing everyone's collection. Your collection is great! If you decide to re-home the lucid dreams beginner tarot I would definitely be interested in buying it. It would be very helpful to me bc of the keywords, it will definitely get used. Thank you for your video. I am looking forward to your Oracle one. Take care!
Hi Jackie! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am so happy you enjoyed the video! Hope you’re having a nice and peaceful Holiday Season. I will keep you in mind if I decide to move Lucid Dreams along! :)
I loved this so much and I totally agree with you on everything you said about the tarot des ramures etranges. The cardstock is horrendous and I really hope like you it comes out in another version. I'm lucky enough to understand French - love it so much! Also agree with you on the Witches Wisdom. I do wish tarot creators would focus less on collectors (who always want super thick cards) even though I understand why they do ($$$) - and more on people who actually want to use the cards regularly. We don't all have huge muscular hands!
Yes! Decks need to made to be used in my humble opinion :) haha the image of how huge and muscular my hands would have to be to shuffle these decks is hilarious! I just see these huge cartoon hands haha
Also don't feel too bad about not using decks. Some are for a reason and a season, and some we need to just get into our hands before we decide if it resonates with us.
And how in the world are you supposed to know that a deck resonates with you until you get it in your hands & have time to work with it? It doesn’t matter how much research you do , or how much you love the artwork…it’s totally different when you get the deck in your hands. And yes please don’t feel bad for having decks you haven’t worked with yet - I would look at it the opposite way. Like how wonderful & exciting it is that you have so many decks right there at home that you have yet to explore! It’s like loving the 1st book of a series & having all 10 books in the series still to read, and you already have them all sitting right there on your bedside table. Worlds you have yet to explore…new beginnings & adventures…it’s a wonderful thing. Your decks are with you right now because that is where they are supposed to be. And you are so worthy, you could have 1000s of decks to still get into & they would all belong at your house right now with you. When you are ready to let go of them, I’m sure you’ll find just the right people to take them on. And the Wheel turns again. Thanks again- I loved this video, it was so interesting seeing all of your decks & really lovely to hang out with you. Take care ❤
Still watching (it will probably take another couple of days to watch everything) but I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying your collection, you have some beautiful decks. I am also preparing to start filming mine... but I'm probably overthinking the categories, lol. Love the way you talk about your decks!!
Thank you so much Saturnarium! That means a lot! I did enjoy making this video so much although it was quite exhausting hahah. Yes overthinking is my forte so I decided to just go for it, no categories no structure just decks! :)
I have a lot of those , many of them my favorites like The Morgan , OAT, Gentle, etc. Very surprised about the triple Goddess, I don't see that one a lot and I have ot for a very long. I get about Witches Wisdom, is a problem for me too but I enjoy the art so so much that I don't care
Loved to see your collection 😍 thank you so much for sharing I can’t even imagine how much time that took. I have been thinking about filming mine too and it will be a beast to film so well done for getting through it 😊I’m nursing a flare up and this was the perfect cosy watch with a cup of tea I love long collection videos hehe☕️ also as a french person I can confirm your prononciation of the last deck was perfect 😉
Your collection is incredible! I enjoyed browsing the decks. I did sorta notice it didn’t radiate as much joy and excitement as I thought it would. Most decks were either unused or what sounded like regret. Maybe it’s just my interpretation though.
I really enjoyed this aspect of the video… and this why we love watching Sandi’s videos. She gives her honest opinion on how she is feeling about a deck in the moment. It is a natural thing that when you are looking at a collection you have amassed over time to not love everything in the current moment and also to feel unsure about if a deck needs to stay or if it was worth purchasing. It is this process that helps us create a collection we truly love and that represents who we are, where we’ve been and where we might be going.
@@andiinarcadia to not love everything for sure, but when 70% doesn't spark joy, it felt sad to watch. I do appreciate her honesty though because most people I think would have faked excitement. Her decks are absolutely lovely, and that's the first thing I said in my comment. It's not a criticism for having a large number. I know some people judge for that and that's not what this is. But when the owner themselves isn't happy, yeah, I think there's a beautiful opportunity there for a discussion. I did wonder why she purchases decks without doing research on them if it just makes her dissatisfied afterwards, and I think that's a valid question to ask considering how much it kept coming up. Also just to note that just because I say it's a valid question to ask, doesn't mean it's a required question to answer**
Hi Terri, first of all, thank you for watching and engaging in my video. I am just feeling a bit uncertain on how to respond without it sounding like I am trying to justify something, which I don’t feel like I need to do 😅. I look at my collection as an exploration of tarot. Some decks will stay and some will go, when it is time. Sometimes I like to research a deck, and sometimes I feel an instant connection and then I usually want to be surprised. Sometimes that works out and sometimes it doesn’t. There is nothing to be sad about, other than I don’t have enough time or energy most days to work with my cards as much as I would want to. I have had one hell of a year with several deaths and illness and my tarot interest has definitely been a solace to me, although I have not been able to read much recently. But yes, there are a number of very new decks in my collection that I haven’t gotten to know yet but that I am looking forward to explore and get to know in my own time. Just like I have a lot of books that I have not gotten around to reading yet. My collection is fairly new but I would definitely say that 98% sparks joy all in their own ways. Some by the excitement of getting to know them still. All this to say, no need to worry about me. I have my collection under control and am enjoying the process of buying decks and then curating my collection. By exploring all kinds of different decks I am constantly learning what works and what doesn’t for me. And by taking chances I might find something unexpected and that is exciting even though it sometimes doesn’t work out. Hope this answers your questions ☺️
@@ExploringTarot thank you for your thoughtful reply, and I really am sorry if I made you feel like you need to justify absolutely anything. I put that little disclaimer in my last comment so that you wouldn't feel like I'm coming into your space as a stranger and demanding explanations, lol, so I do appreciate that you took the time to respond. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! I hope we didn't start out on the wrong foot 😊
Controversial opinion alert! I love counterfeit decks- I only bought some for the first time this year and I spent maximum £3-8 per deck. I almost always buy the originals as well but leave them boxed as I don’t like big cards and use the counterfeit ones to read with. I just prefer pocket sized decks. If I don’t buy the original, it’s because I never connected with the deck and so I’ve saved myself a hefty price tag. The ones I don’t connect with never get used. I feel bad for the artist not getting their bit from me but I would be more upset if I parted with £50+ to buy their deck which i don’t connect with. This has only happened with 3 or 4 decks so far. Also, because the price point is so low, I ended up buying decks I would never normally choose, ended up connecting well with them and so forked out for originals too. I think counterfeit decks can serve a purpose if you are the kind of person who will buy the original too.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your opinion! And thank you for watching. I can definitely see your perspective and I understand your reasoning. Personally I know that I am not comfortable with giving my money to counterfeiters and supporting their business. I do sometimes end up with decks that I don’t connect with but I trade or sell or gift them away. In any case I can definitely relate on the card size! I have tiny hands and struggle with most decks, that’s why I end up trimming so many of my decks! 😅 🌻 be well!
new subscriber! "met" you through Jenny, maybe? I'm loving your videos and fun vibe:) Look forward to dipping in and out off your world! I loved seeing the beautiful crochet you inherited from your Grandmother and as I am a budding crochet-er(better knitter) I love seeing your crochet pieces and may have to collect a bag out two. My own handmade bags are mad embroidery! Happy 2023!
What a wonderful library of tarot decks! You might want to hold off on trimming the Witches Wisdom Tarot deck. I just saw something about it will be going OOP and another version coming out, which might be a little smaller. If you are ever interested in either selling or trading your extra copy of the Carte Postale tarot, please, please let me know. I have some oop decks I would be willing to trade, or I would pay..... I am going to cancel my order with her as it's been almost 6 weeks since I ordered it and I am getting no response from her regarding my purchase. Totally bummed. Great video!! Going to watch your Oracle collection tomorrow after work. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi! Thank you so much! I did hear about the new Witche's Wisdom version! I can't wait! I will definitely keep you in mind if I decide to sell my extra copy of Carte Postale. I am so sorry that you are having so much trouble reaching out to the seller. I have tried to contact her as well but she seems to not really be online anymore. I hope she is ok. Thank you so much for watching!
@@ExploringTarot Thank you for keeping me in mind. I filed a dispute with PayPal and they will give her until February 11th to reply, but so far, still nothing. I do hope she is ok. From what I can see on TH-cam and comments this doesn't seem like something she would do. Hopefully she is on a holiday/vacation. I still would like to get this deck but I will just have to wait and see what happens. I hope she responds so we know she is ok. Thank you again. I'm enjoying all of your videos that I have seen... Take care.
hi, there is a smaller version of the witches' wisdom coming out next year and the chunky one is going to go out of print, i thought maybe you'd like to know before you trim yours down! :)
i haven't been able to find anything official, but i heard it out of the mouth of phyllis curott herself, she announced it on her facebook page in a video a while ago :)
I know what you mean about handling Witches Wisdom. I was getting extremely frustrated by it, so I just decided to shuffle it in segments, cutting and switching them around between shuffles, then just doing a lame shuffle at the end to combine the whole, lol
Yes! That deck is a nightmare to handle but I have recently been told that they are doing a new printing of the deck with smaller cards and thinner cardstock!!! I have really high hopes for it!
Really interesting to see all the decks you have! I nearly stopped to comment when you got to Tarot of the Divine, because I have this deck and I have the same response as you. The stories in the accompanying big book, which you have to buy separately, are not nearly detailed enough. Several stories I was already familiar with so I knew they were way too short and missed significant parts, which makes me doubt if I’m getting the full meaning of the stories I don’t know or of how they connect to the tarot card. What is most annoying is that the stories in the accompanying book do not even mention the card that they depict, and how that story relates to the card. Plus they are in a completely random order. It’s like a children’s book of tales from around the world, no mention of the tarot in it at all! So if you do a reading, you have to go to the LWB, find out what story each card relates to, then hunt through the entire index of the big book- which is not in alphabetical order, or in order of the cards - to find it. Only to get a very curtailed version of the story, and no explanation of why the author thinks the particular story and card work together, or what is divine about it. I spent hours trying to connect with the deck and the stories, but the author of this deck doesn’t make it easy and I lost the momentum. I have the Mythic tarot, and the book has great detail as to why aspects of each myth illustrate aspects of each card. Its brilliant, very informative and illuminating, and I was assuming this would be similar. Such a shame. I hope Yoshi Yoshitani revises the book because it could be amazing…. folk and fairy tales have such wise messages. Rant over, but I’m glad I’m not alone in my feelings about Tarot of the Divine! Also glad I watched the whole video before commenting, as I kept thinking you would love Tarot aux Ramures Etrange! And there it was at the very end … I absolutely love the deck too, it’s one of my favourites. I struggle with the French LBW and google translate, eg instead of Queen, this deck uses uses the French word Deesse, goddess, but my initial search said it meant escort (as in, an escort girl you can pay for! Oops!) I guess a goddess is escorted by a god, in a chivalrous old fashioned way. So an English version would be a delight. Lots of very interesting decks to consider, thank you so much.
Yes I totally agree about the Tarot of the Divine! It had so much potential. And yeah I’m struggling a bit with google translate as well for the french guidebook… which is a shame. Thank you for watching! 💖☺️
I love watching deck mods! You should make some for us to see! This is my first time watching your channel and I love it! Love from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 You got a new subscriber!!! 😁😁😁
Hi Mary Ann! Thank you so much!! I have thought about doing a modding video.... but unsure quite how to go about it :) I do have a few planned mods though so perhaps I'll try it out! :)
I have the indie version of this deck with the big guide book and it’s easily in my top 3 favourite decks for queer representation along with This Might Hurt and Queer Tarot. Thanks for the walk-through! I might have to pick up the mass market version as well just because 🌈
@@ExploringTarot Good question! Hehe I have the indie version of Fifth Spirit. It feels like silk in my hands when I’m handling it. Love! I’m excited to potentially have a back-up version now that’s available MM 😃
I got a zig photo signature pen, and it writes on the Druid Craft really well, if you want to just put a small sign of the card in a corner, and trim off the words.. I really wouldn't expect diversity in a deck that was labeled as "Celtic". 🙂
Thanks for the tip about the pen! I might have one of those lying around here somewhere! And yes I suppose you are right about that 😅 I have just noticed it bugging me more and more lately… and some days it shines through more than others.
the Animal Spirit Tarot comes from the TarotAndOracleByMM Etsy shop. Not TarotOracle, he did a tarot deck called the Waterfall Tarot, and an Echoes of Nature Oracle.
Yes! That is what I thought! I got confused since someone commented on my walkthrough video of that deck saying that it was by TarotOracle on TH-cam! But I remember thinking that can’t be right…
Hi! I truly enjoyed watching this video! And you made me to buy a Vikings Tarot😆! Next year will be my "no buy" year so it's the last deck before I will be able to buy another one in 12 months. Today I've gotten the package- unfortunately there is mistake in my LWB- the text in English concerning Major Arcana is completely different than in othere languages😮💨- there is no info about the Gods and Goddesses which are depicted in the cards! Could you check if your booklet has similar mistake? All the best- Ewa
Hi Ewa! Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it! 😅 I hope you will enjoy the vikings tarot! ❤️ so sorry that your book is faulty! Mine definitely mentions which god is on each card. If you send me a DM on instagram I can email you a copy of my book! I will be able to scan it once I am back at work in January! ❤️
@@ExploringTarot Thank you Sandi!!! I think we both are members of the Dawn Michelle Weavers Group (my name is Ewa Pelwecka there). If you could send me a copy via Messenger it would be great but no rush😚! Fortunately I found out the Italian translation has a correct content- having the names, thanks to Uncle Google, I was able to find out a lot of informations about each card!!! It was quite a digging😅 but thanks to this I really bound with this deck. Lot of images got a sense and added some more layers to my tarot vocabulary! Yesterday I made a list of the decks I want to work with during next year and this deck is included so thank you once more for introducing it to me😘!!! All the best- Ewa
Hi Ewa I am so sorry I totally missed this reply to my comment! ( I never got a notification of your comment, Thank you very much You Tube!) I will definitely scan the english part for you if you still want it! I will look you up on FB!
YASSSSS 🤩 This was so good Sandi!! So much fun to see all your decks and hear your thoughts! I have never felt like doing a collection video myself (even though I love watching them) but you have totally inspired me to do one in January 😱 Even if no one will watch I will have the best time sitting down with a cup of coffee going through all my decks 🤣 Can't wait for your oracle collection!! 😊
Woohooo! Thank you Jenny! So happy that I have inspired you cus I can't wait to see your collection!!! hahah I am sure lots of people would enjoy seeing your collection!
Omg! You remembered my kiddo's favorite deck. You're the sweetest. Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us. I love to hear your take on everything. By the way, I just realized I have 2 decks that feature a rooster on the Tower card, do you know the connection? Thanks again!
Hi Marlene! Of course I remembered 🥰 she is such a sweetheart and her readings are such gems! ❤️ Ooh! What other deck had a rooster in the tower card? I am unsure of the intended meaning but since roosters symbolise sunshine, optimism, protection, energy, and vigilance I tend to read the rooster in a tower card as partly a well meaning warning but also a sign that despite a tower moment the sun will rise again. Hope you’ve had a lovely Yuletime! ❤️
aside from the artist not getting anyting out of it because it was a fake. as far as using it for Tarot readings what's the difference between a fake and a real deck ? I'm sure it would still work .
Well, I personally feel that yes tarot is a tool, and it is made out of paper and you are the one reading the cards, you are what makes tarot work. BUT the art on it has been made by someone who has dreamt, worked, put their time, love, energy and effort into creating something powerful that can be used as a divination or self help tool. By buying a counterfeit deck, buyers are rewarding the thieves who steal artist's creations, and that makes the counterfeit decks tainted in my eyes. It just gives me the wrong vibes and I just don't want to use such a deck.
Dawn Michelle Tarot har många fina videon om hur hon trimmar och lägger färg på sina kort. Men korta svaret är att du tar ett kort i taget och drar t.ex. med en tuschpenna runt hela kortet, sen låter du dem torka innan du lägger ihop dem igen. Men det kan vara lite knepigt med olika tusch sorter osv. eftersom vissa kan "läcka" in på bilden. Det finns en grupp på Facebook som heter Tarot with Scissors där man kan scrolla och se vilka olika pennor och grejer som folk använder.
@@ExploringTarot Tack snälla för svar för ska jag vara ärlig så trodde jag att man ”lämnade bort” korten för trimning och sen att man färgade med stämpeldyna på något sätt som typ scrapbooking 🙈Nu är jag lite mer upplyst ❤️ Måste prova med ”billiga” project förtst😀 (Så gulligt av dig att svara på så korkad fråga🙈❤️)
De va inte en korkad fråga alls! :) Jag tycker det är väldigt avslappnande att sitta och pyssla med mina kort och göra dem personliga. Men jo! en bra idé att testa med några billigare kortlekar först! :) Lycka till!
@@ExploringTarot Såg just din senaste video😀 Lite annorlunda lek! Bestämde nyss att idag när jag är ledig ska jag bara kolla på dina senaste videos,så många fina Tarot tips du har❣️ Köpte The dreamkeepers pga din fina video❣️ Fast jag gillar din video mer än mina kort😂 Får nog ge den lite kärlek idag❣️ Hoppas du är piggare nu❤️
Hi! I use a method that I learned from watching Dawn Michelle's videos. She has a fantastic tutorial on her channel! I use a Fiskars guillotine and rulers and a corner rounder.
Sorry to say this, but as someone with tiny hands, I sometimes buy tarot dupes from China... because they are often 6 by 10 cm, which is a great size I can manage! To make up for the loss of money and because I hate the art theft mostly done by Chinese impertinent manufacturers, I also buy the mass market version or donate to a kickstarter or etsy of the original creator...I did so with the Light Seers Tarot, The Spacious Tarot and The Modern Witch as well as the Cosmic Cycles Tarot. The tin box versions are often too small to really see the nice artwork! I rarely use my Sun And Moon Tarot in a tin box and I never used my mini Tarot of Pagan Cats Tarot. Please dear creators, give us something in between a huge and a mini deck!!!! I want to pay for all your effort, work and art, but I am often dissappointed.
I definitely understand your frustration! I too struggle with handling most decks. I have found that I really like the size of Fournier decks. I get along really well with Lo Scarabeo and Llewellyn decks, they have thin enough cardstock that is both bendy and durable and I think their standard tarot size is ever so slightly shorter. I struggle with basically every U.S Games deck I own, the cardstock is stiff and the cards are too big for me. Indie decks, well yeah, since most of them seem to think the thicker the better, I can pretty much assume that I won't like how an indie deck feels... it is very frustrating indeed.
I agree 100% my best friend also has to buy the knockoffs because her hands are tiny. Also there are some decks out there that are absolutely horrible cardstock to boot.
I always love throwing my legs behind my neck and listening to your videos in the background ❤❤❤❤❤
😂💖
I adore the book that comes with the Dreamkeeper's Tarot - it's outstanding! :)
So glad you like the Walking Meditation Tarot! I love when decks go on to better homes & people who can appreciate them more 💞
I enjoyed every moment of this! I like the long form collection videos just as much as the category ones. I got some hot chocolate and Tucker and I cuddled up on the couch and spent the afternoon with you. 😀Thank you so much for sharing your tarot collection with us! ❤
Aww, that sounds so cozy! And now I really want hot chocolate! :D Thank you !
Also; I'm so glad I found your channel! You have a wonderful, relaxed presence. :)
Herbcrafter's Tarot is one of my favourite decks ever. It's more than one could ever expect but one really needs to take time with it and study it. I absolutely love it.
It is gorgeous and I hope I one day will get to know it properly!
I cannot wait to watch this video! I have my snack!! Thanks, love.
Aw thank you!
The best thing to think about when it comes to oracle decks is the more cards the more injoyable always more than 60 cards in a deck,to the creators of these decks,and I'd love to create decks I think it's pretty infinite the creativity!
Yes, I too prefer an oracle with 60+ cards ☺️
I love your tarot bags!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing your collection! Your energy is just beautiful…very comforting. If you ever figure out why Shadowscapes Tarot leaves you cold, please let me know because I feel the exact same way. Beautiful decks!! Thank you ❤
Hi Amy! Thank you very much! I hope to do some kind of intentional work with decks that I am having a hard time with and perhaps make a video about my time with them. :)
This video popped up on my feed this morning, and I'm new to your channel. I love watching Tarot collection videos so thank you for putting this together. Great watch, and I enjoyed the commentary. It doesn't bother me that you didn't put the decks into categories or into any particular order. The only request I would humbly make (if you see this comment all this time after you posted this video), is to please list the names of each deck in the description - I don't even need time stamps, just the list for later reference would be fine. Thank you so much.
Hi Joanne! Thank you so much for watching and also for your suggestion!
I will most probably make an updated Collection video soon so I will keep this in mind for that one!
Hi Sandi, I am so looking forward to the completion of "the forest of enchantment tarot" and also all your oracle decks video. Have a Merry Christmas and looking forward to more of your marvellous videos next year. . Terri From Australia
Thank you so much Terri! I have unfortunately been ill again over the Holidays 😔 so it looks like I will be finishing up the forest of enchantment videos as well as my collection videos in January. Hope you’re having a happy holiday season! 💖
It's so peaceful to watch this and listen to your soothing voice. Thank you for sharing.
Watched the WHOLE video. Subscribed.
Aww! Thank you & welcome! I am impressed that you managed through the whole thing! :D
Such a great video. The pace was just perfect. As someone building out my collection I ruled in several decks to consider (as well as ruling out several more). I am extremely picky which decks I will invest in so I find these video essential in my pursuit of finding decks that are right for me. So far, I only have 1 deck that I find I have no use for ( a deck that shall remain nameless). Thank you so much for taking the time to record your collection! It is very much appreciated.
Hi! Oh your comment made me very happy! I am glad that my ramblings can be of help to others! It is what makes this fun, AND I get to go through and talk about all my decks :D Happy New Year, I hope you will get a good one!
I got the latest printing of the rainbow tarot and it's all in english now. Seems like she heard people's concern and addressed it.
Yes! I have considered getting a copy but I am hesitant since I do already have one 😅
Totally wish there was a lot more firsthand knowledge to be shared about these decks. Too many were unfamiliar. Maybe you could sell a quarter of the decks you don’t bother to use and buy that costly guidebook for the one your partner gifted? I wish I had such an extensive library to not use! So many lovely decks!
I've been looking for so long to see the Rainbow Tarot trimmed because that was my immediate reaction when I first saw it! It must be trimmed, it looks fantastic! It's gone mass market since this video was posted (comes out in April!), so I'll feel much more comfortable trimming it!
Yes! I love it trimmed, but I do wish I had known it was coming out mass market and I would have trimmed that edition instead! I might get the mass market anyway just for the guidebook and the possibility of thinner cardstock!
@@ExploringTarot I hemmed and hawed about getting the deck, and so when the second run sold out I just decided I didn't want it. But when I saw it pop up on Amazon as a preorder, I couldn't believe it! I feel like that happens so rarely!
It takes so long for me to make a decision on trimming a deck, it feels so final when it's a hard to replace indie deck! So I feel you! But this deck just begs to be trimmed, so I think you made the right decision. I would've done the exact same thing!
Watching this long collection vid was such a pleasure!! I think the Self-Love Tarot would be lovely for accompanying your work with the Self-Worth Path, btw! :) And I can't wait to hear how you get on with the Monstarot! :) So many beautiful decks!! There's decks here that I want to want... lol so stopping myself from jumping on impulse purchases LOL
Thank you Lisa! I really thought I was going to go for the Self-Love Tarot but when I sat down to do my first reading for the Self Worth Path yesterday the Mara Lunne tarot just stood out as the one to use! :) Oh yes! Impulse purchases is one to overcome for me in 2023! I know I have some planned purchases, decks that are finally being published this year but... I am going to try to be good and not acquire so much for a while now.... although it really is difficult with so many gorgeous decks coming out! Thank you so much for watching
Thank you for sharing your collection! Absolutely lovely- Cheers ! 🙂
Thank you Joss! I'm happy to hear that!
Thanks for sharing! I remember that small deck from Dennis Fairchild but I don’t have it anymore. Hmmm I’m going to try to find it again
Hi! I see it for sale on ebay quite regulary, it is such a nice little deck, I hope you find a copy!
Thank you for watching!
@@ExploringTarot thanks, I’ll give it a try
PS I'm a totally new subscriber and found you 100% randomly, just letting YT play and go where it wanted 😄 I love your super calming voice ;-)
Aww thank you! It is lovely to have you here!
Well, it took me several days to finish, but I really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us!
Thank you Elkins! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi! Great video. I have the Gill Tarot and it's my workhorse deck. I got back in the 1990's when it first came out. I'm not into Kabbalah either but I was able to work with the deck. Yeah there are some decks I have trouble working with The Arthurian Tarot by Caitlin and John Mathews was one. I just couldn't gel with it I gave it back to my aunt. My brother got me The Osho Zen Deck. No book though. I didn't use it. I've seen The Tarot The Divine in my bookstore but it really didn't call out to me.
Hi! Cool! Perhaps I should give the Gill Tarot another chance!
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! ☺️🤍
OMG! So many times I heard myself say the same things about many decks! 😂😮
Thank you so much for your video… it inspired me to do a video like this on my channel…. I just subscribed to your channel so I will be watching more often. 😊
Hi Rob! Thank you for watching! Will go and check out your channel. ☺️
This was so much fun to watch! I just noticed (and you may already know this) that "The Witch's Wisdom Tarot" is coming out in a regular tarot size later in 2023. It's available mass market. Yeah!!!
Thank you Skye! Yes! I have heard the same thing and I am soooo excited about it!! I can’t wait! 💖
Anna K was my first deck except for back in my teen years when I had an RWS. It's funny because I used to cringe at the artwork and now I adore it
I love that the Anna K was one of your first decks! Same here, the art put me off at first and now I really love it!
Have you heard? It's said that the Witches Wisdom Tarot is coming out in a smaller size as this thats been out has been the collectible "Deluxe" version apparently. Phyllis Curott did a video about the bigger version going out of print.
Hi Kyra! I only just heard a few days ago! Someone commented the same thing :) I am so so happy about this! I will definitely be getting that version! I need to try and find this video!
I can’t even explain how much I’m waiting for that smaller version! I keep checking her page for announcements 😅
@@terriw6116 yes!!! So excited for this!!!
I have the Wild Unknown Tarot Indy it has amazing card stock and wonderful energy. One deck that is OOP is Heart of Stars Tarot which I love. Thank you for sharing your tarot decks with us. Love and light to you, your family and fur babies!
Thank you Marsha! I’ve never heard of that Heart of Stars tarot before! I will look it up! ☺️ Thanks for watching! 💖
Thank you so much for the great presentation! Happy and magic New Year!🎄🌠💖
Thank you Dany! Happy New Year to you too!
Great video. I am very very new to tarot and like seeing everyone's collection. Your collection is great! If you decide to re-home the lucid dreams beginner tarot I would definitely be interested in buying it. It would be very helpful to me bc of the keywords, it will definitely get used. Thank you for your video. I am looking forward to your Oracle one. Take care!
Hi Jackie! Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am so happy you enjoyed the video! Hope you’re having a nice and peaceful Holiday Season.
I will keep you in mind if I decide to move Lucid Dreams along! :)
So many amazing decks! Thank you for sharing! xo
Thank you for watching! ☺️💜
I loved this so much and I totally agree with you on everything you said about the tarot des ramures etranges. The cardstock is horrendous and I really hope like you it comes out in another version. I'm lucky enough to understand French - love it so much! Also agree with you on the Witches Wisdom. I do wish tarot creators would focus less on collectors (who always want super thick cards) even though I understand why they do ($$$) - and more on people who actually want to use the cards regularly. We don't all have huge muscular hands!
Yes! Decks need to made to be used in my humble opinion :) haha the image of how huge and muscular my hands would have to be to shuffle these decks is hilarious! I just see these huge cartoon hands haha
Also don't feel too bad about not using decks. Some are for a reason and a season, and some we need to just get into our hands before we decide if it resonates with us.
Thank you, sometimes it is like you need to hear this from someone else just to kind of validate it haha I am working on it though!
And how in the world are you supposed to know that a deck resonates with you until you get it in your hands & have time to work with it? It doesn’t matter how much research you do , or how much you love the artwork…it’s totally different when you get the deck in your hands. And yes please don’t feel bad for having decks you haven’t worked with yet - I would look at it the opposite way. Like how wonderful & exciting it is that you have so many decks right there at home that you have yet to explore! It’s like loving the 1st book of a series & having all 10 books in the series still to read, and you already have them all sitting right there on your bedside table. Worlds you have yet to explore…new beginnings & adventures…it’s a wonderful thing. Your decks are with you right now because that is where they are supposed to be. And you are so worthy, you could have 1000s of decks to still get into & they would all belong at your house right now with you. When you are ready to let go of them, I’m sure you’ll find just the right people to take them on. And the Wheel turns again. Thanks again- I loved this video, it was so interesting seeing all of your decks & really lovely to hang out with you. Take care ❤
Great job with trimming the Fountain Tarot! I've been wanting to lop off the guilding for a while and you've inspired me.
Yes you definitely should if the gilding is bothering you! I like it so much better without it!
I’m glad I found your channel, love watching your collection and hearing all your thoughts and insights 😊
Thank you! I'm so glad!
Still watching (it will probably take another couple of days to watch everything) but I just wanted to say that I am really enjoying your collection, you have some beautiful decks. I am also preparing to start filming mine... but I'm probably overthinking the categories, lol. Love the way you talk about your decks!!
Thank you so much Saturnarium! That means a lot! I did enjoy making this video so much although it was quite exhausting hahah. Yes overthinking is my forte so I decided to just go for it, no categories no structure just decks! :)
I have a lot of those , many of them my favorites like The Morgan , OAT, Gentle, etc. Very surprised about the triple Goddess, I don't see that one a lot and I have ot for a very long. I get about Witches Wisdom, is a problem for me too but I enjoy the art so so much that I don't care
Monstarot looks soooo cute! 💓
It is so adorable! ☺️
Loved to see your collection 😍 thank you so much for sharing I can’t even imagine how much time that took. I have been thinking about filming mine too and it will be a beast to film so well done for getting through it 😊I’m nursing a flare up and this was the perfect cosy watch with a cup of tea I love long collection videos hehe☕️ also as a french person I can confirm your prononciation of the last deck was perfect 😉
Aww thank you Marine!
I love your tarot collection. 💕
Your collection is incredible! I enjoyed browsing the decks. I did sorta notice it didn’t radiate as much joy and excitement as I thought it would. Most decks were either unused or what sounded like regret. Maybe it’s just my interpretation though.
I really enjoyed this aspect of the video… and this why we love watching Sandi’s videos. She gives her honest opinion on how she is feeling about a deck in the moment. It is a natural thing that when you are looking at a collection you have amassed over time to not love everything in the current moment and also to feel unsure about if a deck needs to stay or if it was worth purchasing. It is this process that helps us create a collection we truly love and that represents who we are, where we’ve been and where we might be going.
@@andiinarcadia to not love everything for sure, but when 70% doesn't spark joy, it felt sad to watch. I do appreciate her honesty though because most people I think would have faked excitement.
Her decks are absolutely lovely, and that's the first thing I said in my comment. It's not a criticism for having a large number. I know some people judge for that and that's not what this is.
But when the owner themselves isn't happy, yeah, I think there's a beautiful opportunity there for a discussion.
I did wonder why she purchases decks without doing research on them if it just makes her dissatisfied afterwards, and I think that's a valid question to ask considering how much it kept coming up.
Also just to note that just because I say it's a valid question to ask, doesn't mean it's a required question to answer**
Hi Terri, first of all, thank you for watching and engaging in my video. I am just feeling a bit uncertain on how to respond without it sounding like I am trying to justify something, which I don’t feel like I need to do 😅. I look at my collection as an exploration of tarot. Some decks will stay and some will go, when it is time. Sometimes I like to research a deck, and sometimes I feel an instant connection and then I usually want to be surprised. Sometimes that works out and sometimes it doesn’t. There is nothing to be sad about, other than I don’t have enough time or energy most days to work with my cards as much as I would want to. I have had one hell of a year with several deaths and illness and my tarot interest has definitely been a solace to me, although I have not been able to read much recently. But yes, there are a number of very new decks in my collection that I haven’t gotten to know yet but that I am looking forward to explore and get to know in my own time. Just like I have a lot of books that I have not gotten around to reading yet. My collection is fairly new but I would definitely say that 98% sparks joy all in their own ways. Some by the excitement of getting to know them still. All this to say, no need to worry about me. I have my collection under control and am enjoying the process of buying decks and then curating my collection. By exploring all kinds of different decks I am constantly learning what works and what doesn’t for me. And by taking chances I might find something unexpected and that is exciting even though it sometimes doesn’t work out. Hope this answers your questions ☺️
@@ExploringTarot thank you for your thoughtful reply, and I really am sorry if I made you feel like you need to justify absolutely anything.
I put that little disclaimer in my last comment so that you wouldn't feel like I'm coming into your space as a stranger and demanding explanations, lol, so I do appreciate that you took the time to respond.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos! I hope we didn't start out on the wrong foot 😊
@@terriw6116 Oh no don't worry, we will just put the next foot forward ☺ No wrong feet here! 🧡
Controversial opinion alert! I love counterfeit decks- I only bought some for the first time this year and I spent maximum £3-8 per deck. I almost always buy the originals as well but leave them boxed as I don’t like big cards and use the counterfeit ones to read with. I just prefer pocket sized decks. If I don’t buy the original, it’s because I never connected with the deck and so I’ve saved myself a hefty price tag. The ones I don’t connect with never get used. I feel bad for the artist not getting their bit from me but I would be more upset if I parted with £50+ to buy their deck which i don’t connect with. This has only happened with 3 or 4 decks so far.
Also, because the price point is so low, I ended up buying decks I would never normally choose, ended up connecting well with them and so forked out for originals too.
I think counterfeit decks can serve a purpose if you are the kind of person who will buy the original too.
Hi! Thank you for sharing your opinion! And thank you for watching. I can definitely see your perspective and I understand your reasoning.
Personally I know that I am not comfortable with giving my money to counterfeiters and supporting their business. I do sometimes end up with decks that I don’t connect with but I trade or sell or gift them away.
In any case I can definitely relate on the card size! I have tiny hands and struggle with most decks, that’s why I end up trimming so many of my decks! 😅
🌻 be well!
If you're getting rid of those Wolf & Celtic decks I'm very interested
I have a few decks in my "purgatory box". Once I get around to passing them on I will probably post about it in the community tab and on instagram :)
Try side shuffling them … thats how i use my big decks
Yes, I have recently started learning how to shuffle bigger decks. It does take quite some getting used to :)
new subscriber! "met" you through Jenny, maybe? I'm loving your videos and fun vibe:) Look forward to dipping in and out off your world! I loved seeing the beautiful crochet you inherited from your Grandmother and as I am a budding crochet-er(better knitter) I love seeing your crochet pieces and may have to collect a bag out two. My own handmade bags are mad embroidery! Happy 2023!
Hi Jo! Nice to meet you! So glad that you find enjoyment in my videos!
What a wonderful library of tarot decks! You might want to hold off on trimming the Witches Wisdom Tarot deck. I just saw something about it will be going OOP and another version coming out, which might be a little smaller.
If you are ever interested in either selling or trading your extra copy of the Carte Postale tarot, please, please let me know. I have some oop decks I would be willing to trade, or I would pay.....
I am going to cancel my order with her as it's been almost 6 weeks since I ordered it and I am getting no response from her regarding my purchase. Totally bummed.
Great video!! Going to watch your Oracle collection tomorrow after work. Thank you for sharing!!
Hi! Thank you so much! I did hear about the new Witche's Wisdom version! I can't wait!
I will definitely keep you in mind if I decide to sell my extra copy of Carte Postale. I am so sorry that you are having so much trouble reaching out to the seller. I have tried to contact her as well but she seems to not really be online anymore. I hope she is ok.
Thank you so much for watching!
@@ExploringTarot Thank you for keeping me in mind. I filed a dispute with PayPal and they will give her until February 11th to reply, but so far, still nothing. I do hope she is ok. From what I can see on TH-cam and comments this doesn't seem like something she would do. Hopefully she is on a holiday/vacation.
I still would like to get this deck but I will just have to wait and see what happens. I hope she responds so we know she is ok.
Thank you again.
I'm enjoying all of your videos that I have seen...
Take care.
hi, there is a smaller version of the witches' wisdom coming out next year and the chunky one is going to go out of print, i thought maybe you'd like to know before you trim yours down! :)
Really good to know. Thanks!
Omg Gigi!!! You just made me so happy! Thank you for letting me know! I had no idea! ❤️
i haven't been able to find anything official, but i heard it out of the mouth of phyllis curott herself, she announced it on her facebook page in a video a while ago :)
I know what you mean about handling Witches Wisdom. I was getting extremely frustrated by it, so I just decided to shuffle it in segments, cutting and switching them around between shuffles, then just doing a lame shuffle at the end to combine the whole, lol
Yes! That deck is a nightmare to handle but I have recently been told that they are doing a new printing of the deck with smaller cards and thinner cardstock!!! I have really high hopes for it!
@@ExploringTarot Oh, that's great news! thank you!
Really interesting to see all the decks you have! I nearly stopped to comment when you got to Tarot of the Divine, because I have this deck and I have the same response as you. The stories in the accompanying big book, which you have to buy separately, are not nearly detailed enough. Several stories I was already familiar with so I knew they were way too short and missed significant parts, which makes me doubt if I’m getting the full meaning of the stories I don’t know or of how they connect to the tarot card.
What is most annoying is that the stories in the accompanying book do not even mention the card that they depict, and how that story relates to the card. Plus they are in a completely random order. It’s like a children’s book of tales from around the world, no mention of the tarot in it at all! So if you do a reading, you have to go to the LWB, find out what story each card relates to, then hunt through the entire index of the big book- which is not in alphabetical order, or in order of the cards - to find it. Only to get a very curtailed version of the story, and no explanation of why the author thinks the particular story and card work together, or what is divine about it. I spent hours trying to connect with the deck and the stories, but the author of this deck doesn’t make it easy and I lost the momentum.
I have the Mythic tarot, and the book has great detail as to why aspects of each myth illustrate aspects of each card. Its brilliant, very informative and illuminating, and I was assuming this would be similar. Such a shame. I hope Yoshi Yoshitani revises the book because it could be amazing…. folk and fairy tales have such wise messages.
Rant over, but I’m glad I’m not alone in my feelings about Tarot of the Divine!
Also glad I watched the whole video before commenting, as I kept thinking you would love Tarot aux Ramures Etrange! And there it was at the very end … I absolutely love the deck too, it’s one of my favourites. I struggle with the French LBW and google translate, eg instead of Queen, this deck uses uses the French word Deesse, goddess, but my initial search said it meant escort (as in, an escort girl you can pay for! Oops!) I guess a goddess is escorted by a god, in a chivalrous old fashioned way. So an English version would be a delight.
Lots of very interesting decks to consider, thank you so much.
Yes I totally agree about the Tarot of the Divine! It had so much potential.
And yeah I’m struggling a bit with google translate as well for the french guidebook… which is a shame.
Thank you for watching! 💖☺️

I have the indie version of this deck with the big guide book and it’s easily in my top 3 favourite decks for queer representation along with This Might Hurt and Queer Tarot. Thanks for the walk-through! I might have to pick up the mass market version as well just because 🌈
Hi Kori! Ooh which deck do you mean? Thank you for watching! ☺️
@@ExploringTarot Good question! Hehe I have the indie version of Fifth Spirit. It feels like silk in my hands when I’m handling it. Love! I’m excited to potentially have a back-up version now that’s available MM 😃
I got a zig photo signature pen, and it writes on the Druid Craft really well, if you want to just put a small sign of the card in a corner, and trim off the words.. I really wouldn't expect diversity in a deck that was labeled as "Celtic". 🙂
Thanks for the tip about the pen! I might have one of those lying around here somewhere!
And yes I suppose you are right about that 😅 I have just noticed it bugging me more and more lately… and some days it shines through more than others.
1:45:00 Cate Blanchet!
Yes! Thank you! haha! I hate it when my brain freezes like that and I can't remember a thing that I know I know!
Omgoddess! I loved this video!
Thank you Michelle, I'm so glad!
Thank you for sharing your collection, I really enjoyed this video very very much
the Animal Spirit Tarot comes from the TarotAndOracleByMM Etsy shop. Not TarotOracle, he did a tarot deck called the Waterfall Tarot, and an Echoes of Nature Oracle.
Yes! That is what I thought! I got confused since someone commented on my walkthrough video of that deck saying that it was by TarotOracle on TH-cam! But I remember thinking that can’t be right…
@@ExploringTarot I mod on TarotOracle's livestream, so I'm familiar with his work 🙂
@@marutakelers1856 thank you! I appreciate that you cleared that up! ☺️
Hi! I truly enjoyed watching this video! And you made me to buy a Vikings Tarot😆! Next year will be my "no buy" year so it's the last deck before I will be able to buy another one in 12 months.
Today I've gotten the package- unfortunately there is mistake in my LWB- the text in English concerning Major Arcana is completely different than in othere languages😮💨- there is no info about the Gods and Goddesses which are depicted in the cards! Could you check if your booklet has similar mistake? All the best- Ewa
Hi Ewa! Thank you so much! I am so glad you enjoyed it! 😅 I hope you will enjoy the vikings tarot! ❤️ so sorry that your book is faulty! Mine definitely mentions which god is on each card. If you send me a DM on instagram I can email you a copy of my book! I will be able to scan it once I am back at work in January! ❤️
@@ExploringTarot Thank you Sandi!!! I think we both are members of the Dawn Michelle Weavers Group (my name is Ewa Pelwecka there). If you could send me a copy via Messenger it would be great but no rush😚! Fortunately I found out the Italian translation has a correct content- having the names, thanks to Uncle Google, I was able to find out a lot of informations about each card!!! It was quite a digging😅 but thanks to this I really bound with this deck. Lot of images got a sense and added some more layers to my tarot vocabulary! Yesterday I made a list of the decks I want to work with during next year and this deck is included so thank you once more for introducing it to me😘!!! All the best- Ewa
Hi Ewa I am so sorry I totally missed this reply to my comment! ( I never got a notification of your comment, Thank you very much You Tube!) I will definitely scan the english part for you if you still want it! I will look you up on FB!
YASSSSS 🤩 This was so good Sandi!! So much fun to see all your decks and hear your thoughts! I have never felt like doing a collection video myself (even though I love watching them) but you have totally inspired me to do one in January 😱 Even if no one will watch I will have the best time sitting down with a cup of coffee going through all my decks 🤣 Can't wait for your oracle collection!! 😊
Woohooo! Thank you Jenny! So happy that I have inspired you cus I can't wait to see your collection!!! hahah
I am sure lots of people would enjoy seeing your collection!
Omg! You remembered my kiddo's favorite deck. You're the sweetest. Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us. I love to hear your take on everything. By the way, I just realized I have 2 decks that feature a rooster on the Tower card, do you know the connection? Thanks again!
Hi Marlene! Of course I remembered 🥰 she is such a sweetheart and her readings are such gems! ❤️
Ooh! What other deck had a rooster in the tower card? I am unsure of the intended meaning but since roosters symbolise sunshine, optimism, protection, energy, and vigilance I tend to read the rooster in a tower card as partly a well meaning warning but also a sign that despite a tower moment the sun will rise again.
Hope you’ve had a lovely Yuletime! ❤️
hello, thank you for sharing n.n i was wondering what you used to edge the french deck towards the end?
If I remember correctly I think I used the Faber Castell Metallic Highlighters, one layer Precious Green and one layer Glamorous Gold.
@@ExploringTarot it's beautiful !
My second time Here! ❤
How do you trim your cards so well? My first attempt was super uneven.
I follow the Dawn Michelle technique ☺️ she has a couple of great demo videos on her channel! I highly recommend it! Good luck!
aside from the artist not getting anyting out of it because it was a fake.
as far as using it for Tarot readings what's the difference between a fake and a real deck ? I'm sure it would still work .
Well, I personally feel that yes tarot is a tool, and it is made out of paper and you are the one reading the cards, you are what makes tarot work. BUT the art on it has been made by someone who has dreamt, worked, put their time, love, energy and effort into creating something powerful that can be used as a divination or self help tool. By buying a counterfeit deck, buyers are rewarding the thieves who steal artist's creations, and that makes the counterfeit decks tainted in my eyes. It just gives me the wrong vibes and I just don't want to use such a deck.
Såg att du trimmat din 🌈tarot fint❣️Men rent praktiskt hur gör man🤔 Och om man vill färga sidorna t ex lila hur gör man?
Dawn Michelle Tarot har många fina videon om hur hon trimmar och lägger färg på sina kort. Men korta svaret är att du tar ett kort i taget och drar t.ex. med en tuschpenna runt hela kortet, sen låter du dem torka innan du lägger ihop dem igen.
Men det kan vara lite knepigt med olika tusch sorter osv. eftersom vissa kan "läcka" in på bilden. Det finns en grupp på Facebook som heter Tarot with Scissors där man kan scrolla och se vilka olika pennor och grejer som folk använder.
@@ExploringTarot Tack snälla för svar för ska jag vara ärlig så trodde jag att man ”lämnade bort” korten för trimning och sen att man färgade med stämpeldyna på något sätt som typ scrapbooking 🙈Nu är jag lite mer upplyst ❤️ Måste prova med ”billiga” project förtst😀 (Så gulligt av dig att svara på så korkad fråga🙈❤️)
De va inte en korkad fråga alls! :) Jag tycker det är väldigt avslappnande att sitta och pyssla med mina kort och göra dem personliga. Men jo! en bra idé att testa med några billigare kortlekar först! :) Lycka till!

Hi Alycia, I bought my deck from WisdombyKK's etsy shop. Hope you find it!
how do u trim ur decks so nicely? do u just use scissors ?

Sorry to say this, but as someone with tiny hands, I sometimes buy tarot dupes from China... because they are often 6 by 10 cm, which is a great size I can manage! To make up for the loss of money and because I hate the art theft mostly done by Chinese impertinent manufacturers, I also buy the mass market version or donate to a kickstarter or etsy of the original creator...I did so with the Light Seers Tarot, The Spacious Tarot and The Modern Witch as well as the Cosmic Cycles Tarot. The tin box versions are often too small to really see the nice artwork! I rarely use my Sun And Moon Tarot in a tin box and I never used my mini Tarot of Pagan Cats Tarot. Please dear creators, give us something in between a huge and a mini deck!!!! I want to pay for all your effort, work and art, but I am often dissappointed.
I definitely understand your frustration! I too struggle with handling most decks. I have found that I really like the size of Fournier decks. I get along really well with Lo Scarabeo and Llewellyn decks, they have thin enough cardstock that is both bendy and durable and I think their standard tarot size is ever so slightly shorter. I struggle with basically every U.S Games deck I own, the cardstock is stiff and the cards are too big for me.
Indie decks, well yeah, since most of them seem to think the thicker the better, I can pretty much assume that I won't like how an indie deck feels... it is very frustrating indeed.
I agree 100% my best friend also has to buy the knockoffs because her hands are tiny. Also there are some decks out there that are absolutely horrible cardstock to boot.
