I have this deck also and I get the feeling that the Queen of Swords and Queen of Cups are self portraits. They look very much like the pictures of Dame Darcy.
I love this deck.. I use it when I am at the beach house and read for friends and family. It's remarkably in tune with the beach and waves ... My favorite cards are the Pages. I highly recommend this deck.
It’s so funny that you mention the back and forth struggle with this deck you went through before you bought it because I’ve gone through this same process ever since I saw this deck!!! The only difference is that I LOVE mermaids, it’s that there’s no deck out there that I’ve seen that captures the essence of “the mermaids” which I particularly look for and this deck, like you said, has a different vibe to it. Ultimately I may buy the deck in the future but I’m not ready yet and watch it go out of print when I do want to buy it too 😂😂😂😂 There’s also this Caribbean vibe to the deck, and I live in Florida with connections to the Caribbean, so the deck does capture an aspect which I do actually look for in decks because soooo many decks tend to over-replicate a Celtic or Norse aspect that hasn’t always resonated with me throughout my life, with the exception of a handful of decks which I’ve already bought 😂😂
Oh and I have to say...I love the brunette mermaid representing in this deck! Growing up it always seemed blond (besides little mermaid) & all the kids I lived by from the beach were blonde & tanned & I just always felt like I couldn’t have the mystical mermaid energy in me! I would connect with dolphins a lot & seals actually. But nowadays it’s so much better...
I really love the court cards in this deck. Often the court cards are uninspired or even boring....but this deck they are so cute. I love how they are dressed in period costumes and I love the close up face images in this deck. Just beautiful!
I just got her Witchy Cat tarot and though I love cats, have never wanted a cutesy cat deck. But I really love Dame Darcy's for similar reasons to yours for loving The Mermaid Tarot. Thanks for your perspectives on working with this one!
I've been back and forth on the cat deck, I'm not really a cat person but I do love her decks. I might have to take another look at it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
Could it be that it is meant to be grass behind the High Priestess? Merfolk are spirits, dwelling in the water realm... in the traditional RWS the other side of the veil behind the High Priestess is watery and in the world of spirit. Maybe for the Merfolk, the other side of the veil would be the physical world and earthy? I've had the Dame Darcy Mermaid on my wish list for nearly two years and gone back and forth... looks like tomorrow could be the day I finally purchase... kind of feel I need the Spacious Tarot expansion pack and should add another deck to my purchase to get free postage 😆 As ever, thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤️
Ooh that's a great interpretation. I'll have to give that card another look. I do love this deck. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I have such wonderful experiences with it. :)
Beautiful walkthrough 🥰 🧜♀️ This was my first Indie deck 3years ago and it is still my favorite ( I have 3 copies 2 without the matte edging- worried if something happen to it …I had to have a backup or 2 🤦🏼♀️ ) Lovely 🧜♀️ Love my water decks being a Moon Child ♋️ Pretty sure I was a mermaid in a previous life!!!
I love mine so much if I don’t have a reason to use it I will just shuffle & flip thru it...I live about 45 minutes North of LA & we just found a few Hag stones last time we went to the beach. I was thinking I want to take my deck with me next time & just flip thru it or have a card for the day pulled that I can deep dive into....I hear & feel exactly what u mean about SoCal beaches...I can’t imagine not being close to a beach.
I paused and pulled a couple cards...I love the 8of pentacles. I asked for one card & 3 came flying out! I got the beautiful 8 of pentacles, 8 of cups (hmmm interesting!) & I got Judgment. Yow-zers! Well it looks really pretty so I’ll enjoy digging in...page of wands at the bottom. Pages are the hardest for me & they always come out... Have u created a spread especially for this deck? Hint...hint...😬🕶😎
Thanks for the deep dive. I've been hemming and hawing about this deck since I decided I was interested. I'll probably watch this video a few times over and you know skeleton meme lol Its a very not me deck, yettttt lol
Hello, I have a question unrelated to the video but I’m hoping someone could answer me: I recently got into tarot and bought a couple of decks online since I live in the Middle East and don’t have access to metaphysical shops. It has come to my attention that my decks are most likely fakes. I feel bad now that I know this, but thankfully found a trustworthy site that ships to where I live. As for my tarot decks, I’ve done some readings and they were accurate... does this affect my readings in any way?
I personally don't think it would affect your readings at all. It's more about the ethics behind the industry than how it effects your actual use with the cards I think. All decks are, after all, just ink and cardstock. I hope that helps! 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I hadn't noticed it being fuzzy. Maybe check out some other images, perhaps the video was slightly out of focus. It's definitely one of my favorites. Thank you for watching. ❤️
Might be the picture quality on the video. Do you know how to adjust? I hate it when TH-cam switches it up and me and starts playing my videos on lower resolution.

Beauttifully done. Well said. Very insightful. Thank you for sharing.✨🩵

It's a favorite in my collection for sure. Such a wonderful energy to it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I really do enjoy this deck so very much!!! :) Probably some of my favourite cardstock ever!!!!

It does sound like it may be a good fit for you! I love it now, it brings me such joy every time I get it out. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

I am hoping to some day get back closer to the beach, even if it is our chiller beaches here in the PNW. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

I am so glad you enjoyed it! I didn't really think it was a "me" deck either but it surprised me. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️
I want this just for the queen of swords.
Isn't that an amazing card? I love it. 🙂 Thank you for watching! ❤️

Willing to sell your Dame Darcy 1st edition mermaid tarot deck?
I'm sorry it's not for sale. It's a forever keeper in my collection. :)
Is it just me or is the printing a little fuzzy? Not on all cards, it messes with my eyes, shame cause I love the art
