This video just popped up in my feed. I haven’t looked at this deck for some time, so I pulled it off my shelf. I think maybe it’s meant for me to give this deck a second look at this time in my life.
I bought this one too without really seeing it, I couldn't believe how big the cards are 😮 I've been using this deck for dream interpretation and keep them by my bed 😊
I have had this deck for a couple months. I was really thrown off with the lack of masculine energy because I feel that balance works best, but they do actually read pretty well. And the art is amazing!! Just a little strange without actual male pictures.
Oh wow! What a beautiful deck 😍 as soon as you read that first piece from the book about looking out the classroom window, it reminded me of MY school report “if allowed Sandra would dream away the afternoon” 😂 this deck is definitely one to get lost in. I particularly like the Strength card, when you said look at the mountain in between I thought Oh, I won’t tell you what I saw then as I am sure you would laugh 🤣 Stunning deck, just a bit of a shame about the absence of males but it’s still going on my wish list 😍❤️
Thanks for sharing this deck! I'm not into photo-realism and it's hard to tell with this one whether it is, but it feels like it. Not my type of deck but I hope you enjoy it!!
Love your walk throughs Simon. Not keen on this deck so won't be adding it to the cart! I love the art but wish they had different pages and proper knights and Kings but each to their own. 💖💖
I haven’t said it yet, but I love your new intro. It’s funny that when I saw the Alchemical Tarot I ran to get it, and as much as I like the artwork of this deck I don’t have a draw to get a copy for myself. Ah well, can’t love them all 🤷🏻♂️
Thanx for showing us this awful deck, Simon. Money saved for better things now. My first disappointment with the Tarot of Enchanted Dreams is the Fool card, which is lovely, but just a retitled Wheel of Fortune. I agree there’s a kinship of meanings there between 0 and X, but they aren’t meant to be interchangeable. And even the otherwise lovely Empress gets dragged into the confusion with her astrological hula hoop. All the cards depict the Moon on the backs, and most also show her on the fronts. Does this indicate a heightened sense of illusion in most if not all the cards? The deliberately unexplained (and perhaps borderline snide) omission of humans in powerful cards like the Emperor (where the ‘power behind the throne’ is a slithery/snakey/whiplike ‘horned something/someone’), the empty thrones of the Kings, and the empty armor of the Knights, along with the cookie cutter faced Pages, doesn’t come across as a way to welcome or “make room” for the observer’s participation in the scene. Seems more like a “meet the new boss, same as the old boss, we won’t get fooled again” sociopolitical vibe, which is okay, but feels discordant to the rest of the artwork somehow. The Queens are better differentiated (and gorgeous!), but no warmer, and I wouldn’t dare shake/kiss any of their hands in greeting for fear of poisoned talons. There are 2 male depictions, one a small silhouette on the 10 of Cups, and one actual depiction as the guy in the Lovers card. He’s apparently bathing his sins away in the Ganges before the image of his spiritual/angelic princess, and no alternative choices are visible or implied. Hmmmm. The artwork for the cards in general is technically beautiful, but simultaneously so cold, so saccharine… and like saccharine, there's a bitter aftertaste of vampiric misandry in it. Reminds me of the Wicked Witch of the West's quote: “Something with poison in it … attractive to the eye and soothing to the smell, poppies, poppies …..” Uhhhhh… I’ll pass.
Haven’t watched the whole thing but I was so worried the box was going to catch fire every time you opened the top! It kept getting closer to the candle flame 🌺
Hi Simon! This deck makes me think of decks by Colette Baron-Reid. I do like some of the cards, not really fond of the cards with close ups of women. That seems too "fashion magazine" to me. Love the Death, Tower and Sun card. I'm not a fan of creators changing card names to reflect their idea of the card meanings. That puts me off. It is colorful and vibrant which is nice....but I don't think I would really use it. Thank you for the lovely walk through!
This might be off my list now😀🤷🏼♀️. Several things are just odd, most if all the lack of masculine element. Even in female centric decks the women shown are exploring and in their masculine energy. This one just completely obliterates it without an explaination. The pages are just faces, almost identical ones too.
This was an oddly interesting deck for me. The graphic rendering drives me a bit nuts...but it has a nice vibe and good text. It reads good for me too. I cut the gilding off and large rounded the corners to make the gigantic cards a bit more manageable. It is also uniquely 100% feminine, which can have its place.
MR. SIMOM...SO MANY WONDERFUL DECKS!!...i started my journey with tarot over 30 yrs. ago...nothing has eclipsed the rws...what are your thoughts on why this is so?..( i might be off topic but i've been meaning to ask you this for awhile but i keep missing your live streams)...thx and bless you and all that you do!
Yesss...so iconic, strikes a universal chord, rws had and still has a magical magnetism that keeps growing and expanding going deeper and deeper and higher and higher at the same time. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, i really appreciate it!
I love this deck so much...it is filled with such beautiful colour, imagery, ethereal magic and there's a moon in almost all of the cards; such an emotional deck, it resonates with me. But it's just one of the nicest decks I've seen. I believe this creator Yasmeen is producing another deck which will have men included. Apparently this was a healing process for Yasmeen. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for sharing. Here's the interview if you wish to view: th-cam.com/video/v9a_G_wY7bs/w-d-xo.html (I hope this is ok to give out).
I think this is also a wonderful, healing deck for real warriors, who no longer feel "agape love" in their relationship after a breakup. I'm a really tough guy, but to be honest, I need that love. So, thank you for this deck.
This is an interesting deck! Thank goodness I am not feeling called to it. I have invested in 15 decks over quarantine 😬 I should probably just stay off of TH-cam/away from deck reviews, haha. Thanks for your posts! 🙏🏼
OK Simon, No more sharing of my Tarot images for you! I still got about 9 more images to finish up for the Majors and then an illustrated Pipish Deck (GDS) based. So enjoy the wait for two years.
@@the_hermits_cave You said it not I. You like surprises. I was about to share with the Cavers the Lucifer card...well, you will get to see it in 2022.
Added to my cart! The gilding is gorgeous! I just love this deck so much. I do not like that it doesn't have males in it. I love LGBTQ decks, diversity and the divine male represented. I have to think about this one.
Patsy’s Mystical Musings It’s not my personal aesthetic, but if you like it Patsy, at the time of typing this it is currently selling for £27.80 at Blackwells 🙂
Patsy’s Mystical Musings You’re welcome lovely 😊 I always check for prices of decks between Amazon, Blackwells, Book Depository and Wordery because the price difference for the same decks can be staggering.
Sorry, I have to say that although these cards are colourful, the lack of masculine presence has put me off. The female depictions were more akin to beauty magazine photos. To me, the deck lacked male energy, which by the way some of us females have in our characters and souls. It also didn't come across as enchanted to me, no Princes or heroes.
I'm sorry but I consider this tarot close to the offensive and exclusive. Empty thrones instead of kings? What would we think of a tarot with empty thrones of queens?
I'm trying to save money so am really glad I don't like this deck. This girl can't stand decks which only have women in them (kinda fond of a nice hairy man myself 😉) x
lovely video Simon. The art in this tarot is so stunning xx
It is and has a wonderful energy too
Many thanks. Wonderful deck and a pleasure to watch your presentation as always.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Me again! This seems to be a very healing deck. It is giving me a lot of reiki vibrations. I have just ordered it, thank you for sharing x
susan garratt You’re welcome lovely 🙏🏼❤️
Just got myself a cuppa. Time to chill with a Simon walkthrough 🙂 Looking forward to this ✌️
This video just popped up in my feed. I haven’t looked at this deck for some time, so I pulled it off my shelf. I think maybe it’s meant for me to give this deck a second look at this time in my life.
The colors in this deck are beautiful. Wonderful, detailed walk-through, my friend. ❤️
Thank you lovely 🙏🏼❤️
I bought this one too without really seeing it, I couldn't believe how big the cards are 😮 I've been using this deck for dream interpretation and keep them by my bed 😊
Angelene Marie Great idea!
I have wanted this deck for quite awhile. Your walk through convinced me to go ahead and order it. Magical✨. Thanks Simon.
I have had this deck for a couple months. I was really thrown off with the lack of masculine energy because I feel that balance works best, but they do actually read pretty well. And the art is amazing!! Just a little strange without actual male pictures.
It is a beautiful deck. Me personally, I would love to see more decks with much more masculine energy over all.. Thanks for the review.
Thanks so much for showing this deck. Even though I was thinking no more decks.. just really connected to this one so ordered it 😉
Love the intro Simon!

That’s a beautiful deck❤️ I love the Aces, the Tower and the Devil. Another one on the wish list🙂
I have this deck and I love it 🥰 it’s big gilded and images are beautiful ❤️
Love your walk throughs Simon.
Not keen on this deck so won't be adding it to the cart!

Beautiful! I ordered before your walkthrough was finished. I must say though that I would appreciate more diversity in the deck.

I agree, everything has its place, and I’ll draw on this when I need that famine vibe.
The Hermit’s Cave I was reading with it again last night and it does read really nice. I’m always surprised how clear the message is.

Maybe because the images are so iconic and well known, steeped in history, that they are ingrained in us?
Yesss...so iconic, strikes a universal chord, rws had and still has a magical magnetism that keeps growing and expanding going deeper and deeper and higher and higher at the same time. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly, i really appreciate it!
I'm doing my math homework and watching you at same time 😅❤🧘♀️🙌
Your intro is beautiful lol. Coming from a Virgo. 🥰
Thank you for sharing Simon , the artwork is beautiful but I think the lack of males would really put me off :) x
I was hoping I wouldn't like this deck, oh oh too late I want it now xx

A very beautiful deck but I miss the diversity. I might buy it for the imagery rather than to read
Love this deck but way to expensive for me 🙄🙏❤️

Oh I'm so relieved that I don't want this one!! For once you're not convincing me I need a new deck Simon!!😂

Meh. Not for me. Thx for the walkthrough though Simon! It's as useful to know what NOT to put on the wishlist as what to add :)
No deck for me. Thank you, Simon. I won’t waste my money. The lack of masculinity is like a call for unbalanced world. Nothing that I want to support.
I understand, but I have the Devine masculine on its way so I feel that it will balance well with that
@@the_hermits_cave It sounds reasonably to me. I am looking forward to a review :).
It's fine but there is a difference between female-centric and anti-male decks. This is thinly veiled.
I'm sorry but I consider this tarot close to the offensive and exclusive. Empty thrones instead of kings? What would we think of a tarot with empty thrones of queens?
