Thank you for doing this review on all of these decks. I fell in love with the Llewelyn rws deck that came in a box set, red and white flowers on the back. I want one more deck and this helping ALOT.
Loved watching and checking out your Waite-Smith collection, which I have most of. Instead of clone decks, I all them Waite-Smith spin-off decks! Thank you for sharing your world of Waite-Smith decks! 🌟🌟🌟
I loved listening to you share about your RW collection. I can see you have a deep love for the Tarot. The Golden Rider was not included and it is also very beautiful as are other RW . Thumbs up and subbed your channel. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for that! Yes ..Call me crazy but some decks I don’t buy cause I don’t like the backs of the cards so much lol that goes for all cards....what I would love is the old vintage looking huge deck I sometimes see..but usually a fortune. ..also forgot the name and only know on sight which doesn’t help
Thank you! Yes several people have let me know. That was the last time I bought a deck off eBay! Lots of bad copies there and you don’t know till too late!
Problem was I really couldn’t choose which is why I have so many. But if I could only have one I would get pebble back because it’s the first mass published deck of theirs so it has that history. Though I prefer the other design with a rose on the back. You should get what appeals to you more though! What deck feels more like yours?! That’s the one to get!
@@FreeSpiritChannel thank you for replying so fast! I also consider the Universal Waite, because of the colors. Though i dont like the copyright on the cards. Do you like this one better then those two decks? Is there a difference in card stock?
Yes I personally love all universal decks exactly why you said..I love the colors, blue skies, and clearer lines images and faces. I know some prefer the other versions but I also really like clean lines. So I tend to choose and go for the decks with clearer lines, blue skies and cleaner images. I pay less attention to the initials though I know some really want that on their decks. I don’t mind if doesn’t have that if cleaner and clearer to me.
Oh I don’t see a different in card stock. If I notice a major difference I would mention in video. All my decks feel relatively the same. Most are all produced by either US games or Lo Scarabeo …so all the same pretty much publishing them!
@@FreeSpiritChannel no, not initials but the copyright on everycard of US Games. In the right corner, dont like that very much. I also don’t like the regular harsh colours but i thougt that the agm is a bit less harsh? Or is it very screamy/garish with the yellow and others? And when i look at 11.30 the orange box is bigger than the blue beneath. Are the cards also bigger?

Thanks so much for that! I will check out! Meanwhile when you wrote that I found this and emailed myself! www.rosicrucian.org/history So cool to read about! Right up my alley too! I will check out your links too! Thanks so much! :)
Hi and thanks for this very useful video! May I ask you a question about AGMs with the purple back and those with the crackle back? Is the quality of the cardstock the same? Thanks a lot :-)
What a great question and honestly I couldn’t tell the difference until you asked it and just did all these tests on my cards! So my pebble back and blue purple rose backs are both from AGM so feel the same...when compared to Lo Scarabeo decks or US Games deck the AGM at first feels the same but starts to feel more like you can more easily bend AGM cards and on even closer inspection saw my ace of Pentacles had slight tear on top which has not happened to any of my other decks so will say appears to be thinner or not as good /heavy cardstock. That being said when using all the decks I don’t feel great difference between them! I use all the decks all the time! Hope this helps! :) I still love and use both my AGM decks.
I only have the Radiant and I love it so much, makes me happy just looking at the cards. But lately it has come to my mind the idea that I should look for a more "serious" or "authentic" one... I am not convinced about the white skies in the Universal. Do you get the same joyful vibe as in the Radiant?@@FreeSpiritChannel
Love your barometer-to find decks that “spark joy to you!” Yes! Go by that! I have a slew of decks in the playlist “deck collections” and also “close up reviews playlist” you can scroll through there to see pics of what decks grab you personally! It is very personal the relationship we have with cards and always best to find/pick out decks yourself that literally just feel like decks that were made for you!

Oh that sounds pretty! Now I’m going to have to check that one out! :) Happy to hear you enjoyed this review!

Can you please add the link to purchase the golden Dawn backed set
All the links of any decks shown here are in description box of video ...The one I think you’re referring to is the Tarot of AE blue backs...
The Centenial deck you have is pirated that's why it's smaller and has such large white borders on the back. Just thought you should know.
Thank you! Yes several people have let me know. That was the last time I bought a deck off eBay! Lots of bad copies there and you don’t know till too late!
Can you please tell me which one you prefer of the ae waite deck? The pebble back of blue cross back? What would you choose?
Problem was I really couldn’t choose which is why I have so many. But if I could only have one I would get pebble back because it’s the first mass published deck of theirs so it has that history. Though I prefer the other design with a rose on the back.

@@FreeSpiritChannel Thank you very much for the answer! They both look like very beautiful decks.
Do you like most the Radiant or the Universal?
I do love the brilliant blue skies of the radiant but the universal is just so clear and brilliant too. My personal preference is universal!
I only have the Radiant and I love it so much, makes me happy just looking at the cards. But lately it has come to my mind the idea that I should look for a more "serious" or "authentic" one...
