If I hadn't the indie version already, I'd buy the massmarket now. However, I am happy to have the indie, as I like it more (maybe because I already have it for a couple years, and it is one of my absolute favourite decks). The major "flaw" for me on the mass market is the metallic edging. But I love that the deck is now available to more people! It's such an outstanding deck!
Same! This was a review copy so I don't think I would've purchased it either. As you say, it's really good that it's available to everyone now. But I do much prefer my indie copy 🩷
Martyn, this indie version is out of market. Not available anymore. It is sold out. But it does not matter, for the new edition is even better. ❤
Thank you so much for letting me know ❤️
I have the Cosmic Wisdom Tarot which I got from Cheryl, it’s a really lovely deck. I keep getting distracted by the dolls behind you 😂❤️
Haha they are watching 🤣🤣🤣 I love the cosmic wisdom Sandra. All of Ethony's decks are lovely 🩷
@@martys_musings they really are 😂 yes it’s a lovely deck, it’s the only one I have of Ethony’s 💖
@@SpiritofAvalon you need to get them all now 🤣 dolly said 🤣🤣🤣🩷
@@martys_musings 🤣🤣 the other one I quite like the look of is the Penumbra but I don’t think that’s technically an Ethony deck🤔 not sure xx
@@SpiritofAvalon it is. She just always uses different artists. My favourite is the modern love 🩷🩷🩷
Nice video.! I’ve wanted this deck for ages but I’d prefer an original rather than the mass market version. I can’t find it anywhere 😢
I've just been informed that's it's sadly out of print. So only the mass market version is available.
I don't know if they still have it, but did you try at salon des arcanes (a French online shop I can recommend), I've still seen it there a couple of weeks ago. The guidebook doesn't usually come with the deck though, and needs to be purchased additionally, there is no LWB, so I really recommend getting the guidebook too.
@@martys_musings 😓
@@khan7459 thanks I had a look but couldn’t see it, I’ve messaged them to see if they have any left 😭 it’s been on my wish list for ages!
@spambotful it's possibly because it was too expensive to print for the creator.
So excited to watch. Love this deck. Love Finnish mythology! Martyn, the symbol on the card backs of the Rockpool version is “hannunvaakuna” and it is basically a symbol of good luck / protection from evil spirits and bad luck.
Ah cool! Thank you so much for clarifying that lennox 🩷🤗🩷
Finally Martyn 😘 I'm already using mine 😆 so glad she mass marketed it. One question: can you tell me if the books are similar in content, or has the myths been altered for mass market please?
Very similar. Hardly any changes at all ❤️
@@martys_musings ideal, thank you 😊
Welcome 🤗
Watching right now, looks awesome! ❤️
I love this deck so much 😍
@@martys_musings it’s a beautiful deck, both versions. So interested in finding it. Thank you for sharing 👍🏼🙏❤️
You're welcome. I totally agree ❤️❤️
@@martys_musingswe gotta do a live together someday Marty! 👍🏼
@@moonscarab most definitely 🩷
You've sold me! Gorgeous deck
I was so moved by the artwork. That never happens to me 🩷🩷
Beautiful artwork! 😍😍😍
Absolutely stunning my friend ❤️😍😍
I am SOOOO glad you like the deck! Thanks so much showing the cards and sharing your thoughts. 🥰
Thank you so much for your gift Stephanie. Your decks are absolutely beautiful ❤️
Aw this is so lovely! The colours are beautiful 😍 Are there 2 lovers cards? The first one looks like the lovers card from the Oak, Ash and Thorn?!
There are definitely two devil cards. I don't think there are two lovers cards 🩷
The artwork gives me this feeling that children’s book illustration from the 90s had. It’s so immersive and comforting, yet sombre and bittersweet, like the feeling of being in a cozy cabin while it’s raining drearily outside, having finally found comfort after going through something difficult. It’s hard for me to really describe what I mean 😅 but I love these images too. ❤
That's a beautiful way of putting it Amanda. It gives me the same kind of feeling too. There was a book I had in the 70s. It reminds me very much of that. Sadly, I can't remember what it's called now 😞🩷
Love the glasses on you 😎
Thank you so much 🩷🩷
I could do with a declutter I have a bunch of decks I don’t really use but I don’t want to get rid of either. Nice looking decks!
It had to be done. I needed space for more dolls 🤣
@@martys_musings absolutely the right priorities 🙌🏻
You look good in those glasses, Martyn . I'm allergic to decluttering 😂😂😂 I love the Cosmic Vision deck. It is a great reader
Thanks B 🤗🩷 I used to be allergic to it as well. Not now though. I need space for more Blythe's 🤣😂 Cosmic is a lovely deck isn't it 🩷🩷
@martys_musings I carnt wait to see your Blythe doll video. Ive been getting jealous of your instagram photos 📸 💗🤣🤣🤣🤣
@ikalesunflower hahaha 🤣 I'll make one next week B 🩷🩷🩷🩷
@@martys_musings 😍😍😍😍
Those glasses look so good on you Martyn 💚 My decluttering goes very slowly, I love so many decks and have to be very sure it’s not for me before I let it go. I learned that I can’t read animal tarots so won’t buy those anymore. And that decks other people love don’t mean that I will love them too.
Thank you dear Maria 🙏🏻 yes, it takes me a while to decide. like you, animal decks are not my favourite apart from Three Trees Tarot decks. I also don't really like too many 'themed' decks either. I've kept all my divine feminine decks out. And my starchild ones. Mainly, they were all just mass market ones that I haven't used in a long time. maybe I'll just give them away in time. But not yet ❤️
@@martys_musings i love the three trees decks but haven’t bought the last one. When I don’t give away my decks I use Vinted to sell them and that works often if you don’t over ask.
I love your orange and green look. It gives great energy.
Thank you so much my friend ❤️
Decluttering always feels good. 😊 Great decks, The Cosmic Wisdom Tarot is on my wishlist. 💕
It really does! I've been thinking of doing it for a while now. I'm glad I did. The Cosmic Wisdom is a lovely deck 🩷
Dem glasses!!!! Sexxxy boi! ✅❇️✅
Great chat! Loved it! Blessings! ❤
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
⭐️
Thank you. I just bought this deck at a half-price bookstore. I was so excited at my find. This is so cute.
Perfect! I'm sure you will love it 🩷
Thank you my friend for this, two BEAUTIFUL decks. I think we all need some more colour in our lives 💙 The creator of the Color Vision Oracle is re-doing the guidebook so it’s more easily readable for the re-print in November.
You're welcome Miranda 🩷 since I got the deck, I've added colour to lots of things. Myself, the way I style the dolls. It creates happy vibes 💕 I'm so happy the guidebook is getting a reprint.
Would anyone consider trimming the borders?
I no longer have the deck.
Did you not connect with the deck?@@martys_musings
@@martys_musings if you don't mind me asking, why do you not have the deck anymore?
@@ilanakali1030 I didn't find it useful to work with in my practice.
How have you taken so long to get the Oak Ash & Thorn?! 😅 I think it came out not long before I got into tarot and it was the first indie deck I ever bought. I don’t use it a lot as a tarot deck but it’s one I’ll keep forever as the art is so beautiful and I find it comforting just to sit and look through the cards. I stay in north east Scotland and I see a lot of the animals depicted in it every day. Other decks come and go but I’m so attached to this one it’ll never leave me. Glad you’re enjoying it ❤
I have no idea why it's taken me so long. I'm really late to the party this time 🤣🤣 I'm so glad I do have it now. It's one of the only animal decks I have that I can relate to. All of my others have been sold or given away 🩷
Beautiful, beautiful decks Martyn! I love colour & colour therapy .....but of course, I only wear black 🤣🖤
@@houseofhag ha! 🤣 Well I'm hardly willy Wonka love 🤣🤣
this deck really is gorgeous 💙
Seriously beautiful Wren 🩷
This looks really nice Martyn, I love colour in decks. Just for me now, a lot of decks are out of my price range when they are £70 or above. Not saying it isn’t worth it, I am sure it is and if I had the funds I would get it. I had to laugh when you were saying “hang on” when you were trying to find something - I thought you were going to say “I’m a shit show” 🤣🤣❤️
I understand that Sandra. I wouldn't normally pay that either you know that. But seeing as I don't buy hardly any decks now, I could justify it 🤣 I almost did say shit show 🤣🤣🩷
@@martys_musings totally understand, if you have the money and it’s something you really like why not go for it 🥰. I knew those words would be on the tip of your tongue 🤣🤣❤️
@@SpiritofAvalon well you know I could buy a few decks that total £70 and they would be shite 🤣🤣 so I'm really fussy now with what I buy. Sandra, but you know that could change anytime soon 💀🤣🤣🤣
@@martys_musings actually that’s how I look at it Martyn, that if I can I would rather pay a bit more and buy something really nice 🥰❤️
@@SpiritofAvalonthat's the way I see it now. The money I've wasted on decks not to use them because they were a good price. It's not worth it ❤
Beautiful decks. Still need to get the first deck that you showed it's been on my list for a while now.
The shamanic one is gorgeous 🥰
gorgeous 💙
I agree Wren 🩷
Martyn's been on the sherry today ,lol 😂😂😂
Lol 😂😂😂 I wished I had!
Much better with this full size screen format, Martyn. A very nice deck indeed. Thank you for the review
Thanks my friend. I think I had the settings all wrong 😕🩷🩷
Absolutely love these decks, will treat myself one day. Adore animal decks ❤
They are beautiful 😍❤️
Thank you Martyn!! This was so kind of you. Honored to get the front facing view and not the overhead hands view. Haha! I’m so glad you love the deck and book. It certainly was a labor of love! And of course, I’d be happy to chat anytime about the deck’s process.
It's been an absolute pleasure Lennox 🩷 I love everything you do. We can sort something out for the live 🥳🩷
Beautiful Martyn and yes, so wonderful to see UK flora & fauna 🙏💚
I agree Mel. That's what's put me off all of the other decks I've had ❤️❤️❤️
this deck is so beautiful , I'm enjoying my deck soo much and the guidebook is really informative
I love it too ❤️
So, so happy I backed this deck. It arrived a week or so ago . Love it. I appreciate the Guidebook as well, find it super valuable. The deck really pairs beautifully with lots of decks as well. Super special this one. Agian love it!!!
It's absolutely beautiful isn't it? A very special deck indeed 🩷🩷
This deck is very alluring.
Totally amazing 😍
They look like really nice decks.
They really are lovely 😍
Yay! I'm so glad you love the decks! It's been such a joy to create them. 🥰
I absolutely love them both so much. Thank you ❤❤❤
From my personal experience from seeking psychics for a tarot reading to learning how to read them on my own I have concluded that tarot is very misleading and the bringer of false hope. I was told by many readers and my own readings that I will be with my life partner by a certain date however each reading failed by its due date and it’s been 15 years with nothing happening in my love life! I think I only cling to the idea of using tarot because some of the things they reveal do come true but a majority of the things they say especially the positive reading never ever rarely come true. Many readers encourage that I should read for other people as they say I am really good. I have only done readings for a couple of people for free and they confirmed my readings came true but I am angry at the experience I’ve had and I could never bring that same false hope to others if I were to do it for many people. I just don’t understand how tarot readers can give readings for other people about their problems when they themselves can’t even figure out their own problems despite having access to reading cards. This year is the ultimatum I have finally made and it’s leaning to not reading cards anymore. I will even seek therapy to ensure I never ever deal with a tarot deck again!
Hi Jon. I apologize for the late response. I myself do not use tarot for predictive readings. Things can change far too quickly for that. I find a lot of readers now totally unethical in their practice. As mostly, it's done just for money. I personally stepped back a while ago from reading for others. I use the cards for self reflection and empowerment for myself. That is all. I agree with a lot of points you have made. I'm sorry you were given false hope from the reading you had. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
Thank you so much for this video, Martyn. It's always great 😀
Thank you for watching ❤️😍❤️
Martin, you described the Somnia Tarot perfectly..claustrophobic and suffocated. Someone else here said Scared. This deck was created to do with Sleep Paralysis. For anyone who has experienced that, as I have, it is suffocating as you can’t scream or do anything to help yourself, which makes you feel as you’re slowly suffocating. Essentially..you feel paralyzed. And, the experience itself can be terrifying..at least in my case. I feel like I’m being attacked physically and mentally. I’ve read this happens when you’re on the verge of reaching an important epiphany in your life, and this attack is to prevent that from happening. I’d suggest keeping the deck and maybe go back to it later. It’s pretty powerful. 💜
Hi Lisa. I sold it a couple of weeks ago. Even though the photography is incredibly beautiful. It's really not a deck I would use. It's an amazing concept. And I have so much admiration for the creator. But I found it far too suffocating to use. I can only imagine what sleep paralysis is like. It really must be awful 😞🩷
Glad you had a great time in London, shame about the ebay nonsense 😢 don't know why we can't just be kind to each other.
I love the Somnia photo edition! I use it for ancestral trauma release. I have inherited family issues/ trauma , and do therapy, and I use that deck to assist that. The fact that the faces are covered is perfect, as it reflects the situation: there are ancesters I have a phot, some I have a name, some I have a birth date, some I have been told an anecdote, some I knew myself.... and mostly I have only some shards of information, or even none. As in this deck. And the covered faces leaves it open to me to insert in my mind a face from a photo or my imagination. Also the nebulous atmosphere is totally reflecting the situation, as there will be things that I'll never know, or never see clearly, and I need to accept that. The borders are necessary though, they provide a frame that is like a window. I am not in there, I'm in a safe space, and I can retreat and close the windows at any time . The covers as well as the cold atmosphere and the borders provide me with the distance that I need to be able to do it in a healthy way. I also use it to help dig through some nightmares I dreamt in the past and my newer ones. At first I was creeped out a bit, by the images. But now, I see it as scenes that are frozen in time, and covered up to not gather dust, and the initial uncomfortability has completely dissolved.
Hi Martyn, glad to see you again. Love your reviews. Have you heard about Nigredo Tarot on kickstarter? It's a really cool shadow deck. I'm all about the darkness. 😂
So good Martyn! Always appreciate your insights xo❤
I love London too, it's a spectacular city! I think it was Raecine at owlmoon513 who said the Somnia Tarot has an angry teenager vibe. It's extremely cool and I do love the art . . . but it does have that self-absorbed, self-isolating feel. The Dream Dust Shamanic deck looks beautiful -- not sure I'd use it because of the size. Thank you so much for sharing all the goodies.
I completely agree with you about Somnia Tarot. I am amazed by the creation story behind it. I was also very excited when it was coming out but then I saw the cards (maybe it was on Kickstarter) and I felt scared...But the art is definitely beautiful, great illustrations! And thank you for all the information you gave in the video about other decks🙏
Hi Marty, I also have the Somnia Tarot and I don't use it as I should, I thought I would be able to get past the covered faces but no, so it's there on my bookshelf 'resting' On the other hand, I love the Rainbow Tarot, it's so fun
