Thanks for the kind words about the LWBs, Lisa! Great choices of keywords for the oracle cards. One of the words I used for Nicoletta's art on the cards is bittersweet -- not in a sappy nostalgic sense, but quite literally, like ultra-dark chocolate that is almost unpleasant to eat, and yet.... and yet .... there's a heady rush from it as well. The dark side can be quite compelling. As I mentioned on one of your other videos, I don't see these characters as little girls but rather as dolls. What YOU bring to them is what gives them personality and perceived experience. It's a great, creepy, beautiful tarot deck and oracle, and I enjoyed your video about it!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This deck wasn't making the most sense to me ... you have just unlocked it. I will be rewatch, multiple times I'm sure, to really bring it home. Gratitude.
Lisa, why?!?!?!?!? I have seen this deck over and over again, but I never got it until this video. And then I went down the rabbit hole to find Nicoletta's artwork and now I need all of her prints!!! Thank you so, so, so, so much for this video 💖💖💖💖
Love, love love this deck & art aesthetic to pieces & bits. It’s whimsy with a little dose of discomfort and I love when decks reveal themselves like an onion and this does that.
This was mind blowing, Lisa! You just transformed my relationship with this deck… I think it is one of the deepest, richest healing decks around. Wow, you opened my eyes to new card meanings - I finally see the RWS in this deck! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I got the tarot deck when it first came out and I've always adored it. American society wears as mask of civility, order, and logic so as a person raised in severe dysfunction, I love when people and things are real or brave enough to pull back the veil and shows the darkness that lies beneath and oozes out the sides. That's what this tarot deck does. People who fear what's in the darkness or really don't want to know what's behind the veil are going to hate this deck. It's a forced look at everything nobody wants to see but since I've already seen it, it's validation of my experiences and the fact that society is just one big gas light. I'm going to have to take a look at the orace deck now.
Thank you for sharing your insight about this lovely deck. I love it when things don’t make sense because this work is supposed to access the power of our intuition beyond the superficial decks out there. ❤
I loved this so much! You know my love for these decks, the tarot in particular spoke to me from the first moment and I wouldn’t move any of the associations either. I knew and understood it from the start and it surprised me as much as it did you. 🖤🖤🖤 Also, Lunaea did such an amazing job with the lwb,something I wish I had mentioned in my video. I was talking about the names of the artwork and how it connects but i should have mentioned the brilliant job Lunaea did!
Your video is such a resource and you did a beautiful job. I get it, though. I always think of *something* I wish I'd said in a video it seems. AND YESSSS this deck is really special!
Just popping on to say that I also often love those little Lo S guidebooks. Not all but most of the ones I have I’ve loved. They are tiny but they often pack a punch. Just like me 😂. I also love to see that even after all of the decks and all of the years we can still be as excited and touched as you are by this deck. 💜
I had so hoped you'd make a video on these decks to help me connect better and I was not disappointed. You managed to analyse the artwork and its meanings so well that I'm really excited to work with these cards now. I especially like how you compared the tarot's Minors of each suit to each other to show parallels. Thank you SO much!
I finally understand this deck association with inner child work. I was judging the whole deck by the picture on the cover, of a naked child. It freaked me out. I understand why now, I’m having a hard time facing my inner child. I’m just learning to indulge my inner child, but I feel guilty when I do.
I am both terrified and intrigued by this deck. I don't think I've ever had that immediate revulsion from something so cute. At the same time, I can see where this would be unapologetic, powerful healing for deep rooted trauma. Great walkthrough as always. Much to ponder here.
I wish I could see the power of innocence that you mention! For me this deck feels….ill. Like some disease or despair is overwhelming that innocence. The doe-eyed girl, the nursery toys, the sugar and flowers…and the violence perpetrated both against her and by her own hand against others, the sexualization and phallic shapes, and the nervous sort of energy the characters so often seem to display…damn. Just damn. I love her style but the subject tends to repel me, and I wish it were otherwise. Thank you for your thoughtful walk through!
Erin, I have the same visceral reaction to this deck that you do. I cannot work with it. I can't get past the sexualization of the girl and I don't see reclamation of power at all. I see deep wounds that have created a deeply wounded individual that likewise wields her power in harmful ways, This is just my perception, of course. This deck is a very hard no for me. But for people who view it differently, I am glad it works for them.
Hi!I just bought it cause I really needed to have it. I agree with your vision (and really love also the reading of Lisa, so insightful), and that is precisely why I bought it. I have had to work through childhood trauma from emotional neglet and abuse (nothing physical) and this has sometimes helped me open up other people situations (just talking) and I think this deck might really help me combine the knowledge I, unfortunately, had to gain in this regard and maybe bring it to others as well. I feel this deck really pulls on the things you said (despair, anxiety, abuse, received and consequently also inflicted, loneliness, etc...) and does so in a very dry way. It does not romanticise them, it does not make them softer, or prettier. Shit is shit and has to be seen for what it is to learn from it. It allows to see the bad we received, how that then lead to us lacking in our behaviours, so we can both see how we have been hurt and therefore develop compassion towards ourselves, while still taking responsability for our own action and growth, becoming free and being better. I feel these images really help entering this space, opening up beliefs and patterns and working through them. Said so, if I wouldn't see this deck from this perspective, I would feel extremely uncomfortable as well, so I totally get your point of view as well =)
@@PuolikuuIrene so glad you commented this! I see where you’re coming from. Wouldn’t be surprised if I picked this deck up again in 3 or 5 years and felt able to handle it then. Thanks for giving me a different perspective to think over
Thank you! Such a great, insightful video. Renewed enthusiasm for my Ceccoli decks now, always loved them but some of the images I just couldn't correlate to the tarot archetypes. Your ideas here have really helped me see a different perspective. Going to have to get them out again today and have another look ♡
I loved hearing your take on both these decks! I enjoy the artwork of this tarot deck but never really got it but seeing you split the deck out with each suit and your explanations of the different cards really helped me understand the connections to RWS. Had no idea there was an oracle, that is definitely going on my want list now.
Yeah this deck would be hard for me to read but I love the oddly artwork and eventually want to be able to read it. I guess you can say I am a beginner as I only been reading tarot or about 1 year
Love this! Your walkthroughs are always so helpful. I loved Nicoletta's artwork long before I discovered this deck, and my impressions of it were - love the art, now put the deck away on the shelf because as far as tarot goes it don't make sense. I think you're right in this is not a deck for tarot beginners. I have discovered a number of decks I initially had trouble with, I now find easier to approach by 'making the art fit the system'. I'm enjoying, now that I know the system better, deep diving into decks and looking at the label first and my old associations with the card, then reconsidering how this art might relate to that or open up new areas in that realm. Decks I had once dismissed are now becoming more thoughtfully valuable to my studies. Thanks again! It's now time for me to spend time with this deck once again in private study.(I don't have the oracle).
I puchased this deck just for fun and it has, rather unexpectedly, turned into one of my most reliable reading decks. Also, certain types of spirits prefers communicating through this deck, which is rather interesting.
No.... I haven't done a video like that, largely because I think that's a topic that has to be approached very carefully and I'm not sure I'm quite qualified. I have spoken at length about working with my own 'stuff' (this deck definitely pokes at my trigers/traumas) with decks though (without getting into specifics of course).
Thank you so much for this walkthrough! ❤️ I loved how you went through each of the major arcana then broke down each suit into 4 piles. That somehow made it make sense. I don't see myself buying this one for now, because I still feel like I am perfecting my knowledge of the RWS with more traditional symbolism. Your videos are always top notch in my book! ❤️👍
Ive had this tarot deck for a couple years now and never quite got the meanings down for myself completely because like you said from first glance it’s not that clear, but I always felt some sort of weird connection to it ;so much so that I never thought of rehoming it. And now you’ve re-piqued my interest in it and gave me a while fresh perspective on it that I’m running back to it to give it another shot 😅🤍 thanks for the video ✌🏻
Watching this s in May 2024, having heard that this deck is to be discontinued, I wonder why, as it seems to be so popular. But thu this news has set me wondering whether to buy it before it goes out if print. I loved the video so thankyou! I note another comment here very honestly expressing the view that s/he can’t see the innocent aspects that you describe and I tend to agree.I see darkness, despair and looming threat throughout.. with the ‘candy world’ just emphasising this more. Awesome artwork notwithstanding I’m not too sure about it for myself. I usually like a bit of darkness, don’t get me wrong.. but these images scream of needing help...and urgently. Maybe that’s the point? Thankyou again for your thoughtful ideas.
Hi! Just found your channel and I’ve been going through a lot of older videos. I purchased the Ceccoli Tarot because her artwork reminds me so much of Mark Ryden’s artwork. I’ve been hoping that he would design a deck in the future, unless he has already. I’ve tried researching, but it doesn’t seem like he has yet. Thank you for your videos and information.
Thank you for this! Such amazing insights into these decks. I do like and have and work with both for personal readings. I get a lot of intuitive information from both decks, though I still use the guidebooks as well.
If you're freaked out by scary toys Word... Love how you get along with this deck Lisa! PS your 10 Swords interpretation omg PPS a heart lollipop that says hate me... 🤔🤔🤔
I bought this deck 3 years ago. I love the artwork and I thought it suitable for beginner, unfortunately when I received the deck spend sometime with the deck but it didn’t work out. Until recently, I pick up the deck again found out it’s a interesting deck and so much information.
So many things I've wanted to say, but didn't quite know how. Love this! Someday maybe I'll ramble through my ideas, too. Thanks for sharing! (And yes, love Veronica Jude's videos related to Ceccoli...I just always tell people to go watch them 😅). Again, very well done. Thank you!
I love both of these decks, and I appreciate your insights to further open up my own intuitive impressions. I doubt I would ever use this deck to read for anyone other than myself: It's too intimate... but reading for myself, yeah, that can be, and has been, useful. Thanks for your enthusiasm and your key words idea. I love the idea of using a pink metallic marker!
The 2 of Pentacles I associate the juggling of food & toys to mean trying to find that happy, healthy balance between food materials which we all need and also toy materials which we don’t need but enrich our lives with wonderful hobbies. This is an extension from 2 of Swords balancing on the tightrope thinking we need to pick a side when we don’t have to. The 2 of pentacles we no longer need to actually pick but we do have to figure out the best & most beneficial way for us to juggle these materials. I can go even deeper by going to the 2 of clubs in which theres a mirror between for instance myself thinking I have to pick a side (being a super successful boss career woman who works and doesn’t make time for play or spend way less time on work which lends itself to more free time maybe investing more into family, friends, relationships, self love. The 2 of cups hugging essentially our other self shows to me we can absolutely not limit ourselves to one or the other. Life’s about balancing and juggling, we have responsibilities that we must tend to but we also need things that feed our mind, body, spirit and soul. It doesn’t even have to be material possessions. That’s how I read those, I’m a beginner and so I do not have the knowledge of what every card does stand for, this is just me intuitively connecting with these beautiful cards. Lol. Sorry for commenting a bit, last one for this video-maybeeee. 🥸
Super interesting! The artwork hits me right in the gut. It's beautiful, but dark at the same time. Some of those images are very triggering, so I'm not sure if I could handle working with them right now. After more inner work I might do better. Fascinating and gorgeous artwork regardless! Thank you for sharing both decks!
Sometimes - with certain types of triggers - it's just a no go. I've certainly had that happen before.... so glad you could tour through them a bit at a distance! This one can definitely be intense.
I had the same view as you on this. It was a really deep shadow deck for me, and i found it VERY helpfull and great with the inner child. However i ended up rehoming it because i got to a point where all the images somehow gave me the same message. And i put it on pause for a while but when i brought it out it still happened. It was like my mond got trapped in that one thing. But i love this deck, love the lil dolls and the aesthetic!
Thank you so much Lisa for sharing your vision of these decks! I have found a lot for myself to think of. Your deep dive videos are such a gift!! BTW, I read that on the oracle card number 27 the cake is called something like "breasts of Saint Agatha", who was a martyr, whose breasts were cut off because she didn't want to abandon her faith.
Honestly you talking about these decks has really made me reconsider getting them. But I don’t think I’d be able to leave the Pinocchio card in the deck if I did. It’s apparently a trigger for me. Who knew. Thanks for showing the decks.
I got the deck as my second deck and I love i wish there was more explanation to what the art means within the tiny guide book but God it's beautiful and such a nice deck to use
I have had this on my wishlist for some time now, and now I want it even more! And the keywords.. They where spot on! I have no words good enough to express what this makes me feel.. 😅 The art is beautiful, hits hard and soft, and could absolutly be triggering, even more so because she looks like such a young girl.. This just really makes me feel a whole lot! 🥲 The only thing missing is the names om the major arcana as I don't know them by number, and I would like it to be keywords on the oracle deck, more specifically your key words! 🙈 They where just so amazingly good!
We used these for my Unicorn Fam readings and it was so incredibly powerful and I loved hearing your thoughts on the cards, we read them much the same!
This deck is very troubling. I have this deck but it's a shit bomb and kinda good at the same time. Needs to be interpreted by each individual. This is a dark deck regardless of the definitions from the guidebook. This deck is dark and should come with a warning if you have had childhood trauma. A guidebook could be created centered around the experience of children that is more of a fairytale warning. This is a deck of how children are abused and how the abused children cope. This is in no way a regular tarot deck with the RWS meanings, that's why it's so hard to interpret.
I can’t watch the video because her decks are what I feel my nightmares/childhood are made of. Dark sickly sweet stuff. But I love that it’s there for people.
I love this deck! ♡ so haunting yet enchanting. I enjoyed hearing ur thoughts about it :) It's a bit tricky to interpret each card but u worded it so beautifully. Tho i think u got the Strength & Justice cards mixed up ¿ oof
I am so enamored with this tarot so picked up the Oracle which I love and compared my keywords with yours and they were so alike must be the Lunnea parts… I did add the delicious and malicious to card # 5 as I just had gossip I thought that was brilliant!!! The only card that took me awhile to accept was #14 and it still makes me uncomfortable but I have put it back in the deck…that’s a start! Thanks for your thoughts I really enjoyed!!♥️
yep that's a tough card - I appreciate it precisely because it helps me look at just how invasive and how uncomfortable it is when boundaries aren't acknowledged or respected (and how important it is to have them!)... but yeah.. that one I could see being an absolute stop sign for lots of folks.
Brilliant! I love the tarot, but I agree the Oracle has some really dark themes, so much so that I struggle to attach positive aspects of the card, I definitely has stolen your keywords, for that boundaries card.
In the oracle deck when you mentioned the keywords, the second you said "toxicity" my mind went "the dose determines the poison". Which is just such a powerful message, because truly if things heal or harm is determined by the dose. I loved the artwork and idea of these decks, but I always kind of just brushed them aside thinking they were going to be more just pretty curated art decks that aren't that great to use. Until I heard you talk about them. They're now on my to buy list. I know completely what you mean by they speak to some part of you that you can't describe.
I always feel conflicted by her decks - beautiful artwork BUT such an energy of being trapped and alone... there are never 2 or more separate "human" figures interacting or supporting each other. I can't imagine it being a healing deck for that reason🤷♀
There are so many tarot and oracle themes. Celtic, Modern, Dark, Earthy , Fantasy , Inner child ,etc. And Ceccoli decks have a whole theme by themselves. And like every theme you either love them or hate them at first, but seeing them more and more you get intrigued as you did. And as you did the more you look and research you understand how the art resonates. Just like another deck you really bond that connects with a different part of your soul. So you are surprised at the outcome. Just as you get a deck that looks just exactly you and then you get it and there is not connection. Your keywords for the oracle deck are wonderful. You need to make your own deck.!
I took off the borders and read it as an intuitive tarot for shadow and inner child work. I’ve modded 4 tarot decks getting to that. Still have an unopened deck. 🖤 I only took the borders off the Oracle. I found a copy of Beautiful Nightmares. I can’t get enough of this art. I had to look too hard to see the book meanings. I even made an entire journal trying to. This art is far too personal to me to ever try to read for someone else with it.
Judging by your taste in decks it seems that perhaps you seek out the unicorns and sweetness to escape some darker aspects of your life. Ceccoli provides a seemingly sweet world that addresses harsher realities on some level. It makes sense that people connect with it as a way to gently gain self-awareness. I think it's a wonderful deck, probably the only 'sweet' deck I like, unlike those big-eyed girl decks with no underlying intensity which are like Snow White without the evil stepmother, which, duh, makes the story work. Thanks for some very wonderful insights.
I use my harsher decks so much more than I use my lighter/fluffier decks, actually! In fact, I go to Tarot for a much needed butt kicking more than for any other purpose LOL.
Thanks for the kind words about the LWBs, Lisa! Great choices of keywords for the oracle cards. One of the words I used for Nicoletta's art on the cards is bittersweet -- not in a sappy nostalgic sense, but quite literally, like ultra-dark chocolate that is almost unpleasant to eat, and yet.... and yet .... there's a heady rush from it as well. The dark side can be quite compelling. As I mentioned on one of your other videos, I don't see these characters as little girls but rather as dolls.

Bittersweet - YES.. totally! Thank you for watching, Lunea!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This deck wasn't making the most sense to me ... you have just unlocked it. I will be rewatch, multiple times I'm sure, to really bring it home. Gratitude.
You're so welcome!

Absolutely yes to pulling back the veil and looking at the truth!
what a freaking amazing deck!!! I love how authors are able to take an age old concept and reinterpret it into a new kind of magick!
Thank you for sharing your insight about this lovely deck. I love it when things don’t make sense because this work is supposed to access the power of our intuition beyond the superficial decks out there. ❤

You are so welcome!!!
Thanks Lisa!! They are so exquisite!!! Where did you get your table cover from. X ☺️
This by far the best introduction to these decks I have seen 🎉
Such powerful art! I am very drawn to both of these decks!
Lisa, I have to say, this is one of your best videos to-date. I enjoy this deck, but I loved seeing your passion here. Thank you 🙏
I love the artwork. I think if I had just seen the deck without your walkthrough I wouldn't have looked at it. Your explanations made it make sense.

I really love the keywords you choose for the Oracle. Great insights!
I own the tarot deck and honestly is my favorite deck of all time. It's very different but absolutely spot on for me.

Succh a great interpretation Lisa, watched the whole thing and i love this deck too!
I appreciate seeing these from your point of view. Makes them much more understandable to me.
This was a great presentation!

You're so welcome - and thank YOU! 🙏🙏🙏
If you're freaked out by scary toys
Word...
Love how you get along with this deck Lisa!
PS your 10 Swords interpretation omg
PPS a heart lollipop that says hate me... 🤔🤔🤔
I bought this deck 3 years ago. I love the artwork and I thought it suitable for beginner, unfortunately when I received the deck spend sometime with the deck but it didn’t work out. Until recently, I pick up the deck again found out it’s a interesting deck and so much information.
So many things I've wanted to say, but didn't quite know how. Love this! Someday maybe I'll ramble through my ideas, too. Thanks for sharing! (And yes, love Veronica Jude's videos related to Ceccoli...I just always tell people to go watch them 😅). Again, very well done. Thank you!
I love both of these decks, and I appreciate your insights to further open up my own intuitive impressions. I doubt I would ever use this deck to read for anyone other than myself: It's too intimate... but reading for myself, yeah, that can be, and has been, useful. Thanks for your enthusiasm and your key words idea. I love the idea of using a pink metallic marker!
The 2 of Pentacles I associate the juggling of food & toys to mean trying to find that happy, healthy balance between food materials which we all need and also toy materials which we don’t need but enrich our lives with wonderful hobbies. This is an extension from 2 of Swords balancing on the tightrope thinking we need to pick a side when we don’t have to. The 2 of pentacles we no longer need to actually pick but we do have to figure out the best & most beneficial way for us to juggle these materials. I can go even deeper by going to the 2 of clubs in which theres a mirror between for instance myself thinking I have to pick a side (being a super successful boss career woman who works and doesn’t make time for play or spend way less time on work which lends itself to more free time maybe investing more into family, friends, relationships, self love. The 2 of cups hugging essentially our other self shows to me we can absolutely not limit ourselves to one or the other. Life’s about balancing and juggling, we have responsibilities that we must tend to but we also need things that feed our mind, body, spirit and soul. It doesn’t even have to be material possessions.
That’s how I read those, I’m a beginner and so I do not have the knowledge of what every card does stand for, this is just me intuitively connecting with these beautiful cards. Lol. Sorry for commenting a bit, last one for this video-maybeeee. 🥸
Super interesting! The artwork hits me right in the gut. It's beautiful, but dark at the same time. Some of those images are very triggering, so I'm not sure if I could handle working with them right now. After more inner work I might do better. Fascinating and gorgeous artwork regardless! Thank you for sharing both decks!
Sometimes - with certain types of triggers - it's just a no go. I've certainly had that happen before.... so glad you could tour through them a bit at a distance! This one can definitely be intense.
I had the same view as you on this. It was a really deep shadow deck for me, and i found it VERY helpfull and great with the inner child. However i ended up rehoming it because i got to a point where all the images somehow gave me the same message. And i put it on pause for a while but when i brought it out it still happened. It was like my mond got trapped in that one thing. But i love this deck, love the lil dolls and the aesthetic!
Thank you so much for this vid! It was incredible!!❤️🙏🏽😀
I don't see the link to the interview with the artist you mentioned you would link for Ceccoli.
Thank you so much Lisa for sharing your vision of these decks! I have found a lot for myself to think of. Your deep dive videos are such a gift!! BTW, I read that on the oracle card number 27 the cake is called something like "breasts of Saint Agatha", who was a martyr, whose breasts were cut off because she didn't want to abandon her faith.
I bought it two weeks ago; a Lisa made me do it, even if the deck is out for so long. I was hoping for that video😁
Honestly you talking about these decks has really made me reconsider getting them. But I don’t think I’d be able to leave the Pinocchio card in the deck if I did. It’s apparently a trigger for me. Who knew. Thanks for showing the decks.
Great for Shadow Work ☺️
I got the deck as my second deck and I love i wish there was more explanation to what the art means within the tiny guide book but God it's beautiful and such a nice deck to use
I've had a similar experience with the Tarot de el Dios de los Tres deck.
I have had this on my wishlist for some time now, and now I want it even more! And the keywords.. They where spot on! I have no words good enough to express what this makes me feel.. 😅 The art is beautiful, hits hard and soft, and could absolutly be triggering, even more so because she looks like such a young girl.. This just really makes me feel a whole lot! 🥲 The only thing missing is the names om the major arcana as I don't know them by number, and I would like it to be keywords on the oracle deck, more specifically your key words! 🙈 They where just so amazingly good!
great video! can u please tell me which pink metallic marker did u use?
I love her tarot !! …not sure about her oracle….still have it but thinking about rehoming…..
We used these for my Unicorn Fam readings and it was so incredibly powerful and I loved hearing your thoughts on the cards, we read them much the same!
SO POWERFUL!
Where can i find the book? I lost my book
Please do some spreads with this tarot deck
This deck is very troubling. I have this deck but it's a shit bomb and kinda good at the same time. Needs to be interpreted by each individual. This is a dark deck regardless of the definitions from the guidebook. This deck is dark and should come with a warning if you have had childhood trauma. A guidebook could be created centered around the experience of children that is more of a fairytale warning. This is a deck of how children are abused and how the abused children cope. This is in no way a regular tarot deck with the RWS meanings, that's why it's so hard to interpret.
I can’t watch the video because her decks are what I feel my nightmares/childhood are made of. Dark sickly sweet stuff. But I love that it’s there for people.
I love this deck! ♡ so haunting yet enchanting. I enjoyed hearing ur thoughts about it :) It's a bit tricky to interpret each card but u worded it so beautifully. Tho i think u got the Strength & Justice cards mixed up ¿ oof
In this deck, Justice is 8 and Strength is 11
I am so enamored with this tarot so picked up the Oracle which I love and compared my keywords with yours and they were so alike must be the Lunnea parts… I did add the delicious and malicious to card # 5 as I just had gossip I thought that was brilliant!!! The only card that took me awhile to accept was #14 and it still makes me uncomfortable but I have put it back in the deck…that’s a start! Thanks for your thoughts I really enjoyed!!♥️
yep that's a tough card - I appreciate it precisely because it helps me look at just how invasive and how uncomfortable it is when boundaries aren't acknowledged or respected (and how important it is to have them!)... but yeah.. that one I could see being an absolute stop sign for lots of folks.
Brilliant! I love the tarot, but I agree the Oracle has some really dark themes, so much so that I struggle to attach positive aspects of the card, I definitely has stolen your keywords, for that boundaries card.
Have you tried to read the oracle predictive?
In the oracle deck when you mentioned the keywords, the second you said "toxicity" my mind went "the dose determines the poison". Which is just such a powerful message, because truly if things heal or harm is determined by the dose.
I loved the artwork and idea of these decks, but I always kind of just brushed them aside thinking they were going to be more just pretty curated art decks that aren't that great to use. Until I heard you talk about them. They're now on my to buy list. I know completely what you mean by they speak to some part of you that you can't describe.
YES the toxicity/dose reference is gold!
I always feel conflicted by her decks - beautiful artwork BUT such an energy of being trapped and alone... there are never 2 or more separate "human" figures interacting or supporting each other. I can't imagine it being a healing deck for that reason🤷♀
That makes sense! I have had that reaction to a deck before - so I get it!
There are so many tarot and oracle themes. Celtic, Modern, Dark, Earthy , Fantasy , Inner child ,etc. And Ceccoli decks have a whole theme by themselves. And like every theme you either love them or hate them at first, but seeing them more and more you get intrigued as you did. And as you did the more you look and research you understand how the art resonates. Just like another deck you really bond that connects with a different part of your soul. So you are surprised at the outcome. Just as you get a deck that looks just exactly you and then you get it and there is not connection. Your keywords for the oracle deck are wonderful. You need to make your own deck.!
I definitely intend to!! :)
@@Lisa_Papez I'm 67 yrs don't wait too long ! lol 💖💖💖
Why is this deck getting so expensive and hard to find right now?
I took off the borders and read it as an intuitive tarot for shadow and inner child work. I’ve modded 4 tarot decks getting to that. Still have an unopened deck. 🖤 I only took the borders off the Oracle. I found a copy of Beautiful Nightmares. I can’t get enough of this art. I had to look too hard to see the book meanings. I even made an entire journal trying to. This art is far too personal to me to ever try to read for someone else with it.
Judging by your taste in decks it seems that perhaps you seek out the unicorns and sweetness to escape some darker aspects of your life. Ceccoli provides a seemingly sweet world that addresses harsher realities on some level. It makes sense that people connect with it as a way to gently gain self-awareness. I think it's a wonderful deck, probably the only 'sweet' deck I like, unlike those big-eyed girl decks with no underlying intensity which are like Snow White without the evil stepmother, which, duh, makes the story work. Thanks for some very wonderful insights.
I use my harsher decks so much more than I use my lighter/fluffier decks, actually! In fact, I go to Tarot for a much needed butt kicking more than for any other purpose LOL.
👍
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Beautiful deck, but those those who likes diversity not a good choice and lack of male characters
Then don’t buy them then!
