Being able to ripple/riffle shuffle is one of my big things with a deck. I really wish tarot decks were a bit smaller (small hands here) and used softer matte cardstock more often. And before someone yells about longevity I'm still playing solitaire with a deck of cheap playing cards from the 80s, a tarot deck gets treated way more gently and used less, trust me they'd be FINE.
Your comments about finding that you have finally begun to resonate with particular decks was really helpful for me. I just purchased a deck and I was having a visceral negative response to some imagery, but at first glance, the accompanying book helped me not package it back up and send it back immediately! Your thoughts have encouraged me to spend a concentrated amount of time with it before making any hard and fast decisions and I'm excited to see what this challenging deck might do for me and my practice! Thank you! 😊
I am so glad you found it helpful! Sometimes it takes some time for me to click with a deck. They are like people, sometimes we have to get to know them a bit first. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I absolutely love both decks from Kim Krans. The wild unknown tarot and the Animal Spirit oracle were staples all year for me. As well as the earthbound oracle!
The Witches Witches Tarot is one of my favourite decks. I trimmed the titles off and wrote the titles on because I'm not keen on large decksand edged it in yellow. I'd love a pocket version of it
I have Lucy Cavendish/Jasmine Beckett-Griffith Alice in Wonderland and Fairytale Oracle Decks and love them. I also wasn't sure about the artwork, but have found they are wonderful.
There are a few decks here that I've been really tempted to get! I have the Ad Orbita which I think is very beautiful but I am planning to rehome soon as it is too minimalist for me to get along with and I also have Les Vampires which I plan to work with over the next few months. I got A LOT of new decks this year (pandemic comfort purchasing anyone?) and I'm going to spend the first part of the new year really getting to know them, edging a few decks, doing some deck interviews and reading guidebooks x I really enjoyed hearing about your surprising decks of 2021! Xxx wishing you a contented and healthy 2022 ✨💗
I am so glad you enjoyed it! I totally pandemic comfort purchased too, now I have lots of new decks to get to know this year. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
So many wonderful decks here, plus it was really fun seeing/hearing a recap of what you worked with each month for the year! That was a neat way to look back on the year, for sure!
It was so much fun to do and one of the best things about keeping my tarot journal. I think I'm going to do this every year! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
The Forhaxa second printing is available now for shipping late January. Squeeee! I just ordered it for birthday present to myself ♥️ Been waiting for it!
I love the Les Vampire Deck, and always have good readings with it and also use it during other seasons and different times of the year. That's the thing I love about Les Vampire and Oracle of Light and Shadow also by Lucy Cavedish and Jasmine Beckett- Griffith, you can use them any time of the year. Enjoyed this video of new decks of 2021. Thank You and have a Happy New Year!!!
I'm so glad you got the Northern Animal Tarot, there is something so special about that deck. I really enjoyed this video and might have to do a VR to this.
I’d love to see an in depth of the Ostara and Forhaxa! I feel like not much is said about the Ostara and, like you, I’m really on the fence about the Forhaxa. Love your videos and your takes on all these decks!
I love the Witches Wisdom Tarot but hardly ever pick it up because it's so big and I have small hands which makes it so difficult. I love the idea of trimming it into an oracle!
Hearing you describe the 10 of swords in the Ostara deck absolutely clicked and made sense for me. I literally have the guidebook in my lap as I'm watching this (synchronicity has been constant of late.) Do you happen to have a playlist or any suggestions for any that explain each card (in general, it doesn't have to be the Ostara, that's just the one I'm focusing on today.) I started my tarot journey several years ago, tried taking in WAY too much information at once (numerology, astrology, Hebrew alphabet, kabbalah, etc...) and didn't learn a thing. Haha! Nothing stuck because I wasn't focused on one thing. I only just started learning again in a COMPLETELY different way last month. I started with focusing on intuition first, then book meanings. It definitely helped. It's starting to FINALLY make some sense, but there are definitely some that I still could use a fresh take on, so if that's something that you've already done, or if not, then have a suggestion of someone who has that also has similar views as you, I would LOVE the opportunity to learn more, thanks. ❤️
Lisa Papez has a wonderful Tarot with Training Wheels series on her channel that you might want to check out. I have my own "How I Read Tarot" series coming out in just a few months! :)
Such beautiful decks you worked with this year. I love that you keep track from month to month. I really did start late in this year journaling again, but hopefully next years tarot journal will help me keep better track. Happy New Year sweet lady. 💜
It's so cool to look back at your journals and see how your tarot practice has evolved throughout the year. Whenever you feel like you aren't getting anywhere, you can just look back at your journals and see all the growth. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Wonderful choices here! I love the Ostara Tarot, I wish it would get a revival of sorts. I’m so on the fence with the Mermaid Tarot, I thought the same thing about it being the “Little Mermaid” deck so it’s interesting to hear about the depth it has. I’ve also been looking into JBG decks, I’m not sure if I’ll end up getting any but this Les Vampire one looks really cool!
Forhaxa is def my favorite, love working with it, reads great 💖 I really thought I'd prefer to have a women only deck, but it turns out I'd struggle a little bit with the court cards all being female
I love what you did with the Northern Animal Tarot! Trimming the corners looks so nice, and the color that you edged it is beautiful! Can you please share what you used to edge the deck?
Oh I didn't know there was too. Mine are all the brush markers. I try to stay away from the alcohol ones as they give me migraines. I hope that helps! ❤️
Great decks! I put the Ostara Tarot on my wishlist. The Forhaxa is sold out, but I will definitely get it if more come in. One of my favorites for the year is The Tarot of Mystical Moments. My surprise fave is The Moonchild Tarot. I think that deck chose me.
Oh boy, we so agree on the Mermaid Tarot that now I'm reconsidering the Ink Witch X;D Thank you for sharing, this was really interesting! Happiest new year possible! ♥
Loved this format. You've inspired me to try to track the decks I use by month to do a similar round up next year. I think the most memorable decks for me this year were oracle: Through the Eyes of the Soul and Goddess Love, both the ones i got in Glastonbury and used for 4 months straight. I've still to film my top decks of 2021 though!
How wonderful, I would love to see all your memorable decks for a year. I'm still thinking on Through the eyes of the souls, but every time I hear you talk about it, it moves further up my list. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Okay so I can’t tell u my whole like tarot vibe or like my journey or anything, so it’s like hard to tell u how much I get you & connect w/you. I’ve got some of my absolute favorites cuz of u…now this list is cracking me up! Everything u said about Northern Animal tarot is exactly my feels too! I’m honestly not sure I want the 2nd edition. It’s changed quite a bit & I love the cards stock now…smell reminds me of my grade school crayons & crayon boxes…Now to the reason for this tangent! See! I wish I could tell u more lol! But I don’t want to bomb u with an essay. Okay get my ADHD in check… I have been wanting the F word deck(I have to delete all this to check how to spell it lol!) but also the Ink Witch very much. I trust your opinion on this…I want to stop buying for a while. I was gifted being able to buy one for Xmas & I can’t decide. If u could only get one of the 2 & risk possibly not being able to get the other which would you choose? Ugh I hate Indie deck stress! I hope u don’t mind I just busted this out on you! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Let’s do this 2022…I feel it’s gonna be a beautiful year for us!
Oh that's a tough one... The Forhaxa (I'm guessing that's the one you're talking about) I think is a bit deeper and has a bit more complexity to it. The Ink Witch I would consider more of everyday reader, it's solid and reliable. So I think it depends on if you are looking for a deck to go deep with or one to use as a solid everyday-type reader. Not sure if that's helpful or not. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I enjoyed this video a lot. I am not sure if you talked about your monthly practice but it fascinates me that you work with multiple decks a month .. I’d like to know more :) The mermaid tarot caught my eyes the moment I saw it .. The hanged man was very interesting but then we saw some more cards and I knew it was cleverly made. Glad to hear you enjoyed it The ink witch tarot is a big question mark in my shopping cart. I might regret not ordering it but yea .. it’s gorgeous The healing wave is a deck I missed and I feel sad I missed it but I am waiting for the ocean tarot reviews .. I always heard good things about lucy and Jasmine’s decks because I know Owlmoon (Telula) and she swears by these decks .. however, I don’t like the art and I kept away because of that. What made you pick the one you did? Also .. I backed the Northern animal tarot so I am so excited to receive it. It reminds me of all the storybooks I owned growing up .. I bought it for that reason. It’s my first Kickstarter since 2019 .. and I can’t wait to work with it
I think I have a playlist with some videos about my practice that you might find interesting. I ended up choosing the JBG deck I did because I watched many walkthroughs on all of them them and the Vampire one have the most cards that I liked. But I am considering picking up another one because this one so surprised me. Sometimes I find decks that aren't usually my style end up working really well for me. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Yay just orderd the Forhaxa!!..hey hun what did you use to edge the Forhaxa and the Northern Animal Decks? Cheers and blessings of the New Year to you! 🥰
I believe this one is going mass market, but I'm not sure a release date has been set yet. You can check the creators website, there might be more details there. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I love the northen Animal tarot - I just Cant handle it. The size combined with the thin cardstock makes me scared Ill ruin it. Also something about the way it smells puts me off. I hope there’ll be a smaller version at some point.
I know what you mean about the smell, I set mine put for a few days and let it air out when it arrived. It helped ease the ink/printing smell. So far mine is holding up really well. A smaller version would be awesome! I'd buy that for sure. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
Witches wisdom is so beautiful! I understand how you would see it as an Oracle deck.
Being able to ripple/riffle shuffle is one of my big things with a deck. I really wish tarot decks were a bit smaller (small hands here) and used softer matte cardstock more often. And before someone yells about longevity I'm still playing solitaire with a deck of cheap playing cards from the 80s, a tarot deck gets treated way more gently and used less, trust me they'd be FINE.
Hehe I would be totally on board for that too! 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

Been talking myself out of the Forhaxa tarot for a bit now since I don’t work with the Magical Mafia. But I’m thinking I need to try it now. 🤣
Love the edging you did on the Forhaxa. Almost bought that one. Love the colors.
The Witches Witches Tarot is one of my favourite decks. I trimmed the titles off and wrote the titles on because I'm not keen on large decksand edged it in yellow. I'd love a pocket version of it
That's a great idea, I might end up trimming mine too. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️

I've considered picking up some of the other ones too because this one read so well for me. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I agree I like the wording. Yes sometimes animal decks can be tough to read
I do find then a challenge at times, but I am enjoying working with them more. 🙂 Thank you for watching. ❤️
I'm so honored to see Ink Witch in this video! I'm glad you ended up loving it!
It's a fantastic deck, I always recommend it to people. You created something really wonderful. ❤️
