    Today I wanted to sort through my tarot, oracle and Lenormand cards, organising them and seeing if there are any patterns to my favourite decks. Some decks in my collection are sentimental, others are haunted and one is perhaps even malicious (some may say cursed). Hopefully, this is an enjoyable video and maybe you find patterns in the decks you like as well which may help with your own tarot purchases.

    I have had two tarot decks that I was only meant to have for a little while. I can’t remember what they were called but one of them was based on Egyptology and the other was inspired by zombies.
    I was doing a reading for a friend who has very skeptical about anything metaphysical but was very interested in Egyptology. I was very drawn to the deck when I purchased it, but didn’t really have very accurate readings for myself. When reading for my friend, everything made perfect sense. I ended up giving the deck to the friend because it was clear to me that the deck was meant for them. I think somehow the deck knew that I was a vehicle to get to their chosen owner.
    With the zombie deck, a similar thing happened. I was very drawn to them, purchased them, and a few months later started dating a new boyfriend. He wasn’t a skeptic. He was SUPER in to zombies. I immediately knew that the zombie deck was meant to be his.
    Maybe I’m a tarot deck matchmaker✨

    My Rider Waite deck was my first deck, I purchased it in 1968 using my earnings from babysitting, It is a deck that still calls to me and I always enjoy using it, the box was lost many many years ago so it is wrapped in a silk square and lives in its own carved wooden box

    My father bought me this Beautiful deck called ⭐Ethereal Visions, by Matt Hughes⭐he ended up getting in touch with the artist and was able to get me a deck when it was pretty well sold out, and then my mother and father ended up getting me the wild unknown deck for Christmas!! I love them both vary much! I'm just timid in their use.. Thank you for showing us your decks!! It was an honor to see what worked well for you!!

    🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫💫 The RW tarot is in my top five, if not my favorite. I also love the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot. For me, it shuffles like a dream and gives accurate readings, plus the art is gorgeous. Tarot of Dreams is another favorite. It's not a style of art that I would typically like, but Ciro Marchetti has grown on me! The Crow Tarot by MJ Cullinane I absolutely love, but it can be a little hard to shuffle since the cards are a bit thick - it's a gorgeous deck, though! And I do love the Morgan Greer deck, partly for sentimental reasons, but I also like how "in your face" the art is. That's just tarot, lol. I'm still deciding how I feel about my oracle decks, as I don't spend as much time with them. 😊

    • @denisewhite1426

It is my go to oracle for every oracle reading or when I draw a card 😊😊 I hope your having a nice day 😊😊 I love your content 😊😊

    it took a while until I was able to watch this long video of yours
    I really enjoyed it and was surprised that you literally have none of my decks ^^ - also, I got a Lenormand deck as a present - it's called Gilded Reverie Lenormand - and the feeling best described with these is "at home" I feel like a lot of the imagery would be something taken straight out of my inner self - so for me it's the combination of Lenormand as well as the illustrations that make it my personal favourite and easiest deck to work with. I really love that you took us through so many decks of yours
    ⭐🌟⭐⭐ personally, I think I should get the kitchen witch one you showed.

    ⭐️ This was endlessly fascinating to me! I love tarot tube videos and getting insights into what calls to other witches, pagans and readers. I also love that RWS is your top pick. I agree it’s a classic for a reason, and I am not as precious with it as I am my more rare or less replaceable decks. Great list, Hearth! 💜⭐️

    ✨⭐️🌟💫 loved this video Hearth! I only have a couple of decks as I waited a long time to get a deck as as a young practitioner £15 was a lot of money for me to spend on a magickal tool so I ended up making my own deck based around the raider Waite deck when I was around 13 even though I couldn’t draw and it always gave me very accurate readings! Then I received the harmony nice tarot for Christmas a few years back which I find hard to use as I forget which season is which because different flowers represent different seasons 😂 recently I purchased sea soul journeys which I love as it connects me to the water element and keeps me calm. The original raider Waite is going on my Christmas list this year though! I’ve always wanted to work with it!

    Thank you for sharing about your deck collection!! The only one I have from this is the Animal Spirit Oracle deck by Kim Krans, which is a beloved deck and was my second Oracle one. When you showed the box for your favorite one, I thought you were going to show the Animal Familiars tarot deck as the bunny from that illustration on the box is The Moon card from that deck (one of my most-used tarot decks).

    Greetings from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA. My absolutely favorite deck is The Witches Tarot by Ellen Dugan. 💜 I have a couple of other tarot decks, and many oracle decks, but this is the deck I'm most drawn to and have had consistent results with in readings for myself and others. The artwork and symbolism are great and the book is very thorough, but easy to read. Working with this deck is like visiting with a dear friend 🥰

I really need to sell some so they can be loved and used, as you’re so right, they do unfortunately mostly sit on a shelf when they’re not really calling to you and it’s such a shame, that game of thrones deck is amazing too! I really hope they’re setting up to sell those, that talent needs to be seen and appreciated 🥰❤️❤️❤️xxx

  • @jonathangauthier3549
    @jonathangauthier3549 8 місяців тому

    ❤I've just recently become interested in tarot and oracle cards, and was drawn to the Maia Toll series of decks for their breathtaking artwork (I'm a sucker for metallic foiling, cute animals, plants and crystals), so I felt like they were designed just for me. However, I have the same problem that you've mentioned a few times, where the cards aren't accurate enough to read for me but are eerily spot-on for readings of other people.
    I got the Herbiary set first, as I fell madly in love with the artwork and general vibes, then the crystallary one because I'd like to eventually get all 3 in the set. The bestiary one was not available in my local shop at the time.
    My most recent purchase was that of the Guardians of the Night full tarot (major and minor arcana). Much like the Maia Toll sets, I was drawn by the amazing artwork, but I've yet to click with the deck.
    I've done a few readings, and they seemed rather vague or confused. Maybe it's a question of time and practice, or user error (as I am only starting to learn how to read tarots), but I have a nagging suspicion that I might be looking for a replacement deck very soon😢. I'm very saddened by this feeling, as I love how their creator, M.J. Cullinane really put themselves into their creation; telling us as the reader about being inspired by events of the COVID-19 lockdowns and how it changed their plans and lifestyle.
    Maybe you might come across this deck and showcase in a future video. Perhaps we'll be of the same mind, or it will be in your new top 10? So far it's my only deck, and like a mismatched blind date, I'm making the best of the situation and hoping that it's just my own insecurities and inexperience that are causing tensions

    I never had the Camelot Oracle, but the artist, Will Worthington, is my favorite card deck artist. John Matthews, the deck creator, tends to put out decks with complicated systems, which don't appeal to me personally, even if the cards are visually appealing. Will Worthington did the art for the Druidcraft Tarot, which I love, just a straight tarot deck, no weirdness.

    • @denisewhite1426

They are among my most beautiful decks! I use them together as one deck. I also use them a lot on my Sabbat altars.

    My absolute favorite deck is "everyday witch " by Deborah Blake. It's so encouraging, I'll be trying to figure out what it's saying, and the strength card will jump out. Beautiful powerful energy and imagery. The deck for me doesn't operate traditional and tells me how I need to lay the cards, it's kind of amazing actually.

    I strongly believe that decks are sometimes inhabited by entities, which I treasure. I have one deck which gives me not very kind vibes, the Enchanted Tarot, it's a weird tarot with problematic images and to it belongs the only Death card that gives me very unsettling, very uncomfortable vibes. I have the same question you have, is it this particular deck or all the printed out units the same? I think it is only this one singular deck although I also feel that the energy given off by certain decks is pretty universal: yes, the Enchanted Tarot is awesome, beautiful, gentle and accurate!
    Thanks for sharing!
    PS. My favourite decks are too many, it depends on the mood I'm in or the urgency of the question, I recommend The Shadowland Tarot, by Monica Bodirsky if you love Halloween and you love the Enchanted Forest ;-)

    the triple deck that you have that is no logner being printed is highly charged and extremely deep it moves as I view the cards. I paused the video and looked at a couple of them and yep they move and they describe different outlooks based off of what one might decide to do next ... when those decks are done correctly that is what they do when you read them. You have to use the sight aka soften your gaze and allow the image to speak to you... I have a hard time turning off when I pull out of the card just becasue my eyes want to naturally see the world that way but It makes me have vertigo so its not safe and I do have to readjust but yeah that is what those cards do incase you didnt already know that.

  • @lostingothicmusic
    @lostingothicmusic Рік тому

    Ok - so first off : 🌟! Secondly, I have 3 of the decks that you showed - the Goddess of the Moon oracle, which I pull a card from for each Full Moon and use as an altar card for the moon-th, the Work you Light Oracle, which I pair with my Moonchild Tarot (also by Danielle Noel), again on a Full Moon-thly basis and also the Forest Fae Oracle. [FYI the artist for that has a bee-based tarot coming out in 2024].
    Lastly, my favourite decks are very different to yours we like different vibes in our cards, which is cool, I love seeing other's collections -
    The Terra Volatile Tarot, The Pagan Otherworlds Tarot, The Tyldwick Tarot, The Mythic Tarot- OG Printing not the reprint, The Bohemian Gothic Tarot, The Green Witch Tarot, The Moonchild Tarot, The Tarot of Mystic Moments, The Oracle of Mystic Moments, The Season of the Witch Oracles - which I think you would love! They have done Samhain, Yule, Beltane and Mabon so far, with Imbolc due out soon - The Witches Wisdom Tarot, The Textured Tarot and the Hellenic Oracle.
    I have others I love too, but as I have a collection of about 85 decks right now, I won't go any further! I have about 4 Lenormand decks but I don't read with them yet as 'lenormand' more as an oracle pairing to a tarot. It's more of an intuitive thing. I have the Wizard's Lair Lenormand (same creator as Tyldwick), The Lunatic Lenormand (very gothic), The Siren's Song Lenormand and the Madame Mina's Oracle, which reads more like a lenormand but doesn't use that system.
    I also have collected several Thoth, Marseille and Tarrochi decks, but they are more for study at the moment. I don't read with them - yet!

  • @DeeDust
    @DeeDust Рік тому

    I came across the Under the Roses Lenormand deck on Amazon, and just the art of the box had me wanting it. I had never even looked at Lenormand before, but this deck is lovely and comes with two different cards for the Child, Gentleman, and Lady that you can use for your own preference. I read the booklet once but everything clicked for me even without it. It got me interested in Lenormand decks but i haven't found any other that speaks to me as loudly as this one.
    I mostly use oracle decks for creating stories now. So I've been drawn to a few kickstarters where gaming companies decide to create a Tarot deck, and I've gotten some interesting ones. The Masquerade Tarot deck from Fatum is gorgeous, The Fablemaker's Animated Tarot set by Hitpoint Press is lenticular too, and Exalted Funeral put out an herbalist primer for DnD that has a set of flash cards that might not quite be an oracle deck but do help me from time to time.

  •  11 місяців тому +3

    I find Lenormand to be much better for practical things. Like, if I want to know how my day it's going to be or a specific outcome to a situation, I use the Lenormand. I don't use that particular version, I have the Dreaming Way and I love it to bits. I love Tarot for more general subjects or abstract questions, or if I want to get more depth or layered information.

My first tarot deck was the Ethereal Visions tarot. My aunt gifted it to me on my birthday a few years back and I grew up loving art nouveau style, so it was a perfect match and she didn't even know!

    🌟🌟🌟What a great episode! I absolutely loved it! I have so many decks on my wish list it's bananas lol! So I decided to get a deck a month. I absolutely love the celtic spirit oracle deck. I pull cards and also use them on alters. I really am loving the Seasons of the Witch oracle series also. Right now there are four of the eight released and Imbolc is the next up. They all have a different color foil edge. Beltane is gold, Samhain is red, Mabon is a burnt orange, and Yule light blue. So I think you would enjoy the color schemes and the artwork. My favorite tarot deck is the Light Seers. The artwork just speaks to me.

    @tediyrabarton-harris240 Рік тому +2

    My favorite is the Tarot Playing Deck by Dead on Paper. Poker card size, pip minor arcana, detailed imagery on the court, major arcana, and aces. My absolute favorite thing about it though is the linen card stock. Its been my daily work horse deck for three years and still going strong.
    My second favorite is The Tarot of the Divine. I love how it is inspired by fairy tales and folklore. The artist put a lot of thought into which stories represent which cards.
    I like the tarot deck from Hit Point Press, but since its lenticular you have to put them in protective sleeves and they are terrible for shuffling of any sort. If I'm reading for someone else, I will use these cards to help the querent because the visuals are lovely and easier to understand than some of my favorite decks.
    As for oracles I only have two: Laurel Grove South Cemetery Divination Deck by Holly L'Oiseau and the Seed & Sickle Oracle by Fez Inkwright. I love how personal the first deck is and how the second has such interesting interpretations of the plants it uses as inspiration.
    I have the same Lenormand deck as Hearth and I agree its wonderful, but I haven't taken the time to really understand Lenormand. It has such a different way of speaking that I would really need to sit down and study it for a couple years before I felt confident.

    It’s so nice to see what resonates with each practitioner! ⭐️ My first deck was the Deviant Moon tarot and I feel so connected with it that it almost feels strange to get other decks. I did get a deck recently that I still strongly resonate with, but it’s more suited for a single to three cards draws max. And with the Deviant Moon I always feel the urge to keep pulling cards and do full spreads. I love both decks but, it definitely feels like the Deviant Moon wants to be the main deck 😄

    I have the Oracle of the Witch deck. The deck actually chose me, I was looking at another deck in this wonderful little witchy store. I do not usually buy items that are red,this deck grabbed my attention, as soon as I picked up the box, I knew instantly that I had to get that deck. Every reading has been accurate! I love Oracle of the Witch deck

    I am drawn towards tarot and Oracle decks that are animal and nature-based. In my readings, I go by the tarot meaning and also the Spirit of the animals and other items from nature that are shown on the deck.

    I also love the Rider Waite Smith deck most of all..im a traditionalist and find myself putting the most faith in this really old deck...i occasionally use an oracle deck because i live in a rural area that is called Woodland Wardens by Jessica Roux..i like to pick one a day that includes an animal and a plant and sort of use it as my "theme" or spirit of the day....i also have a jack o lantern deck that i bought last october in Salem that i intend on getting familier with this month ( October)...thanks for your insight..im amazed at how many different decks are out there..thanks again❤

    I actually agree with your observations on the Rider-Waite Smith deck. The art that it has is very thoughtfully drawn (the artist and art director are both well-known occultists of the Golden Dawn, so it only makes sense) and I also have less reservations using it compared to other decks because it's so easy to get, at least in variations. I'm saying that as someone whose first experience with Tarot was through a now out of print deck and also purposefully bought a damaged deck since I knew I would be adverse to using cards that are "too beautiful to be used" (I like to use decks, so decks that are mass-market or damaged are preferable to me because I get usually get mass-market easier, and damaged cards have a "use factor" to them). The Rider-Waite Smith isn't my favorite deck -currently for me that's a tie between the Shadowscapes Tarot and Disney's Alice in Wonderland Tarot- but I will grab the Rider-Waite Smith deck over others for both practical and aesthetic reasons.
    Also even though I only have 2 Lenormand decks, I actually prefer Lenormand to Tarot because I find them to be very practical. My problem though is because I'm not in a cishet relationship (and when I wasn't, thought about being in queer relationships), I don't like to grab traditional Lenormand decks because they don't represent me well. That narrows down the decks I would actually use substantially. It sounds a little nitpicky but it really makes all the difference when you're using Lenormand to find out whether to pursue an attractive nonbinary person.

    to me they look too simplistic,
    design wise, there was some cool
    art there!
    my design philosophy has been
    that there has to many layers
    for the reader to emphasize or
    ignore.
    all the "big things" i´ve saved
    for those layers.. so when a
    reader pulls a card they can say
    this is also a moon card, this is
    also a winter card, this is also
    a feminine card, this is also
    a protection card (going for
    seven layers).
    the main attraction in my cards
    however are the opposites..
    yesterday i wrote Universe vs.
    Self, Force vs. Free will,
    Faith vs. Karma and Restraint
    vs. All in :)
    i´ve written so many opposites
    now that i dislike them.. it´s
    just if you go that way then
    everything else becomes a minor
    system (because they include
    all the metaphysical concepts).

    Much love on the videos.

    Tarot of the Sorceress looks stunning! 🌟🌟Actually browsing through google to get a copy now 👀
    As to my favourite tarot deck, it's the Spirit Keeper's Tarot, Vitruvian Edition by Benebell Wen. I actually missed its print run but got a copy of the digital files for the major arcana + aces & court cards as part of one of the courses Benebell runs. I printed the cards out and stuck them to unused tcg cards then sleeved them to create my physical copy. They're far from looking anything like a professionally printed decks (my arts & craft skill is shocking!) but they sing to me 😊

    Thanks, Hearth. I'm pretty new to witchcraft and tarot. My goal is to obtain a new tarot or oracle deck once per year. So far I have the DruidCraft tarot and the Shadowscapes tarot. The artwork on both of these decks is very beautiful. The Druidcraft is based on the principles of modern Druidry and Wicca and incorporates the story of Cerridwen and Gwion which represents the Great Rite and Alchemical Wedding. The Shadowscapes is more fantasy based but still very wonderful. I think I prefer the DruidCraft for readings and spell work. The guide book is very good. This year I would like to get an oracle deck. The Celtic Spirit Oracle looks enticing.

    One deck I really like and it might be your esthetic is the Förhäxa tarot by MJ Cullinane. It is now mass market and called the Enchanted Förhäxa, I think. It's darker colours and about faeries. I love it so much! Another one I love is Moonchild tarot, Shadow edition. Edit: forgot to say by whom: Danielle Noel.

    🌟🌟🌟Hi Hearth! I was so excited for this video to come out! I've definitely jotted down some decks I will be trying 🖤 Thank you so much! Also, I completely agree about the Halloween Oracle deck. I have it and hardly ever work with it either. The imagery definitely isn't varied enough and I've also found the guide book to be oddly unhelpful. I've actually been working with the Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle lately and it's definitely delivered on the spooky season vibes I was looking for with the Halloween Oracle, so that might be worth a try! xo

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved your list! My very favorite deck is Hush Tarot. It is super accurate for reading for myself and others. My second favorite is Murder of Crows, which I use for communication with my deity and is consistently and brutally honest and straightforward. 😂 My favorite oracle deck is the Urban Crow Oracle. I use it for daily draws.

    the wild unkown is a great starter deck it is actually the deck I started on and it will give you very good acruat readings however it is just that it is a beginners deck and when you level up its just not going to be the deck you reach for anymore because you now you wont get the details you need to give a reading to read yourself with... that is why it was not higher other than you specifically statting what i just described in that you have not read it in ten years
