It's so interesting to see everyone's picks -- so happy you joined in. Your comments on the Fountain Tarot and why you use it for others is really interesting. It's interesting to have decks that are designated for others as well as decks for personal use only and to kind of analyze why that is. #tarotnerd. Anyway, thank you for sharing, Sarah!
Thank you so much Beth! 💖💖💖 And yeah my relationship with the Fountain is definitely really unique…that whole “trusted colleague vs personal friend” analogy.
I am fascinated by the Herb Crafter's Tarot, people who love it seem so passionate about it and I can't imagine being able to read with it, but as you said, it's not expensive and worth a try. Great video, thank you❤
Thank you so much! 💖 Yeah with the Herbcrafters it’s definitely a matter of the system and guidebook being so well done that makes it readable I think! 😊
Tarot of Mystical Moments is just so good, isn’t it! I feel like it’s one of the recent deck releases that is really going to stand the test of time. 💖
Love your list. I think your comments on the Fountain tarot finally explained to me why I don't use that deck - too much detachment. Green Witch and Anna K. seem like two peas in a pod, so I'm not surprised to see both on the list. Every time I see you talking about Deviant Moon, I get an itch to acquire that deck. I have the Trionfa della Luna and love it, but it's veeeeeery NSFW. Lightseers... hmmm. I finally modded the images of the Empress, (she needs more body to have room for guts, I don't know why this bothered me, but I made her thicker,) and the Ace of Swords, (that looooooooooooong neck. I drew in a standing collar and shaded in shoulders, etc.) Now I love that deck too - except for that one dude-bro knight. But given that the Knight of Cups is often more of a f*ck-boi than a proper romantic interest, I can live with that card.
Oh that’s so cool that you modded some of the images on the Light Seers to make it work better for you!! I am super impressed with the artistic ability it takes to do that. Honestly I am all for making the Empress thicker, if I have one major criticism of the Light Seers it’s the lack of body size/shape/ability diversity. If you love your Trionfi I think you’d probably adore the Deviant Moon, it’s such a great deck! 💖💖💖🌝
Thank you so much Meg and thank you for the awesome tag! I’m having fun making more videos again…a big goal for me this year is to be more consistent on UA-cam so we’ll see how I do 🤞💖
Enjoyed your selections! I just can't with that Anna-K Five of Swords with the children about to be slaughtered though; it takes the whole deck away from a fairytale world I'd like to visit and toward a "game of thrones" hellscape. (It's also super jarring and far removed from the ways heartlessness shows up in my life.) I think you have convinced me on the "touchstone tarot" though; I have the "influence of angels tarot" and I have been craving another classic art collage deck. And I can't seem to stop myself from loving the Morgan Greer even though it is so male- heavy in its representation. On my Halloween Tarot, I colored the borders black which I think was a huge improvement!
I do totally get that…the Anna K five of swords does feel jarring. If you’re looking for another classic art collage deck both the Touchstone and the Golden Tarot (also by Kat Black) are wonderful…the Golden Tarot is more medieval artwork while the Touchstone is more renaissance and baroque. Oh gosh black borders would look fantastic on the Halloween Tarot! Contemplating whether I trust the steadiness of my hands enough to attempt it….🤔😆
It's nice you included a RWS deck as an HM. I think one foundational deck like that definitely needs to be in any top 10 tarot ranking I could make for myself! And great, varied selection for the other 10. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!! And yeah I think the original tag even made a carve-out for every collection to have at least one RWS and one Thoth (which I completely forgot when I filmed my response) but it makes so much sense to have a deck like that in any collection…even if I don’t use it much for reading I’d never be without it! 💖💖💖
I came back to watch again. I really enjoyed how you explained the decks. Thank you so much. I’m not buying any currently but honestly you could sell me any deck to purchase ❤
I totally get that…in a way the minors in the Herbcrafters are set up more elementally/numerologically than like an RWS and in terms of the specific plants I’m still very guidebook reliant in reading it.
That’s my friend Juli 🥰🥰🥰…and just a heads up that we do regular livestreams together and she has her own UA-cam channel where she is also very funny (just in case you’re looking for more tarot content 😉)
I love mini decks. and the herb crafter's tarot, such a great selection
herb crafter's is so unique and rich it's an essential
The Herbcrafters is SO GOOD, isn’t it? Absolutely adore that deck, it’s such a joy to use. 💖

So many great selections! While the Deviant Dude ultimately wasn't for me, I genuinely understand and appreciate why it resonates for so many people.
It still slays me when you call it the Deviant Dude 🤣🤣🤣
I agree, the mini decks are delightful! Tarot of Mystical Moments is one of my favs!

@@SunsetBoughTarot If you go for black borders, I recommend using painters tape! (you could also use a broad-tip Sharpie to expedite the process)
I really enjoyed seeing your choices Sarah❤❤
Thank you B! 💖💖💖
Great picks Sarah! Enjoyed seeing them. Nice that Herbcrafters is on so many people's list.
Thank you so much! Gosh I just truly adore the Herbcrafters 😍🥰
Love your review. I'm one who truly loves Anna K tarot!
Yaaaasss Anna K defenders unite! 💪 I just love the hobbity-looking people in that deck and it expresses the card meanings SO well 💖

I have a deck I LOVE LOVE LOVE, but only use for other people. I get it
Some decks are just really personal and others are just really…interpersonal for some reason! 😊💖
I came back to watch again. I really enjoyed how you explained the decks. Thank you so much. I’m not buying any currently but honestly you could sell me any deck to purchase ❤
Thank you so much, I’m so glad you enjoyed!! 🥰💖
Oh, I also *love* the artwork in Herbcrafters, but I struggle with reading the minors in it. (I may end up using it more as majors only deck .)
I totally get that…in a way the minors in the Herbcrafters are set up more elementally/numerologically than like an RWS and in terms of the specific plants I’m still very guidebook reliant in reading it.
👍💖
Lovely! Subbed as soon as I saw the Deviant Moon. It's like your b!itchy bff one tequila down and not pulling any punches.
I love this description of the Deviant Moon so much!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Spot on accurate 🎯 And welcome!

Thanks, happy to be here and I laughed out loud at your other subscriber calling it the Deviant Dude...🤣
That’s my friend Juli 🥰🥰🥰…and just a heads up that we do regular livestreams together and she has her own UA-cam channel where she is also very funny (just in case you’re looking for more tarot content 😉)
