I have both decks and Light Seer's was my first deck. I love the asthetic of both decks. To me, they don't have the exact same feel. I look at the Unfolding Path as a more typical, trendy, business, structured type deck. I look at Light Seer's as a more bohemian, earthy, finding your tribe vibe. I feel like I can use them for different vibes and feels.
This comment nailed the difference I can feel, but could not put into words or even fully figure out. And since I'm coming to terms with some things that makes me different to the mainstream society of course I'm at this time more drawn to finding tribe where I fit rather than the more career focused deck. Thank you for leaving this comment.
@rebeckajarl3934 aww. You're welcome. I'm glad it was able to reach someone. I understand the finding your tribe season. We all go through it when we want to be ourselves instead of how society shaped us to be. 🥰
Oh My Golly Lissa.....Keep both....The Light Seers tarot was my very first deck that I ever related to at soul level. I am 53 and people refer to this deck as a young persons deck....but I too was younger once and this vibe in this deck has caught the spirit of who I truly am regardless of age. I have the Unfolding Path Tarot arriving any day. I haven't read with them yet.... but believe I would get a different feel with them, then what I get in the light seers tarot. Keep both I believe both will deliver different messages to you. They are both beautiful decks and they should live together in your home. Say hello to Peggy for me. Take Care...Terri from Australia.
Thanks for the comment about the Light Seers. I'm 59 and I can still also connect to the deck because on the inside, I'm still the same person at my very core as I was when I was younger. Not to mention, the colours are gorgeous. I just got the Unfolding Path and haven't gone through it yet. It's got a different kind of beauty, colour pallet wise.
It’s so funny. For me, Light Seers wins on almost every count. I like the bright colors. I like the positivity and even a celebration of the shadow side in the Light Seers deck. I love the bright smile on the Heirophant. The Light Seers is the clear win for me. But that’s what makes tarot awesome. The way different images hit us different while still offering the traditional wisdom.
I always feel like the Queen of Swords in sitting on her castle in the light seers. Where she can see everything that is happening around her and observe everything with her clear vision before responding to situations around her. Terri from Australia
I just have to say....the devil in the light seer...screams ....come dance with me and has such a luring way of drawing your to him.....or your additions, bad habits that just keep pulling you in. Yes there are many more meanings to the card. But the light seers tarot's Devil card to me will always be a card that is hard to bet in others decks. It is personal what each card means to each person I know. I just love what he brings to the devil card. Because repeated behaviours and habits are always there, at our weakest moments in life. Pulling us, drawing us back to what we know, what feels safe to us. He is so Luring.....Terri from Australia
I have to say, Lisa, you do an amazing job of comparing and just explaining the tarot. I've watched a TON of tarot tube and when I'm looking for information on tarot in general or on specific decks I always look for a video by you first! Your explanations and pointing out your perspectives doing these deck walk throughs has helped me learn the tarot so much better than any other resource I've found on UA-cam! If I could afford it, I'd sign up for your tarot bootcamp in a second! At any rate, I wanted to say THANK YOU! Everyone deserves to know when they've had a positive impact on someone, even if it's a stranger from the South of Florida.
Lisa, you have such a clear idea of what symbolism you look for/want in each card, I would love to see a deck that you create alongside an artist, where you can really have that personal meaning shine through each card. How cool would that be? I also appreciate how the symbolism isn't necessarily rigid for you, like how you're always open and excited to see how a card might be presented or offer new insight in it's interpretation. TLDR: I just think you're really cool and I would love to see your insight in a deck one day.
My Unfolding Path Tarot arrived recently and I’m in love with it and using it this month. Next month, I plan to pair it with the Light Seer’s Tarot. For me, it’s not an either/or decision but keeping them together to complement each other. Using two decks for the same spread also means that I can draw duplicate cards which I’ve found gives extra emphasis and makes me pay more attention to the message from that card. Last night, I drew the Devil card and it was perfect for reinforcing the message that I was processing, but had not completely severed the unhealthy cords I have with a toxic person in my life. The broken chains on the Devil’s wrists encouraged me as they said that the chains are broken, however, now I need to face the dark/shadows in me. Shadow work is planned for next month. Thanks for your video, Lisa. I always enjoy them, and in particular the way you unpack the image for the card meaning. The video becomes a mini tutorial for learning the tarot. ❤️😊
I like both decks. For me though, it’s the Lightseers Tarot. I don’t know why I just love the vibe of that deck. You can see face expressions much easier on the Unfolding Path Tarot. There’s more of a sense of adventure for me in the Lightseers. 💜💜💜
Both decks are great but I love the Lightseers for the win🦋 The vibrant colourful art is stunning! I do love the older people in the unfolding path though! Great video thanks for sharing!
These are two decks that are really pretty to look at but I feel no need to own. I understand why the LS is so popular though (I guess the UP is still too new or indie for wider use). The LS has always seemed very young Boho crowd to me and the UP on that front seems much more diverse. But why are you so surprised that the two tied piles are equal? Isn't that the point by definition?😁
They are both great. The light seers win’s for me. I do love some cards in unfolding path, I almost backed it but i didn’t because I wasn’t sure if I would like the white space, some cards I just didn’t get on with, a lot of cards actually. They both are great though.
I love the Light Seer so much. It wins for me here. But why not enjoy both of them, right? I personally am not attracted to the Unfolding Path, though it surely has its beauty.
I loved ❤your video and how you went into detail on how the card in each deck met or failed your interpretation of the meaning of that card. So informative. I also thought it was cute you were amazed the “tied” pile for both decks were equal since by its very nature since they were “tied” they would have to be. 😊 Anyway, as usual, I thought you did an excellent job, Lisa.
I didn't back the Unfolding Path specifically because it reminded me SO much of the Light Seers', which I have in both Kickstarter and mass market editions. Looking forward to watching this video!
When you got to the empress and were looking at the unfolding path card trying to figure out the name of the "child like empress" from the never ending story...I KNEW you were going to say that because when i look at that card i see the same thing. I will most likely get both of these decks because there are just to many cards in both of them that i love. And i LOVE that the 6 of wands has someone who is in a wheel chair...being in one myself i am really drawn to the diversity of the physical differences of people in cards. I also have the "Superlunaris" deck which has a girl in a wheel chair for the chariot card.
i am so bonded with the light seer's so i probably would never let it go. i own the unfolding path too, and most of the time i was thinking I'd rather play with the LS or even the Superlunaris. maybe in a while i might think different, but for me right now if i had to choose I'd let go of the unfolding path. I'd love to see a comparison video in a few months again to see how your opinion might have changed! maybe you love the unfolding path even more? or maybe you were in a honeymoon phase just now and like it less? super interesting!
Thanks so much for this video! Funnily enough, for me pretty much every Light Seer’s card won 🙈 I like the initial aesthetics of the Unfolding Path, but I do not feel a connection with a single card.. The Light Seer’s is the first deck I truly felt I was able to read intuitively with because I feel actually drawn into the cards. I can imagine and envision what’s going on in them and I can picture myself in them. I held off of it for a long time because it was SO popular I was afraid to be let down, but it’s one of the best decks in my collection! Thanks so much for comparing the two!
At first I felt that UP was copying a lot of LS artwork. However by the end, UP was hitting me differently. I'm not a fan of white borders, yet again, by the end, seeing that they weren't uniform, began to feel more like a vision vs picture. I believe I'll wait for mass produced deck before I invest. I love my LS deck and am sure I'll love UP deck, like 2 friends that I do different activities with. Thank you for sharing!
I adore both of these decks - they are by far my favourite two tarot decks. Both have their plusses and minuses. I think I'm going to go through mine in order like you've done to see what comes up for me. I wasn't sure I'd like the white space on the UP deck as normally I can't stand any kind of border, but on these they just work.They are fractionally different sizes otherwise I'd be tempted to blend them so I'd have all my favourite cards in one deck. I use my Light Seers for my 'week ahead' spread and the UP for daily draws and they're working so well together for me.
Love that you did this video, Lisa. I was considering ordering the Unfolding Path but this side-by-side really let me know that I would always reach for the Light Seer’s from my collection. The way I read is closer to Light Seer’s, maybe because it was among my first decks purchased. The Unfolding Path is beautiful but just not enough for me to spend the money. Thanks for the insight.❤
Lisa, I really liked this deep dive between 2 decks! I don't have either of these decks, and it was fun to see all of the cards. It was also very informative in case I decide to buy one of these decks! Thank you! ❤️
I really like both… this feels a little premature though because Unfolding Path is newer (in a lot of the ones where Light Seers stands on its own it landed in the mutual category)… The Unfolding Path has too many images that I can find in other decks which means I’d get bored of it quick. Also, the images feel a more stagnant than The Light Seers. You get a lot of movement in The Light Seers. The Moon card is great… she’s plunged into her unconscious. I wish the Light Seers had the coloring vibe of The Unfolding Path. The people look less weird in Unfolding Path.
I am keeping both decks. Light Seer's brighter colors and lack of border appeals more to me but some of the cards from the Unfolding Path just landed with an amazing deep connection that it instantly became a favorite. That lover card from the Unfolding Path was a WOW moment when I first saw it in person as it resonates so deeply with me. It alone gave such a deep instant bond.
The world card in the light seers tarot, the woman is standing in the same mandala/circle that the woman is falling into in the fool card. That makes the world card to me in that deck have more meaning
Thank you for this comparison. The reason I heavy heartedly decided against the UP were, that 1. I felt in inhabited the same space as the LS and 2. It has no guide book. Now I’ve seen your comparison, even though I prefer more cards from the LS, I find that the UP does hold its own. But how about the leaflet? Are those symbols and flowers you were wondering about in the video, explained in the leaflet? I can’t see anyone in the comments answering that question. I think the UP is so beautiful. And it shows more diversity than any other deck I know. I still hope it gets picked up mass market with a guide book added. I’d order it immediately.
Thanks for sharing, what a wonderful walkthrough of both decks. I love them both, I think I like the color palette a bit more on the Lightsears, the cardstock is a lot better on the Unfolding path, so shuffling it is a lot more fun for me.
I think the artist of the Unfolding Path was inspired by the Light Seer's path - mostly the colors in a few cards - but the artist drew each image in a new way and added their own spin. Other than that, and each using a script font in the corner, the decks are different. The characters are different. The backgrounds are different. Even the way they're drawn is different - ones more cartoon and one has more realistic images. I don't think The Unfolding Path is a rip off of the Light Seer's tarot - the artist did way more than tweak the deck - but I can definitely see that it was influenced by the Light Seer's tarot.
They are both soo good but they offer different perspectives. I think the magician cards in these two decks are some of my very favorite magician cards. I know the Light Seers is young and I am not young now but I have never stopped loving the deck. I also love that it is mass market now and accessible to more people. I love the colors in the light seers, the colors are just fantastic. The Unfolding path is lovely but is a softer different feel for me. I love the age in the unfolding path. I am keeping both of mine because I think there are enough differences they won't overlap too much. Both are really incredible disks. I do notice the Light Seer's is less RWS than the unfolding path and goes it own way much more. Unfolding path might be slightly easier for a new reader and then they could move to light seers when they want to see some cards in a new light. I love the ruins hidden in the light seers, I find them gradually and always missed them when I started using the deck. I also love the court cards in the light seers because they feel more in tune with the outside world and less like business people. The Light Seer's has been the deck I always have gifted to the new readers in my life. I would consider gifting the Unfolding Path to new reader's too. I love the depiction of being in control of your magic in the Light Seers so much though, it is a deck that feels like there was some connection with the divine while this deck was created. I think I prefer the Light Seer's if I had to choose between the two but I don't have to choose luckily.
YES! I definitely agree that the Unfolding Path leans much heavier into RWSish scenes and I love the unique scenes in the Light Seer's SO much!! I feel like they are both going to remain workhorses for me!!
Great video, Lisa! I've never been drawn to the LS deck, but I like it more now, having heard your comments. I will have to watch your video about it alone. I had not seen the UP deck before this, and really like so many of the cards. The High Priestess! Love, love, love her! Perhaps because I am a crone myself (74), I really appreciate the older characters in the UP. I don't own either of these, but now I might have to get them both. Several other commenters talked about combining both decks, and I was thinking the same - putting together my winners from each. In all decks there seem to be some cards where I have strong reactions, either positive or negative, and both of these really evoke that kind of intense reaction, so mixing them would be ideal. Overall, it's the UP for me, but I can see frequently reading from both.
I have both decks in my collection, and for me I always grab light seers first, I cant quite put my finger on it but that deck has always called to me. I can read each card more intuitively in the light seers, the imagary is just so spot on for me personally. As for the unfolding path deck, I backed it and was so pleased when I received it, I was looking for something that could win over the light seers and because they both had a similar vibe for me I had high hopes that I would have another deck that pulled me in more often or the same as the light seers, a year later and I'm still grabbing light seers more than not. It's just my favorite deck. I do love that the unfolding path has more age range and thats another reason I got it, it seemed like a more mature version of the light seers which I loved. I think I need to hide my light seers deck for a while so I can really get to know the unfolding path deck more without the temptation of my favorite deck. 😅
I have Light Seer’s and it’s is the one deck as a beginner that really helps me to remember meanings. But, I agree the Page of Cups just ruins it. The Unfolding Path’s Page of Cups would almost seal the deal because an an older person, I love seeing him as Young at Heart -a romantic dreamer. If the UP deck had the color of LS then I think I might lean towards it.
Great walk comparison. One of the things I have never liked about LS is that so many cards are visually dark, and I rarely use it. I'm excited about getting the Unfolding Path maybe I will finally let the LS go.
Also, the "dangerous playground equipment” you talked about was a merry-go-round 😁 I couldn't go fast enough on that! 😂 And yep, I stood on the outside edge 🤣
I love that you read the 3 of swords as swords lol and not "hurting emotions" or "heartbreak'. I has always been confused when people referred to 3 of swords as a heartbreak card. It is the "mind" suit people?! It is to do with your throughts, mind, ego.
I really appreciate your comparison, Lisa. Both decks are gorgeous, with a few cards in each that I'm not overly keen on - such is life, so it's all good! Most of them are very pretty. Love, gratitude and blessings to you and everyone reading this. 🙏🏽❤💐
Thank you sooo much for this. I have had the lightseers for years and picked up the unfolding tarot today and I am in love!!!! A Tarot and Oracle pairing that works well is the Unfolding Path Tarot with the Herbal Astrology Oracle😍😍😍
Very fun comparison video! While this increased my appreciation for Unfolding Path, I just find Lightseers much more visually appealing on the whole. (The vibrancy, the color palate, and the immersive, borderless backgrounds probably have a lot to do with that.) On some of the cards that you tied for both having all the elements you like to see, I was going, "yes, BUT look at how much prettier the Lightseers card is!" haha! (for example, the Lightseers Three of Cups with that gorgeous twilight sky they are staring into is so much more evocative to me!). While Unfolding Path has more facial expression on the whole, which could be advantageous in some ways, in other ways it could be distracting with some characters feeling "over the top." The biggest plus to me of Unfolding Path is the greater age and body diversity, but making all four queens and the empress look very young really annoys me (especially when their male counterparts often look older). Honestly, if the queens looked older I would probably spring for it OR if it was available mass market I'd probably quickly pick it up. But considering Lightseers was $13 on a Hayhouse sale and Unfolding Path would be $80 with shipping...
Oh yeah, from a purely aesthetic perspective, light seers is just visually stunning. But a reading perspective is also really important. And I think that's the way Lisa approached it. A card can be absolutely gorgeous, but if it doesn't convey the meaning of the card in a way that feels right for you (especially when doing a side by side comparison) then it just doesn't work.
I just love both of them and for me i feel such different vibes from the decks that i think i would reach for them to deal with different issues. If i had a hard decision or really needed to get to the crux of the matter i think i would pull the Unfolding Path but if i had a family or emotional issue or a self love or self care issue that needed nurturing i would pull the Light Seers. Just personal preference but i am glad to see you keep both 😂
I'm really glad I found this video, Lisa! I had pre-ordered the mass market Unfolding Path (being released in August) based on another of your videos but now I've seen it close up - and particularly side by side with Light Seers - for my tastes there's no comparison with LS which is one of my favourite and most used decks. I do love the crone High Priestess in the UP (I'm 66) but I'm not a fan of the aesthetic generally. The LS is stunning - so vibrant, so full of movement and depth of meaning. I'll be cancellling my preorder of UP and preordering the mini LS (also out in August) instead. As always, love your content!
I hadn't seen The Unfolding Path Tarot before. It's really beautiful, and a lot of the faces are so amazingly expressive. The only thing that kind of kills the vibe for me is all that stark white around the edges of all of the cards. I just wish it was perhaps a neutral cream color, or even a dark grey. It's just too harsh for my eyes with all the bright white on every card. But I realize that is simply a personal preference of mine, rather than there being something "wrong" with the deck. It would be cool if they did a reprint in the future that eliminated the white. But even if not, I can't disagree that the artwork is amazing! ♥️
I actually find the Lightseers Justice card, while cool in the reversal concept, a little problematic. The reversed version looks more "evil" or like a villain character and there is a long history as villains and evil characters being cast with darker skin as their "good" or more positive counter characters.
I hadn't actually considered that perspective before... to me, it always looked more a reflection of the same person through dark water - almost like a dark scrying mirror or something!
So the infinity symbol in strength being over the lions head...in light seers its the tattoo on the persons arm and it also lines up above the lions head. thought that was interesting.
Not sure how I feel about this video 🙃 I loved the experience of seeing both decks side by side and I hadn't seen the Unfolding Path all the way through or even quite so close up, so thank you for that. Can't say that I agreed with all of your choices, but that's a natural thing for us all to have differing preferences. I was disappointed that LS didn't win but I guess it is such a strong, bolstering deck for me that a loss would always have been 'a shame'. I totally agree with your choice on the Page of Cups though. It's always an awkward card for me anyway because it's so different to my personality, but particularly in the LS. The U.P. there is so adorable, I'd have him as a grandfather any day [I can say that because the only grandfather I ever knew passed 24 years ago 😁]. And I do prefer the UP for the Queen o Cups and the Death Card. I may have face palmed a little on your shock over the fact that the tied piles were the same.... 🤪 Oh and the word you were searching for re the death card was 'harbinger'! Thank you again - I love seeing the things you pick out of the cards. Final thing (sorry this is long) one symbol that I love on the LS Ace of Wands is the hair decoration being Indra's Net. I love the notion of being able to tap into the infinite within every bead. I was so glad when you chose that card over the UP there.
I own both of these decks and they don't feel or have the same purpose in my collection. Yes, I yelled at the screen. CHILDLIKE EMPRESS! I've been toying with the idea with doing my own YT channel so maybe I'll do a VR to this matchup.
I just bought my first deck Light Seer’s, I’m still learning the meanings and trying to get a feel for them. I do love them. I’m not even thinking about a next deck of tarot yet, I think an oracle deck will be my next purchase. Thanks for your content. Much love ❤️🔮🥰
Sooo, without watching a lot, I have a general feel that the Unfolding Path will win. I love them both equally, but the Light Seers wins in terms of guidebook. Chris Ann's writing, I mean wow😱
I have had Light Seer's on my wishlist for awhile and for some reason I just can't decide if I want it. Some images I love and then some just bug the heck out of me. I was hoping this video would help me make a definite answer, but I think I'm more undecided.
For me these two decks have a similar energy in some ways but totally different in others. I think I would reach for one some days and the other, other days. I cannot say totally in which ways they feel so different. I do have to say the light seer has a bit of an edge for me personally in that the kings feels more about the inner manifestations of the energies and not like conforming business men. Still probably do want to have both.
I own both decks. I was really excited when I saw that there was a person in a wheelchair in Unfolding Path but then I was disappointed that there was only that one card with disability rep and no others.
Not fond enough to have either deck in my collection -- but they are both beautiful with a great expression of what each card is saying. I can see how either deck could act as a clarifier for the other, perhaps always partners in a reading, mood or question dictating which is the primary, which the added interpretation..
I don't have Unfolding Path but that 3 of Swords may be my favorite version of that card. Light Seer's is a good solid deck for me and also has sime of my favorite card images like the 8 of Swords. Looking at this I don't think I need the Unfolding Path since I have Light Seer's but it is a really tempting deck.
Ahh I didn’t realise you’re a fellow Cancer ♋️ I was so interested to watch this when it popped up as I can’t imagine ever getting rid of the LS tarot! Really excited to see more of the unfolding path though.
Wonderful video BTW. I gained alot of insight from it. Just wondering if you know of where your wand in this video or a similar looking wand can be purchased.
i'm so sorry to say this but the unfolding path feels like a blatant rip off to me in a way, even more so now that i have seen both decks side by side. i have a hard time respecting it for that reason. i do see why people love it, but i feel it should be mentioned. anyone else feel that way?
@@Lisa_Papez maybe it's a matter of perspective. i do think that there are differences, and some of the cards are really stunning and original, but overall it just feels that way to me, as if some cards or elements were copied and then tweaked in a way; down to the colors of the same card, the hidden runes, the FONT; the body postures. some of the cards are just so obviously almost the same to me. it just feels copied. but maybe i could see it as a tribute :D in the same way as there are "rws decks" that aren't rws but clearly were inspired by it? i don't know. it's just like that one deck which looks like it was done by danielle noel but wasn't; i just don't know what to think of that. otherwise, as i said, i can see why people would love the unfolding path; if the similarities aren't something you are bothered by, all the better!
I don't see it as a rip off. Its still RWS but theres so many subtleties in the Unfolding Path that i have not seen in other decks such as the Aces, the elemental symbol is a tatoo on the hand which is great. The Judgement card really makes you think about the meaning which is quite enlightening when you find it. I also love the older man as the page of cups cos no other deck i have uses an older person for the page and it makes you think of 'young at heart' which i love. It has an intense mind energy too which the Light Seers has a nurturing heart energy so for me is used for completely different purposes. So I find it as quite an innovative deck whereas Light Seers just broke the RWS mold
I, too, was struck by the clear inspirational relationship between many of the Light Seer's cards and the Unfolding Path cards. It would be interesting to ask the creator about it. The creators of the Spacious Tarot, for example, openly acknowledge that their deck was inspired by Wild Unknown, and the influence is easy to see in many of the cards. So many of us are seeing the connections here, I would like to hear the creator's take for sure.
Wow - I see the similarity - but the artwork gives me different vibes. One bold artwork while the other more hand sketched. It really would be a choice of today's mood. I bought Aunt Lily's tarot because it reminded me of Light Seer's but came in a smaller travel size. I reach for it more than Light Seer's now due to size and card artwork interpretation. Agree - LightSeer's King of Pentacles is best one of all my decks - my Soulmate! Send him my way if you meet him. ❤Path's 6 of wands reminds me of the song "Man in Motion" about Rick Hansen who traveled the world in a wheel chair to bring awareness to disabilities and spinal cord injuries. (There's your missing spotlight for the card - 🥰) I had never seen Path deck - it's a nice one. It's hard to compete with Light Seer's - it's a great beginner deck and so spot on.
I also was tempted to but Aunt Lilys tarot but i had already ordered and was waiting on tje Cosmic Cycles and thought Aunt Lilys and Cosmic Cycles may be too similar for me. Will see what happens once i get to know the deck better.
I love your this or that's! I do not like the light seer's. I cannot relate with most of these people, they seem to live in a different bubble than me. And I think the "Grey-haired" people remind me of a summer some years ago, when it was hip for young people to dye their hair grey. There are a handful of cards that I love, but right now, I don't plan to buy the deck. The unfolding path looks great! On first sight I love most of the cards. I would like to talk to these people. And the supposedly aged people really look like aged people. Though the deck is not in my price range, I'm happy that it exists and that I've seen it!
For me, the light seer's is the winner. I think it came down to the fact taht for me, thr unfolding path feels more like a rws clone. Where as the light seer's feels more unique, doing it's own thing. But that page of cups in the unfolding path is hands down my favorite page of cups. Also everytime you said the name of the card instead of the deck name that won I chuckled a bit 😅
Not sure how you feel about magpie deck but I feel these two decks could be added together where you use your favorite cards from both in one deck. I love all the flowers in the Unfolding Path. They speak to me.
I though they were alike too! I love seeing that I’m not the only one. I feel leike I’m not crazy now 😂😂😂. For a few readings what I did was I pulled the cards with LS and then pulled the matching cards from UP to see if I saw the same or something different and I found I get different hits. For me LS gives me general and UP specific or up close and personal getting all up in the business if that makes sense 😂. So now it’s been marked 😂😂
I have both decks and Light Seer's was my first deck. I love the asthetic of both decks. To me, they don't have the exact same feel. I look at the Unfolding Path as a more typical, trendy, business, structured type deck. I look at Light Seer's as a more bohemian, earthy, finding your tribe vibe. I feel like I can use them for different vibes and feels.
This comment nailed the difference I can feel, but could not put into words or even fully figure out. And since I'm coming to terms with some things that makes me different to the mainstream society of course I'm at this time more drawn to finding tribe where I fit rather than the more career focused deck. Thank you for leaving this comment.
@rebeckajarl3934 aww. You're welcome. I'm glad it was able to reach someone. I understand the finding your tribe season. We all go through it when we want to be ourselves instead of how society shaped us to be. 🥰
For me the Light Seer’s deck wins. While I like both the Light Seer’s deck just speaks to me. I think it is the bold colors that they used.
I seem to be in the minority here, but as an artist, I love the art style and quality of the Unfolding Path more.
I feel same
Same. I love the diversity in the unfolding path, which I feel the light seers lacks
Oh My Golly Lissa.....Keep both....The Light Seers tarot was my very first deck that I ever related to at soul level. I am 53 and people refer to this deck as a young persons deck....but I too was younger once and this vibe in this deck has caught the spirit of who I truly am regardless of age. I have the Unfolding Path Tarot arriving any day. I haven't read with them yet.... but believe I would get a different feel with them, then what I get in the light seers tarot. Keep both I believe both will deliver different messages to you. They are both beautiful decks and they should live together in your home. Say hello to Peggy for me. Take Care...Terri from Australia.
Thanks for the comment about the Light Seers. I'm 59 and I can still also connect to the deck because on the inside, I'm still the same person at my very core as I was when I was younger. Not to mention, the colours are gorgeous. I just got the Unfolding Path and haven't gone through it yet. It's got a different kind of beauty, colour pallet wise.
I prefer the Light Seers as they are more scenic,Unfolding Path is a portrait deck, which I why I anti hauled it
It’s so funny. For me, Light Seers wins on almost every count. I like the bright colors. I like the positivity and even a celebration of the shadow side in the Light Seers deck. I love the bright smile on the Heirophant. The Light Seers is the clear win for me. But that’s what makes tarot awesome. The way different images hit us different while still offering the traditional wisdom.
I always feel like the Queen of Swords in sitting on her castle in the light seers. Where she can see everything that is happening around her and observe everything with her clear vision before responding to situations around her. Terri from Australia
I just have to say....the devil in the light seer...screams ....come dance with me and has such a luring way of drawing your to him.....or your additions, bad habits that just keep pulling you in. Yes there are many more meanings to the card. But the light seers tarot's Devil card to me will always be a card that is hard to bet in others decks. It is personal what each card means to each person I know. I just love what he brings to the devil card. Because repeated behaviours and habits are always there, at our weakest moments in life. Pulling us, drawing us back to what we know, what feels safe to us. He is so Luring.....Terri from Australia
I have to say, Lisa, you do an amazing job of comparing and just explaining the tarot. I've watched a TON of tarot tube and when I'm looking for information on tarot in general or on specific decks I always look for a video by you first! Your explanations and pointing out your perspectives doing these deck walk throughs has helped me learn the tarot so much better than any other resource I've found on UA-cam! If I could afford it, I'd sign up for your tarot bootcamp in a second! At any rate, I wanted to say THANK YOU! Everyone deserves to know when they've had a positive impact on someone, even if it's a stranger from the South of Florida.
Thank you so m uch, that really means a lot to me!! 💜💜💜
Lisa, you have such a clear idea of what symbolism you look for/want in each card, I would love to see a deck that you create alongside an artist, where you can really have that personal meaning shine through each card. How cool would that be? I also appreciate how the symbolism isn't necessarily rigid for you, like how you're always open and excited to see how a card might be presented or offer new insight in it's interpretation. TLDR: I just think you're really cool and I would love to see your insight in a deck one day.
I would love that too! 😉
My Unfolding Path Tarot arrived recently and I’m in love with it and using it this month. Next month, I plan to pair it with the Light Seer’s Tarot. For me, it’s not an either/or decision but keeping them together to complement each other. Using two decks for the same spread also means that I can draw duplicate cards which I’ve found gives extra emphasis and makes me pay more attention to the message from that card.
Last night, I drew the Devil card and it was perfect for reinforcing the message that I was processing, but had not completely severed the unhealthy cords I have with a toxic person in my life. The broken chains on the Devil’s wrists encouraged me as they said that the chains are broken, however, now I need to face the dark/shadows in me. Shadow work is planned for next month.
Thanks for your video, Lisa. I always enjoy them, and in particular the way you unpack the image for the card meaning. The video becomes a mini tutorial for learning the tarot. ❤️😊
I like both decks. For me though, it’s the Lightseers Tarot. I don’t know why I just love the vibe of that deck. You can see face expressions much easier on the Unfolding Path Tarot. There’s more of a sense of adventure for me in the Lightseers. 💜💜💜
Both decks are great but I love the Lightseers for the win🦋
The vibrant colourful art is stunning! I do love the older people in the unfolding path though! Great video thanks for sharing!
I agree totally
Omg I love this vs series and deep dive of each of the cards explaining what you see in each card. Love it!
I think I may order the Unfolding Path Tarot, I really enjoyed how it looked. I love both of these decks I wouldn't be able to decide between the two.
These are two decks that are really pretty to look at but I feel no need to own. I understand why the LS is so popular though (I guess the UP is still too new or indie for wider use). The LS has always seemed very young Boho crowd to me and the UP on that front seems much more diverse.
But why are you so surprised that the two tied piles are equal? Isn't that the point by definition?😁
when you were comparing the tied piles you said “they’re actually pretty even.” I would hope so if they’re tied 😂😂😂😂 that made me laugh
They are both great. The light seers win’s for me. I do love some cards in unfolding path, I almost backed it but i didn’t because I wasn’t sure if I would like the white space, some cards I just didn’t get on with, a lot of cards actually. They both are great though.
Totally fair... i'm not usually a fan of the white spaace either - though it does seem to work for me with this one!
Light Seer's is a beautiful deck but I fell in love with the Unfolding Path Tarot!
I love the Light Seer so much. It wins for me here. But why not enjoy both of them, right? I personally am not attracted to the Unfolding Path, though it surely has its beauty.
I finally acquired The Light Seer's the other day and think it's awesome that I get to see this ☺️
I loved ❤your video and how you went into detail on how the card in each deck met or failed your interpretation of the meaning of that card. So informative. I also thought it was cute you were amazed the “tied” pile for both decks were equal since by its very nature since they were “tied” they would have to be. 😊 Anyway, as usual, I thought you did an excellent job, Lisa.
lol makes sense... math is hard LOL
I didn't back the Unfolding Path specifically because it reminded me SO much of the Light Seers', which I have in both Kickstarter and mass market editions. Looking forward to watching this video!
When you got to the empress and were looking at the unfolding path card trying to figure out the name of the "child like empress" from the never ending story...I KNEW you were going to say that because when i look at that card i see the same thing. I will most likely get both of these decks because there are just to many cards in both of them that i love. And i LOVE that the 6 of wands has someone who is in a wheel chair...being in one myself i am really drawn to the diversity of the physical differences of people in cards. I also have the "Superlunaris" deck which has a girl in a wheel chair for the chariot card.
i am so bonded with the light seer's so i probably would never let it go. i own the unfolding path too, and most of the time i was thinking I'd rather play with the LS or even the Superlunaris.
maybe in a while i might think different, but for me right now if i had to choose I'd let go of the unfolding path.
I'd love to see a comparison video in a few months again to see how your opinion might have changed! maybe you love the unfolding path even more? or maybe you were in a honeymoon phase just now and like it less? super interesting!
Thanks so much for this video! Funnily enough, for me pretty much every Light Seer’s card won 🙈 I like the initial aesthetics of the Unfolding Path, but I do not feel a connection with a single card.. The Light Seer’s is the first deck I truly felt I was able to read intuitively with because I feel actually drawn into the cards. I can imagine and envision what’s going on in them and I can picture myself in them. I held off of it for a long time because it was SO popular I was afraid to be let down, but it’s one of the best decks in my collection! Thanks so much for comparing the two!
At first I felt that UP was copying a lot of LS artwork. However by the end, UP was hitting me differently. I'm not a fan of white borders, yet again, by the end, seeing that they weren't uniform, began to feel more like a vision vs picture. I believe I'll wait for mass produced deck before I invest. I love my LS deck and am sure I'll love UP deck, like 2 friends that I do different activities with. Thank you for sharing!
I adore both of these decks - they are by far my favourite two tarot decks. Both have their plusses and minuses. I think I'm going to go through mine in order like you've done to see what comes up for me. I wasn't sure I'd like the white space on the UP deck as normally I can't stand any kind of border, but on these they just work.They are fractionally different sizes otherwise I'd be tempted to blend them so I'd have all my favourite cards in one deck. I use my Light Seers for my 'week ahead' spread and the UP for daily draws and they're working so well together for me.
The lemniscate in the Light Seer's is technically over the lion half of her face if you look at her forearm tattoo.
Love that you did this video, Lisa. I was considering ordering the Unfolding Path but this side-by-side really let me know that I would always reach for the Light Seer’s from my collection. The way I read is closer to Light Seer’s, maybe because it was among my first decks purchased. The Unfolding Path is beautiful but just not enough for me to spend the money. Thanks for the insight.❤
Lisa, I really liked this deep dive between 2 decks! I don't have either of these decks, and it was fun to see all of the cards. It was also very informative in case I decide to buy one of these decks! Thank you! ❤️
I really like both… this feels a little premature though because Unfolding Path is newer (in a lot of the ones where Light Seers stands on its own it landed in the mutual category)… The Unfolding Path has too many images that I can find in other decks which means I’d get bored of it quick. Also, the images feel a more stagnant than The Light Seers. You get a lot of movement in The Light Seers. The Moon card is great… she’s plunged into her unconscious. I wish the Light Seers had the coloring vibe of The Unfolding Path. The people look less weird in Unfolding Path.
I am keeping both decks. Light Seer's brighter colors and lack of border appeals more to me but some of the cards from the Unfolding Path just landed with an amazing deep connection that it instantly became a favorite. That lover card from the Unfolding Path was a WOW moment when I first saw it in person as it resonates so deeply with me. It alone gave such a deep instant bond.
The world card in the light seers tarot, the woman is standing in the same mandala/circle that the woman is falling into in the fool card. That makes the world card to me in that deck have more meaning
Oh my gosh no! I was waiting for you to do a video on the Unfolding Path tarot but a this or that video… with my two faves… I can’t 😮 lol
I am going to combine them into one deck and be open to changing them up as I feel drawn to do.
Thank you for this comparison. The reason I heavy heartedly decided against the UP were, that 1. I felt in inhabited the same space as the LS and 2. It has no guide book.
Now I’ve seen your comparison, even though I prefer more cards from the LS, I find that the UP does hold its own.
But how about the leaflet? Are those symbols and flowers you were wondering about in the video, explained in the leaflet? I can’t see anyone in the comments answering that question.
I think the UP is so beautiful. And it shows more diversity than any other deck I know. I still hope it gets picked up mass market with a guide book added. I’d order it immediately.
Thanks for sharing, what a wonderful walkthrough of both decks. I love them both, I think I like the color palette a bit more on the Lightsears, the cardstock is a lot better on the Unfolding path, so shuffling it is a lot more fun for me.
Thank you so much for this video ❤! I feel in love the Unfolding Path Tarot, and your opinions are so on point.
I think the artist of the Unfolding Path was inspired by the Light Seer's path - mostly the colors in a few cards - but the artist drew each image in a new way and added their own spin. Other than that, and each using a script font in the corner, the decks are different. The characters are different. The backgrounds are different. Even the way they're drawn is different - ones more cartoon and one has more realistic images. I don't think The Unfolding Path is a rip off of the Light Seer's tarot - the artist did way more than tweak the deck - but I can definitely see that it was influenced by the Light Seer's tarot.
They are both soo good but they offer different perspectives. I think the magician cards in these two decks are some of my very favorite magician cards. I know the Light Seers is young and I am not young now but I have never stopped loving the deck. I also love that it is mass market now and accessible to more people. I love the colors in the light seers, the colors are just fantastic. The Unfolding path is lovely but is a softer different feel for me. I love the age in the unfolding path. I am keeping both of mine because I think there are enough differences they won't overlap too much. Both are really incredible disks. I do notice the Light Seer's is less RWS than the unfolding path and goes it own way much more. Unfolding path might be slightly easier for a new reader and then they could move to light seers when they want to see some cards in a new light. I love the ruins hidden in the light seers, I find them gradually and always missed them when I started using the deck. I also love the court cards in the light seers because they feel more in tune with the outside world and less like business people. The Light Seer's has been the deck I always have gifted to the new readers in my life. I would consider gifting the Unfolding Path to new reader's too. I love the depiction of being in control of your magic in the Light Seers so much though, it is a deck that feels like there was some connection with the divine while this deck was created. I think I prefer the Light Seer's if I had to choose between the two but I don't have to choose luckily.
YES! I definitely agree that the Unfolding Path leans much heavier into RWSish scenes and I love the unique scenes in the Light Seer's SO much!! I feel like they are both going to remain workhorses for me!!
Great video, Lisa! I've never been drawn to the LS deck, but I like it more now, having heard your comments. I will have to watch your video about it alone. I had not seen the UP deck before this, and really like so many of the cards. The High Priestess! Love, love, love her! Perhaps because I am a crone myself (74), I really appreciate the older characters in the UP. I don't own either of these, but now I might have to get them both. Several other commenters talked about combining both decks, and I was thinking the same - putting together my winners from each. In all decks there seem to be some cards where I have strong reactions, either positive or negative, and both of these really evoke that kind of intense reaction, so mixing them would be ideal. Overall, it's the UP for me, but I can see frequently reading from both.
I have both decks in my collection, and for me I always grab light seers first, I cant quite put my finger on it but that deck has always called to me. I can read each card more intuitively in the light seers, the imagary is just so spot on for me personally. As for the unfolding path deck, I backed it and was so pleased when I received it, I was looking for something that could win over the light seers and because they both had a similar vibe for me I had high hopes that I would have another deck that pulled me in more often or the same as the light seers, a year later and I'm still grabbing light seers more than not. It's just my favorite deck. I do love that the unfolding path has more age range and thats another reason I got it, it seemed like a more mature version of the light seers which I loved. I think I need to hide my light seers deck for a while so I can really get to know the unfolding path deck more without the temptation of my favorite deck. 😅
I own and love both of them!!! Could not unhaul either! ❤
I have Light Seer’s and it’s is the one deck as a beginner that really helps me to remember meanings. But, I agree the Page of Cups just ruins it. The Unfolding Path’s Page of Cups would almost seal the deal because an an older person, I love seeing him as Young at Heart -a romantic dreamer. If the UP deck had the color of LS then I think I might lean towards it.
I have the Light Seers and it is my favorite reach for deck , but i just baught Unfolding Path and can't wait to recieve it and start working with it.
Both! But if I had to choose only 1, it would be Light Seers.
Great walk comparison. One of the things I have never liked about LS is that so many cards are visually dark, and I rarely use it. I'm excited about getting the Unfolding Path maybe I will finally let the LS go.
I think the tied piles are the same size because there are the exact number of cards in each pile bc they were tied.
Also, the "dangerous playground equipment” you talked about was a merry-go-round 😁 I couldn't go fast enough on that! 😂 And yep, I stood on the outside edge 🤣
Light seers is amazing and accurate for me. The empress stalked me when I was pregnant. I'd love to own og light seer
I love that you read the 3 of swords as swords lol and not "hurting emotions" or "heartbreak'. I has always been confused when people referred to 3 of swords as a heartbreak card. It is the "mind" suit people?! It is to do with your throughts, mind, ego.
Thank you so much❤You shared such great insights on both decks. Going to have both.
I really appreciate your comparison, Lisa. Both decks are gorgeous, with a few cards in each that I'm not overly keen on - such is life, so it's all good! Most of them are very pretty. Love, gratitude and blessings to you and everyone reading this. 🙏🏽❤💐
I also don't like the page of cups in lightseer, it is also my significator. And the Queen of pentacles is also my favorite card of the deck.
Also the bag for Unfolding Path is perfect! :)
I thought the same thing.
Hard call. Unfolding Path seems lovely but Lightseers is such a solid workhorse.
Thank you sooo much for this. I have had the lightseers for years and picked up the unfolding tarot today and I am in love!!!!
A Tarot and Oracle pairing that works well is the Unfolding Path Tarot with the Herbal Astrology Oracle😍😍😍
Very fun comparison video! While this increased my appreciation for Unfolding Path, I just find Lightseers much more visually appealing on the whole. (The vibrancy, the color palate, and the immersive, borderless backgrounds probably have a lot to do with that.) On some of the cards that you tied for both having all the elements you like to see, I was going, "yes, BUT look at how much prettier the Lightseers card is!" haha! (for example, the Lightseers Three of Cups with that gorgeous twilight sky they are staring into is so much more evocative to me!). While Unfolding Path has more facial expression on the whole, which could be advantageous in some ways, in other ways it could be distracting with some characters feeling "over the top." The biggest plus to me of Unfolding Path is the greater age and body diversity, but making all four queens and the empress look very young really annoys me (especially when their male counterparts often look older). Honestly, if the queens looked older I would probably spring for it OR if it was available mass market I'd probably quickly pick it up. But considering Lightseers was $13 on a Hayhouse sale and Unfolding Path would be $80 with shipping...
Oh yeah, from a purely aesthetic perspective, light seers is just visually stunning.
But a reading perspective is also really important. And I think that's the way Lisa approached it. A card can be absolutely gorgeous, but if it doesn't convey the meaning of the card in a way that feels right for you (especially when doing a side by side comparison) then it just doesn't work.
I just love both of them and for me i feel such different vibes from the decks that i think i would reach for them to deal with different issues. If i had a hard decision or really needed to get to the crux of the matter i think i would pull the Unfolding Path but if i had a family or emotional issue or a self love or self care issue that needed nurturing i would pull the Light Seers. Just personal preference but i am glad to see you keep both 😂
I feel like the light seers deck can be read intuitively... Gonna be my next deck for sure.
I'm really glad I found this video, Lisa! I had pre-ordered the mass market Unfolding Path (being released in August) based on another of your videos but now I've seen it close up - and particularly side by side with Light Seers - for my tastes there's no comparison with LS which is one of my favourite and most used decks. I do love the crone High Priestess in the UP (I'm 66) but I'm not a fan of the aesthetic generally. The LS is stunning - so vibrant, so full of movement and depth of meaning. I'll be cancellling my preorder of UP and preordering the mini LS (also out in August) instead. As always, love your content!
The white borders in the unfolding path tarot just bugs me.
I hadn't seen The Unfolding Path Tarot before. It's really beautiful, and a lot of the faces are so amazingly expressive.
The only thing that kind of kills the vibe for me is all that stark white around the edges of all of the cards. I just wish it was perhaps a neutral cream color, or even a dark grey. It's just too harsh for my eyes with all the bright white on every card. But I realize that is simply a personal preference of mine, rather than there being something "wrong" with the deck.
It would be cool if they did a reprint in the future that eliminated the white. But even if not, I can't disagree that the artwork is amazing! ♥️
Kinda feel like This Might Hurt fits this niche too, love both though and feel like they both will find their time and place with you 💜
Could you share where you got your wand?
I actually find the Lightseers Justice card, while cool in the reversal concept, a little problematic. The reversed version looks more "evil" or like a villain character and there is a long history as villains and evil characters being cast with darker skin as their "good" or more positive counter characters.
I hadn't actually considered that perspective before... to me, it always looked more a reflection of the same person through dark water - almost like a dark scrying mirror or something!
My take on the Justice card has been more of a "two sides to every story" and the Light Seer deck reflects that (pun intended) 😏
Thanks now I want the The Unfolding Path. Lol like I have enough decks. 😂
So the infinity symbol in strength being over the lions head...in light seers its the tattoo on the persons arm and it also lines up above the lions head. thought that was interesting.
Not sure how I feel about this video 🙃 I loved the experience of seeing both decks side by side and I hadn't seen the Unfolding Path all the way through or even quite so close up, so thank you for that. Can't say that I agreed with all of your choices, but that's a natural thing for us all to have differing preferences. I was disappointed that LS didn't win but I guess it is such a strong, bolstering deck for me that a loss would always have been 'a shame'.
I totally agree with your choice on the Page of Cups though. It's always an awkward card for me anyway because it's so different to my personality, but particularly in the LS. The U.P. there is so adorable, I'd have him as a grandfather any day [I can say that because the only grandfather I ever knew passed 24 years ago 😁]. And I do prefer the UP for the Queen o Cups and the Death Card.
I may have face palmed a little on your shock over the fact that the tied piles were the same.... 🤪
Oh and the word you were searching for re the death card was 'harbinger'!
Thank you again - I love seeing the things you pick out of the cards.
Final thing (sorry this is long) one symbol that I love on the LS Ace of Wands is the hair decoration being Indra's Net. I love the notion of being able to tap into the infinite within every bead. I was so glad when you chose that card over the UP there.
I own both of these decks and they don't feel or have the same purpose in my collection. Yes, I yelled at the screen. CHILDLIKE EMPRESS! I've been toying with the idea with doing my own YT channel so maybe I'll do a VR to this matchup.
I just bought my first deck Light Seer’s, I’m still learning the meanings and trying to get a feel for them. I do love them. I’m not even thinking about a next deck of tarot yet, I think an oracle deck will be my next purchase. Thanks for your content. Much love ❤️🔮🥰
I have both and I call them my Brady Bunch decks. They complement each other so well I use the together.
It's the Childlike Empress!
Sooo, without watching a lot, I have a general feel that the Unfolding Path will win. I love them both equally, but the Light Seers wins in terms of guidebook. Chris Ann's writing, I mean wow😱
the tied piles would have to be the same size, by definition.
I have had Light Seer's on my wishlist for awhile and for some reason I just can't decide if I want it. Some images I love and then some just bug the heck out of me. I was hoping this video would help me make a definite answer, but I think I'm more undecided.
They are both beautiful. Im naturally drawn to the colorfullness of light seers though. I would have to read with them to really know.
For me these two decks have a similar energy in some ways but totally different in others. I think I would reach for one some days and the other, other days. I cannot say totally in which ways they feel so different.
I do have to say the light seer has a bit of an edge for me personally in that the kings feels more about the inner manifestations of the energies and not like conforming business men. Still probably do want to have both.
I own both decks. I was really excited when I saw that there was a person in a wheelchair in Unfolding Path but then I was disappointed that there was only that one card with disability rep and no others.
Yah :( Very good point. The best deck for showing a wide range of ability levels IMO is the Numinous Tarot - I'd love to see that more often too!
@@Lisa_Papez Amanda Lovelace's Believe in Your Own Magic Oracle has some disability rep in it so I really hope her upcoming Tarot deck will too! 🤞
It's so interesting to see how opinions differ. I LOVE the unfolding path but I really dislike its tower card, and it's one that won for you.
Would anyone consider combining cards to make one deck?
Liza about the tie pile: I feel like they ate pretty even.
Me: it’s because it’s the tie-pile. They should be tie😂
Not fond enough to have either deck in my collection -- but they are both beautiful with a great expression of what each card is saying. I can see how either deck could act as a clarifier for the other, perhaps always partners in a reading, mood or question dictating which is the primary, which the added interpretation..
Why, i think they're both very nice. ( Nana's answer)
I don't have Unfolding Path but that 3 of Swords may be my favorite version of that card. Light Seer's is a good solid deck for me and also has sime of my favorite card images like the 8 of Swords. Looking at this I don't think I need the Unfolding Path since I have Light Seer's but it is a really tempting deck.
Yay! We keeping both! Phew.. 💖
Ahh I didn’t realise you’re a fellow Cancer ♋️ I was so interested to watch this when it popped up as I can’t imagine ever getting rid of the LS tarot! Really excited to see more of the unfolding path though.
Wonderful video BTW. I gained alot of insight from it. Just wondering if you know of where your wand in this video or a similar looking wand can be purchased.
That page of cups 😍
i'm so sorry to say this but the unfolding path feels like a blatant rip off to me in a way, even more so now that i have seen both decks side by side. i have a hard time respecting it for that reason. i do see why people love it, but i feel it should be mentioned. anyone else feel that way?
Hmm, I don't see it that way at all. There are similarities, but they both go in such wildy different ways through so many of the cards! :)
@@Lisa_Papez maybe it's a matter of perspective. i do think that there are differences, and some of the cards are really stunning and original, but overall it just feels that way to me, as if some cards or elements were copied and then tweaked in a way; down to the colors of the same card, the hidden runes, the FONT; the body postures. some of the cards are just so obviously almost the same to me. it just feels copied. but maybe i could see it as a tribute :D in the same way as there are "rws decks" that aren't rws but clearly were inspired by it? i don't know. it's just like that one deck which looks like it was done by danielle noel but wasn't; i just don't know what to think of that. otherwise, as i said, i can see why people would love the unfolding path; if the similarities aren't something you are bothered by, all the better!
I don't see it as a rip off. Its still RWS but theres so many subtleties in the Unfolding Path that i have not seen in other decks such as the Aces, the elemental symbol is a tatoo on the hand which is great. The Judgement card really makes you think about the meaning which is quite enlightening when you find it. I also love the older man as the page of cups cos no other deck i have uses an older person for the page and it makes you think of 'young at heart' which i love. It has an intense mind energy too which the Light Seers has a nurturing heart energy so for me is used for completely different purposes. So I find it as quite an innovative deck whereas Light Seers just broke the RWS mold
Gigi I completely agree! That was my take as I was watching.
I, too, was struck by the clear inspirational relationship between many of the Light Seer's cards and the Unfolding Path cards. It would be interesting to ask the creator about it. The creators of the Spacious Tarot, for example, openly acknowledge that their deck was inspired by Wild Unknown, and the influence is easy to see in many of the cards. So many of us are seeing the connections here, I would like to hear the creator's take for sure.
Keep them both...LOL I am keeping both of mine! I love them both. Awesome video. 😍
Wow - I see the similarity - but the artwork gives me different vibes. One bold artwork while the other more hand sketched. It really would be a choice of today's mood. I bought Aunt Lily's tarot because it reminded me of Light Seer's but came in a smaller travel size. I reach for it more than Light Seer's now due to size and card artwork interpretation. Agree - LightSeer's King of Pentacles is best one of all my decks - my Soulmate! Send him my way if you meet him. ❤Path's 6 of wands reminds me of the song "Man in Motion" about Rick Hansen who traveled the world in a wheel chair to bring awareness to disabilities and spinal cord injuries. (There's your missing spotlight for the card - 🥰) I had never seen Path deck - it's a nice one. It's hard to compete with Light Seer's - it's a great beginner deck and so spot on.
I also was tempted to but Aunt Lilys tarot but i had already ordered and was waiting on tje Cosmic Cycles and thought Aunt Lilys and Cosmic Cycles may be too similar for me. Will see what happens once i get to know the deck better.
I love your this or that's! I do not like the light seer's. I cannot relate with most of these people, they seem to live in a different bubble than me. And I think the "Grey-haired" people remind me of a summer some years ago, when it was hip for young people to dye their hair grey. There are a handful of cards that I love, but right now, I don't plan to buy the deck.
The unfolding path looks great! On first sight I love most of the cards. I would like to talk to these people. And the supposedly aged people really look like aged people. Though the deck is not in my price range, I'm happy that it exists and that I've seen it!
For me, the light seer's is the winner. I think it came down to the fact taht for me, thr unfolding path feels more like a rws clone. Where as the light seer's feels more unique, doing it's own thing. But that page of cups in the unfolding path is hands down my favorite page of cups.
Also everytime you said the name of the card instead of the deck name that won I chuckled a bit 😅
Out of the 2 decks I loved more of the Light Seers cards
Not sure how you feel about magpie deck but I feel these two decks could be added together where you use your favorite cards from both in one deck.
I love all the flowers in the Unfolding Path. They speak to me.
Great video :)
I love my Light Seers ❤
I though they were alike too! I love seeing that I’m not the only one. I feel leike I’m not crazy now 😂😂😂. For a few readings what I did was I pulled the cards with LS and then pulled the matching cards from UP to see if I saw the same or something different and I found I get different hits. For me LS gives me general and UP specific or up close and personal getting all up in the business if that makes sense 😂. So now it’s been marked 😂😂
