The Pholarchos Tarot - My First Impressions

[@DebraDarkandTwisty]

I'm so happy you have this stunning deck Simon, & gifted by such a kind soul 💕 I got it after seeing Nancy & Mendy's reviews & I adore it =) xx

[@BoyDiviner]

I want this deck so badly!!!!!! The Tower is amazing. I'm glad the people in your apartment complex + your neighbour are kind of trustworthy!!! I also love Nancy; she's amazing and what a great gift! Her walkthrough convinced me to get this deck (I was still unsure about the art of the minors) but I'll be waiting for the guidebook released next year. Thanks for giving us your first impression of this deck.

[@the_hermits_cave]

BoyDiviner No problem and yes I’m very lucky with my neighbour finding it in time!

[@dorysintuitiontarot4894]

Looks like this beautiful deck made it on to my wishlist. Thank you for such wonderful walkthrough.

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome Dory, I hope you are well 🙏🏼

[@jaimekelly7722]

Interesting as always to hear your thoughts. I believe the King that reminded you of Queen E is supposed to be Rachel Pollack? I’ve hung onto the deck. I had told you it just didn’t resonate with me, but I’m not willing to give up on it yet. The art work is just so stunning. I figure it is just timing and I’ll try again with it. Thanks for your time Simon. 💕

[@the_hermits_cave]

I think it is too, yes I would hold on to it for sure 🙏🏼♥️

[@apoorva4851]

Artwork is so powerful.. Yes, it also reminds me of soulcards..

[@Ejcfarley]

My copy just arrived today - I ordered mine from Core Magick Oussima in the EU - it only took a week or so to arrive I think which was really good! I love it sooooo much! Such a beautiful deck! 💓

Emily J C F Diamond Thank you for reminded me of Quasima, so much raster when you live herr.

[@metulj227]

Thank you for sharing with us, very powerful!

[@amberglenaman397]

Hello Simon, I just ordered the Pholarcos Tarot. Thank you for reading from the LWB. I can't wait to dive into this deck. All my best, Amber

[@spookyladyUK]

Fabulous deck those faces look deep into your soul x

[@1888starz]

Wow, such an exquisite soulful deck. So colourful and such beautiful faces. Sketches throughout are amazing and I love this deck too. A real collection of art at its best. Thanks for sharing and enjoy them.

[@Netty5200]

I just received this deck the day before yesterday, at the initial review of this deck I was just blown away. I had it on my desk to go a little further into it today and your video came up!!! I am complelety in awe of this deck, it carries so much energy, light, love, darkness, dreaminess to it. Thank you for your walkthrough. (By the way - here in the states shipping was SUPER fast)

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you, I’m pleased you love the deck too 🙏🏼♥️

[@musingsbymascha]

What a treasure of the deck from such a wonderful friend, Simon! And receiving it as a gift from beautiful Nancy must make this tarot even more special! 💙
I was so happy to see you love the Pholarchos, one of my most powerful tarots! 😊
The quality of Bicycle Playing Card airy linen cardstock is wonderful! I did giggle when I saw which deck Nancy’s husband gifted you! 🧡

[@the_hermits_cave]

Lol I’m so pleased he did, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure! 😍

[@ParanormalWhispers]

Hi there i am glad you got this one as well it’s amazing spiritual deck I hope that you will absolutely enjoy it because I love it and what i like is that this is not based on wsmith tarot because it is really unique

[@TwoRocksTarot]

I absolutely love this deck, it is such an ethereal deck that gives such wonderfully personal on point readings not only for me, but it really hits home for my clients too, it seems to hone in on their needs, even if they are unaware of them at the time of their reading. It’s particularly good for deep soul work types of readings, I have never used it for light type readings, (although I’m sure it be fine to do so) but it really hits home for the deeper types is what I have found in the year or so I’ve had it. I trimmed off the borders on mine and wow the artwork it just pops along with edging it in black.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Oooh do you have pics?

[@TwoRocksTarot]

The Hermit’s Cave I’m not sure 🤔 I just checked my walkthrough of it and it is trimmed and edged in my video 🙃 ua-cam.com/video/jS_MWdHmRbE/v-deo.html

[@elineeugenie5224]

Lovely video as always Simon. Edging might be pretty in a cornflower blue...
Re Playing Cards, did you look at Ana Cortez' oracle?
Pholarcos looks very good 💜very atmospheric
Book! The old goat's foot, wooow

[@the_hermits_cave]

No, I haven’t heard of that oracle!

[@houseofhag]

Beautiful deck! Great for dream work. I did move mine on in the end, due to the minors. FYI - UK/EURO customer can buy this deck from coremagik.com in Portugal. Great service and no custom charge, yay! Xxx

[@donrongemini2829]

I am super jealous of your collection. I'm trying to see how many decks I have that you also have. I see the Light Seers Tarot. I love the 6 of cups in that deck, that is the reason I bought it.
PLEASE tell me you have True Black Tarot!!
I do not have nearly as many decks as you have but I have more than a few. True Black Tarot is unlike ANY deck I have ever seen much less own.
I love your videos and I have a feeling your videos will led me to buy many more decks.
Thank you.

[@donrongemini2829]

SpellCaster's Tarot is also very beautiful. I just bought those today.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Yes I have True Black, it’s an exquisite deck! I enjoy Modern Spellcasters too. Have fun with it. 😉

[@ShastriAkella]

Part of me wants to trim out the borders and let the art pop out.

[@chelle1256]

I received mine yesterday Simon it gives me goosebumps, lovely walkthrough.

[@ArnellAndo]

Thank you for this exquisite walk through of Pholarchos Tarot. I was deeply moved by your detailed observations & beautiful descriptions. I'm excited to share it with Carmen & our FB friends. I hope you won't mind if we include it on Carmen's page? Much gratitude dear sir, You're so incredibly soulful.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Not at all, it would be an honour 🙏🏼♥️

[@valt8744]

What an interesting deck! I was struck by the map-like quality of the early numbers in the minors, almost as if they were a record of how to travel that landscape of each element for the face cards. The 10s were all faces weren't they? And of course the aces were faces. I'd be interested in laying out all the minors in sequence and comparing them. Thanks Simon!

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome lovely 😊

[@inspirationspsychology]

So thrilled you have this deck. Nancy certainly is an amazing Soul 💖

[@the_hermits_cave]

I couldn’t agree more 🙏🏼♥️

[@conjurebear]

Ooh. I’m looking forward to this one.

[@theesotericexperience6653]

Nancy is the best. Awesome deck!

[@jackiejacaranda888]

Wow, lovely images/artwork 😍 Are the Knights called Trails rather than Trials ? (whatever that means)... it is tiny font ! Great walkthrough 🥰💜

[@wickan2229]

Such a beautiful gift, and a lovely looking deck wow😍

[@JensBalancedTarot]

I was very interested to hear your thoughts on this. I love, love love the majors, but wasn’t sure how I felt about the pips. However, after diving into the 3 of Cups in last week’s Tarot Play Date, I decided I really like this unique deck. What a lovely gift from Nancy. 😍

[@the_hermits_cave]

Jen's Balanced Tarot I’m very blessed to know some wonderful people, I count my blessings daily 🙏🏼❤️

[@dragorsi]

Tbh I'm not sure I'm ready for such an emotional deck X;D

[@the_hermits_cave]

Understandable 🙏🏼♥️

[@Jo_-_-t.a]

That is the first Emperor card that resonated with me. Really powerful and in his highest vibration is the dude who works with the universal law. Oh man. I want this deck now, only 4 cards in 😖.
The magician makes complete sense, when I think of Mercury/Hermes the planet and messenger of the Gods... they are neither male nor female, but can utilise the power of both for good or ill.
$80 shipping? Another lifetime me thinks. 😂

[@the_hermits_cave]

Good point! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@Ouassimagik]

Hi dear one, I have this deck in my shop and the shipping is really affordable, if you want to check it out : www.coremagik.com

I just ordered this deck!

[@traceel.8194]

This is so beautiful! I can’t even say how many times I said “that’s my favorite!”...

[@traceel.8194]

I couldn’t find it anywhere...I’m in the US maybe not available here.

[@Marizeye]

I wonder if you actually managed to read with this as a tarot - I'm thinking of the minors? Or do you use it as an oracle? Was the booklet good on the minors anyone?

It's a beautiful deck, I just ordered it from Ouassima in Portugal so it was actually quite reasonably priced and even with shipment charge to the UK. Hopefully it'll arrive soon! I have first heard about this deck from Kasia's (from Tarot Map) video: ua-cam.com/video/Y6UZWc6lfLE/v-deo.html&t
