I'm not much into the practice of Tarot myself, but I'm very fond of the aesthetics of some of the decks. I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this series of LENGTHY videos! Nice collection!
My Gosh Elle?! I am going to have to take a day off just to take a look at what you've got here!...I see you also have a second video with more card decks...Okay, I will watch these videos a little bit at the time, not all at once...great sharing though, thanks!
I absolutely love your videos. They are beautiful. I love the respect and passion you have for the Tarot and it encourages me to want to study them. I hope to give Tarot readings for a living and watching your videos make it worth the process. Thanks Elle!!
Awesome video, impressive collection, and some great, not-often-seen-on-here decks. Tarot of the Holy Light looks really intriguing, so does the New Age, the Cheimonette Tarot is quite beautiful, and your own decks, just loved that second one! So looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you. It's nice to see and hear someone is just down to earth and is interested in sacred geometry as well as tarot. So excited to see more as I continue on with my studies.
aww thank u so much, that's so cool to hear- glad I don't come across like a crazy person lol! thanks for watching and I totally wish u all the best in wherever your passions lead u with ur studies! xo
Thank you for sharing this video of your decks. I really enjoyed the aesthetics of the tarot cards and your input on them. Looking forward to watching the other videos you've posted. Cheers! :D So much Fun!
Elle this is a freaking amazing series of videos. You have a gorgeous and fascinating collection - thank you so much for sharing. I also really adore the way you manage to be both reverent and hilarious at the same time ("gets all neoplatonic on your ass!") - it's a great blend
LIke at 6:34 it would be so great (but a lot of work now) to add the name of the deck in text onscreen, as you go through. For some of us hearing is seeing the name as you start the deck would be awesome. And yes I see the list or just add in the timestamp to the list-so if we wanted to jump to say "Daughthers of Moon," we could...
oh its probably my all time favorite deck! so yes definitely good vibes, but at the same time it's not for everyone. but to me it's a very positive and warm deck :) thanks so much for watching
Thank you for sharing. Going to look for your review of the Tarot Noir. I read French and own the deck but not connected to it yet. A lady did a reading for me at a medieval festival using this tarot.
The Cheimonette reminds me of the Intuitive Tarot...not sure you can find it new anymore. Nice collection, though. I have a lot of these, and am inspired to maybe look for a few, though I stopped collecting a few years back...I've always wanted the Masonic, but have never been able to find it at a semi-reasonable price. I have the original Tarot of the Dead, before the author had it mass produced, she had a small limited edition deck made. It's tiny, with very thin card stock....but I love it!
Great vid! I was lucky - originally, Daughters of the Moon was in black and white, like the BOTA tarot. We were supposed to colour it in, or leave it. Took me 3 months to colour, in pencil. I was disappointed when the colour version came out. Very dark colours, I felt it was ruined. Maybe I was too connected to my own interpretation. Anyways, I'm very happy to have both of them. Happy times :)
What kind of bird? Damn, it took me forever to figure out that was on the computer. I was freaking out! lol Ok, this is the first time I've watched a Tarot collection video and I couldn't identify most of the decks by their backs. Interesting!
I felt the same way, and I know a LOT of decks! she has an interesting collection - not the same old mass produced decks everyone else seems to go for!
Eleanor Boyce's work looks so beautiful, it is sad that, from what I can tell, when she died, her work was lost, or rather not carried on... it would be great if I publishing house could get rights to her decks.
ok 6 minuets in and enjoying the vid - really interested in building up my tarot collection and I can see a few decks here I havent come across - The only thing I want to point out is DON'T listen to this with head phones - my kids are watching something fluffy on the TV so I got headphones on - every time the parrot or cockatoo (some where in background) goes "Squeek" my ears go "Ouch" so be careful.
+Heather Alexandria Thanks so much! Unfortunately i dont have the digital images anymore, i made them a while ago. But all the images r just from google. I do have a couple videos up of how i went about making them, if ur interested, check em out. Thanks for watching xo
Heya Elle! I'm hoping you can help me out with a bit of a puzzle. My father passed away almost two years ago and up until tonight I hadn't "heard" from him. I dreamt that he showed me a tarot card and said one word. I can't remember the word, but the card was the 9 of cups. One I don't remember ever seeing. I read all Rider Waite Smith or clones and this was a pip type card. Nine sweet little golden chalices in a 3 x 3 pattern square in the middle of the card. Light colored cardstock with writing and symbols at the top. I don't know if it even exists...The card felt very feminine. I don't suppose this rings a bell?
omg i love all those tarots!!! Do you think you could tell us which of the decks are "safe for work" bc some are not allowed to get anything with naked people or gore on it
thanks so much! yikes I'm really not sure, the only deck I'm certain has no nudity/gore at all is tarot of a moon garden. lol wow I never realized, but most of my decks have at least the nudity. the wild unknown comes to mind too, but a few cards might be considered gory. good luck :)
Do you use all of these? How do you decide? What was your first deck? I'm thinking of getting either the Psychic Tarot Oracle deck or The Witches Tarot (Ellen Dugan) for my first tarot deck. I know the John Holland Psychic Tarot Oracle is not a traditional tarot deck but people have raved about how accurate it is. Your thoughts??
yeah for the most part they all get used- I definitely have "go to" decks for certain people and situations etc. I just let my intuition guide me- and that would be my advice to u for picking out ur 1st deck (that's so exciting!!) but just go with your gut. You'll be way more excited to learn more if u love ur deck. My 1st was the daughters of the moon tarot- a very non-traditional deck but I felt so connected to it that it spurred me on to learn more and more! thanks so much for watching and good luck. let me know how it turns out :)
I'm also drawn to the Tarot of the Vampyre because of what everyone has explained about the guidebook but even though I've been into and drawn to vampires since I was I kid (I'm in my 40s now), the images in the deck that have beings with horns are really unsettling to me; don't know why. But damn I really want the guidebook because of everything people have explained about being able to create your personal tarot portrait to really know yourself and why you do things, and the tree of life spread which I want to do with my oracle deck. Have you ever bought a deck because of the guidebook alone or if the deck just didn't sit well with you did you just buy the guidebook separately? I'm in such uncharted territory :(
+hlb0111 u can get the fools dog tarot of the vampyres app also, it has the book in it. that's what I did, cuz I wasn't really into the deck but wanted to read the book. :)
hey love- I just realized I never answered u, I decided to look into doing a whole video cuz I think it'll be cool, but for now here's one blog, that I've found interesting and helpful. it's a rough subject bc there's bits of info all over the place. etteillastrumps.blogspot.com/?m=1 good luck. and I'll get a whole video up pretty soon. :)
oh they're all listed in the description too, but it's "Agni Roerich" -btw that's totally my next deck review!! it's such a beauty. thanks so much for watching :) xo
I Have a Question - The daughters of the moon, the most Wicca / Pagan deck. and with respect, I do love the very female power and depiction but does anyone know if there is a more balanced / or male-ish version of a Wicca style deck - I often feel that Wicca (my faith) can be very vocal about being more Equal, yet in practice become far more Female centered. so with deepest respect and best wishes to the sisters of the world, is there a more male friendly Wicca way ?
Hi I love your video's so very much!. I was so inspired by this video that I ordered the Tarot of the Holy light. but I have to place a warning here. The deck I received looks nothing like your gorgious deck! The cardstock is very cheap and flimsy. The pictures are very tiny and I can allmost count the pixels. The cards have huge ugly white borders. The deck is not cheap and I also purchased the book. Shipping to Europe made it even more expensive and I had bad luck: Dutch customs picked out my package to add import tax to the price. The book seems very good and I want to use the cards for study purposes. But the quality of the deck is very very bad. I want to place this warning because other people may want to order this deck as well. And they will certainly not get the deck that you show in this video. Anyway: I look forward to work with thie book. Thanks for telling us about your gorgious decks. I also love your perspective on the tarot. Your knowledge and your style make me green with envy. Keep going.
thanks for ur kind words! but oh my goodness im so sorry to hear that, especially about this deck, cuz it's just a fantastic deck. when I got mine it was all they had available, just the 1 version. I'm about to do a good review, so I'll definitely look into what happened and let everyone know... thanks so much.
I'm not much into the practice of Tarot myself, but I'm very fond of the aesthetics of some of the decks. I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this series of LENGTHY videos! Nice collection!
This is Tarot Porn!! You have an amazing collection 👌
You have a beautifully unique collection! So many decks I've never even heard of, gorgeous!
You are so knowledgeable about the roots of your decks! Such a pleasure to watch!
My Gosh Elle?! I am going to have to take a day off just to take a look at what you've got here!...I see you also have a second video with more card decks...Okay, I will watch these videos a little bit at the time, not all at once...great sharing though, thanks!

Do you use reversals? If so, how do you reconcile using cards that aren't reversible?
What you said about the Wild Unknown Tarot is exactly my reasoning for not getting it. .
I see it everywhere but I think I'm going to go buy it now.
New subscriber✌ love the energi you have ❤ and wow to the collection
That pop culture deck is absolutely perfect!
lol thanks so much! I friggin love that deck- it was so much fun to make! thanks for watching :)
Thank you for sharing. Going to look for your review of the Tarot Noir. I read French and own the deck but not connected to it yet. A lady did a reading for me at a medieval festival using this tarot.
oh how cool to get a reading with that deck at a medieval festival! wonderful. thanks for watching :)

Goodness gracious! I have alot of decks but none from this video! However, now I have more ideas for decks! lol On to the next to viedos!
Where are you from?

Omg...loooooove the weeping angel back. Go Dr. Who
Love the Basque tarot. Primitive art but it's perfect.
For a minute there I thought it was my bird! Lol! They always know when you're on camera so they can make weird noises instead of talking.
lol they sure do! haha gotta love em tho :) thanks for watching xo
Yup loving your collection!! thanks for enabling lol 💖😉💗🎉😂
lol I'm an enabler! Thanks so much for watching! :)
WOW! Thanks for review!!!
Eleanor Boyce's work looks so beautiful, it is sad that, from what I can tell, when she died, her work was lost, or rather not carried on... it would be great if I publishing house could get rights to her decks.
Omg I think I have aspirations to be a collector

I would honest to goodness pay you money for your specific copy of the golden tarot of klimt.
Hello! Thank you for this video! Do you know where you can buy the Tarot of the Holy Light? I can't find it anywhere😭
I love your self-made decks! Any chance you would pass along a digital file so someone can use them as well? Great video, I love your collection!
+Heather Alexandria Thanks so much! Unfortunately i dont have the digital images anymore, i made them a while ago. But all the images r just from google. I do have a couple videos up of how i went about making them, if ur interested, check em out. Thanks for watching xo
You should do a review on the decadent dream tarot deck!
thanks! I definitely will, it's one of my faves for sure! :)

THE TAROT OF THE III MILLENNIUM IS AN INTERESTING DECK. I AM STIL WORKING WITH IT. CAPS STUCK.
omg i love all those tarots!!! Do you think you could tell us which of the decks are "safe for work" bc some are not allowed to get anything with naked people or gore on it
thanks so much! yikes I'm really not sure, the only deck I'm certain has no nudity/gore at all is tarot of a moon garden. lol wow I never realized, but most of my decks have at least the nudity. the wild unknown comes to mind too, but a few cards might be considered gory. good luck :)
