    I really feel the 'I imagine I'm a different person vibe'. I have bought so many decks for a much cooler version of myself. A year later, I look at it and go "Who the hell do I think I am? Not this person, that's for sure." Then I hang onto them for another couple years anyway. Hush Tarot is one of those decks for me. And agree, it is disjointed, though beautiful.

    I like the look of Oak, Ash & Thorn and Smoke,Ash & Ember but I kinda don’t want to buy them because I’ve bought hyped up decks before and I don’t use them. Like the Light Seer’s Tarot. I got it because of the hype and it’s been in and out of my thin ice box more than anything. Your other dragon deck with the missing card reminds me of the Mythic tarot which I have somewhere (no idea where 🙈) it has two of one of the sword cards but one is missing so I stopped using it. And the seasons of the witch oracles…I get you. I like the art work and I’m doing the whole Pokémon thing gotta have them all. But I wish the cards had keywords and the little poem was in the book 😪

    PS: If I am remembering right I think the artists in Haiti who created the Ghetto Tarot were given a flat fee but not royalties. Thus probably under paid and exploited. The creator denies this but I also felt really weird about this deck and got rid of it.

    I so resonated with this video! 5 of the decks are decks that I strongly wanted to buy, but resisted. Now I'm glad I did, and your attitude toward them helped explain why I resisted. Your sense of humor is fun. A couple quotes: "ran into actually having this deck." I know that feeling. And "it shocks even me," about who you really are. Yup.

  • @Frakkyfire
    @Frakkyfire 5 місяців тому +2

    Thank you for mentioning the misuse of “thee”, “thy” and “thou” in the Seasons of the Witch decks! I felt like I was the only one who noticed it and it bugs the ever loving crap out of me! It was the only reason I was hesitating to get the decks because aside from that I love them. I’m surprised that a mass market publisher wouldn’t have had an editor check that the language was actually correct, but then again they might not have had someone on staff who actually knows how to use “thee” and “thou” properly.
    SO glad that they stopped using those words and the poem style writing after the first few decks. The newer decks only have little phrases on them that make more sense than the poem style.
    (Not gonna lie though, I do still intend to have all of the decks, because my need to collect them all overrides my annoyance at some of the words… I just try not to look at those words lol)

Artwork is lovely, but I just don't connect. Same as Isis oracle and many other Alana Fairchild and all the Rebecca Campbell and Danielle Noel artwork.

    Another fun video! I think your points on the ghetto tarot (tarot of bohemian secrets) was important. I found out about the deck after all the initial controversy and decided that as long as the artists are getting paid, I felt comfortable using the deck in honor of their creativity and art. However, I think the author/photographer should have had less of her voice, and more of their voices in the deck. I felt like I wanted to know them, but she was standing in the way.

    Great video. I have loved - I mean, really really loved - the work of Susan Seddon Booker for many years, she was an incredible, psychic and intuitive artist. But her works were turned into oracle decks long after her death, so whoever did it has kinda shifted the emphasis of her art. It’s like after you die, someone decides to keep their pasta in your fruit bowl, and then tries to persuade everyone its not pasta, it’s fruit. It doesn’t work. Maybe they just wanted to keep her work out there …. Or maybe it was the money 🙄. But please don’t dismiss her art because of the oracle decks.
