Something Tegan said here really clicked with me! I also have the “tell me what to do and I will do it that way” mentality (I grew up as the most obedient child ever, lol) and when Tegan pointed out that tarot is an exercise in getting out of your comfort zone with that, I suddenly realized one of the major struggles I have. I keep feeling like I need to use the rote/traditional way of reading, so when the traditional way isn’t working for the matter at hand I feel like it’s just me being bad at tarot. But maybe I just need to let myself stray from the rigidity of “this is how I’m supposed to do it”.

The edition of the Foragers Dtr that I have is the muted purple. I call it the gloaming edition. Gloaming is my favorite word to describe twilight, the times when the fireflies come out.

Tarot aux ramures sauvage = Tarot of the wild antlers

Hook, sandlot, the color purple, Shawshank redemption, Who Frames Roger Rabbit omg some good memories from those movies. Speed is my fave move ever. @lisapapez I knew that quote as soon as you said it 😆 A Hallmark Tarot movie would make me watch that channel outside of Christmas time 😂 @andi do you have the Meryl Tarot? @Dani I got your first Beetlejuice quote right away 😂 Also I didn’t exhale until I stood up at the end of uncut gems and I was like “that was stressful “ and the stranger next to me was like “ omg so fucking stressful!” And we got into a whole conversation about how stressed we were 😂😂😂😂 @marlena I had your back on goodfellas abundance clueless too 🤣🤣🤣 Apparently I’m a dork. 🤷🏾‍♀️@dawnmichelle these are so fantastic. Thanks for bringing the laughs to your channel every month! 💖

There is fear in my wallet everytime I watch your show n tell videos! I want aaaaall the beauties! ❤

Great information. Thank you so much.

I love Into the Lonely Woods Deck…I had to Google the Labyrinth movie, lol. I love watching your videos, I appreciate the time and energy you put into your videos, they are amazing. Question - WHAT kind of gem is that on your table - LOVE!!!

I also struggled a bit with pairing the dark crystal tarot but I thought it could work well with the faeries oracle considering the brian froud connection!

Loved the discussion!

I have now added Perfume to my unlimited audiobook to be listened to. I have ordered about four more books that have been gushed over by y’all….

Ooooo I think the dark crystal tarot could be super cool with the Mendelevian Oracle!

Great🎉

Perhaps Maia Toll's Crystallary/Bestiary/Herbiary Oracles would go nice with the Dark Crystal cards? They might be a bit close in style or same/same-y but the colours might work.

Thank you!🎉😊

Oooh loved yoir Haindl pairing so much. I don't have withwr deck but dannnng they seem so energetically aligned

I think Brian froud oracle deck would go great with the dark crystal tarot

Merci très interessant❤

Christine Rose Elle here on RU-vid has an interesting video where she explains how she specifically works with the witch sister tarot. Loved that. I use it like a guardian deck to tilt my reading in a celtic witchy direction. Almost more as an oracle than a tarot or together with another tarot. 😊

I pair the Northern Animal with Magick Cottage oracle. Thank you for a lovely video.

With your love of Alice in Wonderland, have you read The Looking Glass Wars books by Frank Beddor? They're a really interesting take/ reimagining of the Alice story. I love the idea of the Into the Lonely Woods/Labyrinth Tarot pairing! Have you tried pairing the Dark Crystal Tarot with the Froud Fairies Oracle? Seems like they might work well together.

Ilove your declutters... and I sighed in relief when you picked up Steampunk and said its not going anywhere. 😂

@28:05 would you class this art style as under fey? the grotesque? The tarot Nuages paired with the tempest tarot gives me captain hook vibes a neverland. Just missing a tiktock croc.

Love seeing all the beautiful deck pairings ❤. Such an interesting pairing for the Haindl - I’ve never thought of the Divine Nature. I’ve wanted the Haindl for a while, but the big RP books are a bit daunting. I just wish they had chosen a different card for the cover art for the Divine Nature! I also have the Magical Spirit and, same as you, prefer the writing inside the art. I was so surprised at how good it was.

A really interesting point about pip decks! I’ve always hated them but your way of viewing them in conjunction with more scenic cards makes me actually curious about playing with them.

Please tell me ………What is the tarot card deck that has the illustrations as if you are in the card?

I absolutely love your deck videos! I’d love to see (if you feel like it) your decks that have a shamanic qualities, as well as ancestor decks since we are coming up on Halloween. or maybe you’ve already done them?

@18:05 In my most elocutant days - I'd call these 2 decks as opposing sides of the hierarchy of needs. want want want need need need Great pair for the haindl

:: Witch Sister :: wanted to love this deck, but all of the artwork is exactly centered (largely) on the cards and too many people!

Which notebook brands are you using?...because I don't really see any bleeding and/or shadowing on the opposite pages and that is important to some of us. Would like to check them out.

Is "Connecting With Your Tarot" book sold on Amazon, the same as "The Tarotbound guide" you talk about in this video...do they have the same information? Or are they different?

Beautiful intersting thank you

I absolutely love that you brought this tag to the tubes. Great additions and super fitting for your practice. I’m impressed how you repped for this.

This is such a fantastic discussion, I can’t wait to see where this series goes!!!

I have had such a strong pull to the tarot for years but I just haven’t gotten into like I feel I should. This video has made me think maybe it isn’t something wrong with me but I’ve just been approaching it wrong. This will be great to consider as we come into the next year. Thank you for helping to open this topic up more

Hi Dawn and Tegan, I am back ......would be great to walk through decks that you both own and discuss what each of you sees in the card. Like how would you both translate that card into words. Eg: due to the colour in a particular card you may feel like this....which then brings this..... into the reading (Like Red today means passion for you, but in this particular card you would go with anger and explain why) Gosh I hope you understand where I am coming from. I have a small group of woman who meet up at my house and we meet fortnightly to discuss a particular deck. Its like a deep dive into that particular tarot deck. Sometimes the decks have different words on it for the majors etc. But we all bring to the table how we see that card or share how it makes us feel. We also use the guidebook sometimes if we feel the creator has easter eggs in there for us. But its always so interesting to hear each of our points of view etc. There were decks I had never really bonded with until I was lucky enough to see it through someone else lens. There were decks also that I never was able to connect with before or after...but at least I knew it was time to let them go. So I could replace them for something I did love more. Every one sees walk throughs which I just love watching. But to see others share back and fourth what or how they see it in a card in a shared space. It so exciting and refreshing. Again I would be guessing you ladies would be bringing your spin on it through numerology as well, so that would be exciting to me. Also the ladies who meet at my house to play tarot like this. We hardly ever get through a whole deck at any one time. As there is 4 to 6 of us at any one time. Tarot isn't meant to always be rushed so I wouldn't think you would have to try hard to rush through a deck for a sake of a video. But again. This is just an idea. And you wanted idea's so I thought I would share mine. But you do you like it always should be. Take Care....Terri from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘 💜 🙌

Hi Dawn and Tegan. I would truly love you both to catch up and speak about numerology and you thoughts on each number. I know RWS (self taught) and I also reading intuitively. I couldn't, no sorry, wasn't able to connect with the RWS version (original) where men were in robes and stocking from another time and era, and where most of the cards to me looked like there were so many lines in the artwork. Well...thats how my eyes saw it. I got excited when I first saw the Light Seers Tarot and the Everyday Witch Tarot hit the tarot world. Because for the first time my mind could go crazy and run in many direction due to the art work. Real people in real scenes and doing things I understood. This art style gave my mind, the opportunity to go more "free range" so to speak. I was like a chook running around in the card finding so many easter eggs (different ways of seeing things) It was magic. I know a little about numerology...eg. (1)-seed, (2) bond, (3) birthing of the bond etc. But thats just basic stuff. I would love to know more about your personal thoughts. How to stretch it further. Basic would be great to hear about from you both but also how you Play with it more. I love the topic you spoke about today. And I totally understand if its to personal for you to share your views on numerology. Thats fair. But I did want to ask....as it never hurt to ask. Loved this ladies. Thank you both so much for sharing your personal thoughts. I found it very interesting. Terri from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘 💜🙌

I've ordered the Tigger version on pre-order and I'm so excited for it! Pooh has been major comfort media for me my whole life and the interpretations on the cards are wonderful (9 of Swords as the Heffalump dream is particularly genius I think).

Love the format. When you were talking about the three of sword, Dawn said „three is a growth number“ and Tegan said „it’s about creativity“ I was thinking about how fun it would be if you two discussed numberology - which I also consider a nontraditional approach to tarot. Anyhow, looking forward to more of these videos!

Loved your video and the great pairings. I have some of these decks and am looking forward to having a play. I just ordered the Lilith Oracle to pair with my Tarot of Vampyres. Lilith Oracle is back in stock on Etsy, so I quickly grabbed a copy.

This is such a great conversation! I have OCD and for me using non traditional tarots has been so much more beneficial than a fixed system. It allows me to explore my spirituality, but without having to operate within a prescribed system (which would exacerbate my more unhelpful thought patterns) 💚 looking forward to this series x

So glad I saw this and jumped in with gusto to hear this conversation. I am such a fan of both of you and as a newbie tarot reader you've unraveled some of my dis-ease about my approach to reading. As example, the recent "Good fortune Tarot" guide book has confounded me - somewhat, but as Dawn has extolled Barbara Moore's writings - I so wanted to be able to connect too. Now that I have heard Dawn explain how she "learned" tarot from the numbers and elements and not the RWS method I can approach Barbara Moore from that angle and with appreciation! Also follow Tegan's videos consistently -- as flora and fauna tarot and oracles make up the lion share (wink) of my decks. Some decks are like field guide flash cards in a way - but I also know generally the folklore/medicine characteristics attributed to the plants and animals depicted. I love to use the Brady deck or the Druid Craft oracles and get Rachel Pollack's or the Carr-Gomm's interpretations.

my favorite series <3

Love it! My Half-OrcCleric/Fighter that I have been playing (AD&D) for about 20 years now would have minimal loot to drop. I however, always seem to have a fully packed Tardis whenever I leave the house ( actually a TARDIS laptop/book bag) 💖💖💖 I may have to VR this as well! It was so much fun to watch!

Using numerology to read the minors really expanded the meanings for me. Then when I brought Tarot of the Abyss into my collection I was over the moon to have the choice for the 3 and 10 of swords. I love what I call study decks re the Mary El, Dreams of Gaia, the Wildwood, Tarot of Vampires et el… yes some are based on RWS but really they go their own way and the guide book is an essential part of the deck. They certainly help to open up to more in depth meanings but ultimately they are not the same as say the Universal Waite and Darkness of Light. Loved this conversation. Thank you so much
