I have. I used to converse with one in a house I used to live in. She was playful and a little naughty. I put firm boundaries about by young daughter. She didn't like my husband. He was abusive, but she never said or did anything to him until he was cruel. He waited until the night of my birthday to ask for a divorce. He hadn't spoken any other words to me the entire day. He was unemployed and staying up all night watching tv and then passing out on the couch. That is when she would start terrorizing him. He asked me to ask her to stop because she liked me. Begrudgingly I did. She didn't listen. He asked me to ask her again, and I told him no. Obviously, it was something he was going to have to work out with her. She never stopped the entire rest of the time we lived there, which wasn't long enough if you ask me. 😂
I’m trying to paint my own deck, I had a question: did you put any kind of finish on your cards (over your pic/paint) so It won’t rub off while continue shuffling. I’m not sure what to use. Thank you 😊
I have to be honest, I never finished the project so I didn't test anything out. My plan was to do one sided lamination when I was finished to seal in the collage. Other options might be some type of art sealer, like a low gloss or matte medium, although depending on your climate it may cause the cards to stick. Hope that helps give you some ideas!
i just love yer insight and perspective, so unique. it really resonates. i also really love the decks you showed, especially the whitchy one...reminded me of some very raw old pictures, something mystical and mysterious about them. thank you so much for sharing yer wisdom Leanne.much love to you! <3
I am so happy you enjoyed my wisdom chat & decks. Certainly something mystical and mysterious about that deck for sure! Thank you for taking the time to comment! Much love!! 💖
Thanks for your honest review. I have stopped buying Rebecca’s Campbell decks after the Rose Oracle, to me it felt SO similar to her WYL & Starseed Oracle and it felt off, almost like rushed and this one feels the same (and I’m sure her new Ancient Stones is the same). Thanks for expressing your honest opinion, it takes courage to do that nowadays when people are so eager to jump at your throat if you don’t have the same opinion as them.
I am so happy you appreciated the review & thank you so much for your comments. Honesty is one of my core values so it means a lot 💖 I can certainly relate to what you are saying about the decks. The Rose oracle did grow on me but the newer decks certainly have an off feel, although I am not sure where the disconnect comes from. Much love to you!
@@leannealigned I am glad you kept your integrity, it’s really important. And I feel the disconnect you feel comes from your empathetic nature, you “feel” that something is maybe lacking integrity and wasn’t done with good intents, that’s how I felt with the Rose Oracle, I opened it and found it very cute, put it aside and opened it again the day after and I was like Hold on, something doesn’t feel right, I couldn’t explain it until I looked at my other decks. You have an empathetic gift, you have integrity and the courage to keep it and I’m really admirative. Much love to you too ♥️
Hi, Leanne. Thanks for this video. I relate to much of what you said. I think that the coffee cup analogy is so apt! I also collect coffee mugs. For the same reason as you, I need mine to be microwavable. I also was gifted an coffee mug warmer (basically a tiny hot plate), and that helps as well. Back to cards, I'm more into oracle decks than tarot cards. Even so, several decks that you showed on camera intrigued me. Re Tarot of the Vampires: I recommend watching the video called "Tarot Cards for Modern Vampires" on the RU-vid channel by Maven of the Eventide. Elisa, the host, interviews the man who wrote the guidebook. It was very fun to get the "inside scoop" on that deck. All of your offerings look amazing. I feel like I've found a kindred spirit! Keep up the good work! 🙂
Oh yay! I'm so happy what I shared resonated with you. It's always exciting to find more of "your people". It's a joy to have you here & thank you for the video suggestion. I will have to tune into that at some point 💖
Thank you for this! I wasn't sure if I wasn't missing out on the Healing Waters Oracle. The artwork is pretty, but the guidebook needs to be good too for me to buy a deck. The Ocean Dream Oracle is one of my favorite oracles! I subscribed!
Yay! So excited to hear that you decided to stick around! I am happy to hear that the deck review was helpful to you. The Ocean Dreams is such a good deck!! ❤️🔥
i caught this series at the very end.. its a challenge to make time for everything where i am in life but yer videos alone have a vibe to them i feel drawn to and find them so inspiring. love yer insight and the angle you approach symbols and tarot. looking forward to yer new ideas for the summer, and thank you so much for sharing yer wisdom with us all. much love to you Leanne <3
I can totally relate to having more things I desire to do than I have time for. I am so happy to hear that you are loving the videos anyway and getting a lot out of them. Hearing that is always so fulfilling to me! Thank you for being here and taking the time to comment!. Love love to you Suzi!
Ooh this sounds so great! I’m looking forward to summer! And love the idea of these envelopes! I truly enjoyed 78 deep challenge… I know I ended up being quiet for a while there but I still chugged along and it was definitely a more personal journey there for a bit. Truly enjoyed thank you Leanne! Sending you love, light and many blessings!
It was an absolute joy having you along for the ride Ashleigh! These journeys can get super personal so I love that you took the time you needed. I'm so happy that you got so much out of it. Sending you loads of love!
I'd love to share that! Thanks for asking! ✨ In Short, I have only worked with it maybe 10-15 times. In my experience it's not a daily draw kind of deck. I find I personally work with it for ancestor work. I enjoy the images and top key word and will often ignore the rest & leave the guidebook in the box. However, I still am not chomping at the bit to get any of the newer decks to complete the set. I'm not in a place where I want to pass it along yet, but it never made it onto a favorites list either. If for some reason I didn't have it , I probably wouldn't miss it. If it's calling to you, then it's worth giving a try. It's not a "bad" deck. & Many people really love it. I'm just personally still on the fence. I hope that helps!
I have both decks wouldn’t cross my mind to strike comparisons, they’re both unique and beautiful and work in different ways. Feels a bit like comparing crystals.You’re going to connect with a crystal in different ways at different times for different needs, but doesn’t make one inferior, just less in resonance to you personally.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences with these decks. I can certainly see where you are coming from and I love your comparison to working with crystals. I think that is the point of most reviews, to share our thoughts behind our experience of the degrees of personal resonance. In the hopes of aiding others in the process of discernment as to what might resonate with them. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to ponder this topic in this way. Much love to you! -Leanne
Nice review ☺I love oracles and I have the Work your light and Starseed oracles from Rebecca, and I have Moonchild and Starchild Tarot from Danielle. but I just don't connect with neither of these decks...both seems too disconnected, although I can understand why you connect with the Ocean dreams more...but then, I see the Mermaid card and I'm just...how do I interpret this? and I am pretty intuitive and always get something from the cards but...at least Rebecca's has some keywords, although they don't connect with the image either...so...I'm gonna pass on these...at this point it seems they are doing this just to sell something
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience! I can certainly relate to what you are saying about card image vs keywords. I have had similar difficulties with other decks from both perspectives. With the ocean dreams, it is certainly one of those decks where you benefit from reading the guidebook meaning and pulling from what you remember as you read intuitively. Having extra keywords is certainly helpful.
Not every deck vibes with every person and I love that you already have this awareness that this deck isn't for you. Thank you for watching & Sharing! 💖
I really appreciate this comparison. I have and LOVE the Ocean Dreams. To me, it was interesting that after Danielle created her deck, a year later Rebecca came out with her water deck. I feel like I have a bias over the artwork, as I am a massive fan of Danielle's artwork, and for me, the new artist that Rebecca is working with does not resonate with me. And it's not that the art isn't nice to look at. I found that with the rose oracle, I am relying so much on the keywords and what I had read from the guidebook because there was not a lot to intuitively spark with the images (even though it is pretty to look at). I love the crisp layers that Danielle creates that give such depth to the cards and often get more of a reading just from the art before looking at the words and guidebook that accompany it. I was feeling so bleh after getting the Rose oracle, I did not bother to purchase the water deck. I may in the future, but I think I would rather search for the perfect watery, mermaid tarot to go with Ocean Dreams.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts! 💖 I resonated with a lot of what you were sharing about the decks & creators. If you do find a dreamy mermaid tarot definitely let me know, as I have been on the hunt for one as well.
I have the whispers of the ocean oracle cards, by Angela Hartfield, The Oracle of the Mermaids, by Lucy Cavendish and Messages from the Mermaids, by Karen Kay. They are all wonderful, they provide a very deep reading whether tarot spreads or alone. I first bought Whispers of the Ocean and then the mermaid ones, each in a different year. They were very important with accurate messages for several of my clients and myself. Therefore, I HIGHLY recommend them! They collectively or individually can match this Ocean Dreams deck. <3
Hello Leanne! Such an insightful video, thank you for sharing your experience ❤ As for Kim Krans's decks, I keep my Archetypes deck with the other decks and I keep the book on a bookshelf.
As I was watching your video I felt as though The Healing Waters deck felt more like an air element deck. Maybe that just me tho. Also I have a couple of cool decks that have that velvet feeling to them. I don’t use them as much as I like to because I find them hard to shuffle. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Mmm yes, air. That makes total sense as Air is all about the mind. Glad it's not just me 😆 I am 100% there with you all the velvet feel, it's a giant pain to shuffle so I do find I don't reach for them as much!
Thank you for your honest review. While I understand Rebeccas message, where she was at in that moment in her life I felt like the deck was created for HER, which is amazing. I almost felt like my messages were part of her experience if that makes sense. Which wow how powerful, but not for me. Like your thoughts I was feeling like some of the imagery did not resonate with the message. I have not worked with Ocean Dreams. I am very curious.
Mmmm yes! So well said Tanya! It certainly came across as a personal deck. Which again, amazing! But didn't end up translating well. Thank you so much for sharing your similar feelings with the imagery. I always aim to be honest in my reviews so I am happy to hear that you appreciate them 💖
Flow is my forever goal! I remind myself of it constantly and try to teach my kiddos. We cannot control everything that happens to us but we can control how we react ❤️
love yer channel Leanne! iwe been binging on them throughout the day on n off :)! found you through Annie, i dont have time to sit down with my cards so listening to you musing with them is so inspiring...<3<3<3
Thanks so much for the question! I am not sure of the exact deck you are speaking of as I have many witch themed oracles. If you're curious what decks I have available for purchase you can visit my website at any time to check them out, leannealigned.com/adopt-a-deck
How much money I saved by not bying certain Tarot decks I would otherwise have loved JUST for the presence of snakes, snakes, snakes ... 😁😁😁 This phobia saved me from myself.😂🙏🕺
Leanne, you are so sweet! And I love your wishes for all of us and especially the wish that I have thought about for this dandelion challenge "I wish for you let yourself be free" - Yes! This!! I look forward to playing along with you over this dandelion journey 🌞
Living for this soothing, gentle, magical vibe. Thinking of the millions of people blowing their wish into the universe is such a deeply beautiful thought I hadn't considered! The fact that the seeds that make their way to my neighborhood are potentially carrying someones wish- ugh! I love it. I love that your wish for us felt like we were lead in meditation/ affirmation. I'm so glad you're able to do this challenge, friend.
Thank you so much Shay! It is an absolute honor to take part. I am so happy that you liked the video / musings & meditation...ish wishes. 💖 Can't wait to see what we create together next!
Thank you so much for your beautiful articulation of your creative process. I found it very inspiring and very transparent at the same time. It's also thought-provoking in the way that you have just been allowing it all to unfold with no particular agenda or stress. I so much appreciate that approach. Much gratitude for your generosity ❤
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I am delighted to hear that you found what I shared thought provoking and inspiring. Much love to you! 💖
