The use of oracles to investigate the future has been a part of the human culture for centuries and no matter how modern the world gets there is still a part of the psyche that looks to the mystery of the oracles to find explanations. This channel will look at oracles and try to understand the mysteries and wonder behind them.
I really enjoyed this. So interesting how people start. I think I got my deck in 1989 around then (maybe there was a big push for tarot then with printing?) as it was just after I left school. Interesting that the deck you showed was printed then. I never bothered with it, cause I think I pulled the death card 😂😂😂😂 and probably threw it out. Do you also remember back then there was huge decision that people said you should be gifted a tarot and never buy. you must have a big collection. 8:40 who do you watch? I don’t watch any of those tarot tubers. I have but I just float around. I think j often check on wickedmoon light. I’ve only been doing tarot since about covid. I see the tower card sometimes as anger, someone about to lose their shit. As I’m only new to tarot compared to many. I’ve floated around and I realise how I like fantastic guidebooks and also the size. I realise I only like small decks. So interesting when you talked about pip deck. I never knew what this was until I started watching RU-vid videos. My first deck like this was antique anatomy and it helped me learn tarot and read - not thinking how accurate tarot can be ❤ You are really interesting about tarot ❤❤ do you still meet ‘tarot’ people ? Interesting you spoke about having a bad feeling about tarot. I did not like occult tarot. I was looking for a black and white deck. I got this second hand and didn’t like the approach about the devil etc.
Yes, the solving of puzzles is a huge part of my practice. I think playing a challenge, like this, along with a group is a great way to get to know a more complex deck. I did a 78 day challenge with Revelation, one card a day...and it really works. Good luck, see ya round the interwebz.😊
I enjoyed seeing your selection. Thank you. I also have the Sovereign oracle and I’ve used the cards as a spread position for journaling where we can get interesting combinations.
Thank you Allan!! This was fun. I’m just starting to really study lenormand lately so I’m glad you included one in your top10. I’m thinking about getting the lilac dondorf
Confronting is a great word for Somnia ! I don’t have this one yet, I think it makes me nervous 🥴 lol LOVE this HP deck, I got it not that long ago and it’s underrated! Like I never see it around
I *LOVE* the Sovereign Oracle. It’s in my top two, if not my top indy oracle deck. I’ve even used it for full spreads when I’m not getting anywhere with tarot, tho mostly I use it as a clarifier or as a one card pull alone or in combo with my other top oracles. Sometimes it’s just the main word that speaks to me, sometimes one of the sentences, sometimes the whole card. And it’s so much oracle for so little $$. ❤ Green Glyphs is my fave indy Lenormand, too! 😊
I hope so too! This is just a long process that I want to get it going and see what happens. I can't imagine that I would not do at least some type of updates.
Thanks for the comment. It inspired me to go ahead and up date with the second part of the exercise and also I have probably two more videos coming in the series because of some stuff that has come up.
I’m so late buttttttt “You bought it!” So glad you received the schitty tarot. The creators said they may make a guidebook to have the episode reference guide to it. All for it. I really didn’t like the show at first - it took me a while to warm up to it. 💚
I love these 78 tarots but I never back anything: I am afraid of Kickstarter 🫣 So I bought the Vox arcana to get a feel for how a deck like that would read and feel.
Totally agree about the Fenestra!! I’m so stoked about Tarot of a Moon Garden coming out borderless, and if they did the same with Fenestra, I would buy it in a heartbeat. The same cards that bug you in the Fenestra bug me too 😂
Great picks. I don’t have any 78 decks but I’m hoping they bring some back out because of their new status. Paulina Cassidy decks are always on my list but I sleep on them. Take for granted and think they’ll always be around Always love seeing and hearing about your decks Allan!
The 78 Tarot publishing house looks to be busy with publishing 3-4 decks a year. I kind of have the same feeling about Paulina Fae's decks because I keep putting off getting the others because I just go to grab the original. LOL They would be underdogs in my collection if I got them.
That cat deck 😮 I was trying to chose my favourite card but I couldn’t. Which is good because that keeps me focussed. The others are absolutely feel good decks.
Right?! I would not have hesitated if it was just a tarot deck subscription. Since it looks like it is going to be predominately oracle decks I am just going to commit to one year and then see what I think.
Great video!! I liked your quick interpretations and thoughts on each card! Great side by side comparison! This deck is high on my wish list! I'm new to your channel and already saved a bunch of videos to watch later because I enjoy your vibe! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! I saw a previous edition and wanted it for so long. I love both decks and still use them routinely. The creator is great and I am on the verge of adding the Monsoon Tarot to my collection.
I think this is the fourth VR I've watched over the past couple of days that has featured the Housewives! It's definitely been making the rounds in this tag. I love the variety you have here. Such a great VR! 💜
This was SO interesting! That first deck is MASSIVE! I can be a size queen but damn. Lol! I also have the Morgan Greer but I never pick it up. It’s super easy to pick up but I’m not sure why I’m not drawn to it. The 5c tarot! Nice to see that deck on your channel. I agree with you - having the keywords on it was interesting and I thought it would be cool to work with BUT once I got a new animal deck after it, I forgot all about it. Thanks for sharing, Allan! I may need to try this out.
The deck is huge but the biggest struggle is to find something to latch on to for meanings. I think it has officially turned me off of collage decks for good. You should give it a try, but it was a lot of work.
A "Decan Walk" is where you follow the path of the astrological decans though the entire year. The twos through the tens of each of the minor suits are connected each with a ten-day period of the year. Susan T. Chang in her book "36 Secrets" writes about how for a year she studied each card during the appropriate ten-day stretch. There have been others that have done this since. I have the book and have started to read it but when March comes around I am thinking about dedicating myself to a similar exercise. The decans follow the astrological year which beings with the Aries and not the calendar year. Hmmmm... seems like this might be a good topic for a video.
I loved watching this one! Thinking g about my own un-used it’s quite hard to explain the “why not”… You tarot of Reflections video is on my to-do list for the weekend! ❤
Many times I think that a deck will be good and fun to use and then it just gets passed over. I still hold on to everything that is interested and classic so my collection just keeps growing!
Omg, I would love if you did 5 Days, 5 VRs, Allan! Awww thank you so so much for the shoutout--you're too kind 🥰 "When I post, I post": me, too. And in my experience, people are really understanding about that 💗
YASS! Authentic! I like authentic... and you? Mr Aunthetic much?!!! ❤️ "Tarot tube 'makes the world seem less lonely.'" 🩷💚🧡 and "whatever your Fandom Dorkness is" LOVE THIS! 🙋♀️ new sub here! (BTW, what are Mr.B videos?)
This was SO fun to watch and hear your answers! You are so giddy and your passion for decks shows! You’re so sweet, thank you for your kind words. I would LOVE to see you put your decks back in order. It helps me with Roman numerals 🤫 I absolutely agree with you- more deck creators/publishing companies should have a more RU-vid presence, and I would LOVE to see more behind-the-scenes of decks. I already love Llewelyn decks, but it would be amazing if they did more of some BTS stuff. I enjoy this tag and I’m looking forward to trying it out soon. Thanks for sharing 💚
Found your channel via this hastag. Loved your selections. Never thought as the next world tarot as golden dawn influenced until you pointed it out. It is a indie turned mass market deck🤎
The Golden Dawn has influenced so many decks. I love the system but love even better how others have come behind and adapted it and made it express how they see the Tarot.
Hi Allan! Good to see you. You did fall down the Tik Tok rabbit hole lol. Good to see the Cirque du Tarot on this list. The color palette did it for me too! It’s beautiful. Dawn Michelle’s walkthrough definitely inspired me to get it earlier this year. 💚
It was your reaction to the deck that put the idea firmly in my head. I had passed on the Cirque du Tarot but once it went on sale I had to get it. It is just so soothing to use.
