I first picked up a tarot deck in 2003. All these years later, I don't even remember what specifically sparked my interest or drew me to it; all I can remember is that I knew it was something I wanted to learn, understand, and work with.
Through the years tarot has helped me answer life's questions, navigate its challenges, and grow and develop in my self-understanding. I believe it is a powerful and profound spiritual and psychological tool and sharing it with others is one of my true passions and joys in life.

Hey Sara, I have one of their decks as well and I love it…I am not super comfortable with the marseille deck… I will have to do a review of this de k on my channel…😊
Thank you soooo much for the video…. I have this de k and love it… I just recently made a review of this deck on my channel and enjoyed it very much. I am a subscriber and enjoy your videos much…😊
Hi there… thank you so much for the video, it inspired me to purchase some of this decks and I plan to review them on my channel as well. I just subscribed to your channel so I will keep watching!
Beautiful! Given that you like Helianthus, I can’t help thinking you’d love Sailor Shikiori Kin-Mokusei. It’s a bit more orange, but the orange you get when you mix pink and yellow, rather than red and yellow. It’s pretty wet and has a slight silver sheen
Sounds like a pretty lovely time was had by all. I was just reading below what @LarkandLegend said about Madeline Miller working on Persephone's story -- super excited about that as I've been working with the Tarot of Persephone's Garden and love that story. Thanks for sharing your May faves!
Soooo much agreement with Juli on preferring Circe to Song of Achilles. Like by a mile lol. I super appreciate that SoA is a retelling that finally offers the much needed, super obvious (imo) queer lens for that myth, but the prose and narration in Circe are just so much easier to fall into. Imo anyway. Oh! Did y’all know Madeline Miller is working on a Persephone retelling now? Has this come up before? So excited! The mental image of just so, so, too many plants in Sarah’s plant deck duo readings, also 🤣 Also super intrigued by that first indie horror read from Heather! Indie publishing, just as a concept, totally fascinates me. And ANY book or movie that shares DNA w Event Horizon? Sign me up lol. Also I am so jealous that you audioread Jurassic Park! That’s been on my list for ages because the film is also SUCH nostalgic gold for me. All those scenes you mentioned, plus the raptors in the kitchen. Love it. Fantastic lol
I love when my worlds collide. I knit, crochet, cross stitch (novice) and some sewing. But I do better with patterns and instructions. Except for crochet blankets, those I just put together stitch patterns I like. 😊😊
Brains are so fun! I struggle to learn any new skill without seeing it. And definitely for hand stuff, I really need to see it done to feel confident I get it.
I loved seeing everyone's creations! ❤ I love Robin's hats and dolls -- absolutely fantastic. I can knit and have crocheted precisely one thing, but tendonitis makes it hard (somehow cross stitch is less painful). My grandma, who is turning 97 next month, taught me knitting as a kid. I especially love everybody's wisdom around crafting -- use a pattern or don't, play around, squares can make anything, just have fun.
This was such fun -- I too love Robin's freewheelin' attitude toward crafts because following directions can be overwhelming and intimidating. I like the playfulness and that you all enjoy the meditative aspect.
loved this! i really feel like tarottube (and most people in general) are so much more creative than they give themselves credit for. really love that robin brought up that making a deck is a creative pursuit. 2020 sucked but i loved seeing people discover their creative side. id love to see that same boom of creative passion permeate tarottube!
I learned with Robert Wang's Golden Dawn deck (a Pip deck with ugly Pips) and I had no book but the LWB. After a while I got the Thoth and the motherpeace and the RWS, and books for them, and I must say the motherpeace really clicked for me, and the Thoth was great too ( I had a book by Akron and Banzhaf for the Thoth). The RWS didn't at first, it took me a while despite reading several books, but some cards never made sense to me, why they should mean what was in the books. I saw them differently, but wasn't confident enough to just go with "my "meanings. So I read with my other decks and Margarete Petersen mostly, until decades later, and suddenly I could read RWS too (maybe because my confidence to trust my own numerological and elemental meanings was better by then).
Yeah learning to be able to apply your own meanings is such a challenge sometimes! Even with some of the books I recommend, I don’t always entirely agree with all the takes on the cards (like the seven of swords description in Kitchen Table Tarot is way too narrow imo, just as an example)…maybe the truest best advice for beginners is to take everything from books as suggestions or jumping off points for developing your own meanings.
Also highly recommend T. Susan Chang's 36 Secrets and actually doing the decan walk really brings the minors to life. Great topic ladies, always love seeing you all 😊
Court cards are always such a struggle…i love decks that rename the court cards to something a little more intuitive, like the Tarot of Oneness or the Naked Heart just as a few examples.
I learned on the centennial one and light seers , the Llewellyn one helped me learn a bit more on tarot , terra volatile has been a really good one to read with to for me , the guidebook has helped me to dig a bit deeper into my tarot journey, I'm hoping to do a deep dive of wisdom of Pooh tarot and the gentle tarot these next few months
Not y’all making me wanna buy some of these decks 😝 also, I totally started w wild unknown as a beginner deck (because I liked the art) and it was a horrible beginner deck! The art is so removed from RWS educational materials, and the WU guidebook itself is (imo) so useless lol
Always good to catch you three. Some great learner advice here. I love hearing folks interpretations of the cards still for the exact reason discussed. They’re often far more varied reader to reader than I think learners are led to believe sometimes. Which perhaps helps relaxing into the play of interpretation rather than feeling like rigid memorisation is the way to go.
Absolutely! And also there’s nothing like seeing how multiple cards can get put together into an overall picture or story in an actual reading…that’s the part of reading that’s kind of impossible to learn from a book. 💖💖💖
So sorry I missed you today, especially because I'm in the process of writing a review for a local metaphysical store about decks to get as a beginner if you don't want or like Pixie's art. I'm taking a look at two U.S. Games decks: Old Style Tarot and Star Maiden Tarot. Thank you for sharing your ideas and thoughts!!
So glad I found you. Such great recommendations in this video. Like you, I grip a fountain pen in such a way that the Vanishing Point is very uncomfortable. I took your advice and ordered the parts for my new Franken-pen. Also, like you I love the Hongdian Knife Blade. I have it on the Hongdian N23 Blue Rabbit-another inexpensive and beautiful pen with a terrific nib. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you so much!! The Hongdian Knife Blade is just great…I actually just picked up another one (on an N7) because I enjoy it so much. Hope your frankenpen works out for you!!
Glad to know I’m not the only one who thinks Chocolate Brown is a bit odd-it’s so different from the consistency of basically every other Diamine ink I’ve ever tried!
I appreciate when you describe the ink’s wetness and flow because I’m discovering I really prefer wetter ink! But not all places describe the flow, so thank you! So very helpful❤
@SunsetBoughTarot Exactly! I am new to the hobby so I'm experimenting, and most of the time I can't tell if it's the pen, the nib, or the ink I don't like or like.
The autumn leaves color may be based on the type of tree in your area. In Ohio there are trees that turn that shade of bright red in the fall and its really stunning standing out against all the orange and gold/yellow leaves. I’m enjoying watching the swatch video while doing work. 😊
You have a lot of fantastic inks. Vanness sells white lightening that will help with those dry inks. Just use the absolute smallest amount humanly possible. More and likely I will rewatch this video and add inks to my wish list. 😄
Thank you so much!! You know what, I bought some White Lightning a while ago and put it in a drawer and totally forgot I had it until you made this comment 🤦♀️ I’m going to try it out with some of those dry inks!!
The zerner Farber tarot is much better now in this size without all the overpowering borders. Yes. I had it in mind for a while but I got completely thrown off by the looks of them as they were . No my want passed. It's like "BORDERS" .....I don't get borders. More than not they're unnecessary & often a total put off for me. I've edged a couple of my decks but it's a hard job to itself. It's very time consuming. But it improved my connection with those decks I did trim. Thanks for your video. Hope you enjoy that tarot.
For the Zerner-Farber, the giant edition is worth picking up for the guidebook! It's different (much better) than the one that comes with the new edition.
Diamine polar glow…I may or may not have just purchased that and quite a few other samples of some inks you swatched, lol. Can’t help it, or myself, lol.
OMG Unicorn Blood 😍 Hmmm stinky ink? No thank you 😅 Love the peacock blue color of the Ku-Jaku. Fuyu-gaki has legit become a fast fave of the samples you gave me! Oooh Diamine Meadow 😍 Borahae 💜Okay, this was legit visual ASMR, and I've saved this to my FP playlist for future reference 📝
The circles, some of them with the shimmer, look like little paintings of planets. I can see how inks and nibs can be a creative person's rabbit hole. I can imagine writing childrens stories and drawing with these inks. Thank you so much for sharing. In the UK there are not as many ink producers, nor do they sell sample pots of their colours. Do you match up and ink with a tarot/oracle deck?? If you do, is the colour and/or the ink feel? Take care, stay hydrated. 🎉
Little paintings of planets, I love that!! I really do enjoy swatching, it’s so soothing to see the pretty colors go down on paper. I have never matched up pens and inks with tarot or oracle decks but now that you’ve suggested it I am considering it! 😆💖💖💖
One of the greatest things about De Atramentis Document inks is that you can mix them together and create new colors. I do not recommend using too much white ink. Maybe it's the sample I got but mine was incredibly thick!!! But it's super fun to play with it and mixing colors. The consistency of the inks evolved great on the mixed color.
