Your collection is simply magical. I have about 5 Oracle decks added to my ever growing wish list between this and your previous oracle collection video. I am newborn stage when it comes to tarot/oracle but I have always, always , always had this beautiful and inspiring curiosity for the occult, mainly chakras, astrology, magick, tarot/oracle, palm, crystals, etc so I feel very much akin to tarot/oracle because of how strongly it resonated with me since I was barely a teen. I remember making my own grimoires and always had a heavy interest in afterlife, lucid dreaming, outer body and tapping into opening my third eye (which I started making good progress and got that “headache” that’s usually a byproduct but I just couldn’t get passed my fear of ending up in lower vibrating levels and my rope somehow detaching or bringing something back with me.) With tarot, it’s a learning curve and I feel requires a bit more knowledge and basics about the deck, their keywords and meanings. Oracle decks however I find myself really resonating more with as for me there’s not this overwhelming feeling that I need to study and really put work in the cards, I just do a spread, which went from one card to 3 as I’m not trying to do too much too soon and just let the cards speak to me and call for me when needed (and let me tell you, every single pull, every single pull has caused goosebumps and was almost as if the cards themselves materialized and were meant for me personally. I have pulled strength three times, as well as a few others twice and I honestly am so happy to delve deeper because these little cards have had such a positive, uplifting, inspiring affect in just the short time I’ve been pulling them and it’s magical. Your channel has taught me so much already, resonated with me and emptied my bank account a little from your deck reviews lol. Any simple advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated and in return one day I hope to be able to then pass on my advice to others interested in tarot. Thank you so much, lovie!
I have GREAT news! Gabi is releasing Wyrd of Sarah Howard again right now and you can preorder!! the borders are gone and the single keywords are going to be more phrases now I believe?! GO GET IT! hahah
Oh wow! thank you so much for this comment! I had no clue, I'm not on other social media so never hear these things. Needless to say, I rushed right on over to pre-order!! I adore Gabi's artwork - Thank You!!
The Outgrow Yourself Tarot/Oracle is really special! I have a crystal deck that I love for daily draws, but that radiant crystal deck is next level. I wanted to love the seed and sickle oracle. The concept with the 2 oracle books was amazing, however, I just felt it didn't deliver. As somebody who is an expert on 5 element theory and therefor yin and yang, I didn't feel the messages were different enough at all in each guidebook. The Wisdom of Hafiz is a pleasant surprise, I added it to my wishlist. I have wisdom of the shadow, but not wisdom of the feminine yet, now you make me see that I need that one too!
For a while now I've felt like there something missing in my oracle collection so I've been watching all your video's to see if I can find what's missing. This video has what I think has been missing, The Illustrated Herbiary, Crystaliary and Bestiary decks. Just looking at them briefly just spoke to me. Now I just need to watch your tarot videos to see if I'm missing something there. My favorite deck is the Forest of Enchantment and I'm trying to find something that speaks to me like the Forest of Enchantment but with a different "spirit".
I've been eyeing on Lord Ganesh Oracle Deck since I saw a walk through a few years ago and just haven't hit the button for purchase. I have Season of the Witch Samhain and Beltaine. Seed & Sickle, out of the pile you've shares in this video. The Season of the Witch: Mabon is coming out in 2023. Am having a blast watching your collection!!
I love my Illustrated decks. I have the versions you get in the back of a book and separate. I am less particular about cardstock than many. The smaller size and thin cardstock make them the perfect size for my small hands. I combined them and have no problem shuffling. I also seem to be a gentler shuffler than you are lol. I also don't bridge. I mostly use this set as a focus when I do a weekly reading for myself and draw tarot cards in a spread based on what I get from a single card and the guidebook entry for that card.
Wow!!! I can't wait to see your tarot collection. Watching these videos is so informative which sounds a little weird. Hearing why you might get rid of a deck while you're going through your collection helps me think about what's on my wishlist. I love that you're putting them in alphabetical order. When I was little, I would rearrange the family movie collection and my mom's history books into alphabetical order and drive the entire family crazy. But they always found what they were looking for faster. 😁 I never got thanked for that, though.
I'm so glad these are helpful for you! :D Yesss I like to keep an ongoing spreadsheet of all my decks so I always know what I have -- and since THAT is in alphabetical order, it just made sense to share my collection in the same way - to my nerdy brain anyway. :D
Dragorsi has a second deck to go with the Zombie Oracle, called Utopia. Kinda the after all the crap of the Zombie Oracle. It's really good and has the same back so you can make 1 deck out of the two separate decks. I got the pocket size of both. 😊
You might put Woodland Wardens head-to-head with Botanical Inspirations, as I'm finding they have a similar vibe (vintage botanical) and both pair with similar decks. Urban Crow is another that pairs really well with more muted decks and does an amazing job at matching crow behavior to the keywords. Also, I think you might enjoy Sign of the Times oracle to pair with your modern decks.
I watched both parts and am surprised. My oracle collection is pretty big but the only common ones were Surrender, Reclaim, Tao (and "I'm Here" - if it ever "gets here" - Ha) I have been considering Seed and Sickle for a long time. Do you think the card stock could be written on (for key words) or would it just smear? Curious which deck you think you will use more than it? (I don't think you stated it). It's so fun to see what others use. The Cilla Conway art is appealing too.
I actually have been working with them individually - just storing them together. LOL I only ever used them as an actual mega deck a couple times for exactly that reason: overwhelming!
I noticed that too! Amazon has had it in stock and then the second I decided I wanted it it's gone. Some Barnes & Noble in my area have it in stock though so if you have those (or BAM) near you you might check there!
