Deck Review: Wildwood Tarot (+Trim) 

Trinity Source ty

+Blair Mirth I had the Druidcraft first as well and ended up having to have this one. I intend to work with this deck with the Wheel of the Year for 2016 :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for taking the time to watch it!

It’s quite a powerful deck and system especially if you lean into what it is doing!

It's such a stunning deck, I use this as my very powerful and personal deck for setting intentions and such, love it! Congrats on picking a lovely one!

You are very welcome :)

Rayla SunGazer :D I'm glad you are loving it so much, I do think it is fantastic and I am VERY happy to have picked it up! ~Kelly

You are very welcome, thank you for taking the time to watch! :)

Bursleygirl ;) it's well worth it in my opinion and I spent a LOT of time going back and forth on this deck and originally decided to get the Druidcraft instead, I'm really glad I came back to it! ~Kelly

I know, it's an oldie but a goodie!!! I hope you enjoy it!!

Cuilfaen I do love the Stones in this deck too, Cuilfaen, as well as in the Chrysalis Tarot and the Pentacle suit is definitely not usually a dealbreaker for me either. I really do love the setup with the wheel of the year a LOT because it really does, for me, show the flow of energy between the elements and the suit in a very visual and natural cycles way! ~Kelly

Wild Moon Tarot I definitely agree, I had looked at it many times but just didn't quite "work" until I really understood it as it's own system and it really does help me learn about the Wheel of the Year! ~Kelly

+Cate Lyn It's a very powerful deck, it's own system for sure :)

fatima nayeli You are very welcome, Fatima! I have had my eye on the Arthurian Tarot and understand that it is quite different than the RWS! ~Kelly

I have the arthurian which is lovely ♡

You are very welcome, thank you for taking the time to watch!

This is a really hard question because they are very different decks. The Druidcraft is a workhorse deck, just get down and do readings and bam. Wildwood is it's own system, it is really focused on the Wheel of the Year and doesn't follow the RWS meanings in the minors much of the time. For READING, I would have to pick Druidcraft, for setting intention and working with the Wheel of the Year, the Wildwood :)

Ahhh thank you :)

I BELIEVE it is the full unabridged book from my understanding!

@@TheTruthinStory Wow thanks. I'am pretty convinced now 🙇

***** lol you have NO idea how much I had to cut out just to get it to even THIS degree of thoroughness LOL, I just go on an on and on but yes, I think scissors are in the same suit as Swords ;) ~Kelly

Chris Campbell No :) Libra

Most decks are related to the rider-Waite tarot deck. It’s a great deck for beginners ✨

All of November we're going to be looking at this deck and the concepts of the Wheel and the wood :D And I have never heard that one about how I sound, LOL :D

Omg! That’s who it is!! I kept thinking how familiar her voice was. My mom used to watch Roseanne 😝

@@tripleleotarot2416 how crazy we are here so many years later. Oh how times have changed so quickly

I'm afraid mine are trimmed so I don't know them :/

@@TheTruthinStory Thanks for the response :) I got mine in a couple weeks back and am all set. I've actually gone and trimmed mine as well. Just a little too big for my hands otherwise. I just need a corner punch now....

You are very welcome :D

Aw, I am sorry for your experience! I have definitely had that same experience on decks, I have a trimmed and an untrimmed version of the deck right now and love them both. One deck I trimmed, Paulina Cassidy, I believe, I never ended up keeping it. MOST of the time it works well for me but sometimes not.

@@TheTruthinStory Thank you for your kind words. I prefer no border by far and didn't realize that it might not work on all decks. I trimmed the Shadowscapes tarot and even though it's very small I love it much better. The cards gained a lot of space without the border. But it doesn't work for me for this deck at all :-( Now that I'm thinking about it, The Shadowscape tarot are all 'zoom out' pictures and have enough space around the characters. The Wildwood, on the other hand, seems very 'zoomed in' and the trimmed cards feel like there was something cut off...

+AnneLien1987 It's on Amazon from £30 to ridiculous prices of £3000+ ! I found it on Ebay and the Bookdespository for a lot less though.

In my country it would be 200,00 R$ .. 30 is nothing really

***** Ah you have the Greenwood and the Wildwood, very nice! I know there have been some changes from the Greenwood to the Wildwood so it's not an exact reworking. I do have the Wildwood Tarot app as well so I'll have to compare the court information, thank you for pointing that out!! ~Kelly

***** I only wish I had the full size Greenwood - maybe one day it will be re-printed :D Until then I have my small home made version to study. I actually loved the process of printing them and gluing them together - even though it used up all of my colour ink! I really appreciated your thorough review of the Wildwood - it will always be one of my favourites!

+Sam Wright I was just telling somebody that I need to do a video on reversals, I will put that on the docket for this week! But the nutshell is two-fold. When I say I don't do reversals I mean that I don't physically shuffle the cards to come up upright and reversed (upside down cards). This doesn't work for me personally because it interrupts the flow of the reading for MY brain. I believe that the 78 card system is balanced between light and shadow aspects and doesn't need a full other set of reversed meanings, that's my personal take, I don't disagree with people who use physical reversals, just in my personal practice I don't find it necessary. However, I do see cards in shadow by the question that is being answered, the position of the card (ex., if the sun turns up in something that is hindering or needs to be let go of), and also by intuitive "feel." I hope that makes sense. It doesn't have to do with positive and negative, the 78 cards have darker aspects like the 8, 9, 10 of Swords, 5 of Cups, 5 of Pentacles, and so forth, all on its own without reversals. It's a tool, how we use them is personal so I don't negate physical reversals, I just don't use them :D (sorry that was a big nutshell, video coming!)

I appreciate you taking the time to explain, thank you xxx

+Sam Wright You are very welcome :) ::hugs::

Much love xxxxxx

I'm just getting into tarot, what is a reversal?

I do find they are helpful in this deck as its not a RWS but generally I am with you on keywords :)

Wow, good to know, thank you!!!

Niamh Emerald I'm from Brazil and it costs over 10 times here.

I'm in the UK and it's cheap
