I want to read all of those books, they all sound great. I'm in a bit of a reading slump, my mental and physical health haven't been that great sadly. I worked with the Gentle Tarot in February, it's such a nice deck.
I'm sorry to hear friend - I hope that you are feeling better soon. 💜I find that my reading slumps tend to coincide with dips in my health as well, mental health especially.
I didn’t know about the Dirt Gems going mass market!! Thank you! I’ve been keeping an eye on the Dirt Gems for a really long time but couldn’t decide. I’m definitely giving it a try now. I would love to hear your thoughts on working with it and how you feel about using a plant oracle for the first time.
The Gentle Tarot is my FAV - it has been what I've leaned on this past few weeks with the ongoing g*noc*de in Palestine. Mari, the creator has been creating special art on her instagram page related to this which I've been incorporating into my readings as well. The Forest Lore Tarot looks really cool, it reminds me of the Great Lakes Tarot with the color gradient and some of the plant/animal choices in the cards! I'd love to hear how they compare!
I deleted IG off my phone but I'll log in on my browser soon (for a specific purpose) and I will make sure I check out Mari's art for this, thank you for mentioning it. 💜 Gentle Tarot has definitely been a 'lean on' deck for me lately as well, including - though not only - for similar reasons, finding decks that are so rooted in connection to land to be the ones that call to me most.
I am so happy you have Dirt Gems AND that it's gone MM, I think more people will get it, and it's such an interesting and deep oracle. The indie version was super spendy. It's really book dependent. MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY 🎉🎉🎉 Love Gentle Tarot, I am a forest friend... can't wait to get outside more in the warmer weather. I've been reading the Dune series and book 4 is a challenge. 😮💨 They're definitely touching on subject matter that speaks to the human condition and how belief systems have herded us into war. I find reading some of the old stuff is fun, because - we just keep doing the same shit.
Thank you!! 💜Well, my first reading with Dirt Gems (a single card plant ally for the lunar cycle, in context of a new moon reading with tarot and another oracle) and the book had me in tears. It was so relevant to my reading and somehow just got me really emotional. I will be sitting with Kelp this cycle. I have never read the Dune books, but I know my mom read the first one and my brother's read them - I should see about borrowing one when I'm down where my family lives next.
I really enjoyed your outstanding reading month with added new decks ☺ I'm glad you got your procedure over & done with 💚 I love Dirt Gems - if I hadn't stopped buying I would have had that first on my list. By the way, I bought the Tree Spirit tarot book only a while ago from Amazon. THe book is the fascinating half of the deal IMO - the deck features what look like stock images of trees & it costs a fortune to order from PS. I love just reading the book 💖💜
Thank you for this Deb! 💜 I think I will separate the deck and book in my mind and just go for the book. There is no reason I couldn't put together a one-off deck on MPC, not to sell, just for myself - of my own tree photos where possible - featuring those trees if I wanted to.
Aaaaand it happened again as always when I watch your videos, 2 more books have made their way on my wishlist. You should make commercials for books. I think 90% of my book wishlist exists cause of you. Also the Ink Witch is sooo yummy.
💜I appreciate this - I think I'd be bad at book commercials because really... I can be critical! I suspect I also cause some people to delete some books from their lists. 🤣 I have reviewed books in print though, on websites as well as in academic journals here and there.
@@aquamarine18 totally seeing that you can be critical especially since you read a lot but what I really like is that you're really good at expressing or transfering your love/enjoyment for a book if it's one that you liked.
Laura! I'm so grateful for your sincerity in this video in sharing.. I'm so glad to hear your procedure went very well, despite the unpleasant beaurocratic stuff (I hear you on that!)... I love the Gentle Tarot too, every time I do a larger layout with it, I tell my partner that we need to book a holiday to Alaska! I enjoyed seeing your new decks and hearing about the books you chose. xx
