Today I wanted to share with you some of the decks that I’m considering rehoming. Because I have quite a few decks in what I lovingly call my “purgatory box” I’m going to be breaking this video into two parts.
In this first video, we’ll be taking a look at some of the decks that I have really enjoyed working with over the years, but discovered that there are other decks in my collection that perhaps fill that space better for me.
You can find all the decks I’m rehoming on my website: bohotarot.com/preloved2022/

Although they have Tarot and Oracle in their names, I don’t believe the Mysteries of Mary Tarot and the Weavers Oracle were meant for what we generally use tarot and oracle for. They’re meant for contemplation, meditation, and introspection. I don’t think they’d be as profitable for the creators, however, if they were called Weavers’ Archetype Deck, or Mysteries of Mary Stories. About your Witches Wisdom Tarot, Mixtress Rae somehow renamed the cards in one of her decks by painting over the title and rewriting over it. That’s what I’d do.

@kristenvincent3622 2 года назад

With the “Witches Wisdom Tarot” I would love to see a mod video on it, both to remove the title/number issue you have and to take the size down. As you said it’s a mass market deck, and not an expensive one… it would be nice to see a more challenging trim. I’m looking at trimming a few decks with similar issues for art placement/size/titles… and it’s a little intimidating.

@samrichards7579 2 года назад

I love watching deck decluttering videos because I constantly struggle letting go and it's helpful to hear others opinions and justifications. As regards the Witches Wisdom tarot, you could scan each card into your computer, change the numbers and then print out on photo paper or the card stock of your choice. And then you can add the backing of your choice. It is long-winded but fun, and even if you decide not to print them out, you then have the lovely artwork saved in digital form to look at whenever you like, without keeping the deck. If I am decluttering, I always keep digital copies of my favourite cards - it helps when letting go of a deck you struggle with.

@ladysmall9853 2 года назад

Regarding the decks where you only like 1 or so cards, part of my welcoming process for decks is to scan every card into my computer so I can print them for my grimoire. This means that if I move the deck along in the future I still have acess to the artwork for whatever I want it for in my own practice.

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

That's such a great idea, I might do that with my favorite cards! 🙂

It’s so informative to see what people are letting go of from their collections and why. I really appreciate your candid thoughts on why some decks may have to leave your collection.

@thrivingselfcarerenee 2 года назад

Maybe take a white gel pen and white out the numbers of the Witches Wisdom Tarot first to see if it will even work for you, before you go to all the trouble of trimming it. If it doesn't work that way it won't work with the titles cut off.

@ultravioletpisces3666 Год назад

Am I the only one who thinks witches wisdom looks incredible to work with ? It seems… mind expanding

@lauriemadsen9051 2 года назад

Regarding "witches wisdom": it seems like maybe instead of cutting off the titles (which would lose a lot of art and I think make the deck very difficult to work with) it seems the problem would be fixed simply by putting white-out over the numbers on the majors and then writing in the "correct" number instead for (e.g. 6 instead of 16 on "Love"). And then, when you're looking it up in the guidebook, if the number you've written is large you'll know it will be near the front and if the number is small you'll know it will be near the back. In fact, I think I'm going to do this with my copy because it will make it easier to draw on my base knowledge of tarot and actually use this deck!

@ProjectRefinedLife 2 года назад

I understand what your talking about in regard to the Mysteries of Mary Tarot. I don't think I'll ever get to a place where I can take out a card and understand or remember the story but it's so beautiful. For now it's a deck that I'll pull one card for meditation.Also, you have a deep connection to The Green Witch Tarot, maybe just let Witches Wisdom go or chop it up and have fun with it. 😁✂️ Thanks for sharing.

@calypso_lazuli 2 года назад

I never bought the Mysteries of Mary, unfortunately as much as I literally am so physically attracted to it and have been for years, because I knew I was never going to use it and the price point is ridiculous… now that the Mysteries of the Black Madonna came out I’m like 😳😳😳 I want to get it but I just know I’m going to spend $200 on a deck that I won’t use!! It’s a tough and overall frustrating feeling.. I would have bought both decks by now if they were at an affordable price range, but $200 for a new independent tarot deck that will ultimately be sitting on your shelf unused is just utterly ridiculous!!!!

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

I think when the Black Madonna came out and I saw that price tag, it honestly turned me off the decks even more. Such a shame.

@TC-rv6sz 2 года назад

@@calypso_lazuli I'm so glad to find someone else who shares my feelings about the Mysteries of Mary deck... When it first came out it was like 75-90 USD (I found some old archived webpages on it) and that is reasonable considering how much hard work had gone into the altarmaking and book-writing. Now, it seems so overpriced and inaccessible to most, at 180-200 USD a deck. To the artist's credit, her Etsy faves reveals some of the miniature items/supplies she uses to make the altars and they're not cheap, so I think it's just a niche concept that's hard to fund/monetize maybe? Idk. It's such a special art project that maybe needs a better business/marketing strategy 😂

@calypso_lazuli 2 года назад

@@TC-rv6sz 100%!! When I first heard of the Mysteries of Mary deck it had already gone up in price to $120-$140-ish… But, last year the creator had put them on sale temporarily, although they had sold out immediately… if my memory serves correctly the price began going higher and higher through time… and I totally agree with you, her work is absolutely beautiful and I’m definitely not going to say that I haven’t been a finger touch away from pressing the buy button every time I happen to come across her decks on social media 🤣😅😂 The current price is just way too high for my liking unfortunately!

It's so funny that both you and Lisa Papez are talking about letting go of the Bohemian Gothic - there must be something in the air! I have the mini version and haven't worked with it yet, but I also just snagged a copy of Madam Lydia Wilhelmina in the latest preorders, so I think I'm going to try them both in October and see which ends up my favourite. I suspect I'll agree with you, but at least I should be able to get a good price for the Bohemian Gothic if I decide to rehome it 😀 Thank you also for your thoughts about the Weaver's Oracle - I was thinking of getting it now that I'm heading into that stage of life, but it sounds like I'd be better off with one of Carolyn Hillyer's books, and maybe getting the Lantern Oracle for actual readings.

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

@monicabooth2812 2 года назад

Know what's funny? As someone who isn't super well-versed in Tarot yet and hasn't memorized the numbers of the major arcana in a traditional-style deck, I find that the reversed and reimagined order of the Witch's Wisdom major arcana makes complete sense to me. I love the process that Phyllis Curott went through to reimagine the deck and the intent behind it. I agree though, they are just too damn big, and I can see how it would be jarring to someone who has worked with an established order within the Tarot for years.

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

I can totally see how it would make sense if you’re just learning. The only issue I foresee with this deck when you’re first starting out is that every other tarot deck out there is going to have the majors in the traditional order so that might make it hard to work with other decks if this is the one you learn from. 😀 Still a beautiful deck tho!

So it's fascinating and enlightening for now. :)

@gayavicedubuisson7413 2 года назад

Hi Dawn, I get your frustration dealing with the Witches' Wisdom. I was daunted by the excessive collage work on the Voyager deck. It was expensive and overpowering, and you had to use it "by the book". It controlled one to such an extent that I could not use it. In fact the deck was bossing me about! Inspired by you, I cut off the labels and used it as an Oracle deck. Regarding the Witches' Wisdom, why not white-out the numbers of the Major Arcana and decide which name you prefer for numbers 8 and 11 too. Regarding the Weavers deck, I tend to see them as Tribal Ancient Ancestor Guides, if you were to do Past Life readings. We only have the opportunity to get Mass market decks so I do envy your good fortune. of getting such cards as the Moonchild Tarot. Keep on inspiring us with your videos, you don't know how many ideas you pass on.

I have been loving your recent videos including this one where you talk about how you can love the art and everything but does it make sense for how you read or see the Tarot.

I admire your dedication to deep diving into decks to really understand and give these decks a real chance in your collection.

@ABirdOnTheMoon 2 года назад

Dawn, I just have to say it .. I love how you enjoy long sleeves too. I am easily cold so I tend to wear sleeves that are ling enough to cover my hands and whenever I look at your videos .. just makes me feel warm because I always have cold hands. Now, to enjoy the video! When it comes to the tarot of Hidden Realm .. I am quite the same but exactly the opposite. I was so tempted by Forhaxa tarot and have been for a long time. I watched the video you made about it and saw you speak about it in your monthly journaling .. but as much as I love the bond you created with it .. it’s not for me. I prefer the Hidden Realm and it helps that I don’t see them as perfect beings. I understand though where you come from because Fae energy shouldn’t be perfect imo .. The reason I prefer the Hidden Realm is purely because I see Fae energy as elemental too and I relate a lot to earth grounded dirt energy .. which I find in Hidden Realm where in Forhaxa, I feel a lot of it is fire and I don’t connect to that. It has a lot to do with the elements from my birth chart .. my dominant elements are earth and water .. and I am drown to these energies a lot because these are where I find my balance. I don’t mind few elements of fire in the deck but not for it to be predominantly. I enjoyed as I always do .. listening to your thought process with each deck. I love the tarot of Vampyre .. and I don’t read Thoth but I know it has hints of it. I can’t wait to hear about your experience with it :) ..

@straycat4427 2 года назад

Ok, your title for this vid made me laugh. And your point that we assume that since everyone else loves a deck, of course we will, really hit home. So from now on I'm going to think "it's not you, it's me" when I get a deck I don't jive with. I totally agree with you on Bohemian Gothic (boy, that admission hurts) it misses the mark for me. So many fabu Halloween-y decks fit the bill over that one. Also decks that change the names of cards, the order of cards, the numbering of cards just annoy me. Yes, I have to think too dang hard, drag out the guidebook and cause the flow to falter...no. I can't do them. I'm not surprised about Mysteries of Mary. I appreciate it in so many ways....except the ways I need to appreciate a tarot deck. It was expensive, took 143 days to reach me and leaves me bored when ever I try to use it. Sorry that was harsh, but true. Thank you for the funny, honest and too the point way you have addressed this issue we all struggle with!

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

For the Witches Wisdom tarot, maybe some white out would help? 😋 An easier deck mod than chopping everything off. I have the same issue with the deck, and am considering that solution.

@juliechen8710 2 года назад

As for the Witches Wisdom, if you have tried to work with it in so many ways but it still doesn’t work, then maybe let it go? My WW clicked so naturally with my reading style and it’s one of my most used deck (I don’t work with numerology in the majors). But if it doesn’t work with your reading style, it would be harder to keep trying to vibe with it than to let it go. I’ve been there with a deck that I love so much even now, but it just didn’t vibe with me energetically. I’m so happy that I could gift it to a friend and she has amazing readings with it.

Like we do it when we want to erase a mistake on a white page🙈 don’t know if it’s something helpful, but I thought about it when you mentioned the problem with the number :)

Dear Dawn, I have a request to make. You are one of the most viewed and appreciated knowledgeable about Oracles and Tarot. Yesterday I saw a Channel “Wolf of Coins" made a video call (4 Oracles for 4 Elements) to choose oracles representing the 4 different elements. I look for more videos with that theme and I couldn't find anything. I would like to ask if you could make a # to show us different oracles that can serve us and help represent the different four elements (fire, water, air and earth). I wish you could make it possible, thank you very much. God Bless 🙏🏻

@@DawnMichelleTarot Thank you for your quick reply. Since the loss of my mother in 2020 I began to look for spiritual channels that will help me deal with my loss. In that search you were a one of the channels that I began to see and admire for all your knowledge in the spiritual world that reflects the bundles of tarot and oracles. Should be more, channel’s like yours, because when they do some # there are channels that what to be part of the #, and do not take the same responsibility to show the decks with respect and knowledge. They only talk about topics not related to the decks, and do not show the cards for us to appreciate them. I think they should treat the issues of the decks with more respect. I make this observation with humility. I wish you all abundance and prosperity in every way, God bless 🙏🏻

I a walkthrough on those Rebecca Campbell decks and I thought the art looked beautiful but when I started researching more and got some samples of her writing I was like noooope. Bless it for the people it does resonate with but it just wasn't for me.

It's okay. I don't like the Bohemian Gothic tarot either. XD I never owned a deck by Baba Studios, and I don't think I will? The vibe a Baba Studios deck would give me is, "It insists upon itself." If that's one's jam, cool! But, yeah, not for me. :3

@TickingClocks 2 года назад

Agree with the Baba Studios vibe. Just looking at their old listings and seeing how almost smug they are about having such rare decks that people are willing to spend big $$$$ to get a used copy of kinda put me off. Don't know if my desire for Bohemian Gothic is out of genuine interest, desperation for a gothic deck with an art style I actually like, or plain ol FOMO.

@oldsoulmermaid1543 2 года назад

The reverse order of the majors in the Witches Wisdom Tarot has kept me from working with it. I’ve tried, but it throws me off and it fries my brain. Maybe it’s because I’m still very new to tarot. I keep hoping that I will be able to wrap my brain around it someday.

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

You're definitely not the only one! The numbers are quite foundational to the way I work with tarot in general so I'm not interested in adjusting that for just one deck. 🙂

I really struggle with the witches wisdom tarot because of the cardstock. So sad... I thought about painting over the major numbers and / or writing the usual number too. And still thinking about possibly trimming the cards on the bottom and Al little bit on the sides... I totally get the struggles with this deck! Oh, and I do absolutely not connect to the bohemian gothic, at all. Thought it was just me 😜

@beeyourself04 2 года назад

I love the idea of the Witches Wisdom but the card stock is a huge hurdle. Funny how the way the cards shuffle can be such a dealbreaker. But I suppose for me that is part of what sets the tone for my reading.

@cardsJournalsandAllThatJazz 2 года назад

@@beeyourself04 yes! It is so difficult to concentrate on the drawing of the cards when I feel like fighting for a shuffle that feels good for me 🙁

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

Yeah the cardstock is a bit disappointing to be sure.

@lorrainetrotter4737 2 года назад

I have never ever ever wanted the Bohemian Gothic. Never. Or the Witches Wisdom Tarot. And I ordered the oracle from England so I wouldn't have to wait for the US release. Bur my gut reaction to the mod is white out the numbers. Cutting the lower part of the cards will affect the artwork, and not in a good way. Just a thought.

@NeverComply42 2 года назад

In the system of tarot, there is energy in the numbers. Look at pip style cards. The energy of the number is in full force. The picture needs to capture the energy of the number of the card. If the pictures have nothing to do with the numerical energy, the card becomes disharmonious. It’s like hearing a song played off key. Tarot is a system. Some people try to mess with the system itself and the result is an ostentatious mess.

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

That is how I feel too! The numbers have meaning and I just can't work with the cards when the numbers are off.

@thrivingselfcarerenee 2 года назад

I've never been drawn to the Weavers Oracle. I didn't get it because I just knew I wasn't going to be able to connect with it. I don't understand the hype over it. Nothing against the art or the deck creator. I just don't understand it... My only thing is when a deck is expensive or OOP I have a hard time letting go of them. I would say if you can sell it and get your money back then it might be worth it.

Witches’ Wisdom is my soul deck, but I don’t care about the numbers. The fact that they flip the majors around is a big plus for me, because it makes me look at things differently. Green Witch is too explicitly Wiccan for me. It feels like dabbling in somebody else’s religion.

@jaimie1159 2 года назад

@nereol9165 2 года назад

The Witches Wisdom... **sigh** I LOVE the artwork. I like the idea to make "The Fool's Journey" backwards. But - BUT! - I wish it'd be just the guidebook and no numbers on the cards. I'd buy/order it right NOW if that'd be the case. But with the numbers on the cards... I'd love to get more into working with a deck like this, that's not RWS. I thought about buying it anyway and just trimming it, removing the titles. Would fix the major problem (and my main problem with the deck) but I guess that'd make it harder for me to work with the minors. I could write the number and element on the minors, but I don't like doing that. Can they just make a new edition without numbers on the majors? Pls?

@DawnMichelleTarot 2 года назад

I'm right there with you! They could have put the names on the cards and left the numbers off the majors. Then you could work with it either way.

@rotsteineva Год назад

Oh! Don't chop the cards! Just use tape corrector and re-write the numbers, etc.
