It's GORGEOUS!!! 😍 Fyodor Pavlov Tarot 

I have the Indie version and truly cherish my experience with it. The 6 of Cups is my favorite; it's a self-portrait of Fyodor, both the adult and the child. 🖤

I see the king and queen of swords as being back to back as being in sort of a fighting position. Like they're fighting in a battle together. You just put this deck firmly on my list, so beautiful!

Thank you for the lovely walkthrough. I think the Queen of Coins is holding a tray with a loaf of bread and a container of salt. A woman presenting bread and salt to guests upon their arrival is an old/traditional/folk (not sure which is the correct term to use) gesture or ceremony showing hospitality and welcoming the guests to the house/village/etc. Bread is sacred and salt used to be very expensive; the general message is of prosperity and wealth and good health. It's common across the Slavic and Balkan cultures.

This deck has been helping deliver the most beautiful and raw readings I’ve ever seen. It has a sincere tone that doesn’t shy away from the hard details, but never fails to show the beauty in the process as well. Super well done, it will be my go-to deck for a long time 🖤

~Grateful for your walk through and intake of this deck… I enjoy your honest and respectful opinion on the artistry involved. Blessings…

Super excited to get this deck. That Lovers card is incredible. You're right that it's a bit weird that The World seems to be"the place" to feature a curvy body. I wonder if the mental connection people are making is something like: The World = Gaia = the Venus of Willemdorf and other "fertility goddess" figures. 🤷

It is giving me colourbook vibes where they just started colouring some of them and left others a bit open. I guess thats what makes it feel kinda young and fresh to me. That in combination with some of the more "risky" images is very refreshing. ❤ ✏️

I think that big curvy women may be used in The World card, because in some cultures that kind of lusciousness is a symbol of wealth and abundance.

that 2 of swords finally gave me the word I've been wanting for their sword position, it's defensive, instead of aggressive

This is my “Lisa made me buy it” tarot. This is absolutely beautiful, I can’t.

I don't know, I think if you get hit by lightning, it would be hard to use your wings, even if you have them

I appreciate that the breasts drawn in this deck look -natural- Not all breasts are high and perky and its nice to see that represented here.

Just pulled the trigger and bought this today ❤❤❤ been waiting for my birthday and now I can splurge 🥳

The way I see it, in The World many decks feature a happy curvy woman as a way to showcase the triumph of self-love and complete acceptance of yourself. Like you're finally free from the chains of judgment, have ended your journey of self-discovery, and have achieved peace. So I'm always stoked to see this kind of imagery. One of the main reasons I plan to buy This Might Hurt in the future!

It's awesome to hear how excited about this deck you are, I have the indie version and it's absolutely amazing, one of my faves for sure. I was actually planning on reading the guidebook cover-to-cover today, so it's so cool that you posted this video. I love seeing myself in the cards as a trans man and supporting a trans creator is always important to me, and also it's the first beautifully diverse deck I've seen that has kind of an old worldy feel, which is something I look for in my decks. I'm excited to see which Peggy bag you choose for it!

I honestly can't wait to see what Peggy bag get to hold this gem!😁✨

Love the walkthrough! I was debating about this deck, and you've sold me on it.

I love this deck, I backed it on Kickstarter.....but don't recall getting the guidebook, like THAT, and it's not guilded😯A good friend of mine got the MM and it's such a steal with that higher quality and the extras that the Indie version didn't come with

Oh, just wait until you read the guidebook about the 6 of Cups. I just about cried

Absolutely love this deck for so many reasons! Thx for sharing 🙏

Brilliant walkthrough Lisa! You're so good at what you do ❤❤❤I love that the King of Wands has different shoes ... unorthodoxy, non-conformity, someone who isn't afraid to think outside the box, forge a new path, try different ways, an innovative trailblazer 🔥I'm sold!

One of my soul decks ❤ it makes me so happy

I'm a bit late to the party but I'm getting this deck - I couldn't help but notice the Lovers match the couple on the Devil card! Or at least it looks that way to me.

The King of Wands has a prosthetic leg!! The right leg - oddly colored, I assumed was a strange “shadow” - is actually a prosthetic leg giving a nod backward to the 9! I am in absolute awe at this deck! And the initial reading that included the King of Wands? Absolute perfection!

Well, Lisa, thanks so much for that long, loving look at this deck. I've considered it, off and on, for a long time. Your video finally sold me. I think it was your long, thoughtful presentation. I ordered it before the end of your video. Can't wait to have it. It really has it all, doesn't it?

OMG. Thanks for this review! I originally did't get this because I flipped through a sample in a shop and I'm not usually a fan of the art deco style and figured I didn't need another RWS clonish deck. Obviously I missed A LOT about it! I absolutely love it now, and it gives exquisite readings.

Oh I love that judgement. Its my card of the year. That gave me chills when you read that. Yep definitely my next deck!! I said the other day the moon had me, well now the rest of the deck does xXx

Love your nail color!!

I love how you prepare us for the Deck yesss

Thanks, Lisa, for all your great insights. I think the large naked woman on the World card harkens back to what you said about the Sun--the nakedness suggests acceptance. This woman is accepting herself and all that's happened to her which would be part of being complete. It also suggests abundance--she doesn't want for anything (how larger people were judged to be more successful and wealthy than others in the past). Just my take, but where the idea/image first comes from, I don't know!

Omg. Yes. This is fabulous

Im at the judgement card in the video and just wanted to share because i had a thought about the shadow aspect and how this card could be interpreted as the need for judgement, for validation, that these people are grasping at this figure begging for judgement, to be told if they are enough, and/or maybe even Please tell me what im doing wrong, how can i repent, how can i change, please pass judgement on me so i can know. Idk maybe im way off but thats the initial thought that popped into my head. But i agree. Its a very grim depiction. Edit: also, your nailpolish is GORGEOUS! Edit 2: and ooh i love that in the 9 of swords there are owls mixed in with the bats, like there is wisdom in what you fear. Love that.

The art is gorgeous, but I ended up giving up my deck because I didn't click with it at all. 😢

the Hierophant looks like he's holding a palm frond for Palm Sunday

I just ordered this tonight... US Games was having 25% off! Thanks for the walkthrough, I love getting your opinion.

I see the story of Lucifer in The Tower card. He built himself a castle and made himself lord. god got jealous and sent a lightening bolt to try and destroy it/him. He is the winged person falling from the tower.

This deck had been calling to me forever. I almost backed the kickstarted. I almost bought the indie version multiple times. I kept hesitating until the clock ran out. But when I found out it was coming out MM I knew I would have to finally take the leap. I already knew I loved the artwork and the backs of the cards. I had been exposed to the deck and seen it enough to know it was stunning and unique. I just wasn’t sure if I would connect with the deck or if it would end up being a beautiful deck that refused to speak to me. I was afraid of the potential disappointment. I preordered the deck and the delivery date kept getting pushed. It finally arrived but was delivered in an envelope and was damaged. It was replaced with an undamaged deck that was delivered in a box. This deck was well worth the wait. I am completely happy with this MM version even though I was worried about the gilding. I love the hardcover guidebook. The box is beautiful. The gilding is high quality and blends beautifully with the cards. The deck is more expensive for a MM deck but it is worth it. It feels on par with indie decks that I love. I have a few indie decks with lower quality cardstock and packaging that I paid more for. I am thrilled that this beautiful deck which gorgeously reflects the real world we live in is now widely available Mass Market. I was sad when you said in a video that you would not get this as a preorder. I was still waiting for my deck but I suspected your worries about it being more of your fantasy self and might be too “grown-up” may have been wrong in this case. I was hoping you would somehow get a chance to work with it. I am so happy you ordered it and that you love it. Wishing you and Peggy all the best! Thank you for a wonderful walkthrough of a very special deck!

I sorely missed the KS/indie version boohoo, but ecstatic when I had learned it was coming to mass market. I’ve been eyeing the mm version since it came out last year (I absolutely love the art style; so totes my jam), but I held off-until I saw the Lisa Papez gush about it. So I just hit buy on Amazon, and I’m getting it in Manila (where I’m based) by Mar 3. And I didn’t even know they’re linen until you showed the cards. Obvs, I also held off on watching the mm walkthroughs. 😅 Thanks, Lisaaa! 💕

I've had my copy for a while now (also mass market) and only just now noticed the strength card and what it makes me think of. The scene in Lilo and Stitch (the movie) where Lilo puts the lei around Stitch when he's really worked up. That scene is one of my favorites and really meaningful to me because of the symbolism I've attached to it (thanks to a Tumblr post ages ago), and seeing it paralleled in the strength card makes me really happy.

Beautiful deck -- but it was the guidebook excerpts that you read, Lisa, that convinced me! Yet another #LisaMadeMeDoIt addition! ;p

awesome deck

the leafy wands remind me of Aaron’s staff, and the Ace, of the burning bush.

Nice video, whats your view regarding lo scarabeo's tarot original 1909 kit?

I love this one too. I knew I'd like it but I found having such a very 2slgbtq+ deck in this very traditional art style to be an emotional experience I didn't expect. I feel like there is a lot of love in the artwork and the guidebook's fantastic.

I make the association between the curvy World bodies and Gaia. World = Earth sorta thing.

I just got this last month. I haven’t seen you had filmed this. Lisa if you switched the King and Queen of Swords, they would’ve looked at each other. That’s what I was yelling at the screen! Lol Here’s my criticism: The creator is transgender, and I’m happy for him. But since I don’t think that matters to who a person really is, I don’t need to know that, but that is I believe, why the Lovers Card is the way it is. I get the point that we fall in love with people, not the genitals. I’ve heard people make the statement “I don’t love genitals. I love the person Genitals is an afterthought” - …Well I’m breaking out to say: I’m attracted to one of the two genitals options. Personal preference: I want the genitals to match the body of the gender that gets my juices flowing. The changes in the Lovers card don’t change the meaning of the lovers card, i know that. And Lisa I like the alchemical change you mentioned with the card. Nice observations, I agree. Anyway. This goes for all decks : archetype cards. Archetypes are on the court cards - IMHO this is not the place to insert DEI stuff. Day to day stuff like the minor arcana- go for it. But not court cards or the majors IMO. Because I don’t want my knight in a wheelchair. I think this is a bit too Woke for divination. I love everything else about the deck - the production, the cards, I agree. I love how LUSH it is too. ❤

Love the video! Do you know exactly what cardstock this deck uses? I really want to get another deck that uses this cardstock, because I bought my partner this deck and I fell in love with it too, but he says he would be "aggravated" if I had the same deck as him. So, do you know the cardstock? Do you know of any other decks that use this cardstock? And/or, what is your opinion on owning the same deck as someone you live with? Owning the same deck as your partner? Could you please make a video that includes this in with tarot ethics?

🎶 fat bottomed girls make the rockin world go round 🎶

Does the king of wands have a prosthetic leg?

It is a cool deck. But the mass market version is 55 euros equal to 55 US$ in Amazon Europe 🙄

oof sold out on bookdepository :(

the world is the abundance of opportunities, so you have an abundant body

How’d you get this in Canada? I’ve been looking all over for it. I’ve never ordered off of Amazon US. Does it still ship to your address?

#lisamademedoit lol

She said it was gorgeous. And I stopped to watch❤️

I hate seeing the big girl as the world. I see it a lot. Are these artists associating a big body with the world? there are so many fat joke that pop in my mind. “big body = big world” “big as the ocean” ..maybe because I’ve been fat my whole life and I’m overthinking. idk. i know they don’t mean any harm. that’s just how my brain works when I see a fat person on the world card 😬😂

This deck is begging to be colored.
