The Spacious Tarot Expansion 

Oh no.. do I want this deck now? 🤣🤣

I’m so excited for this! I use the Minchiate as my primary way of reading, and now there’s a modern deck! Mine comes in the mail today, haha. I love this system because it separates the layers modern tarot has put onto the cards, so I don’t have to wonder if the Chariot means movement or if it means Cancer because there’s a completely separate card to represent Cancer! Same for the elements-the ace of wands can truly represent the beginning of a new venture, but Fire represents spirit and creativity as a whole. I just love this system so much!

Hey Kelly! I was missing your tarot deck videos! I'm so glad to hear you review this expansion pack! I'm very excited to purchase my own, but idk if I'll manage due to currency differences!

I got mine today! I'm very happy with it (though as a Pisces who hates cold weather I have gripes with the snowflake -- it's beautiful, and totally fitting, but... brr...). I imagine I'll keep the astrological cards separate and use the element cards as spread positions / significators more than anything. For the box, I haven't tried yet but I suspect I'll just leave the guidebooks out.

(I wrote a comment the other day and it seems to me that RU-vid ate it... so sorry if anyone sees this twice...) For any folks looking for this deck in Europe - Kismet Berlin have opened pre-orders, they are expecting their shipment by mid-August (and the creators have confirmed on their Instagram that this shipment is en route). They do ship to the UK, but only for orders over £135 - see their FAQ for details (the dreaded B-word strikes again...). My understanding is they are only going to have deck+expansion bundles and expansions available for now. The creators have indicated (again, on their Instagram) that they are looking to start discussions with other stockists sometime in August/September. I am guessing this will include Little Red Tarot, the Wootique, Roi de Coupes, and Tarot.NL. Note the word 'guessing' - I've not communicated with any of the shops/sellers and this might very well be wrong. LRT is on their well-deserved summer break, as well. Allow all of them, both creators and potential stockists, a few weeks and things may very well clarify. Miss Kelly - thank you for the lovely walkthrough. I'm a lurker who rarely catches any live streams (ahh, time zones) and a relative newbie to cartomancy, but I enjoy your videos very much. I've been learning a lot from the walkthroughs and the tutorials and the chit-chatty videos alike. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience.

First I’ve heard of this expansion. Oh boy!! Thanks Kelly!😸💕

I missed this! Glad I caught it now! I love the expansion and look forward to edging to match the parent deck.

I just finished using the Spacious Tarot for over two months as my daily journaling deck. Love this deck, it really goes deep. I just got the expansion pack also, and will enjoy getting to know them. I haven’t used the deck yet to read for others, but I’m about there and the expansion will add to that experience.

This was so amazing! It's making me rethink all the extra cards in any deck that I have and how I can use them. I loved this! thanks for sharing.

Sold me on it! Love how you play it out for us. Thank you, girl!

I just got my expansion deck too. This is so interesting finding out your insight Which Minchiate deck was that you showed?

Was just about to edge my Spacious Tarot... think I need to hold off now and purchase the expansion pack before I begin... bang goes my bank balance (again!) 🤦‍♀️😆 Thank you for sharing 🙏 ❤️

Thank you Kelly so much for your walkthrough! I wasn't to sure about the Spacious expansion pack even though I really love this deck. I had heard a few negative opinions of it eg "it's just a way for them to make more money" & "it doesn't bring anything to a reading or add more value to it" You have really helped me understand how to use something like this. Sold!

Really enjoyed looking at the expansion and I’m very glad you did a full walkthrough to see all the cards, hehe. Will add it to my wishlist. About the printing differences between the first and second edition, I believe you would also have to take into consideration the batches themselves. I bought mine for example at the beginning of 2022, which is supposed to be a second edition: the box is the second one, all cards with light backs, the five of pentacles has been updated… but the typo in 3 of pentacles is still there, some of the cards weren’t tweaked as they said they would, two cards remain darker (Wheel of Fortune like yours and High Priestess, even though they brightened them up for the 2nd ed.) and the vulture in my five of swords is cropped (you can only see the beak, not the full head). It doesn’t bother me really (except maybe for the Ace of cups which looks off with such thick linework). My point is, despite my deck being a second edition, some of the old art files got used instead and it’s a mix between 1st and 2nd edition’s artwork. I was a bit bummed when I first noticed it, but it doesn’t matter when I’m using it. The deck is still gorgeous and has become a wonderful tool and companion. I just wanted to point out that there might still be differences between printing batches due to mixed up files. That’s my guess.

Just bought the expansion pack combo and LOVE IT! Such a beautiful gentle energy. Thanks for the flip through! ❤️

I’m such a sucker for this deck! I totally missed the different packs for the different versions, I guess that’s what happens when I order on my phone the minute the email arrives and I’m not wearing my glasses. I think I ended up with the 2nd edition matching expansion pack which is probably good because I would not be able to match the edging i did to the 1st edition deck, I have both. Thanks for sharing how you will use it, I’m on the fence with how I want to use the Astrological cards.

I heard of the spacious tarot quite a lot! But I've never actually looked at it yet. I will check your walthrough out for sure. I can clearly see how interesting it is to connect an archetype energy with a sight (for a lack of better words). This "lack" of characters makes you bond to whole different degree with the energy of the cards, I feel. It would also be a very enlightenning mean to question your environment. Almost like this deck was made by the Empress from the tarot. Thanks for your beautiful generosity in sharing your experiences with your decks. It is a delight to hear you talk about it in your videos. Very helpful as well.

Loved seeing this, thank you! The art is gorgeous, but since astrology is not part of my practice, I will pass. I wish there was an option to buy just the 5 value cards to add in!

This makes so much sense. I was wondering how to work with the elements and zodiac cards into my deck. Thank you for your perspective. Illuminating.

Awesome discussion! You’re always so great at helping all of us expand our practice. So creative!! Meanwhile: I do wish they’d kept the virtues… i’m less taken by the value cards, which feel a little ho-hum to me… the keywords just feel a little flat. But, I’ll have to buy this expansion for sure. Thanks so much, Kelly! xoxo

As l was going through the expansion pack I kept thinking "this is familar, but what". It all clicked when I saw you video. Lol Beautiful explanation and show case of the wonderful modern Minchiate system. I have one Minchiate deck and book, but I haven't taken the time to get to know it well. Well done Ms Kelly!

Kelly, would you do a walk through on the positions of your diamond shape spread? I know you did a video on it years ago, but I can’t find it! I used to use a modified version of this spread and I really enjoyed it, but I haven’t used it in so long I’ve kind of forgotten the positions! Or maybe link the video you did? Thank you! Liz

Update: When I watched this live I said I didn't have the deck and was constantly putting other interests first and this deck kept being put off.... But.... I just ordered it and the expention also! Can't wait to play with it!😅🙏🏾🤎
