I am with you on the plant deck criteria. I have not found one yet that meets my criteria. I have considered the Herb Crafter's multiple, multiple times and I keep deleting it from my Amazon cart.
I have neither thought of keeping Herbcrafters in the kitchen, I actually use it for ancestor work. It actually make perfect sense to have it the kitchen.
Your Hellenic oracle has become my favorite one of all my oracles ♥️ and I have MANY 😂 thank you for creating such a gorgeous deck and the linen finish is such a dream to shuffle !!
Thanks so much for watching Dawn Michelle! I really enjoyed your She Wolfe go through video recently! My copy finally arrived as well and I had done some chatting about it in the first edit of this video but there was just too much to say about it to fit into a video like this, had to cut it for time. She's gonna end up getting her own whole video eventually I think. Hope you're still enjoying her too! xx
Your dentist analogy is chef kiss!! 🥰 I am one of the lucky ones that owns a copy of the Hellenic Oracle, as you know, and I'm crazy about the thing! Thank you so much for making it available for us, simple mortels! 💛💛
I love that you keep the Herbcrafters in the kitchen! That makes so much sense...you have me wondering if I should keep mine near my potting station! Also I was cracking up at Morgan Greer being a Greek deck....I totally see it! I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for making it. Need to see the garden though...starving for a garden update 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks so much Judes! Yeah It just didn't feel right to keep Herbcrafters with the rest of my decks, she just really wanted to be her own thing. It makes sense to me because she's such a practical hands on deck and doesn't 'match' the rest of them in her own special way. Garden bits coming soooonnnn! xx
I loved this Spring round up! I have to say you have me struggling with the Red Seed and Phalarkos. I've told myself I need nothing new in my life, but they are very tempting. Not sure if you've shared all your Greek-inspired/invoking decks at this point, but if there are others, could you possibly do a video going through that theme?
Thanks! If you're not in the market for new decks definitely don't be too tempted, they're the same 78 cards, just dressed differently. I think that was most of my greek themed decks....other than the Olympos tarot and the mythic oracle no longer in my possession. There are a few other that I know exist like the Orphic Tarot, Greek magical Papyri and the Tarot of Delphi (Which I'm convinced I'll never own). There are also a TON of goddess decks that have Greek deities included but that list is massive and I don't feel reeally counts as a Greek themed deck.
Hi! Have you looked at any of Kay Steventon's decks? - Ancient Feminine Wisdom Oracle - Celestial Tarot - Spiral Tarot Her decks have a very Neo-classical vibe, especially the first two. Happy spring!
I've had the ancient feminine wisdom cards rattling around in my head for a while, I didnt know they were by the same creator as the Celestial tarot, I'll have to look into that one. Thanks! Also the Spiral Tarot look kinda really cool! Ahhh! lol Happy Spring to you as well Laura! xx
I'm so late commenting because I watched this when you first posted it but I loved it 😍 as always I think your decks are soooooooo lovely. The Lilifer Tarot is still speaking to me and now Lilith has actually started to come through for me, which is pretty frightening 😂 She appeared for me during journey work and in some dreams - its rather daunting! 😬 but I feel so much of her stories resonating for me, so now begins the research. I received your beautiful Hellenic Oracle too - its so stunning - I love the art and I love how big it is - there's a card for everything! 💜 Xxxx
I totally don’t feel the same about the sun .. I think you have a strong Leo placement in your chart or you are a fire sign? I am like noooo .. she’s excited about spring the way I am excited about winter and dark times 😅. I love nature though .. just not the sun and I totally prefer clouds and rain. Looking at your Spring decks .. I own none and it’s very interesting. I have the tarot of the hidden realm but it was always an all seasons deck. It makes sense to do inner child work in the joyful season of the year because it does help. I agree. I also find it easier myself when the animals are outside and you can view flowers and plants from the window.
Yay for the Hellenic Oracle!!! Love mine. Would love the Red Seed tarot and the Nicole C one as well. Now ya got me thinking Greece with the Morgan Greer lol. You are so right!!! I love all things Greek and hope one day to go back to the island of Skiathos which holds my heart xxx
Oh my gosh thank you Emily! Has your new home got a space for you to garden in? I very much hope so! You've always got such a knack for working with plants and seem right at home in the midst of them. If you're ever in Canada, you're more than welcome to drop by for tea and a visit! xx
Exactly! Plants and puppies, such bliss! Haha. The Forhaxa has a nice spread of imagery across the seasons so it could really work for any of them (it's really a wonderful deck of cards), but I have been pretty much constantly pulling cards with tulips and snowdrops so I think she wanted to be a spring deck for me. xx
Great list!! I am such a fan of matching decks to seasons -although the Ceccoli is a winter deck for me! (It's all the sweets and toys I think) I kept expecting the (old) Mythic to turn up ;)
Thank you! The beautiful thing about nature is that something else will grow, life is fleeting for everything and yet so infinite in its ability to renew itself and change with the elements. xx
I so enjoyed this video and the categories you created. They were perfect for capturing spring energy. That said, your channel makes me want to travel to Greece so bad! I’ve never been and you inspire me.
DO ITTTT! Haha! I try not to be too much of a pusher for decks but when it comes to travel I will HOUND YOU to do it whenever you can! I've never regretted a trip anywhere. xx
@@GardenGoddessTarot I couldn’t agree more. Travel is such a gift and after the last few years I’m itching to take a truly memorable trip. It’s like you said in another video; the time is right for more new experiences not just things. (I paraphrase of course!)
I need to find the source of this trees of Eden that you talk about. I'd love to know more! :) Also, I can't stand the smell of Tarot of the Drowning World. I'm thinking of storing mine in my box of incense for a while...
Love your thoughts on the Morgan Greer as your Greek deck! And I think you're so right! 🙂 I've been to Greece many times and loved it so much every time, and now I will also associate the Morgan Greer with Greece 😀
I love your videos✨ I have an oak tree in my backyard too ❤️ ugh the dentist analogy 😵💫 👌🏻 Spring arrived in my corner of Canada as well 🌱 Someone mentioned you used to have makeup ?? RUclips channel ?? Is it still alive ?? Anyway thank you for sharing!! 🌿
Now that I have got my breath back 😊😁 ( both the quality of the decks you shared and your high energy 👍) you know I always love your videos. This is a favourite. I own & adore most of the decks, I may not think of a certain one as spring but whenever I use it it makes me smile. Your taste in fae is almost identical to mine, I can't remember all the decks you included but I know I was nodding as you described the style of faery realm you love. I love your Hellenic oracle so much 🧡💛 it has caused me to be interested about learning of a pantheon that is not Celtic. First time for everything 😎 The deck gives wonderful answers on any subject. I am happy that your garden is awake & growing fast 🌳🌲🌿🍀☘🍃🌱
Thanks a million Deb! I'm so happy to be the influence that has brought you to the Greek Pantheon! There's all sorts of thematic overlap between pantheons, which makes the learning so fun and exciting. The garden sends its love! xx
Oh nooo, my bad. The thing about it is it's not a rapid reader, I've gotta use the guidebook to get the most out of it, so that's something to consider too.
I've been trying to use it differently this year because I just can't part with it but it's not an easy everyday tarot reading type for me lol So I pull a Energy of the month card at the beginning of every month and that card will live on my altar. I'll research everything I can on the plant or herb and it makes me learn the card deeper.
Love your Hellenic Oracle ♥️ also I totally get what you mean about Morgan Greer! I see the Greek environment now that you mention it. For me it’s really nostalgic as well, but reminds me of my groovy uncles growing up.
When it clicked for me that that was why I felt the way I did about that deck it was magical. I love finding personal associations to decks like that, it just makes the connection to the tarot that much more intimate. xx
I love all of your fae decks!! The Faeries Oracle is a favorite of mine as well 😁 Do you have any resources you like for learning more about fae energy?
Oh gosh... I've got a Faerie book by Ted Andrews, and anything by Brian or Wendy Froud is great, but mostly it's an experience. I'd say find a patch of woods that feels particularly fae and bring a deck and have a chat with them. It's amazing what comes up! xx
@@GardenGoddessTarot I did just that this weekend, and yesterday with the most amazing rain! It was a really cool experience 😁 Thank you for the recommendations!!
Hi Marilyn! I do love a black edge! I think most, if not all of the ones in this video have been edged by me. Tarot of the Sidhe, Botticelli, Devas of Creation and Tarot of the Secret Forest. Decks just feel naked without an edge for me. I do use colour on occasion though, when the deck calls for it. xx
It's certainly beautiful and a unique work of art, but maybe not worthy of too much anguish. If the used copy is a good price totally go for it, but it will come around again second hand so I wouldn't stress TOO too much. xx
One of my reading goals is to learn to actually use a Deste deck practically. I've clearly got a ways to go, but the rest of my life to undertake it. xx
Theia! Another lovely video! thank you! - I messaged you on Instagram about a very concrete idea re your Oracle… would love to connect. (Meanwhile: I spent a transformative spring on Ikaria; it’s where I wrote the bulk of *Mindful Tarot* and you do have me thinking about the Morgan Greer differently now! Love! Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολύ!!!)
Hey Esther! Yeah we can definitely chat! I'll have a look for your message on Instagram. Aw wow, spring on Ikaria sounds incredible. I am really interested in hearing more about your experience there! Have you done a video on it? Also think I'll need to look into your book, it's got me thinking as well! xx
@@GardenGoddessTarot Theia - thanks for your kind reply. I never did a video about Ikaria (couldn’t actually get the whole phone/internet/etc thing worked out adequately while we were there… we were living in a stone cottage and grateful for electricity and running water! it was awesome and gorgeous and deliciously NOT 21st century!) - anyway - i’d love to collaborate with you… I think I could develop an amazing guidebook for your deck…
@@englishwitchinfrance9009 I am not making any point really, I was just curious because in Greek several versions of this name are being used ,like Elisavet, Liza, Eliza even Betty etc while Yeliz sounds more Anatolian perhaps . All that said I am certainly not some names expert, I was just curious. Thank you ,many blessings :)
I am with you on the plant deck criteria. I have not found one yet that meets my criteria. I have considered the Herb Crafter's multiple, multiple times and I keep deleting it from my Amazon cart.
I'm in the midst of reading, The Overstory by Robert Powers. Have you read it? If not you might like it, it's about trees and humans. Cheers!
I have neither thought of keeping Herbcrafters in the kitchen, I actually use it for ancestor work. It actually make perfect sense to have it the kitchen.
Your Hellenic oracle has become my favorite one of all my oracles ♥️ and I have MANY 😂 thank you for creating such a gorgeous deck and the linen finish is such a dream to shuffle !!
Awww wow thank you Izabele! I'm so tickled to hear that! Makes me SO happy! xx

- Ancient Feminine Wisdom Oracle

By far my favorite video. I love your enthusiasm and energy in this presentation. I want some of that coffee your drinking.
Thank you Benny! That's the sweetest thing! Much like the coffee! haha! xx
Love the Tarot Carlotydes! The box, the card stock, mwah! Fournier decks are my favourite ❤
Yessss I love fournier decks! perfect size and shuffle for small hands! I wish they had more decks tbh!
I'm so late commenting because I watched this when you first posted it but I loved it 😍 as always I think your decks are soooooooo lovely.

Funny Forhaxa is so Autumn to me. Your video is so delightful. Gardening, dogs, cats and tarot. What more do you want?
Exactly! Plants and puppies, such bliss! Haha. The Forhaxa has a nice spread of imagery across the seasons so it could really work for any of them (it's really a wonderful deck of cards), but I have been pretty much constantly pulling cards with tulips and snowdrops so I think she wanted to be a spring deck for me. xx
Great list!!
I am such a fan of matching decks to seasons -although the Ceccoli is a winter deck for me!
(It's all the sweets and toys I think)
I kept expecting the (old) Mythic to turn up ;)
Loved all your choices for spring decks! Sorry about all the trees you lost. So sad 😢

I love the way you have edged the Forhaxa tarot. Do you know what own you used?
Thanks! I think it was a Tombow marker....lemme see if I can find the shade number....pretty sure it was #346
