I think a lot of us are in the same boat, nothing wrong with moving on what isn't working for you. I have a big pile of declutter decks too. 🙂 Thank you for sharing with us! ❤️
No pearl clutching here! 😂 Cuz I totally get it, especially with the decks you really loved in the beginning but then never used, That's happened too many times for me. Thanks for sharing!
😱😲😳 …I jest, this was actually great to watch, and can totally relate. I stumbled into Tarot and Tarot Tube late 2020…and then went mad buying ALL the decks. I have no idea how many I have because I’m afraid to count them up. But it’s too many, and I’m now starting to get a better sense what style of decks I actually like to read with, vs what my fantasy/ideal self thinks I need. I’m going to have to get brave one of these days and do a serious declutter. …Thanks for sharing this, I enjoy your insights. :)
Yes absolutely. I wanted ALL the decks too. Now I watch Lisa Papez's videos on what releases are coming up and I enjoy it without wanting ANY! 😆. Thanks for watching!
@@HazelJaneTarot I wish I could say the same…I stopped watching her Hot Take videos for a few months, avoided a lot of unboxing videos, managed to stop my impulse buying for quite a while. So feeling too confident I could resist, watched her latest one…ended up getting 4 decks. I’m hopeless. 😂
😲..I watched it all. I remember some of these coming into your collection so was intrigued to find out their fate!! 😁 I am surprised you are moving the Shimmering veil along, you seemed to love the images...they are very beautiful and evocative...(I don't own a copy)....loved this...I re-home decks all the time and feel it's natural to do so, my collection evolves as my practise and taste does...thanks for sharing 😊
IKR? It's been on my WL forever since it's so pricey to get to me. I do have Margarete Petersen's 20 anniversary edition though (which I liked better than the white/gray version🤷 plus I'll edge it) which is scratching the itch for now but seeing this nearly made me cry LOL!
I am so impressed you said you double check to insure every card is present before you send out a deck. I purchase “complete” decks on eBay and Amazon to save money. I do not want or willingly purchase incomplete decks. When the deck comes in I double check to make sure it is complete. I find the decks are rarely in order and periodically when I put them in order, I find they are missing a card and sometimes several cards. This means I have to take the time to contact the seller, make a claim with eBay, print out a shipping label, repack the deck, Drive to the post office, using my gas (I live in the country and the PO is quite a distance from my home) and mail the item. All of this costs me time and money, all because the seller didn’t take the time to put the deck in order. Bless you!
I agree with you on the Margarette Peterson deck, I just can’t! I tried so hard, but nah, nothing! Everyone raved about it at the time ….. I was like “What’s wrong with me?” I think I have the same format as you. Enjoyed seeing the decks your letting go of, I found myself nodding along 😝
😮 my jaw dropped at the end when I first saw this - as you know! But I am so impressed and very inspired by your efforts 😆 also that Cheryl Yambach Rose Mary Magdalene deck looks amazing 🤩 sooooo flinging-flanging excited for that 🎉 🥳 well done you 🏆 😘
😱 I really enjoyed this and love hearing your reasoning. I think many of us, especially those new to tarot, did buy ALOT of decks during the pandemic. I do thinks it's normal at the beginning of any hobby. You don't know how you read, or what works for you, so just all the pretty things in the beginning. Plus you have nothing to compare against, initially. But as you work with decks, and figure yourself out, you become more discerning and nit-picky. Nothing wrong with that. Sad to see some of them go, as they seem interesting and cool. But to each their own. I do think sometimes it's just not time to work with a deck. I have a couple that I knew I wanted, and acquired during the pandemic, but still haven't worked with yet. I also have space, and that's a big factor. Good luck! Thanks for sharing.
I loved the story about the high priestesses. I was a little shocked about the shimmering veil because you seem to love the cards and I thought you could just read it as a regular deck with art you loved but I totally get it if you are not going to use it. I understand wanting to keep your cards at a reasonable number and leave a little space 😀
Space is the big issue for me! My other half has a lot of stuff too. It's nearly one in one out for books in our house at the minute. I've found a very good home for Shimmering Veil though. ❤
I had both the Margarete and Shimmering Veil decks, both beautiful but just couldn't work with them. I've gone down from 100+ decks to 12 and can still cut a few loose honestly. The thought of all those decks sitting on my shelf still makes me feel physically sick. 😩 Cool for everyone else to buy and collect but for me it became a burden, not a blessing.
Over 100 down to 12! Wow! I'm not sure I want to downsize that much but honestly, I could cope with 12 I think! At least they'd get used... thanks for watching!
😱 Thank you for beung hibest. Even ufvut was small I think this is more comin them we'd like to admit! Keep at least one irriplacable deck. If you don't use it perhaps it us waiting for the right person! Never thought of that, but yeah I do that with my shadow work decks. Some decks I layers with my study deck, so I can keep both un mind. I don't think it's faur to expect others to all love and use popular decks. Ut's good to hear you laugh!
I would love the dark mansion tarot!🥰🥰 i also have the archetype oracle and wild unknown but as you, I just don't connect with it.... Thank you for your input and video 😁 😵
The wild unknown it seems like everyone has it. I was never attracted to this deck. One deck also that everyone seems to have is moonology deck. I just bought this in a swap group for $10
It’s interesting because I had a different experience in 2020. I bought no deck that year nor in 2021 until October. I was in a place where I needed a break from tarot .. so my practice was minimal and I wasn’t interested in anything new. Are these decks you got in 2020 ? Some of these decks, I never saw before. It’s great to know where you stand in your practice. Personally, I tend to sit on decks I never used until I get to use them. I just can’t afford buying them again if I get to want to use them
That's so interesting that you didn't buy tarot during this time. I'm not sure if all of these were purchased in 2020/21. Some may have been in the previous years. I definitely have some I haven't used that I'm just keeping until I want to. Rebuying is just not an option with the price of some!!!
🤫I also don't read with M. Peterson and Shimmering Veil but I cannot move them on! They're just special works. Love your channel! Pagan Otherworlds is forever in my purgatory box! OS coming to Dingle Ireland in June to see my sister who lives above Inch Beach! Any fun and witchy/ pagan-y west coast places you recommend?
Ooh the Dingle Peninsula and The Ring of Kerry below are full of ancient standing stones, dolmens etc. If you can do the boat trip out to Skellig Michael that really is awesome. There was an ancient monastic settlement there. Dingle is a great town. Enjoy!
I just cannot read with more abstract art decks. I like looking at abstract art in museums and galleries, but not in a Tarot deck. I always put the cards back in order when I trade or sell a deck. I’m always surprised when I get one (traded bought second hand) that’s not in order. Seems like good Tarot etiquette to me! ☺️ I’m just not sure what happened with TWU archetypes deck. Some of the images are just plain awful. It really feels as if the creator rushed through it. With you on the Divine Feminine deck. There is just something off-putting about it. OMG! Tarot of the Cloisters!!!!! Well, at least you’ll be able to sell it for a good price! For the longest time I was in search of it, and then after watching a walk through I realized it really wasn’t for me. Shimmering Veil…. Same as Margarete Peterson….. can’t read it!!!!! Good for you for figuring out what doesn’t work for you and moving the decks along! I love your idea of pulling a card when trying to figure out stay or go! I’m going to give that a try! I’m not in shock at all about the decks you’re letting go. Each to their own… what works for one person doesn’t work for everybody! Good luck moving these decks along! 💚💚💚
So many beautiful cards. I wonder if you still have the haunted mansion tarot & is it feasible/ cost-effective to post to Australia. If so am very interested. Bright blessings
😮actually I really enjoyed agreeing with you on nearly all those decks - I only would have kept the shimmering veil. The M Petersen I gave in to the hype and had the same version as you - got rid because the guidebook drove me crazy - couldn’t understand any of it😆also same as you re the minors
I passed on my Dark Mansion as well. In retrospect, I should never have bought it. The thing that bothered me about the art...bothered me until the end...the weird long skinny necks. I have an older version of the Crystal Tarot that doesn't have the blue circle in the borders...I like it better than the one they sell now, but I saw Esther at Mindful Tarot do a thing that might just work for me with that deck. She took really good pictures of it, and made one printed copy with larger images. I just don't have the patience. I also have a copy of the real Cloisters deck. I never use it, but I like to look at it. And yes, your right. When the market gets bogged down with counterfits...who knows what the real decks are worth? So, I might give it to someone who really really wants it (I don't have the box anymore, just the book) but until then, it stays. I have a similar feeling about Shimmering Veil. I've held it in my hand, and I just don't think it's my kind of tarot deck. Go figure. My collection keeps growing, but at this point, I have space, and I like what I have...but every once in a while.
Yes if you've got the space then there's no urgency to move anything on. And yes if I can't get a good home for Cloisters I'll keep it. The long necks... lol. I wonder is that what bothers me. Thanks for watching x
Shock and Horror! 😳😱🫣Are you sure you want to part with that Margaret Peterson deck? And the Shimmering Veil?? And Tarot of the Cloisters??? Those are such classics but…If you do go through with it, I hope you get a fair price for them. Fun video. 🙏🏽💗🌸✨
Oh I didn't know they're was a gloss version. This was very hard to shuffle at the start because it's so matte but it worked in OK when I shuffled it a bit.
@@HazelJaneTarot yeah, mine is the 4th edition I think, they changed a couple things & despite what Taroteca says, they're still too shiny (for my liking), like glossier US Games stock, meh. This 3rd version is still available, I just can't justify it til I do something with the 4th one that I have.
I feel like i should do a purge but I always fear, if i get rid of it i might want it for a future thing or a future video. I also get a lot of Kickstarter that we cant get again.
I called the Victorian romantic as one of your decks. How are you getting on with it now? How amazing you pulled two high priestess cards! Good for you for knowing what you like and going with it 😱😲❤️
😱😱😱 Love Candy's idea of Ideal Self vs. Actual Self!! Kim krans' Archetypes deck was def an ideal-self purchase for me - oh how I yearned to be the cool leather-jacket wearing girl with her round, broodingly monochromatic cards, their edges softened by daily shuffling and darkened with candle and incense ash... Turns out I get more of a kick from the stupid 100-card Buzzfeed Oracle Deck than I do from anything Wild Unknown 😂😂🤣🤣

No shock and horror. i am the same as you. My problem is my husband is now into ‘collecting’ tarot decks and it is hard for me to get decks past him to sell…
