I just found your channel yesterday and I'm so glad I did. First of all I love your voice. But then hearing about your scottish heritage, you living in a building that was a church at one point and all of that is so fascinating to me. It really sounds like you would be a person I would love to get to know personally. I'm really looking forward to hear a little bit more about you as a person, your background and your way of living as well as of course your decks. And even though you're getting rid of some of my faves (way home tarot and botanical inspirations oracle, which is kind of heartbreaking in a weird way) I still love watching your videos, because you talk about it in a respectful kind of way and so I can appreciate hearing another opinion about them that is the complete opposite of mine and use that to expand my view on decks and tastes in general.
I'm glad you found my channel and are enjoying it! Trust me, moving on decks is a very hard, lengthy process for me. And it breaks my heart to move them on. I just feel so bad doing it. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it's somebody's creation and its their pride, joy, and hard work. Living in a decommissioned church that's over 120 years old has been a crazy journey. It definitely has had its ups and downs. : )
@@sootandsalt that sounds so interesting. I would love to see a roomtour but of course that might show to much personal stuff. With letting decks go I'm totally the same. Always takes me a really long time to finally do it and even then it's an emotional bye bye. Even though there's no personal connection that was created with it. But I really appreciate that you clearly say that there's nothing wrong with the deck but that it's just a personal thing in terms of it didn't resonate with you. Some people don't do that and are really blaming the deck in terms of it being the worst deck ever and stuff.
Thank you so much for this video! I hope to watch the rest of it today! I really like your voice! I find myself feeling like I'm listening to stories by the hearth. As in childhood. :)
I absolutely love your videos! You have such a calming/soothing way and I truly enjoyed every single video I’ve watched of yours so far! I have a little tip when ordering from Amazon that I had discovered somewhere, maybe an Amazon review, but they suggested to purchase a few things from Amazon that way they will ship it in a box and not those envelope things (forget the exact name, a bubble mailer?) One question, how do you deal with or what advice can you share about deck overwhelm and having a really large collection of decks and not feel guilty at times? Weirdish question lol.
I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos! I really appreciate the kind words. That's a great tip about Amazon! I'll have to see if it helps. Deck overwhelm is a real thing that can be a huge issue. To me, it's important to have a well currated collection that connects and works for you. Quality over quantity. There's no reason to keep decks that you don't feel called to use. Rehome them after making sure you dont connect. It's hard when you are trying to figure out your style/taste and purchase everything that interests you. There are just so many beautiful decks available! I feel it's important to learn yourself and fine-tune your collection. For example: I only occasionally use animal-based decks, so there is not really a reason to have a bunch. I also dont connect with certain styles of illustrations no matter how popular they are, so I don't bother with those either. Also, don't impulse buy. That usually never turns out well. A personalized, well curated collection will never feel overwhelming. Rotation and developing a strong personal practice (using/reading system) is key as well. : )
Hi there! Did you say you purchased the Golden Tarot from Amazon? The listing on my screen shows it to be the 2004 version of the deck for $20 - and US Games is $26.95 plus shipping. So....if Amazon is sending the linen version, that's a better deal! Are you in US? Thanks!
I'm in Canada, and yes, I got it on Amazon.ca. I was tired of trying to find the linen edition, so I gave up and bought the one on Amazon. They never updated any of the images or info, so I figured I was getting the older version, but it was the linen edition that showed up. I was so surprised!
So happy I just stumbled upon your channel 💚
Thank you : )

I need to get cleaning...just dont feel like it lol
I just hide the page number on the card if I get one of those decks/guidebooks with no order.
I really enjoy the Witch Sister too!

@@sootandsalt Good to know! May be worth a try here in the US! I'm a Prime member so shipping and returning is free anyway!
@vadal4043 definitely try. It might be the linen edition 🤞
Some of those decks didn't work for me either.
