I think the compartment for the cards is that bit bigger then the cards is because when you put the cards in the bag that they came with you could put them in the bag then in the box still and they fit snug. That’s how mine are kept. Thanks for the comparison ❤️
How odd that Hay House didn't make the cards smaller. FYI: I think the reason the cutout part of the box in the original deluxe edition is larger than the cards is that's where the folded tarot bag was placed at shipment. I have the deluxe edition and I also love the book. But this second one . . . I kind of don't get it. Thank you very much for the walk-through, Simon.
I think its nice to have smaller boxes as I have so many decks. However, if I only had a fjew, I would prefer to have the bigger book as that would be more comfortable for my eyes and better to hold while reading. 😊 Thank you for sharing ❤
Im happy i have the first edition. I love the texture of the guidebook and extra art you get on the inside cover. And i loved the bag it came with also. The deck stands out as unique with the reordered majors and the first edition respects that with its packaging Idk i love the original version. I love the book and bag and the convenience of being able to keep it in the bag in the box for travel. 😊
I must admit I’m a tad disappointed as I had interpreted ‘standard edition’ to mean more poker - sized cards..I’m a great fan of the current trend for releasing smaller sized decks and had hovered over ordering this new edition as a 2nd copy for myself as easier to handle and therefore I might have used them more regularly. Hey ho! No need to order this pack.Thanks for the review ( I’ve saved some money!)
You are smarter than me .. I saw the words ‘standard deck size ‘ and bought it. It arrived 2 days ago and I now have 2 identically sized copies , both awkward for me to handle. Despite the size I still love this deck , it will be around forever I hope.
Thank you Simon 🥰I hadn't even heard of this new edition or that the other may be going out of print so i went and ordered another deluxe size so i will have a back up. I really like the larger book and the bag that comes with the deluxe version.Much love and many Blessings 💜💜💙💙🙏🙏
I think the box is bigger than the cards in the older version, so you can for instance put some stones or other gems at the top in the box. Thank you again for this lovely video. Much love from the Netherlands.
Thank you for the video. It's such a disappointment😢 - I hoped the cardstock and the size will be finally changed... I love this deck, but I dreamed of having it printed on smaller and more flexible cardstock, which would make it easier to riffle-shuffle... Can't understand why they called it "portable"😕😢...
10:01 Thanks for the notifications. However, would you be so kind to tell me how the sides of original deck are blue? I really like that color and want to do the same 😊
Thanks Simon for this unboxing. I was very curious about the card size, was hoping the cards would be a bit smaller because the cards from the first edition are a bit to big for my hands. But glad to know that they are the same size and that only the book is smaller. Just stick to my first edition then. 😊
Oh Wow!!! I wouldn’t have purchased the new deck if they had been truthful about the deck was the same as the first edition. I already have two first edition decks and now a third identical deck. I don’t love my decks anyless♥️♥️
I didn't even know they'd come out with a different one! The original Witches' Wisdom is my only Tarot deck. I just love it. Every year, starting in December, I do a journey through it. I love the original box for fitting the bag that comes with it. I'll stick with my larger version, though I am pleased to see they kept all the text for the smaller one. Sometimes the text gets trimmed down when they change the size of a book. I also think it's great they keep the cards the same size because it really is great to have a bigger card for such beautiful artwork. Thanks Simon! (Tell me more about this tea you're drinking! What flavors do you like?)
Hello , finally , after at least 7 years ! And thanks a billion for everything during that time . I’m actually feeling somewhat deceived by Amazon , who described this new deck as ‘standard deck size ‘. I now have 2 identically sized decks . The reason I bought the new edition was that I found the first edition cumbersome to handle ! How about a third edition in manageable size ?
I think the compartment for the cards is that bit bigger then the cards is because when you put the cards in the bag that they came with you could put them in the bag then in the box still and they fit snug. That’s how mine are kept. Thanks for the comparison ❤️
Ah, makes sense. Thanks Patsy!
Yes. I keep mine in that lovely bag. Which makes it very portable. 😊
In the 1st edition I got a cloth embroidered bag. That fills up the space in the inside box.
How odd that Hay House didn't make the cards smaller. FYI: I think the reason the cutout part of the box in the original deluxe edition is larger than the cards is that's where the folded tarot bag was placed at shipment.

I’m pleased I have the original. Really like that book 😉
Thanks Simon, I don't know how you do it but your videos are so cozy and lovely to watch. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Glad you like them! 😍

I totally agree!
I really love this deck and, funnily enough, was just using it today when I saw your video come up. I'll definitely be hanging on to my first edition.

I’m so glad I saw this video I managed to cancel my pre order I was expecting a smaller sized deck..thank you Simon x
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you Simon! I love that cute little ghost on your table! ❤

Beautiful art on those tarot deck

The tray is larger than the deck to make room for the drawstring bag that came with it 😊

You and me both!
Thank you for the walkthrough. I did imagine the new addition would have smaller cards.
You and me both! 😆
Does the newer version come with the tarot bag?
I must admit i thought the newer version would have smaller cards❤❤
No, sadly it doesn’t
Did your larger version not come with a Draw string bag? I believe the whole as larger to fit the bag.
Good point!
10:01 Thanks for the notifications. However, would you be so kind to tell me how the sides of original deck are blue? I really like that color and want to do the same 😊
I coloured them myself with a Windsor & Newton
I’ve been looking at this deck and always question to get. I’m glad you did this review so big as I don’t think this is the deck for me. ❤
Glad it was helpful! 😍
Thanks Simon for this unboxing. I was very curious about the card size, was hoping the cards would be a bit smaller because the cards from the first edition are a bit to big for my hands. But glad to know that they are the same size and that only the book is smaller. Just stick to my first edition then. 😊
Glad I could help! 😉
Thanks for doing this. I really wish they would release a smaller version tho. ❤
Yeah me too
Another beautiful deck. Really lovely. Thank you for the walkthrough. Oh my, I love the background music. What is the name of that song?
It’s just a built-in sound file that comes with iMovie 😊
Oh Wow!!! I wouldn’t have purchased the new deck if they had been truthful about the deck was the same as the first edition. I already have two first edition decks and now a third identical deck.
I don’t love my decks anyless♥️♥️
Right?!
You make the best review videos, so warm and welcoming and cosy ❤
Thank you so much 😊

This is the first one I’ve had, but I did pick up some Yule tea as well, which I’m looking forward to trying.
Wait! What? Can’t say I’m not very disappointed that the card stock is exactly the same 😮 after all the hype…
Right?!
