Enjoyed: but I always enjoy watching you geek out on TdM 😉 CBD is a great clean deck, very workable and a great study deck, especially with the book. Adeck/book I also own. Tarot de Marseille - Edition Millenium is another great clean deck and recently just got this myself. Lo Scarabeo - The Marseille Vintage - I was so excited to get this, but I was so disappointed with the stock compared to the RWS Vintage Version. Granchier - W❤W - That's a newbie on me and looks great 😍 (Will certainly be checking that one out!!) Yes - the Spanish tarot - I think every collector has this and very orange 😊 - but a great deck all the same. Piantak - I love this deck, but I do love facsimile decks 🙃 The Golden Tarot de Marseille - Another Yes 😎 - I also have this and love it. It reminds me of the Visconti background - A great fun deck. Tarot de Maria Celia - I've always been on the fence about this particular deck. I love the size, the tin - maybe I should watch a flip through. The Squid. I agree, a great one for kids and the young at heart adults 🥰 (Do I have it? No - But I can see why you like it 🤗)
Thank you Mascha for your video. I was looking for a nice reproduction of the 1930’s Grimaud, and now I have found it 😊 Grancher is republishing this deck in November 2023. It will be cheaper, the box is different and I think it will come with a Tarot pouch.
Aww, my absolute pleasure, Jeff! I’m so happy to hear this video was of interest to you! 🙏💛 I’m curious now though- WHICH decks especially caught your eye? 😊
@@musingsbymascha I really like the Vintage and the Grancher in particular. I am fairly new to tarot, although I did have the Waite PCS deck when I was 17 (I am 65). Just recently it has come back into my life. I love TdM.
This was great! I forget how many mass market Marseille decks we have these days. The CBD was sort of my first, it was the first one I went out and bought as a "Marseille learner" deck. I keep forgetting the Tarot Vintage Marseille, it's such a cool deck (I have the vintage RWS clone). I also keep forgetting the Maria Celia which has all those lovely colors. Thank you for sharing these beautiful decks with us. There's not enough Marseille on Tarot Tube, Mascha, thank you for being here with your channel and reminding us of all the different choices we have!
Thank you so so much for your kind words and for being here, @Calla Lizzie! 🙏💖 I’m always so happy to hear from people, your wonderful self, who read with Marseille Tarot and have such appreciation for it! 😘 And it’s so great that more and more great TdM options become available mass market.
Oh WOW, pink squid emoji! I have never seen it before! It must be the sign that the Squid Cake Marseille will bring you fun!😉It really is an adorable little tarot deck! 🦑💕
Oh Mascha. Another entertaining and pleasurable video and review of your MMM decks! While I have that original Marteau T de M, I am thrilled to see a more authentic Mass Market version. And a for the Millennium, how great to also have a Mass market more flexible card stock available now. Your final three included those two and I'm on my way to amazon now! Thank you for this, as ever,....love.
Aw, thank you for your kind comment Anne! 😘🙏💖 Yes, it’s so great to have the Marteau and the Millennium published mass market by French publishers! The quality of both of them is very impressive to me!
I loved your Old School Tarot de Marseille picks. I started my tarot journey with the CBD,the Golden Tarot of Marseille, Maria Celia and Earlier edition of The Mellennium Marseille later. Also the Spanish tarot marseille and the Piatnik Marseille. I love all of my first they will always hold a special place in my heart. But if I had to choose one it would be the CBD Tarot De Marseille. It still feels so good in my hands. I feel my Heart when I hold it. 🌖♎️🍷🍷
Thank you for being here, dear Njeri! ✨💛✨ Yes, I too love and treasure my first Marseille Tarots (mine were the CBD & Pablo Robledo’s Marsella). 💖 But then I find my most recent two mass market TdM decks rather superb also.. 🥰
@@musingsbymascha Yes your new Mass Market Marseille. I am considering purchasing the Le Tarot de Marseille by Colette, the Lo Scarabeo Vintage Marseille and maybe the squid cakes for the little Girl in me.
Hi Mascha, thanks for showing this video, you made me discover the Squid Cake Marseille and the Tarot de Maria Celia and I absolutely fell in love with them, they are so funny and lovable 🥰🥰!
Hi lovely Marina, Thank you for stopping by! 🙏💛 Yes, I agree, both Tarot de Maria Celia & the sweet Squid Cake Marseille have a good dose of humour to them! 🥰
I love listening to you nerd out on the decks! I’ve had Tarot Piatnik before as well as a tri-color Grimaud. I learned to read on a Grimaud deck. It was my first one ever. I LOVE the Maria Celia- one of my favorite TDM’s. The Spanish Fournier is the one I’ve got my eye on at the moment… TONS of love to you, Mascha! 😘❤️🙏💕🪷
Aww, dear Natalie! Thank YOUuuuuu!!! 😘😘😘 It’s so nice to see the Maria Celia getting much love in the tarot community. It’s certainly a very fun TdM! And the Spanish Tarot is fantastic also, I especially love the smaller-sized cards and colours of course!! 🧡💚 Sending much love to you too, beautiful! ✨😘✨🙏✨💛✨
Thanks for that. Interesting. You should definitely check out Vincent Pitisci’s The Tarot of Marseilles. I ordered this from Vincent himself when he first brought it to the market and it doesn’t disappoint. It’s beautiful.
I’m glad you enjoyed this, Colin! Thank you for stopping by! 🙏🏼🩵 Yes, while I don’t have Vincent’s Marseille deck, a few of my friends do, so I’ve seen it, and it’s beautiful. Would you say it’s your favourite TdM deck? I’m curious about the decks you reach for when reading tarot.🤩
@@musingsbymascha I think it’s currently my favourite deck Mascha yes. A couple of years ago I had one major clear out of all my decks. Sounds odd but I felt suffocated by them all and so I felt I needed to strip back, which I did. I gave them away and I had loads. I saved just three decks. A RW deck, Vincent’s and Tattoo Tarot deck and I do love this tattoo one. It’s just slightly too big I feel.
Obviously the tinned deck is my favourite out of all of these. I had no idea swords have to be curved in marseilles. I admit though, I get lost between all the versions that look identical except for a shade variation. So the last 2 would be my overall favourites for visual interest. 🌞💛🌻
I had a good feeling Tarot de Maria Celia could be more to your liking, Toni! 🥰💛 LOL, you see my lovely TdM decks as identical??? ☺️🤣 Some say that about different versions of Trionfi…😉☺️
@@musingsbymascha 😆😆😆 I think the swords are curved too. 🤓😉 So, am I correct in thinking if the batons & swords are all separate like the cups it is not a marseilles?
@@AntoinetteTarot yes! You’re correct, Toni! 🌟🌟🌟 All Tarot de Marseille are pip decks but not all pip decks are Marseille! 🥰 But of course some non-marseille decks also have crossed batons & curved swords.. (I’m talking about historic Brussels-Rouen patterns).
I have the mini version of the Millennium deck. Beautiful deck. I don't believe at all in the deck's design underpinnings of sacred geometry, but it's a lovely tarot.
Hi @qwe1231, I hardly know anything about the sacred geometry, but I do like the symmetry in the Millennium deck and its quality is amazing! 😊 Thanks for watching!🙏💛
Hi Mascha, I know you enjoy the art and history of these decks, but I'm wondering if they continue to engage and excite you doing constant readings with them. Or do you find you need to occasionally freshen your reading palate with other types of decks.
Hi Robin, Thank you for stopping by, and what a great question.🙏💛 YES! Marseille Tarots continue to excite me, and even more so, when I learn about the intricacies of individual decks. The more I read with Marseille Tarot, the more it draws me in! I do use illustrated tarots too, although not that much any longer ( however, most recently as you know my go-to deck outside of TdM has been the Old Fellow - but I possibly love it that much, because it feels like an illustrated marseille (style-wise, at least)). 🥰 With other types of decks, I very much enjoy lenormand and Italian vera sibilla.
Loved this Mascha 🥰. I didnt know about that version of the grimaud thats close to the 30s colouring! What's the cardstock like on that one is it rifflable? 😂 I have a version of the cbd that came with total tarot magazine (I think its cbd anyway lol) but other than that (and the grimauds u have) I don't have any of these so this was lovely to see. Is Maria celia close to playing cards in size? X
Thank you so much for stopping by, dear Chris! It’s so nice to see you here! 😘🙏♥️ Yes! The cardstock in this Grimaud reproduction is riffle-able for my little hands. I trust it would be thinner than the Grimaud you have. 💙 Yes, Maria Celia is US Games pocket size, which is around a playing card size. 💛
Hello beautiful, thanks You so much for this video based only in mass market decks i do really appreciate it! I have a question, is there any Marseille deck with purple and blue tones? 😅
Hi Mascha! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!! You have such incredible knowledge of Tarot de Marseille -- thank you for sharing. 💛 I have a question for you: What is the deck you are using here as a size comparison -- the one with the pink diamonds and yellow sun in the middle? I feel like I've seen that deck before, but I can't place it. Thank you so much!!
@tarotunbridled Hello and thank you so much for your kind comment!🙏 🤗It means a lot to me and I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed this video! 💙 Oh, the name of the tarot deck you are asking about is Kitty Kahane Tarot, which I like a lot! 🥰
Oh MY! I'm so sorry to keep asking more! But how do the 1930 Marteau MM cards shuffle? The original deck is thicker and stiffer card stock and I would love a more flexible shuffle. More or less like most mass market decks? THX. Anne
Oh, ask away, dear Anne! 🥰 Oh yes! The card stock is a pleasure to shuffle in this MM version. Yeah, I’d say it’s more or less like most good mm decks! 😊
@@annerobinson2288 I made a post about this Marteau on Insta. I know you don’t have Instagram but it should open through the link Anne: instagram.com/p/CrS4ze0SKiE/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Hi again! I just compared my original Millennium to the MM version and noticed the obvious change in the overall color palette as well as design changes on the Page of Cups and Coins and the Sun and Star card. There are probably more design changes on other cards you didn't show. Was that intended by the designer, Houdouin? Do you know? I prefer the detail and vibrancy of the original myself. But the more flexible card stock is nice.
I’m yet to put my original Millenium and the MM side by side, Anne. But yes, a while back Wilfried mentioned that he had been making refinements to his Millenium (I am very partial to linty shoes too!🥰) .
