I'm a little late to the party, but I watched this video a couple of weeks ago and when you said " If the pagan other worlds and the darkness of light tarot had a baby" and I thought ok well I don't have the heaven and earth tarot but I do have the pagan other words and the darkness of light, so I pulled them both out and I pared them together and Wow! What a combo that has been! I wanted to thank you for the inspiration because I never would have thought to put them together, and these two decks are a great paring.
your journals are so beautiful. your simple journals are my goal for artistic! you are really amazing dawn Michelle. I am so tempted to get the Somnia, seeing it paired with the black madonna is tipping me over the edge. wonderful video as always ❤
Thank you so much, I adore your creative journals and books as well! :) The Somnia is really a unique kind of deck, I don't think I have anything else in my collection that would compete with it.
I absolutely loved this video! I feel that after following you for over a year this video for me fully explained how to journal and I don’t have to not be perfect. I also love that I own many of the decks that you just showed in this video.
I really enjoyed this Dawn. Your cadence and vibe has gotten a lot more relaxed and conversational since you started your private group. I am really enjoying it. Its more like sitting in your office and chatting. yay! There is still all the great content but I think people can hear more ... joy and ease? I don't know if this makes sense but I noticed it and its lovely.
The black Madonna and the salmonia decks those are awesome the song you deck wow it's real that's a real that's a real that's a real that's a real decorate there I saw a lot of stuff in that deck I did 🙃👍 Great view thank you
So happy to see you were gifted the Mysteries of the Black Madonna, it's a work of art. I think this video was all I needed to finally decide on purchasing the Somnia Tarot. It's a haunting and deep - yep, I need it. 😅 Your journals are so inspiring. What a beautiful way to look back and experience what you were thinking and feeling, not only through words but visually as well. Thank you for sharing your practice with us.
I am squeeealing over here that I actually influenced a Dawn Michelle deck purchase/pairing. 🙌 So, SO many of my own have been inspired by you, the most recent of which being that Housewives Tarot!! And I'm clapping over your fiction project! 👏That is awesome! Tarot is absolutely brilliant for writing--may those words keep flowing. But, ah, that Somnia DOES like to throw its repeats into your face! Mine is apparently in cahoots with all my other decks now, as its got them dishing the same stalkers (Judgment being one for me, too! WTH? What are we missing here?). 😆 At any rate, am over the moon that the Black Madonna has arrived in your life at the right time and that the Somnia has been doing right by you, too. Thank you so much for that most unexpected shout-out and for always being an inspiration. 🖤
That Judgment hasn't stopped stalking me yet! lol We'll see if it continues to show up in Sept. There's a few more "Rumer decks" on my wishlist, so you'll probably be seeing more more familiar faces. :)
As usual, so interesting and so helpful. I finally caved and ordered the Somnia Tarot. It was just to powerful to ignore. I ‘m thinking of using it in November...maybe, maybe October. I also ordered the mini version of The Gentle Tarot and it will be one of the decks I use for our Monthly Medicine self care. Stay safe.
@@cherylclough4309 yes, there is one (@160 pages or so) that fully explains the process, cards, etc., on his site and Etsy shop. I'm glad I got it; goes way beyond the keywords & the photos are gorgeous.
@@steffymuze I think I got it. I ordered the deck from his site. I’m going to go back and check. If I have to order it extra, I want it. I recently ordered the extra Guide Book for the Gentle Tarot and I’m loving it.
@@steffymuze Hold on! Just went to his site and checked and yes, there is a companion book which is $24 extra. That makes this deck set close to $100 with shipping. Oh, well, it’s only money, right!
Looking at your journal you can see the power of that Somina Tarot imagery. it's too creepy for me but it's really intriguing. I have introduced a little bit of routine in my reading this week and it's going well so far. thanks for the inspiration!
I saw this and thought "An August review already? It's just - oh wow - August is over" Ha Your journals are always so organized and pretty! That's become a goal of mine to have one journal as nice as yours are. 📖📝
That Kali Oracle has a separate guidebook/journal which doesn't come with the bigger cards. I bought it to use with the pocket edition and I don't regret it, although I did misplace the deck (but I found the book in the box where I thought I packed the deck) and haven't had much chance to work with it because I still can't find it after I moved. I was in the middle of edging the pocket deck in green and it looked fabulous so far. I am making it a point to find it in my storage unit next week and work with it in September.
This was funny, I was sure I didn't want the Somnia Tarot and saw it over and over and was never interested. I saw it on your channel and suddenly I had to have it. I am loving it now, so crazy how this happened. Your journals are so stunning, maybe it was seeing the deck in your journal that changed my mind.
No one is going to believe me but I was watching this video and shuffling the animal apothecary oracle when I decided to pull a card and as I flip it over she says face your fears and the card I had drawn is titled face your fear. The world works in strange ways. I need to face my fear then.
I have wanted to work with Kali for a while, but ever since I read Song of Kali I have been a bit too cautious of her energy 🥲 she does command a lot of respect. Would you be ok with sharing a bit more of the work you're doing with her? Totally understand if you aren't. Thanks for sharing!
She is a big energy for sure! I'd have to think about how I would translate that into a video for public watching. I tend to talk about that kind of stuff more in my members area cause it's personal. :) But I'll give it some thought for sure!
The Dark Angels deck gives me strong Star Wars vibes for some reason which makes me want to get it. The Endless Oracle is gorgeous. Really drawn to both Zombie and Housewives, but Curious Creatures still weirds me out a bit.
I have a question about the housewives tarot which I keep an eye on. I can imagine it has a strong virgo energy. How could you describe the energy of this deck? And which decks do you consider to be virgo decks? Maybe you have an example for me.
I would say the Housewives is a bit cheeky, but also very down to earth. I'm not very well versed on astrological energies so I'm not sure if this would be considered like a "virgo deck." I don't really think of my decks in that light so I wouldn't know which decks to recommend for that. :)
@@DawnMichelleTarot thank you for your kind answer, Dawn Michelle. I don't know much about the astrological energies of decks yet either , but I definitely want to learn about them and incorporate these when it comes to choosing my current working decks.
I thought about chopping off the keywords on the Heaven and Earth tarot. I can't read those words either and it's sort of distracting because I just end up squinting at the keywords.

How fun! I love playing with pairings, so many interesting things come up with unexpected deck duos. :)

Aw thank you so much! I do feel after a few years, I might be getting the hang of this youtube thing. :) Thank you so much for watching!
You do a great job with your digital journal, but gosh, your paper journals are amazing. It was a pleasure to watch 🤩
Thank you so much for the Chaplet info! I am on one for Archangel Raphael and I now have a BEAUTIFUL gift idea for my Dad for Christmas!!

Me too LOL! Somnia arrived yesterday. It's been on my list forever, got the guidebook too💜
@@steffymuze Is there a separate guide book that must be ordered apart from the deck?
@@cherylclough4309 yes, there is one (@160 pages or so) that fully explains the process, cards, etc., on his site and Etsy shop. I'm glad I got it; goes way beyond the keywords & the photos are gorgeous.

I was the same way with it, maybe it's just one of those decks that come to you when you need it most. :)
@@DawnMichelleTarot It is such a beautiful deck, I hadn't realized how special it was until seeing you show it. I am blown away by it now.
No one is going to believe me but I was watching this video and shuffling the animal apothecary oracle when I decided to pull a card and as I flip it over she says face your fears and the card I had drawn is titled face your fear. The world works in strange ways. I need to face my fear then.
I pair my somnia tarot with Elizabeth on earth but I like your pairing too

I cut the banners off the heaven and earth tarot and I absolutely love the deck. FYI 😊
I've certainly thought about doing the same! It may yet happen. :)
@@DawnMichelleTarot in all fairness I did buy a backup copy, just in case 😬
You could always ✂️ the Heaven and Earth 😍 backs would still look good too 🤔
The Dark Angels deck gives me strong Star Wars vibes for some reason which makes me want to get it. The Endless Oracle is gorgeous. Really drawn to both Zombie and Housewives, but Curious Creatures still weirds me out a bit.

I meant to say somnia deck is awesome
What size is your journal?
I think it's the A5 Olive and Archer. There's a link in the video description.
Sorry I meant to say somnia not the other one sorry
