Yep... i ended up trading the Spirit Song .... and wayyyyy later ended up wanting it back...it was gifted to me and I love it all over again. LOL What can I say? I'm fickle!
The Spirit Animal Wisdom oracle deck by Katie - Jane Wright has a "golden unicorn" card if you want to check it out.:) That deck is so pretty, I love the illustration style of the animals, beautiful watercolours, and each card has a key word and phrase on each including the name of the animal as well. That deck also has an element symbol for each as well. The cardstock is different, it's not matte, but I still absolutely adore that deck. Maybe check it out if you haven't already. 💕 Also-I loved this video and am definitely getting the animal kin deck! Thankyou for your opinions and walkthrough. I love animal decks!
Feeling déja vu, so apologies if I already asked you this, but did you find a new home for the Animal Spirit? I love that trimming! This was a super interesting video, I love themed deck comparisons. I think we may have exact opposite tastes in decks, lol, but it's always interesting to hear why people like certain art or keywords.
Yup, another Oracle Deck to purchase next year. Love the Animal Kin, I've gone through only one Oracle Deck that is just animal by itself, that I'm planning on rehoming very soon and I've seen this in one of the metaphysical/witch store but just walk by it like meh I probably won't connect with it, but after watching the walk through and seeing the different types of animals, from oceans, insects, birds and mythical and having more cards to the deck. Also love the word for horse, I've always seen horse as ''Freedom'' like Motivation so much better. Also like the borders on how they match the color of the animal.
I have gone back and forth and back and forth on both the Brady Tarot and the Spiritsong. I like both aesthetically but I am *very* averse to keywords on tarot. On oracle I can go either way, but on tarot... no. Made an exception for Next World Tarot & I am still considering chopping them. Animal oracles are my favourite, and I like suits too (though I don't love the real/mythological combo so much) -- I've got the WU Animal Spirit (I use with 'spirit' suit removed) as well as "The Secret Language of Animals" (also has suits), "The Birds Oracle," and "100 Ink Animals" so far. Thanks for sharing :)
I think if you are not a fan of keywords.... you may struggle with both decks to be honest. Have you seen the Animal Allies deck? That might be another that's more your style...
@@Lisa_Papez I decided firmly against Brady after shopping around for a birthday treat for this month. Spiritsong ... yeah, might struggle there too. I have seen Animal Allies yes... and have it bookmarked on the wishlist! :D Thanks for suggesting. I ended up treating myself to the Nocturna Oracle (not all animals but many animals in there, all nature-based) which I'll be doing an unboxing for soon! :)
Thanks so much for this thorough comparison! I really want to add an animal oracle to my collection. I already have The WU Tarot and though I use it (a lot!), I don't love it. I've been holding off on buying the WU spirit animal deck for that very reason. The Animal Kin Oracle ticks all the right boxes - especially because of the wagtail. It's one of the few birds that truly remind me of home.
You definitely gave the Animal Spirit Oracle a good go. I had the same problem with the Spiritsong Tarot and had to move it along, although I really loved the imagery. I soooo enjoyed seeing all these animal decks.
I love the WU spirit animal deck (and the WU tarot) - love what Nina did, but my handwriting is atrocious lol. I love animal medicine and enjoy researching any animals I pull so keywords aren't really an issue for me. I use them as a jumping off point for digging around 😊 I also really love Spiritsong tarot, but like you I wish there were pops of more saturated colour (like the box). I'm actually heading down to the post office to pick up my animal kin deck after this - *happy dance* Those colours 💕 That piggy! 🐷 I like the Spirit of the animals artwork but the writing does spoil it for me. Love this vid, and ps sewing machine noise was not a problem 😚💜🐞 always nice to hear Peggy in the background 😊
The WU Animal Spirit went on and off my wish list for ages but ultimately I decided it wasn’t for me. I want keywords with my Oracles, and I don’t want to have to write them in for myself. The Spirit of the Animals Oracle is still on my wish list at the moment but I’m still not sure how I feel about animal decks in general. That pig!!! 😍 And that sloth 😍 and omg the Dog 🥰 I could do the same for nearly every card in that deck. It is so simple and yet so beautiful. I am so happy to see an Alpaca. They are one of my fave animals. (I’m commenting as I watch so sorry for the disjointed feel) And that Fox may just have sold this one for me...
I'm a fan of the sewing machine. I ordered 2 Peggybags😊😊
this one is so unique. I like that the cards have their own personality and border patterns.
I love the pastels of the Spirit Song Tarot! But I did notice from other videos that you tend to like decks with bold colors. lol

Alas - I did! I traded it at NWTS. It's kinda magical/wonderful that there is enough variety that we can all find our match in decks! :D

I’m loving the Animal Kin Oracle! And I purchased it after seeing it on your channel so thanks for making me aware of it. 😊💜
You bet! Always thrilled to enable others! :D

Aw that's so lovely! Yes I'm STILL loving the Animal Kin most of all my animal-based Oracle decks!

Ooooo I must get the Spirit of the Animals deck. I love it. I have the animal kin and love it very much.
Appreciate your opinions thank you.
Jodi Bergsma's deck is really wonderful!

I knew you'd be a goner once you saw the fox! :D Animal Kin is just so lovely and wonderful! I highly highly recommend it!
Apparently we have similar tastes on our animal oracles! I love both, but the Animal Kin has become a go to deck.
Yes!! I just love it!
