🖤✨💕 I have had two tarot decks that I was only meant to have for a little while. I can’t remember what they were called but one of them was based on Egyptology and the other was inspired by zombies. I was doing a reading for a friend who has very skeptical about anything metaphysical but was very interested in Egyptology. I was very drawn to the deck when I purchased it, but didn’t really have very accurate readings for myself. When reading for my friend, everything made perfect sense. I ended up giving the deck to the friend because it was clear to me that the deck was meant for them. I think somehow the deck knew that I was a vehicle to get to their chosen owner. With the zombie deck, a similar thing happened. I was very drawn to them, purchased them, and a few months later started dating a new boyfriend. He wasn’t a skeptic. He was SUPER in to zombies. I immediately knew that the zombie deck was meant to be his. Maybe I’m a tarot deck matchmaker✨
My Rider Waite deck was my first deck, I purchased it in 1968 using my earnings from babysitting, It is a deck that still calls to me and I always enjoy using it, the box was lost many many years ago so it is wrapped in a silk square and lives in its own carved wooden box
My father bought me this Beautiful deck called ⭐Ethereal Visions, by Matt Hughes⭐he ended up getting in touch with the artist and was able to get me a deck when it was pretty well sold out, and then my mother and father ended up getting me the wild unknown deck for Christmas!! I love them both vary much! I'm just timid in their use.. Thank you for showing us your decks!! It was an honor to see what worked well for you!!
I have Ethereal Visions too! It was my first deck and I eventually got the Dreamscapes Oracle deck by the same artist. I love the art on both decks it’s so beautiful and peaceful for me :)
As a beginner witch I have had the exact same experience with the lenormand card readings in comparison to tarot cards. Being able to literally translate the symbols is very helpful. I was able to do incredibly accurate readings for myself and other people without much effort. 🌞🖤
More than one hour of you talking about your favourite divination tools? YES, I love it! 🙌✨😌 Also, I saw the thumbnail, read the title and immediately thought "Yay, she's gonna show us the haunted deck she talked about in her livestreams so often!". 😆 Looking forward to that! Thank you for putting this huge video together, hope you have a wonderful day and a great start into autumn! 🖤🍂🍁
that green which oracle deck also includes the times you should eat and use those plants by including the astrology on to them... incase you didnt notice that.
RWS is a very special deck I think. It was my first and when I began working with it I told it what I wanted from it and it’s been reliable and growing in strength ever since. ⭐️
It’s so nice to see what resonates with each practitioner! ⭐️ My first deck was the Deviant Moon tarot and I feel so connected with it that it almost feels strange to get other decks. I did get a deck recently that I still strongly resonate with, but it’s more suited for a single to three cards draws max. And with the Deviant Moon I always feel the urge to keep pulling cards and do full spreads. I love both decks but, it definitely feels like the Deviant Moon wants to be the main deck 😄
My absolute favorite deck is "everyday witch " by Deborah Blake. It's so encouraging, I'll be trying to figure out what it's saying, and the strength card will jump out. Beautiful powerful energy and imagery. The deck for me doesn't operate traditional and tells me how I need to lay the cards, it's kind of amazing actually.
My favorite tarot deck is not my most beautiful,but it is my most sentimental. It was given to me by my mother when I was 10 years. It's the Aquarian deck
I strongly believe that decks are sometimes inhabited by entities, which I treasure. I have one deck which gives me not very kind vibes, the Enchanted Tarot, it's a weird tarot with problematic images and to it belongs the only Death card that gives me very unsettling, very uncomfortable vibes. I have the same question you have, is it this particular deck or all the printed out units the same? I think it is only this one singular deck although I also feel that the energy given off by certain decks is pretty universal: yes, the Enchanted Tarot is awesome, beautiful, gentle and accurate! Thanks for sharing! PS. My favourite decks are too many, it depends on the mood I'm in or the urgency of the question, I recommend The Shadowland Tarot, by Monica Bodirsky if you love Halloween and you love the Enchanted Forest ;-)
This video was so fun, and you've actually introduced me to some decks I'd never seen before, or ones that I have but hadn't seen the inside cards so thank you for that!!⭐🌟
🌟Love how you give props to the brilliant and often overlooked Rider Waite Smith! Another amazing deck is Tarot of the Abyss. Black & white illustrations are so expressive, the cards practically read themselves. Great video as always! 🖤
So awesome! Stayed till the end. Thank you for your review. Wasn't a fan of oracle cards before because i prefer tarot (my favorite deck is the holographic A.E. Waite version). But, I just purchased the Green Witch Oracle Cards because of this review. I love the idea of having multiple uses of one deck of oracle cards. Thank you and much aloha from from Hawai'i!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Wow I loved your collection. I have the Moon oracle deck and I work with it a lot I am working on building my collection. I wrote down a few that caught my attention Thank you for sharing
This was so lovely! Thank you. I just got my Forest Enchantment deck today, and I also got Denise Linn's Sacred Forest oracle cards -- it's my first oracle deck, and I felt an IMMEDIATE connection with them. I am in love with the Moonology and Celtic oracle decks -- going on my wishlist! Thank you so much for the effort and time you put into sharing your knowledge.
My favorite is the Tarot Playing Deck by Dead on Paper. Poker card size, pip minor arcana, detailed imagery on the court, major arcana, and aces. My absolute favorite thing about it though is the linen card stock. Its been my daily work horse deck for three years and still going strong. My second favorite is The Tarot of the Divine. I love how it is inspired by fairy tales and folklore. The artist put a lot of thought into which stories represent which cards. I like the tarot deck from Hit Point Press, but since its lenticular you have to put them in protective sleeves and they are terrible for shuffling of any sort. If I'm reading for someone else, I will use these cards to help the querent because the visuals are lovely and easier to understand than some of my favorite decks. As for oracles I only have two: Laurel Grove South Cemetery Divination Deck by Holly L'Oiseau and the Seed & Sickle Oracle by Fez Inkwright. I love how personal the first deck is and how the second has such interesting interpretations of the plants it uses as inspiration. I have the same Lenormand deck as Hearth and I agree its wonderful, but I haven't taken the time to really understand Lenormand. It has such a different way of speaking that I would really need to sit down and study it for a couple years before I felt confident.
Loved this video! I'm a subscriber but don't often comment, but I watch most all of your videos within the week of it coming out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us all 🌟🌟🌟
🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫💫 The RW tarot is in my top five, if not my favorite. I also love the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot. For me, it shuffles like a dream and gives accurate readings, plus the art is gorgeous. Tarot of Dreams is another favorite. It's not a style of art that I would typically like, but Ciro Marchetti has grown on me! The Crow Tarot by MJ Cullinane I absolutely love, but it can be a little hard to shuffle since the cards are a bit thick - it's a gorgeous deck, though! And I do love the Morgan Greer deck, partly for sentimental reasons, but I also like how "in your face" the art is. That's just tarot, lol. I'm still deciding how I feel about my oracle decks, as I don't spend as much time with them. 😊
One of my favorite Tarots is the Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti. I've seen pictures of the art nouveau deck, and it is beautiful.

I find Lenormand to be much better for practical things. Like, if I want to know how my day it's going to be or a specific outcome to a situation, I use the Lenormand. I don't use that particular version, I have the Dreaming Way and I love it to bits. I love Tarot for more general subjects or abstract questions, or if I want to get more depth or layered information.
I also own and really love The Mists of Avalon Oracle and the Forest of Enchantment Tarot deck, but my favorite is also Rider Waite Smith - specifically the Radiant Rider-Waite. It's so warm and vivid!
Love your videos, so much information as I’m new to my practice your my go to! You are so informative and I love the way you impress that each practitioner should stay true to their own beliefs/ practice! Not many creators do! Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom! ❤
I just watched your video (I apologise for the lateness in watching your video😂😂), a lovely video as always, I always love the videos you put up they are so informative and helpful 😊😊 my favourite tarot deck and the one I use the most is the Vampires of Eternal Night deck it was the first tarot deck I ever bought when I started my craft, it holds so much sentimentality for me and I still use it every time I do a reading 😊😊 my favourite oracle deck is The Universe Has Your Back Deck I love the art work and the messages it has. It is my go to oracle for every oracle reading or when I draw a card 😊😊 I hope your having a nice day 😊😊 I love your content 😊😊
Loved this video and yes, I watched it all the way through in one sitting! ha! I have a few of the decks you mentioned but there were a few that I don't have and some I'd never seen like Tarot of Sorceress and Oracle of the Witch which I also think the artwork is spectacular and stands out in its minimalism! I also really liked the Making Magical Oracle deck and your idea for how you use it. A deck I use a lot is the Crow Tarot which gives me really accurate readings and I connected with it immediately. I also have really come to appreciate the Ryder Waite Smith deck. I learned Tarot using that and the Wild Unknown together. However, I didn't come to really appreciate the Ryder Waite Smith deck until much later when I began really studying the symbolism in the Tarot deeply and the connections to the Kabbalah, Egyptian mythology, Christian mythology, etc. but Pamala Coleman Smith was an amazing artist and all the art on each card is very deliberate. She was incredibly intuitive. She was undervalued for her time but she was a woman way ahead of her time and I'm glad she's getting more recognition now. RWS deck has become one of my favorite decks as well and I agree it's a great one to learn from since so many decks are based it.
⭐️ This was endlessly fascinating to me! I love tarot tube videos and getting insights into what calls to other witches, pagans and readers. I also love that RWS is your top pick. I agree it’s a classic for a reason, and I am not as precious with it as I am my more rare or less replaceable decks. Great list, Hearth! 💜⭐️
Hi! I love and have some of these decks. I added a few to my list. Long ago I started out with a Hanson and Robert's deck. The art spoke to me, and the size was perfect for my small hands. I use several decks now. Thank you for sharing!
Love the comparison video! Thank you so much for publishing this! Connection to a Tarot deck is a personal thing that differs from one person to the next. Just starting collecting decks myself. My favorites thus far are Cosmic Tarot and Crow Tarot.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨💫✨💫✨ Thank you Hearth !! This is an absolutely AMAZING video. I so appreciate the amount of time and effort you took to go through your Tarot Decks, show them and explain when and why you use each deck. Thank you !! 🌟✨💫
Absolutely loved your video. My personal favourite is the Tarot of Light and Shadow. I also use the Old Style Lenormand which I find far easier to read than tarot. It really lends itself to intuitive reading and I'm always blown away by how accurate are the readings that it gives 💚
Thank you, Hearthwitch, for taking us with you on the journey through your favorite decks. I love the Rider Waite Smith Deck mostly, but I need to get this Celtic one, too. 💙🙏💙
i think the ryder waite smith deck is really important. The symbolism is deep. The GD used to make theirs initiates draw or paint their own, to get the symbols into the unconscious/subconscious
Your collection is awesome! I love my RWS deck, ive had it for so long, its like my friend! I also love the light seers tarot deck, for me that reads well for others. Oracle i really love Angels and Ancestors, beautiful art work and messages. I love all your videos, thankyou so much for your content 🌟
I have been a fan for years and always learn something new from your content....which is wonderful for a witch at my age....after 32 years as a practicing witch. I really wanted to recommend an oracle deck I believe you will love....Seasons of The Witch: Samhain Oracle! I do believe there is a Beltane deck as well. But this is a stunningly beautiful deck and I think it will appeal to your taste. Thanks again for such great content....I send many of the younger witches who come to me wanting to learn more about the Craft, to your site. Blessings
✨❤️❤️❤️ I love your longer videos, I really love listening to you while I’m doing my own little bits and bobs and I also love having a nosey at other peoples deck collections 😂❤ I have so many too! I really need to sell some so they can be loved and used, as you’re so right, they do unfortunately mostly sit on a shelf when they’re not really calling to you and it’s such a shame, that game of thrones deck is amazing too! I really hope they’re setting up to sell those, that talent needs to be seen and appreciated 🥰❤️❤️❤️xxx
13:18 My favourite Oracle deck (mainly for Samhain decor) !!! I agree with the loose cards in the box, so I put my cards in a velvet tarot cloth bag and then put it inside the box. It helps !!!
I just bought a new deck of playing cards to start practicing the craft today. Thank you so much for the video, Hearth. The timing is unreal🔮 It's so nice to see how many beautiful decks of cards are out there!
🌟🌟 Amazing video Hearth! My favourite decks are the Dark Wood tarot and Mystical Journey Oracle. The latter has helped me so much in my spiritul journey.
Love this video. I have only one Lenormand called under the roses. It’s reminds me of 90s manga. It’s so cringy in a charming way. But I don’t read Lenormand well enough yet. So interesting to see what your favorite decks are. My top deck is labyrinth tarot. It really ask to be use all the time and only.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 27:50 😂 The reason why I love the Hanged man from the Wild Unknown Tarot by them. Damn, I forgot how beautiful the Moonology cards are. I need to use them more since they’re my only oracle deck. I’m hesitant to use my Forest of Enchantment deck since I don’t have a guidebook for it. 😂 The gentle energy from the cards though shouldn’t be scaring me off as much as I’ve avoided them. I guess the Wild Unknown was just abrasive with me at first until I learned to work with them and I’m scared that will happen again. I just love my Wild Unknown. I’m needing to get a tarot bag for a couple of my decks as well since the boxes are waaay big for the decks. It’s taken me a good couple years to get a decent connection with the Wild Unknown that it can read so well for me. It was originally really good for reading for others but I don’t do that and since it was my first and only deck for so long, it’s given into me where it reads really well for just me now. Now, I don’t want to give her up to test out others. My Wild Unknown backs look exactly like the pocket version.
🌟🌟🌟Hi Hearth! I was so excited for this video to come out! I've definitely jotted down some decks I will be trying 🖤 Thank you so much! Also, I completely agree about the Halloween Oracle deck. I have it and hardly ever work with it either. The imagery definitely isn't varied enough and I've also found the guide book to be oddly unhelpful. I've actually been working with the Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle lately and it's definitely delivered on the spooky season vibes I was looking for with the Halloween Oracle, so that might be worth a try! xo
Ame este video hasta el final❤ te he descubierto hace poco , y me parece maravilloso toda la sabiduría clara y fresca que transmitis, me encantó saber sobre los espíritus de algunas barajas , he sentido ese tipo de conexión y me pareció fascinante como lo describiste!!! Gracias!!!❤❤❤
I'm so glad you are a fan of the Rider Waite deck. I learned on this system (still learning) and I love this deck. I have other decks that are RWS format and there's one I think you would love. It's the Heaven & Earth deck...a bit on the dark side....for instance, the Queen of Swords is holding her sword in one hand but is holding a severed head in her other hand....she who does not suffer fools gladly. LOL. But I get good readings from this deck also. Like you, I've gotten sucked in to a deck by the stunning artwork, only to find that I don't connect with the deck. The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti is just gorgeous but I don't get good readings from it and it's now packed away in its box. I only have 10 decks, all RWS format. I haven't gotten into Oracle decks yet. You spoke of using cards in spell work. Do you have any videos on this? I would love to see them. I am new to the practice and am grateful for you sharing your knowledge. Thank you.
I connected with Lenormand super fast. I have the Gilded Lenormand and the Celtic Lenormand. When I need a direct firm reading, I always use a Lenormand deck. I learned the meanings faster and usually understand the reading better.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved your list! My very favorite deck is Hush Tarot. It is super accurate for reading for myself and others. My second favorite is Murder of Crows, which I use for communication with my deity and is consistently and brutally honest and straightforward. 😂 My favorite oracle deck is the Urban Crow Oracle. I use it for daily draws.
Hi hearth I just want to say that I love you channel and that I am grateful for your videos watching your videos inspired me to come out with being a witch and practicing witchcraft openly and you inspired me to share my experiences with others to by starting my very own witchy channel so thank you keep up the good work I’m also starting my own metaphysical shop as well
Oh I love that your David Bowie box is so snall. Mine comes in a huge box, it taiex uo a lot of space! Though ny guide book is also big. The David Bowie deck was my secobd tarot deck. I love it ^^. It reads the best for love, lust and gossip. At least for me abyway.
I recently got the pocket archetypes deck and omg it’s a game changer! I can finally do some of the larger spreads in the book and it’s so darn cute, not to mention practical! The little guidebook that comes in it has the exact same info as the fully size. I love it so much! I think you’d really enjoy it too Hearth 😊
I enjoyed this video, especially as it gives me some ways into oracle cards as I have generally stuck to Tarot this far. Anyway here are some of my picks: Best general purpose deck: Rider-Waite-Smith Radiant Tarot in a tin - compact (ideal for small hands!), durable, beautiful (recoloured with a gradient effect) - this is my 'daily driver'. Best beginner's deck: Sharman-Caselli Tarot Deck - close to RWS with some useful innovations, beautiful with its own distinct style, accessible (the big book explains the symbolism in detail as well as giving gentle guidance on interpretation). Feels very safe and positive, less brutal than the RWS. Tends to assume no reversed cards. Best for working with angels: Angel Wisdom Tarot by Radleigh Valentine - very well thought out deck that makes working with specific angels (e.g. through invocations) very easy. The traditional suits are replaced with the four elements. Cards look and feel great. Comes with a really good guidebook. Most promising under-utilized deck: The New Mythic Tarot Deck by Sharman-Burke, Caselli, Greene - beautifully illustrated and relates the Tarot to classical myths and legends. Most wanted: Thoth Tarot Deck - innovative abstract deck by the notorious Aleister Crowley. Marseille Tarot - more minimal than the RWS, influential to the development of Tarot.
I have a mini Sharman-Caselli, that I love to use for larger spreads. Like you say, very similar to RWS, but I think with a bit more charm and delicacy in the artwork.
I ended up getting the Work Your Light Oracle Cards by Campbell and Noel. I'm really delighted with them so thanks for the recommendation. The pink and blue palette and Lightworker theme speaks to me so so much! I also have a Pocket WIld Unknown on its way, so I'm looking forward to that. Cards are so much a metter of taste and what speaks to you, but there are some really great recommendation in the video, thank you!
Thank you for sharing about your deck collection!! The only one I have from this is the Animal Spirit Oracle deck by Kim Krans, which is a beloved deck and was my second Oracle one. When you showed the box for your favorite one, I thought you were going to show the Animal Familiars tarot deck as the bunny from that illustration on the box is The Moon card from that deck (one of my most-used tarot decks).
Love this video, I have the same wild unknown tarot deck to and love reading with it for my clients because it pulls no punches, it says it like it is. Fantastic deck
✨⭐️🌟 For Samhain night, watching videos of my fav witchy content creators. Learned so much from your channel! Re: Tarot, I also have a solid Rider-Waite deck I use almost daily as well being a collector with some more artistic ones like the an Animated Lenticular deck as well as a Fate Order deck I stumbled on to in Akihabara in Tokyo. I’m really intrigued by adding a layer of oracle cards to a tarot reading and the Moonology or Green Witch Oracle looks very tempting!
Hi Hearthwitch, great review and catching up on your posts, I love the Saints and Mystics Oracle deck I purchased through yourself, as you was one of the only suppliers of it, I love the artistry and you mention maybe have been glamourised which I will admit I agree, however, it is the surrounding pictorial influences that resignate to myself not so much the persons pictorial, the cards resignate meaning and influence on all the surrounding objects and depicted art so has been and still is a great source for my own use, so a thank you for introducing myself to the deck
This is a really cool video, the nose bleed when you're looking at a deck is unusual, but then again, is not unusual. Oracle of the Witch is a stunning deck and saw snippets of the meanings of the cards and am sold, but still haven't made the plunge, the artwork is on point and loving the Red, White and Black Art!!!! I do have the Avalon Oracle which I love!!!! This was a unique twist in showing some of your deck collection, Blessing!!! 💜
Hearth, My favorite deck is the Anne Stokes Gothic Tarot The artwork is gorgeous! My favorite cards are the High Prietess,The Knight of Swords & The Page of Swords
it took a while until I was able to watch this long video of yours I really enjoyed it and was surprised that you literally have none of my decks ^^ - also, I got a Lenormand deck as a present - it's called Gilded Reverie Lenormand - and the feeling best described with these is "at home" I feel like a lot of the imagery would be something taken straight out of my inner self - so for me it's the combination of Lenormand as well as the illustrations that make it my personal favourite and easiest deck to work with. I really love that you took us through so many decks of yours ⭐🌟⭐⭐ personally, I think I should get the kitchen witch one you showed.
Loved this video! I don't have enough tarot and oracle decks to need to rank them although I do agree about the Rider waite smith. It is my most accurate deck by far. Thanks for sharing the info; I didn't know about many of these decks.⭐⭐⭐
If you wanted to, you could glue the paper from the Camelot deck to poster board to make it sturdy, and then cover it with a clear self-adhesive vinyl sheet. You can probably repair the spirit's box with this stuff too. I guess you'd have to ask it.
15:55 Omgg the Fairy Tarot (number 25) you mentioned has a bad energy, I don't know if it's just because you said that and it got in my head, but when you showed the cards, I found them to be rather disturbing? Like the imagery is adorable but in a very unsettling way? And it's not just the imagery, it's just the general feel of it. Honestly, I commend you, I myself would be scared and probably try to get rid of it, which might not turn out great, just like you reasoned. Just wanted to say, that part of the video from the way you explained your experience with it to seeing the cards, it gave me chills!
✨⭐️🌟💫 loved this video Hearth! I only have a couple of decks as I waited a long time to get a deck as as a young practitioner £15 was a lot of money for me to spend on a magickal tool so I ended up making my own deck based around the raider Waite deck when I was around 13 even though I couldn’t draw and it always gave me very accurate readings! Then I received the harmony nice tarot for Christmas a few years back which I find hard to use as I forget which season is which because different flowers represent different seasons 😂 recently I purchased sea soul journeys which I love as it connects me to the water element and keeps me calm. The original raider Waite is going on my Christmas list this year though! I’ve always wanted to work with it! Thank you for such a fun video! ❤
Thanks for this video. It's always interesting to see what others are using......Rider-Waite is my go to cards too. My oldest R-W is 60yrs old now, but I agree they are easy to replace for day to day readings. My old deck is retired as it's so precious.
I love your videos very informative and well produced quality sound and video. I love hearing about people's personal tools for the craft. Thank you for all that you do.
🖤✨💕
I have had two tarot decks that I was only meant to have for a little while. I can’t remember what they were called but one of them was based on Egyptology and the other was inspired by zombies.
I was doing a reading for a friend who has very skeptical about anything metaphysical but was very interested in Egyptology. I was very drawn to the deck when I purchased it, but didn’t really have very accurate readings for myself. When reading for my friend, everything made perfect sense. I ended up giving the deck to the friend because it was clear to me that the deck was meant for them. I think somehow the deck knew that I was a vehicle to get to their chosen owner.
With the zombie deck, a similar thing happened. I was very drawn to them, purchased them, and a few months later started dating a new boyfriend. He wasn’t a skeptic. He was SUPER in to zombies. I immediately knew that the zombie deck was meant to be his.
Maybe I’m a tarot deck matchmaker✨
@carolinesuchman9723 this has happened to me too!! It's always such a sweet feeling
My Rider Waite deck was my first deck, I purchased it in 1968 using my earnings from babysitting, It is a deck that still calls to me and I always enjoy using it, the box was lost many many years ago so it is wrapped in a silk square and lives in its own carved wooden box
Not the yassification of St Teresa 😐
We're not taught correctly about her at school in the UK, so unfortunately a lot of people are unaware of the truth.
I mean, let’s be honest, Bernini already yassified her
St.Teresa of Avila?
That Game of Thrones deck is so freaking cool! Whoever made that is so talented! I’d love to buy it myself.
I have it, it was my first ever deck! It's amazing, still my favourite to work with. It doesn't sugarcoat the truth tho 😅
Edit: I have a different Game of Thrones deck, sorry!
The mass market Game of Thrones also has a linen edition and a regular card stock edition
Yaaasssss stanning for my Forest of Enchantment deck, I am so proud you agree on how amazing and accurate it is 💜
Oooo I’m so excited to find this deck I love it at first glance!
My father bought me this Beautiful deck called ⭐Ethereal Visions, by Matt Hughes⭐he ended up getting in touch with the artist and was able to get me a deck when it was pretty well sold out, and then my mother and father ended up getting me the wild unknown deck for Christmas!! I love them both vary much! I'm just timid in their use.. Thank you for showing us your decks!! It was an honor to see what worked well for you!!
I have Ethereal Visions too! It was my first deck and I eventually got the Dreamscapes Oracle deck by the same artist. I love the art on both decks it’s so beautiful and peaceful for me :)
Ethereal Visions was my first one too!
As a beginner witch I have had the exact same experience with the lenormand card readings in comparison to tarot cards. Being able to literally translate the symbols is very helpful. I was able to do incredibly accurate readings for myself and other people without much effort. 🌞🖤
More than one hour of you talking about your favourite divination tools? YES, I love it! 🙌✨😌

Thank you for putting this huge video together, hope you have a wonderful day and a great start into autumn! 🖤🍂🍁
Came here to comment and love while the opening ad is still rolling because I know how hard you’ve been working on this!
I just bought my 1st deck and was excited to see it as one that you also enjoy. 🧡💫
that green which oracle deck also includes the times you should eat and use those plants by including the astrology on to them... incase you didnt notice that.
RWS is a very special deck I think. It was my first and when I began working with it I told it what I wanted from it and it’s been reliable and growing in strength ever since. ⭐️
It’s so nice to see what resonates with each practitioner! ⭐️ My first deck was the Deviant Moon tarot and I feel so connected with it that it almost feels strange to get other decks. I did get a deck recently that I still strongly resonate with, but it’s more suited for a single to three cards draws max. And with the Deviant Moon I always feel the urge to keep pulling cards and do full spreads. I love both decks but, it definitely feels like the Deviant Moon wants to be the main deck 😄
yay! another upload! :D My favorite deck is my first... Tarot of trees... found it initially on etsy and I've never been more drawn to a deck
Brilliant idea. I put selenite strips next to big box cards ❤
Thoth has been my constant companion going on 40 years now. A strong deck that never leaves you in doubt.
My absolute favorite deck is "everyday witch " by Deborah Blake. It's so encouraging, I'll be trying to figure out what it's saying, and the strength card will jump out. Beautiful powerful energy and imagery. The deck for me doesn't operate traditional and tells me how I need to lay the cards, it's kind of amazing actually.
I also started with the Wild Unknown deck! I only have two decks for now, but I am going to expand my collection before Yule
4:25 omg the yassification of mother theresa and sir isaac newton🤭
🌟⭐🌟 I love the RWS even though I use other systems as well. I love that you have haunted decks and respect the spirits who reside there 💖
My favorite tarot deck is not my most beautiful,but it is my most sentimental. It was given to me by my mother when I was 10 years. It's the Aquarian deck
I strongly believe that decks are sometimes inhabited by entities, which I treasure. I have one deck which gives me not very kind vibes, the Enchanted Tarot, it's a weird tarot with problematic images and to it belongs the only Death card that gives me very unsettling, very uncomfortable vibes. I have the same question you have, is it this particular deck or all the printed out units the same? I think it is only this one singular deck although I also feel that the energy given off by certain decks is pretty universal: yes, the Enchanted Tarot is awesome, beautiful, gentle and accurate!
Thanks for sharing!
PS. My favourite decks are too many, it depends on the mood I'm in or the urgency of the question, I recommend The Shadowland Tarot, by Monica Bodirsky if you love Halloween and you love the Enchanted Forest ;-)
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!!!! Thank you Hearth!
This video was so fun, and you've actually introduced me to some decks I'd never seen before, or ones that I have but hadn't seen the inside cards so thank you for that!!⭐🌟
🌟Love how you give props to the brilliant and often overlooked Rider Waite Smith! Another amazing deck is Tarot of the Abyss. Black & white illustrations are so expressive, the cards practically read themselves. Great video as always! 🖤
So awesome! Stayed till the end. Thank you for your review. Wasn't a fan of oracle cards before because i prefer tarot (my favorite deck is the holographic A.E. Waite version). But, I just purchased the Green Witch Oracle Cards because of this review. I love the idea of having multiple uses of one deck of oracle cards. Thank you and much aloha from from Hawai'i!
The little Lenormand deck is my go to also. It just clicked with me immediately.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Wow I loved your collection. I have the Moon oracle deck and I work with it a lot I am working on building my collection. I wrote down a few that caught my attention Thank you for sharing
This was so lovely! Thank you. I just got my Forest Enchantment deck today, and I also got Denise Linn's Sacred Forest oracle cards -- it's my first oracle deck, and I felt an IMMEDIATE connection with them. I am in love with the Moonology and Celtic oracle decks -- going on my wishlist! Thank you so much for the effort and time you put into sharing your knowledge.
My favorite is the Tarot Playing Deck by Dead on Paper. Poker card size, pip minor arcana, detailed imagery on the court, major arcana, and aces. My absolute favorite thing about it though is the linen card stock. Its been my daily work horse deck for three years and still going strong.
My second favorite is The Tarot of the Divine. I love how it is inspired by fairy tales and folklore. The artist put a lot of thought into which stories represent which cards.
I like the tarot deck from Hit Point Press, but since its lenticular you have to put them in protective sleeves and they are terrible for shuffling of any sort. If I'm reading for someone else, I will use these cards to help the querent because the visuals are lovely and easier to understand than some of my favorite decks.
As for oracles I only have two: Laurel Grove South Cemetery Divination Deck by Holly L'Oiseau and the Seed & Sickle Oracle by Fez Inkwright. I love how personal the first deck is and how the second has such interesting interpretations of the plants it uses as inspiration.
I have the same Lenormand deck as Hearth and I agree its wonderful, but I haven't taken the time to really understand Lenormand. It has such a different way of speaking that I would really need to sit down and study it for a couple years before I felt confident.
Loved this video! I'm a subscriber but don't often comment, but I watch most all of your videos within the week of it coming out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us all 🌟🌟🌟
🌟🌟🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️💫💫💫 The RW tarot is in my top five, if not my favorite. I also love the Golden Art Nouveau Tarot. For me, it shuffles like a dream and gives accurate readings, plus the art is gorgeous. Tarot of Dreams is another favorite. It's not a style of art that I would typically like, but Ciro Marchetti has grown on me! The Crow Tarot by MJ Cullinane I absolutely love, but it can be a little hard to shuffle since the cards are a bit thick - it's a gorgeous deck, though! And I do love the Morgan Greer deck, partly for sentimental reasons, but I also like how "in your face" the art is. That's just tarot, lol. I'm still deciding how I feel about my oracle decks, as I don't spend as much time with them. 😊
One of my favorite Tarots is the Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti. I've seen pictures of the art nouveau deck, and it is beautiful.
I find Lenormand to be much better for practical things. Like, if I want to know how my day it's going to be or a specific outcome to a situation, I use the Lenormand. I don't use that particular version, I have the Dreaming Way and I love it to bits. I love Tarot for more general subjects or abstract questions, or if I want to get more depth or layered information.
I also own and really love The Mists of Avalon Oracle and the Forest of Enchantment Tarot deck, but my favorite is also Rider Waite Smith - specifically the Radiant Rider-Waite. It's so warm and vivid!
Love your videos, so much information as I’m new to my practice your my go to! You are so informative and I love the way you impress that each practitioner should stay true to their own beliefs/ practice! Not many creators do! Thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom! ❤
I just watched your video (I apologise for the lateness in watching your video😂😂), a lovely video as always, I always love the videos you put up they are so informative and helpful 😊😊 my favourite tarot deck and the one I use the most is the Vampires of Eternal Night deck it was the first tarot deck I ever bought when I started my craft, it holds so much sentimentality for me and I still use it every time I do a reading 😊😊 my favourite oracle deck is The Universe Has Your Back Deck I love the art work and the messages it has. It is my go to oracle for every oracle reading or when I draw a card 😊😊 I hope your having a nice day 😊😊 I love your content 😊😊
This has been fun! I love the Rider Waite, too. It's one of my all-time-favourites! ✨
Loved this video and yes, I watched it all the way through in one sitting! ha! I have a few of the decks you mentioned but there were a few that I don't have and some I'd never seen like Tarot of Sorceress and Oracle of the Witch which I also think the artwork is spectacular and stands out in its minimalism! I also really liked the Making Magical Oracle deck and your idea for how you use it. A deck I use a lot is the Crow Tarot which gives me really accurate readings and I connected with it immediately. I also have really come to appreciate the Ryder Waite Smith deck. I learned Tarot using that and the Wild Unknown together. However, I didn't come to really appreciate the Ryder Waite Smith deck until much later when I began really studying the symbolism in the Tarot deeply and the connections to the Kabbalah, Egyptian mythology, Christian mythology, etc. but Pamala Coleman Smith was an amazing artist and all the art on each card is very deliberate. She was incredibly intuitive. She was undervalued for her time but she was a woman way ahead of her time and I'm glad she's getting more recognition now. RWS deck has become one of my favorite decks as well and I agree it's a great one to learn from since so many decks are based it.
⭐️ This was endlessly fascinating to me! I love tarot tube videos and getting insights into what calls to other witches, pagans and readers. I also love that RWS is your top pick. I agree it’s a classic for a reason, and I am not as precious with it as I am my more rare or less replaceable decks. Great list, Hearth! 💜⭐️
Hi! I love and have some of these decks. I added a few to my list. Long ago I started out with a Hanson and Robert's deck. The art spoke to me, and the size was perfect for my small hands. I use several decks now. Thank you for sharing!
Love the comparison video! Thank you so much for publishing this! Connection to a Tarot deck is a personal thing that differs from one person to the next. Just starting collecting decks myself. My favorites thus far are Cosmic Tarot and Crow Tarot.
Love the Spring sounds you used when you showed the cards up close.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨💫✨💫✨ Thank you Hearth !! This is an absolutely AMAZING video. I so appreciate the amount of time and effort you took to go through your Tarot Decks, show them and explain when and why you use each deck. Thank you !! 🌟✨💫
Absolutely loved your video. My personal favourite is the Tarot of Light and Shadow. I also use the Old Style Lenormand which I find far easier to read than tarot. It really lends itself to intuitive reading and I'm always blown away by how accurate are the readings that it gives 💚
Thank you, Hearthwitch, for taking us with you on the journey through your favorite decks. I love the Rider Waite Smith Deck mostly, but I need to get this Celtic one, too. 💙🙏💙
also sat through the entirety of it and the last deck is divine. your videos are incredible 🌟
i think the ryder waite smith deck is really important. The symbolism is deep. The GD used to make theirs initiates draw or paint their own, to get the symbols into the unconscious/subconscious
Your collection is awesome! I love my RWS deck, ive had it for so long, its like my friend! I also love the light seers tarot deck, for me that reads well for others. Oracle i really love Angels and Ancestors, beautiful art work and messages. I love all your videos, thankyou so much for your content 🌟
Thanks for sharing, Hearth! Forest of Enchantment is on my wishlist. My favorite decks are anything by Patrick Valenza, and Pagan Otherworlds 🖤
I have been a fan for years and always learn something new from your content....which is wonderful for a witch at my age....after 32 years as a practicing witch.
I really wanted to recommend an oracle deck I believe you will love....Seasons of The Witch: Samhain Oracle! I do believe there is a Beltane deck as well. But this is a stunningly beautiful deck and I think it will appeal to your taste. Thanks again for such great content....I send many of the younger witches who come to me wanting to learn more about the Craft, to your site. Blessings
I also own the Moonolgy deck and love it , my absolute favorite at the moment is Dreams of Gaia❤❤
✨❤️❤️❤️ I love your longer videos, I really love listening to you while I’m doing my own little bits and bobs and I also love having a nosey at other peoples deck collections 😂❤ I have so many too! I really need to sell some so they can be loved and used, as you’re so right, they do unfortunately mostly sit on a shelf when they’re not really calling to you and it’s such a shame, that game of thrones deck is amazing too! I really hope they’re setting up to sell those, that talent needs to be seen and appreciated 🥰❤️❤️❤️xxx
13:18 My favourite Oracle deck (mainly for Samhain decor) !!! I agree with the loose cards in the box, so I put my cards in a velvet tarot cloth bag and then put it inside the box. It helps !!!
Thank you, Hearth. Please provide more content like this!
I just bought a new deck of playing cards to start practicing the craft today. Thank you so much for the video, Hearth. The timing is unreal🔮
It's so nice to see how many beautiful decks of cards are out there!
Enjoy! 😊
🌟🌟 Amazing video Hearth! My favourite decks are the Dark Wood tarot and Mystical Journey Oracle. The latter has helped me so much in my spiritul journey.
Love this video. I have only one Lenormand called under the roses. It’s reminds me of 90s manga. It’s so cringy in a charming way. But I don’t read Lenormand well enough yet.
So interesting to see what your favorite decks are. My top deck is labyrinth tarot. It really ask to be use all the time and only.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 27:50 😂 The reason why I love the Hanged man from the Wild Unknown Tarot by them.
Damn, I forgot how beautiful the Moonology cards are. I need to use them more since they’re my only oracle deck.
I’m hesitant to use my Forest of Enchantment deck since I don’t have a guidebook for it. 😂 The gentle energy from the cards though shouldn’t be scaring me off as much as I’ve avoided them. I guess the Wild Unknown was just abrasive with me at first until I learned to work with them and I’m scared that will happen again. I just love my Wild Unknown. I’m needing to get a tarot bag for a couple of my decks as well since the boxes are waaay big for the decks.
It’s taken me a good couple years to get a decent connection with the Wild Unknown that it can read so well for me. It was originally really good for reading for others but I don’t do that and since it was my first and only deck for so long, it’s given into me where it reads really well for just me now. Now, I don’t want to give her up to test out others. My Wild Unknown backs look exactly like the pocket version.
🌟🌟🌟Hi Hearth! I was so excited for this video to come out! I've definitely jotted down some decks I will be trying 🖤 Thank you so much! Also, I completely agree about the Halloween Oracle deck. I have it and hardly ever work with it either. The imagery definitely isn't varied enough and I've also found the guide book to be oddly unhelpful. I've actually been working with the Seasons of the Witch Samhain Oracle lately and it's definitely delivered on the spooky season vibes I was looking for with the Halloween Oracle, so that might be worth a try! xo
New to your channel, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I'm really enjoying your videos. 💜✨🍃🏵️
Ame este video hasta el final❤ te he descubierto hace poco , y me parece maravilloso toda la sabiduría clara y fresca que transmitis, me encantó saber sobre los espíritus de algunas barajas , he sentido ese tipo de conexión y me pareció fascinante como lo describiste!!! Gracias!!!❤❤❤
I'm so glad you are a fan of the Rider Waite deck. I learned on this system (still learning) and I love this deck. I have other decks that are RWS format and there's one I think you would love. It's the Heaven & Earth deck...a bit on the dark side....for instance, the Queen of Swords is holding her sword in one hand but is holding a severed head in her other hand....she who does not suffer fools gladly. LOL. But I get good readings from this deck also. Like you, I've gotten sucked in to a deck by the stunning artwork, only to find that I don't connect with the deck. The Gilded Tarot by Ciro Marchetti is just gorgeous but I don't get good readings from it and it's now packed away in its box. I only have 10 decks, all RWS format. I haven't gotten into Oracle decks yet. You spoke of using cards in spell work. Do you have any videos on this? I would love to see them. I am new to the practice and am grateful for you sharing your knowledge. Thank you.
Thank you. I am currently working a lot with the Nicolette Ceccoli Tarot deck for my own readings. 🌠
I connected with Lenormand super fast. I have the Gilded Lenormand and the Celtic Lenormand. When I need a direct firm reading, I always use a Lenormand deck. I learned the meanings faster and usually understand the reading better.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved your list! My very favorite deck is Hush Tarot. It is super accurate for reading for myself and others. My second favorite is Murder of Crows, which I use for communication with my deity and is consistently and brutally honest and straightforward. 😂 My favorite oracle deck is the Urban Crow Oracle. I use it for daily draws.
🤩⭐️✨🌟💫 i love your videos Hearth. Thank you for always posting i really love them
Hi hearth I just want to say that I love you channel and that I am grateful for your videos watching your videos inspired me to come out with being a witch and practicing witchcraft openly and you inspired me to share my experiences with others to by starting my very own witchy channel so thank you keep up the good work I’m also starting my own metaphysical shop as well
10:09 these would be so good for just like meditating on and using for traveling/journeying into
Oh I love that your David Bowie box is so snall. Mine comes in a huge box, it taiex uo a lot of space! Though ny guide book is also big. The David Bowie deck was my secobd tarot deck. I love it ^^. It reads the best for love, lust and gossip. At least for me abyway.
I recently got the pocket archetypes deck and omg it’s a game changer! I can finally do some of the larger spreads in the book and it’s so darn cute, not to mention practical! The little guidebook that comes in it has the exact same info as the fully size. I love it so much! I think you’d really enjoy it too Hearth 😊
I enjoyed this video, especially as it gives me some ways into oracle cards as I have generally stuck to Tarot this far. Anyway here are some of my picks:
Best general purpose deck:
Rider-Waite-Smith Radiant Tarot in a tin - compact (ideal for small hands!), durable, beautiful (recoloured with a gradient effect) - this is my 'daily driver'.
Best beginner's deck:
Sharman-Caselli Tarot Deck - close to RWS with some useful innovations, beautiful with its own distinct style, accessible (the big book explains the symbolism in detail as well as giving gentle guidance on interpretation). Feels very safe and positive, less brutal than the RWS. Tends to assume no reversed cards.
Best for working with angels:
Angel Wisdom Tarot by Radleigh Valentine - very well thought out deck that makes working with specific angels (e.g. through invocations) very easy. The traditional suits are replaced with the four elements. Cards look and feel great. Comes with a really good guidebook.
Most promising under-utilized deck:
The New Mythic Tarot Deck by Sharman-Burke, Caselli, Greene - beautifully illustrated and relates the Tarot to classical myths and legends.
Most wanted:
Thoth Tarot Deck - innovative abstract deck by the notorious Aleister Crowley.
Marseille Tarot - more minimal than the RWS, influential to the development of Tarot.
I have a mini Sharman-Caselli, that I love to use for larger spreads. Like you say, very similar to RWS, but I think with a bit more charm and delicacy in the artwork.
I ended up getting the Work Your Light Oracle Cards by Campbell and Noel. I'm really delighted with them so thanks for the recommendation. The pink and blue palette and Lightworker theme speaks to me so so much!
I also have a Pocket WIld Unknown on its way, so I'm looking forward to that.
Cards are so much a metter of taste and what speaks to you, but there are some really great recommendation in the video, thank you!
12:45 yeah I have this and the art is cool although it’s hard for me to see as well as I want. I haven’t really used mine..
Thank you for sharing about your deck collection!! The only one I have from this is the Animal Spirit Oracle deck by Kim Krans, which is a beloved deck and was my second Oracle one. When you showed the box for your favorite one, I thought you were going to show the Animal Familiars tarot deck as the bunny from that illustration on the box is The Moon card from that deck (one of my most-used tarot decks).
I agree. Bats are very underappreciated creatures.
Loved this video. So informative! Thanks for sharing your deck collection with us.
Love this video, I have the same wild unknown tarot deck to and love reading with it for my clients because it pulls no punches, it says it like it is. Fantastic deck
✨⭐️🌟 For Samhain night, watching videos of my fav witchy content creators. Learned so much from your channel!
Re: Tarot, I also have a solid Rider-Waite deck I use almost daily as well being a collector with some more artistic ones like the an Animated Lenticular deck as well as a Fate Order deck I stumbled on to in Akihabara in Tokyo.
I’m really intrigued by adding a layer of oracle cards to a tarot reading and the Moonology or Green Witch Oracle looks very tempting!
I feel like you would really like the foragers daughter tarot. Its in line with the nature vibe of some of your decks and the artwork is beautiful!
I am so glad I decided to read the comments. I just looked up this deck and oh my god I am absolutly in love with them. They are now on my wishlist.
Hi Hearthwitch, great review and catching up on your posts, I love the Saints and Mystics Oracle deck I purchased through yourself, as you was one of the only suppliers of it, I love the artistry and you mention maybe have been glamourised which I will admit I agree, however, it is the surrounding pictorial influences that resignate to myself not so much the persons pictorial, the cards resignate meaning and influence on all the surrounding objects and depicted art so has been and still is a great source for my own use, so a thank you for introducing myself to the deck
This is a really cool video, the nose bleed when you're looking at a deck is unusual, but then again, is not unusual.
Oracle of the Witch is a stunning deck and saw snippets of the meanings of the cards and am sold, but still haven't made the plunge, the artwork is on point and loving the Red, White and Black Art!!!!
I do have the Avalon Oracle which I love!!!!
This was a unique twist in showing some of your deck collection, Blessing!!! 💜
❤❤❤❤ My #1 Tarot is the Moonchild Tarot. My #1 Oracle is the Vintage Wisdom. They speak to me in a way that let's me know how deeply we are connected.
Both of these are in my top 5 as well!
Thank you Hearth, your decks are beautiful,be blessed always🤗⭐️🌠🌟
🤩⭐️🌟💫🤩 loved this video and bought 3 new sets. I love runes & the Angels & Ancestors oracle cards. Thank You 💚💚💚
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm a noob and you are the first witch RUclipsr I'm watching. You are great. Thank you for your content!! ❤
I love the woodland wardens oracle! It's plant and animals paired.
Loved seeing and hearing your thoughts on all the different decks. ⭐🌟🌠
Hearth, My favorite deck is the Anne Stokes Gothic Tarot
The artwork is gorgeous!
My favorite cards are the High Prietess,The Knight of Swords & The Page of Swords
Love you sharing all your beautiful decks. I own about 30 myself and none of them were these it was nice to see new ones. 💕
it took a while until I was able to watch this long video of yours
I really enjoyed it and was surprised that you literally have none of my decks ^^ - also, I got a Lenormand deck as a present - it's called Gilded Reverie Lenormand - and the feeling best described with these is "at home" I feel like a lot of the imagery would be something taken straight out of my inner self - so for me it's the combination of Lenormand as well as the illustrations that make it my personal favourite and easiest deck to work with. I really love that you took us through so many decks of yours
⭐🌟⭐⭐ personally, I think I should get the kitchen witch one you showed.
Loved this video! I don't have enough tarot and oracle decks to need to rank them although I do agree about the Rider waite smith. It is my most accurate deck by far. Thanks for sharing the info; I didn't know about many of these decks.⭐⭐⭐
If you wanted to, you could glue the paper from the Camelot deck to poster board to make it sturdy, and then cover it with a clear self-adhesive vinyl sheet. You can probably repair the spirit's box with this stuff too. I guess you'd have to ask it.
💖 love your videos Hearth, you're always informative and entertaining
Lol, I saw that pack at the book store the other day. I don't think I can afford halloween this year
yay witching time with Heart
15:55 Omgg the Fairy Tarot (number 25) you mentioned has a bad energy, I don't know if it's just because you said that and it got in my head, but when you showed the cards, I found them to be rather disturbing? Like the imagery is adorable but in a very unsettling way? And it's not just the imagery, it's just the general feel of it. Honestly, I commend you, I myself would be scared and probably try to get rid of it, which might not turn out great, just like you reasoned. Just wanted to say, that part of the video from the way you explained your experience with it to seeing the cards, it gave me chills!
The Fairy Tarot works well with me 🥰
✨⭐️🌟💫 loved this video Hearth! I only have a couple of decks as I waited a long time to get a deck as as a young practitioner £15 was a lot of money for me to spend on a magickal tool so I ended up making my own deck based around the raider Waite deck when I was around 13 even though I couldn’t draw and it always gave me very accurate readings! Then I received the harmony nice tarot for Christmas a few years back which I find hard to use as I forget which season is which because different flowers represent different seasons 😂 recently I purchased sea soul journeys which I love as it connects me to the water element and keeps me calm. The original raider Waite is going on my Christmas list this year though! I’ve always wanted to work with it!
Thank you for such a fun video! ❤
Thanks for this video. It's always interesting to see what others are using......Rider-Waite is my go to cards too. My oldest R-W is 60yrs old now, but I agree they are easy to replace for day to day readings. My old deck is retired as it's so precious.
I love the ⭐ Oak, Ash & Thorn deck (volume 1.1) from Three Trees Tarot⭐ really beautiful cards and good readings.
I love your videos very informative and well produced quality sound and video. I love hearing about people's personal tools for the craft. Thank you for all that you do.
51:26 I really only use my deck to read for me. I’ve considered getting the tin for reading for others.
