I shared this deck just quickly over a year ago because I thought it was so cute….I love animal Oracles but not so much animal tarot!!! I immediately connected with this…. I have since trimmed the guilding and edged in vintage photo… Love it!!!! The 5 of Air makes me laugh everytime!!
Albatross is different than seagull. The albatross is much bigger and is the bird that can fly farthest from the shore out to sea. Traditionally sailors would keep an eye out for them as they were the first indicator of land.
I just got this deck yesterday. Loved the look of the gilding but it was put on so thick I had to crack the cards apart. May trim its as it makes it hard to shuffle and spread. Plus the cards are too big for my hands. I'm not a fan of the non animal cards (mermaid, unicorn, dragon) as it feels like they don't belong. ( Like I'd love either all magical or all real animals). Overall I do like it though. Can't wait to dive into the guidebook.
This is just a cute deck! I love the artstyle - like in a fairytale or storybook! I usually don't like scenes on backings, even though I don't read reversals with every deck. But these backings? So cute! I like the distressed look. But the hard black borders and the titles don't fit. It's so bold. And I don't like shiny gold guilding in general. So what to do? Trimm it down to just the artwork, since it's RWS and I don't need the titles anyway. Makes same smaller and closer to tarot size, too :D
I'm so super excited that you like this deck and book so much! Is it weird that this is one of my favorite decks of all time and I never realized it had a quick reference for the animals?? I never read the introduction parts because I always jump straight to the card descriptions!
Not weird! I read the book for my first and fave deck once and threw it away. 🤣 Regretted that years later and got it again.... But yah! Now you know 😂😂
Lately, I'm discovering I have really picky tastes about animal decks?!???!?? 🤷🏼♀️ This one is too animally for me... But the gentle tarot is right up my alley. 🤷🏼♀️I don't understand me. 🤣
I totally get it - I can be oddly specific about certain things too!!! There are a lot of things about this deck I shouldn't like.. but do? I don't know. I can't explain it!! 🤷♀️
@@Lisa_Papez 😆 I watched this video with my husband on pause just fast forwarding in 5 second increments while it was muted so I could just talk about all the things I didn't like about it. My husband was like "You're gonna buy this deck, aren't you? You're obsessed." 🤣🤣🤣
Arghhh! I don’t need any more decks. I don’t like animal heads on human bodies. I don’t like gilding. But I really like the variety of animals (many I haven’t seen in a deck before) and they seem perfectly chosen for each archetype. And that guidebook! I might cave. …Your walkthrough and squee-ing was super fun. :)
I really like this deck. I like the choice of animals. I like the book. I love the Justice card. But I CANNOT get over the human hands and feet. It completely ruins the deck for me. ☹
Aspect Ratio is the word you're looking for.

Ermines are part of the weasel family. Their coat is white in winter and brown in summer. Ermines, stoats and minks are all part of the weasel family.
Is that a Unicorn in the Carousel card?! Oh my! Such a cute deck
Frogs are water based - toads are land based.
the images reminds me of picture books I read to my kiddo. stinking cute!!

Rabbits are smaller than hares. Hares have longer ears and bigger hind feet.

Ok I am not an animal deck person. That being said… this deck has taken me in and I’m about it!
Oh no, I kept saying no to this deck, but I might need to rethink that! 🙂 Thank you for sharing it with us! ❤️
The book is INCREDBLE.... I can't put it down!
The color intensity is too soft for me, but I love everything else about this deck. Wonderful work!
Albatrosses and seagulls look very similar, but are different birds. Albatrosses are freaking huge!
