I love how most anti-haul videos are what the person doesn't want, what isn't appealing to them, even easy pass, and Lisa's anti-haul video is basically everything she either already bought and loved but convinced herself to let go or everything she almost bought and backed already. And most likely still has in and out her cart. 😂❤
Truth!! 😂🤣In reality, I used to talk about stuff that didn't tempt me *at all* - total easy pass decks... but I feel like it's more helpful to talk through passing up temptation for the new in favor of what I already have and love! Mind you, I should really still occasionally highlight the easy pass ones. :D
@@Lisa_Papez I think this consept is much more interesting. 🤣 And exciting! I almost feel like at the edge of my seat watching you talk yourself out of things, and kinda back in, but out makes more sense, but then again.. 👏👏👏🤩
It is great to know of other's opinions and reasons. It helps make your mind about how strongly you feel about a deck purchase. In this video, I learned about decks I didn't know about. Your way of reasoning is interesting, and open up new ways of seeing your deck collection. 😊
23:30 this is exactly the deck I was expecting you to say! I agree the vibes are similar enough if you already have & love the Holy Spectrum, but I’ll admit I was thinking of the first edition HS. I couldn’t use that deck, not because I didn’t like the colors, per se, but because the artwork as a whole had a very odd effect on my body and I didn’t like the way it felt! I’ve always wondered if anyone else ever felt that. It’s similar to what I feel when I look at some of Daniel Martin Diaz’s art (especially the ones with a clear “alien” theme). ANYWAY, thanks for another fun, thought provoking video! Please tell Peggy the “emotional damage” accessory is just brilliant on that bag! 😂💕💕
My Cantigee is just fine. Must be a problem with a batch of decks. Maybe the publisher will give you a new deck. Schiffer did that a few times when I got botched decks from them. Sending them all the way from the USA to Europe even.
You doing these videos has helped me pass up decks that im wanting but dont need. Youve helped us try to see that we dont need ALL the decks. Lol. I have about 25 decks and i am starting to feel overwhelmed with that so im trying to stay lower than 30.
This is so great to hear! That's why I started making this series, and Say Yes to the Deck and even Hot Takes - to have opportunities to appreciate all the things but not necessarily buy all the things :D And I'm launching a brand new series also in this vein next month! It really means a lot to know that they're helpful. Not everyone has a deck overwhelm point, but for those of us that do - they're at very different places. For me, it's always the point at which the size of my collection feels more like clutter than variety, which is nebulous and hard to define but that's how it is!
same here! I get even overwhelmed by just having too many decks on my wishlist, and videos like anti-haul or decluttering etc. help me with cutting it back to a length I can look at and feel relaxed.
Hi Lisa! Always luv your stuffs. You always have good info & keep me in the loop of whats out there. I was hoping you could do a video on a "tarot on the go" bag/purse or what ever someone may use when they are out & traveling around with their tarot & companies.... ??❤
I love your makeup today that color on your eyes is so beautiful on you. I am loving the round deck. If you do let it go I'm interested in purchasing it from you. I like the character of it and it will fit my life so well.
Thank you!! I had fun with this eye look - I sort of mixed pink and copper, mostly. Was fun to play. I don't gravitate towards warmer shades as much lately, so it was different. :D And you're welcome to email me about the Cantigee oracle, but just be aware I'm in Canada so I have to factor in shipping and it may be less expensive to just buy it new from a mass market retailer. :) My email is tarot with lisa at gmail :)
I backed the Tarot of Aphrodite and Magick Cottage but I passed up the Animal & Botanical as well, despite feeling soooooooo torn! At first, I was going to back it immediately based on the art style. But then, I looked at the 78 cards up close. I noticed there was a domestic dog featured in one of the cards, but no domestic cat. I believe there were 2 wild cats but as a cat lover I got a bit disappointed and I knew intuitively I just would feel salty about that every time I used the deck and it just wouldn't click for me. Lisa, thanks for making these anti-hauls. It helps me be a more mindful consumer and really helps me curb my impulse spending when I watch your videos.
I love the Luminous Void tarot! I'm a watercolor artist and comfortable with the images. SUCH a shame about the round deck. I would buy it in a heartbeat if it were on best card stock.
I can’t say no to the Magical Cottage. I have 3 of the 4 and Absolutely love them. I pull one before bed and the thoughts they give me to go to sleep with are so worth it to me. It truly is magical. Love your videos.
The Somnia is in my top 3 decks but I kind of knew it was not up your alley. But I'm glad you gave it a chance! I also love the Cantigee Oracle and my cardstock is just fine. Maybe you got a poor copy. I got the Terra Volatile some months ago, because I loved the art but didn't really think I'd use it so much. Boy was I wrong! It reads incredibly well and is just beautiful - I say you give it a try! I'm also glad you're as radiant and in a good mood as you used to be, so I hope your sorrow is over!
💚your anti-hauls. So sorry to hear about the Cantigee Oracle. I love it so much. I hate the card stock, but mine isn't warped like yours. I wonder if it's because I live in an arid climate🤔 Another round deck I love is Sawyer's Nature Portals oracle. It doesn't get a lot of play in my collection because it's an animal deck, but the quality is lovely. Honestly, I just have too many animal decks, lol. I love the Forhaxa. It lived by my bed for about a year. I still use it for deep reflective work. It's confronting and simultaneously gentle. I use it during the dark months. When I reach for it, it's never really with fae in mind oddly enough. Blessings to you!
Lol I actually do find that charming about you! 😂😂😂 Also I am 100% with you on simultaneously knowing that Stunning Tarot and Holy Spectrum are not the same, but it's almost like Holy Spectrum fills the need for me that the Stunning seems to fill for others. Like you, I've never really been tempted by Jonasa Jaus decks. But I've never hit "buy now" so fast once I saw the Infinity version of HS. And I leave my fingerprints too 😊
I have all three editions of The Gentle Tarot and I love all of them but don’t often use the mini in a tin. I thought I would use the in a tin for travel, but i usually use the linen for that because of the little meanings cards. I love using the guidebook with it so i think that's why.
Omg I forget the name of the luminous void always too! For me I think my mind goes to the word “liminal” first then blinds me from the correct word! That’s so odd it happens to you as well #stillwatching
I totally agree with you on the Tarot of the Holy Spectrum and the Stunning Tarot. It was the first thing I thought of too. I think it is the bright bold colours. However I feel the system of the Holy Spectrum has an RWS feel where the Stunning tarot follows the T de Marseille style. I need to research more but i believe the Jonasa Jaus decks were closely influenced by the Jodorovsky book, I am yet to research which book she followed which inspired her decks. The language is Galatian on the deck titles itself which i beliebe is her native language. So to sum up I feel like its two different systems but a very similar aesthetic. I totally get how you feel on this one Lisa 😊
Can you give us your opinion on Ai generated tarot decks? I feel guilty desiring them over actual artistic artwork, how can we support real artists when Ai art is becoming so prominent?
@@Jen-e-sis I have shared my mutable thoughts about AI decks across multiple videos. In a nutshell, at this current time I'm not comfortable with them. I'm open to seeing what happens, but I don't currently feel comfy supporting or sharing AI decks on the channel, myself.
When you were about to name the Tarot of the Holy Spectrum as a comparison to the Jonasa Jaus I legit held my breath because I have been able to avoid buying a couple of the Jonasa Jaus decks because I get a similar vibe in the things I like about them. The different Jonasa Jaus editions are stunning. But I also feel too much pressure with how quickly they consistently sell out and I suspect it would be a deck that I think is gorgeous but that would sit unused after the initial excitement. I love both editions of the holy spectrum. The original very much feels like my teen and early twenties in a way. I call it my coming of age deck. The Infinity hits differently and I am loving it. I was especially excited to start using it as the weather warms and the garden is filling with flowers which is happening now! It was such a validation to hear you compare the two and know I wasn’t the only one. I will happily watch videos with any of the Jonasa Jaus decks. But for now I am content not bringing it into my home. Although if it was available for me to play with I absolutely would!
I didn't have either one until the most recent Jonasa Jaus sale a few weeks ago when I was able to grab a copy of the Stunning Tarot. I'm still amazed I was in the right place at the right time for that 😮 (eta: it didn't sell out the same day, or even same week, I kept checking, so IDK how fast it normally does but I've seen many go a lot faster than that. I'm just usually way later than that, LOL!)
Hear me out - Terra Volatile's art style is not my cup of tea either, but the extra suit brings so much to the tarot and the guidebook is so well thought out and checks ALL of the boxes. If you haven't already, you should read some of the guidebook!
🤣 Listen... I can make way for spider cards for sure but when they are pictured in such a scary 'we just wrapped up this hooman/fae creature for later snackage' way.... I just can't 😂🤣
While it may, at least for now, not be for you… the Terra Volatile is by far my top deck. It truly is the one they will be prying from my cold dead hands. I’m so eagerly awaiting the book which I preordered within about two minutes of them opening it for sale.
Gentle tarot linen edition is so worth it! It's smaller and easier to shuffle. And I still have my full size. Both are amazing. The pocket I was highly dissapointed. Just too small, hard to shuffle, I had issues with the tin storage...
I get what you mean by saying no to getting this or that deck. I'm already there. I'm only waiting for a discontinued deck that my brother found for me and that's it. I have more than enough. I get along with most of my decks and have less than 14. That's more than enough. 😅
This video was cute and funny. You are not alone. The Stunning Tarot and the Tarot of the Holy Spectrum are similar to me as well. I did not buy the Stunning Tarot for this same reason.
These videos are like the “shop my stash” videos in Makeup RUclips. I see what you’re saying about the Lilifer. That is a beautiful edition on kickstarter and I was tempted because they are all labeled. I own the Forhaxa Tarot and it’s beautiful. The spider card didn’t get to me, I just wish those decks were regular tarot size. I have been thinking also about buying the Forager’s Daughter Tarot & guidebook. I think I’d really enjoy reading about the plants & animals. 💜💜💜
I love when you do these videos!! It's definitely challenging to say no to a deck. I know that feeling all too well. Every time I tell myself I'm going on a 'no buy'................ I usually don't make it. LOL Good for you for saying no, talking yourself out of decks. I need to do that more.
That’s the exact reason I can’t get the forhaxa. I have decks with small spiders here and there but that one was too much. I’m arachnophobic and the first walk through I watched had me so upset when I saw that card!
I get so stinkin excited when I see one of your videos uploaded and it’s a long one. I could listen to you talk about tarot for hours. I also learn so so much from your videos and thoughts so thank you from a tarot newbie.
That spider 8 of swords is exactly why I didn’t buy the indie. However I’m tempted now to buy the mass market and cover them with butterflies stickers. I’m so glad I’m not the only one turned off by quick sell outs. I like to take my time to really buy something, especially with how costly tarot can be.
I've also had to talk myself out of the Terra Volatile many times! If it's meant to be, the deck with find its way to us. I own the Forhaxa Tarot and some of the cards are incredibly frightening but there are also magical, calm and serene cards. I think of it has my box of chocolates deck, I never know what I'm going to get. Thanks for another wonderful video, Lisa!
I appreciate these videos. I have about 400 decks - because I never declutter - but you've helped me be really intentional about what additional decks I obtain. Unless a new deck significantly differs from what I already own AND has images I'm completely drawn to - like no wavering in my spirit - it's a pass for me. Just FYI for future warped decks, if you spritz the back of the warped cards with a little water, and then put each individual card under weight, the card will be straight when it dries. I have to do that with watercolor paper. Just don't put them all together when they're damp. I had to unwarp the tarot of vampires deck so I put each card between separate book pages and put weight on the entire book.
Ooh, Terra Volatile is European (unlike many of the beautiful decks featured), so the price seems acceptable to me as a filthy Euro (lol), never knew it existed, love it, definite wishlist. I do find that MANY of the gorgeous indie artist decks featured on TarotTube are usocentric... which is great for you guys, but I feel left out, hahah :D
I think all the Jonasa Jaus art is, well, stunning haha and very unique. I had the second edition of JJ and lived it but then I wasn't really using it. Matbe it was when I wasn't really using tarot decks. I've wanted the Stunning for years, maybe for the art more than practical use but then a lot of images changed. Anyway, I think I get what you're saying about the deck you showed that's your dupe..... it has a slight hint of it but it's very very different to me. But that's awesome you were able to avoid getting the other deck especially since you're getting such good use out of this one.
I'm in Canada too and I did spring for the Terra Volatile and the Expansion pack. This was about a year ago when the Misery Collector card went out with a typo. So I just bought an add'l expansion pack to get the Misery Collector without the typo. SO: just saying, if you do/did get the core deck and wanted the High Priestess from the expansion pack I would be happy to pop it into the mail to you. I don't need two of them! I was about to list all the expansion pack cards to my Magpie Card Swaps spreadsheet anyway. Also, the big book is still languishing in production limbo and I think may be for some time. If that makes the math any different. I did preorder it and am happy to wait but this turned into one of my Top 5 All Time/Desert Island decks, so I'm fine with a wait. If it's an iffy deck for you, then skip the book for now. The website guide is amazing already & I really only use it for the added Vessels suit as I learn those cards. I'll be honest as much as I adore the Robert Place decks, it doesn't replace TV to me. In fact, I'd say TV is a deck that references alchemy, but it's not first and foremost 'an alchemy deck' at all. Like how Thoth is not just "an astrology deck", it's that but so so much more. TV is so so much more than "an alchemy deck", it's an all-in-one deck that I think, in all honesty and I've been into tarot since the 90s, TV is destined to become a timeless classic. The Place decks are niche, this is bigger than that. (I'm printing product labels while I listen-watch to this and about to start my laundry LOL. I did get the Majick Cottage KS -- it's not much like any oracles I have, I almost never ever go animal decks, so it was different enough to justify.)
Yrahhhh Terra Volatile was pricy for me too but I was happy I got it, it's fun to work with and jump into their guide. Definitely worth it hopefully you can find it cheaper used ❤
Ha ha ha I'm 37 min in...you take as long as you want girl!!!😁😁😁 I got plenty of laundry and dishes that are gettin done 😂😂😂😂love your videos, helps make the mundane more magical😊
Thank you for making the Stunning Tarot to Tarot of the Holy Spectrum comparison because I’d been having the exact same thoughts and wondered if I was just making things up!! It was also super helpful for you to share your thoughts on the Infinity edition vs. standard because that’s exactly how I feel and couldn’t put into words why I only want the Infinity edition. 💕
If you want the Terra Volatile dear girl let me know cause you can have mine for a song. I pull it out now and then and it's just so dark (color wise) that I don't connect. Beautiful, but not for me. Just let me know! Majick Cottage is by the Arboridium creators and I freaking love that deck, I'm just saying. And yes, Asherah is my Thoth deck forever. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these decks! 🧡
I'm trying to stop myself buying the limited edition citadel deck. I think that's what it's called anyway. 😅 I don't think I would use the campaign booklet. I'm not bothered about the fancy box, or the red edging. Or even really the coin. I just want the main deck and the extra oracle Im stuck as to whether I gamble on the chance that the extra oracle will come out separately later 😬🙈
Oof... i hear you! I'm not sure I'll get a chance to use the campaign booklet either. I'm kinda lowkey delighted about the coin though cuz i do use those. As for the Deck of Emblems - it really is awesome.... but.... I wouldn't say you need it to enjoy the Citadel, so if cost is an issue, I say take the gamble and hold off for now. The Mass Market citadel has so much good stuff in it all by itself!
@@Lisa_Papez yeah I just love the way the extra oracle works as clarifiers. Oh man I wish they sold them seperately! Well anyways awesome video as always, much love to you and all the community. Xx
Becoming a connoisseur of tarot cardstock is painful, eh?! I am on a depth year so I pre ordered the tarot of the Witches garden and the Tyldewick (your comments section made me do it) but have held fast to not buying 2nd hand decks on Ebay, your anti hauls have helped me keep in mind that decklust fades.
The Tyldwick is so special and I'm pretty sure I'm scooping up the Witch's Garden. I'm so glad that these anti-hauls help you think clearly outside of decklust!! :) Making these videos helps me too!
So so soooooo excited for the Terra Volatile book!!!!! Maybe you could just get the book for now? (Well in Sept)....to see what you think....and get the deck later? That way you have the art and all the alchemical info?🤔
Because you said that 8oS is literally what nightmares are made of makes me totally think this would be the perfect deck for you to workout some shadows! Like that is literally the nightmare card! Lol to be honest I had to look at my deck because I was convinced that card wasn't even in the indie version lol.
I’m not here to convince you to buy a new deck but the riffle of the linen edition of the gentle tarot would be so much better for a travel version..😂 The alice deck seems like RWS clone and you tried to declutter those already. I think your actual deck bring much more to the table. The magick cottage would be great to read at my cottage but I feel it would get too limited use..
That's such a good point, Isabella, about the Alice in Tarotland being more of a RWS clone! Thanks for that!! :D And yes totally agree that the linen gentle would be more up my street if I decide I want/need a smaller Gentle Tarot!
I bought the Baroque tarot deck, it’s gold gilded and I haven’t picked it up other than using it three times because I don’t want to ruin it! This is the problem with nice fancy decks like terra volitare
I get it about the Stunning Tarot. I have the Holy Spectrum and have said the same thing to myself about the Stunning Tarot. There is a very similar aesthetic in the color and styling. I get you.
The Terra Volatile is on my list, but it keeps getting bumping down. By the time I'm ready to get it, it's usually sold out! I backed the Lilifer Gold Tarot. I passed it by the first printing, but couldn't resist this edition.
I have the Aboridium Oracle deck and the story book that goes with it. I absolutely love it! But I don't feel the need to get the other ones, I feel like having the OG scratches the itch. It covers so many areas that I look at the new decks and don't see how they would expand on what I have enough to feel like I need them. I have been tempted by Terra Volatile, but I already have several deks that have layers and are deep that I haven't fully studied, so I don't use often.. I worry that would be another.
I feel the same way about terra volitile. Im holding off because i dont think I'd use it. Its awesome and linen but not something I would probably read with.
I backed the Thoth Journey at almost the 11th hour. Apparently there is an issue with the card I used. If I can't get it resolved in the time allotted, I am taking it as a sign that I don't need a Thoth deck right now. It's the only one that has really tempted me to dip my toes into that system.
Awesome video... but my Woodland Wardens is the worst card stock i have ever had. So badly warped and barely used because of it. Would love to have the same edition that you have because it is so beautiful
Great video! Regarding Terra Volatile, the pdf guidebook is no longer available as people printed it out, made a book, and sold it so the creators took it down. 😢 I'm so sad, because the new guidebook is too expensive and I'm not going to get it. I like the deck you already have to fill in for Aphrodite tarot much better. Good call! ❤
@Lisa_Papez I don't know, I think Dustin did a thing on the new book in one of his Sunday morning shows, so I went to look at it, and was so sad to see the reason for making the book, and that pdf was taken down. 😢
Yea, Somnia has never been for me. I don't like the sheets over everyone. Luminous Void! Haha I'm excited to see what the new version of Witches' Wisdom will be like. I love the large cards so if they are smaller I will get it but keep both. Yea I have both the large edition and linen edition of Gentle Tarot. I don't like the linen because of the color saturation and the edges are chippy. I keep it for travel tho. I love Forhaxa, I will be getting the mass market in addition to my indie. Spiders don't bother me, most bugs don't generally tho. Haha I imagine you will NEVER get the Cursed Auguries. Oh the Sidhe is such a hard no for me. I'm with you on the Baba wooden boxes, I prefer the cardboard ones. I love the HP in the Terra Volatile expansion. I also use a lot of others from the expansion as well. So inversely maybe the Tarot of Aphrodite will scratch the itch for those of us who can't get Delphi.
Does the big TV book have full pics of the cards? If so, I think you should get the big book for TV and not get the deck. You can use the book as a tarot reference book. I have decluttered decks and kept the guidebook (Dark Goddess and True Heart specifically) because those were not usable decks for me.
Omg! I have the Forhaxa indie and that card terrifies me too! Omg the whole deck is a bit creepy for me anyways because they all have buggy wings. 😆 I’m such a chicken! I tried, I swear I did, because I’m a fan of MJ’s art and I don’t have any other fae decks. Can’t do it 😑 I’ll be rehoming it for sure. I don’t feel too bad because I actually got it for sale when she had one of those buy this book and get surprise deck add on for $10 and that was my surprise deck. 😂😂😂 Huge surprise! 🤣 it’s a gorgeous deck tho. I’m just a big ass chicken.
THANK YOU for the Nightmare Arachnid warning on the Forhaxa Tarot!!! I'd been looking at it and considering, and now I know to steer clear. Maybe decks should come with common trigger warnings! 😮
I really appreciate this video! The decks you already own, some of them I never seen before, I might go and do a big research now! I also love Somina tarot artwork, it's very beautiful, but I never purchased it because I cannot connect to decks without faces. I need a face to read from their gestures, emotions, etc, and I knew for that reason I'm not gonna use it so there was no point of buying it. And yes, the Stunning Tarot deck has a similar vibe to the other one you showed, I know what you mean! Best wishes!
I was scared you were going to dump the Boo tarot when it comes to card stock 😮 I just finished the Robin Wood tarot book you recommended, it was great!!!
I don't know League of Legends but..... for realsies relatable. I actually have done that once, on a reading cloth Peggy showed me... stonehenge one if I remember correctly. She made the first one and i'm like GIMME! :D (before she could sell it LOL)
Holy Spectrum definitely has a similar feel to stunning tarot but I much prefer it Strangely I really like the shininess of the mirror backs, which is not my usual esthetic. I think your finger print thing is probably why we like to modify our decks too. Territorial marking 😂, I guess that makes Dawn M a queen of her territory.😂
Yeah, I am with you. The Terra Volatile is gorgeous, but I would never use it. However, I am not a huge Alice in Wonderland fan. It isn't a story that I have a need to have in my home or deck that brings tarot and the world together. But....That Alice in Tarotland may be calling my name.
I love how most anti-haul videos are what the person doesn't want, what isn't appealing to them, even easy pass, and Lisa's anti-haul video is basically everything she either already bought and loved but convinced herself to let go or everything she almost bought and backed already. And most likely still has in and out her cart. 😂❤

I can’t say no to the Magical Cottage. I have 3 of the 4 and Absolutely love them. I pull one before bed and the thoughts they give me to go to sleep with are so worth it to me. It truly is magical. Love your videos.
Oh yes if I had others - i'd not be able to pass it up either!!
I love your anti hauls
The Somnia is in my top 3 decks but I kind of knew it was not up your alley. But I'm glad you gave it a chance! I also love the Cantigee Oracle and my cardstock is just fine. Maybe you got a poor copy.
I got the Terra Volatile some months ago, because I loved the art but didn't really think I'd use it so much. Boy was I wrong! It reads incredibly well and is just beautiful - I say you give it a try!
I'm also glad you're as radiant and in a good mood as you used to be, so I hope your sorrow is over!
Thank you so much Arignon! March and early April were difficult and it's still a process, but I'm feeling so much more myself, now, for sure!!
For anyone in the comments who are not arachnophobic, the Forhaxa Tarot is absolutely incredible. It's my favorite MJ Cullinane deck. Just beautiful.
I have the Cantigee Oracle and love it. I have had no issues with the card stock.
You were with me and the dishes 😊
💚your anti-hauls. So sorry to hear about the Cantigee Oracle. I love it so much. I hate the card stock, but mine isn't warped like yours. I wonder if it's because I live in an arid climate🤔 Another round deck I love is Sawyer's Nature Portals oracle. It doesn't get a lot of play in my collection because it's an animal deck, but the quality is lovely. Honestly, I just have too many animal decks, lol. I love the Forhaxa. It lived by my bed for about a year. I still use it for deep reflective work. It's confronting and simultaneously gentle. I use it during the dark months. When I reach for it, it's never really with fae in mind oddly enough. Blessings to you!
It’s funny that you mention if we need to do dishes to take this into the kitchen and I do that lol 😂
Lol I actually do find that charming about you! 😂😂😂
Also I am 100% with you on simultaneously knowing that Stunning Tarot and Holy Spectrum are not the same, but it's almost like Holy Spectrum fills the need for me that the Stunning seems to fill for others. Like you, I've never really been tempted by Jonasa Jaus decks. But I've never hit "buy now" so fast once I saw the Infinity version of HS. And I leave my fingerprints too 😊
I have all three editions of The Gentle Tarot and I love all of them but don’t often use the mini in a tin. I thought I would use the in a tin for travel, but i usually use the linen for that because of the little meanings cards. I love using the guidebook with it so i think that's why.
I totally know what you are talking about regarding Stunning Tarot and Holy Spectrum Infinity, lol.
i understand the holy spectrum and johana jaus
Omg I forget the name of the luminous void always too! For me I think my mind goes to the word “liminal” first then blinds me from the correct word! That’s so odd it happens to you as well #stillwatching
OMG i'm glad i'm not alone. It trips me out every time it happens because it's the ONLY deck it happens with!
I totally agree with you on the Tarot of the Holy Spectrum and the Stunning Tarot. It was the first thing I thought of too. I think it is the bright bold colours. However I feel the system of the Holy Spectrum has an RWS feel where the Stunning tarot follows the T de Marseille style. I need to research more but i believe the Jonasa Jaus decks were closely influenced by the Jodorovsky book, I am yet to research which book she followed which inspired her decks. The language is Galatian on the deck titles itself which i beliebe is her native language.
So to sum up I feel like its two different systems but a very similar aesthetic. I totally get how you feel on this one Lisa 😊
Totally loved this. ❤❤
Your skin is glowing and your looking great! ❤
Can you give us your opinion on Ai generated tarot decks? I feel guilty desiring them over actual artistic artwork, how can we support real artists when Ai art is becoming so prominent?
@@Jen-e-sis I have shared my mutable thoughts about AI decks across multiple videos. In a nutshell, at this current time I'm not comfortable with them. I'm open to seeing what happens, but I don't currently feel comfy supporting or sharing AI decks on the channel, myself.
When you were about to name the Tarot of the Holy Spectrum as a comparison to the Jonasa Jaus I legit held my breath because I have been able to avoid buying a couple of the Jonasa Jaus decks because I get a similar vibe in the things I like about them.
The different Jonasa Jaus editions are stunning. But I also feel too much pressure with how quickly they consistently sell out and I suspect it would be a deck that I think is gorgeous but that would sit unused after the initial excitement.
I love both editions of the holy spectrum. The original very much feels like my teen and early twenties in a way. I call it my coming of age deck. The Infinity hits differently and I am loving it. I was especially excited to start using it as the weather warms and the garden is filling with flowers which is happening now!
It was such a validation to hear you compare the two and know I wasn’t the only one.
I will happily watch videos with any of the Jonasa Jaus decks. But for now I am content not bringing it into my home. Although if it was available for me to play with I absolutely would!
This long form video is a welcome distraction as I do laundry on a rainy day!
Oh I'm so glad you see it too!!!! :D
I didn't have either one until the most recent Jonasa Jaus sale a few weeks ago when I was able to grab a copy of the Stunning Tarot. I'm still amazed I was in the right place at the right time for that 😮 (eta: it didn't sell out the same day, or even same week, I kept checking, so IDK how fast it normally does but I've seen many go a lot faster than that. I'm just usually way later than that, LOL!)
@@steffymuze lol i usually am not first in line either - so 'fast' is definitely relative! LOL
@Lisa Papez hahaha I find myself saying "new to me" a lot!
The longer the video the better ❤
Hear me out - Terra Volatile's art style is not my cup of tea either, but the extra suit brings so much to the tarot and the guidebook is so well thought out and checks ALL of the boxes. If you haven't already, you should read some of the guidebook!
My poor spiders getting no love. 😂🕸🕷💕
🤣 Listen... I can make way for spider cards for sure but when they are pictured in such a scary 'we just wrapped up this hooman/fae creature for later snackage' way.... I just can't 😂🤣
@@Lisa_Papez "later snackage" hahahahahahha😂
@@tarottarantulas 🤣😂
Yeah, I feel like any and all other Alice themed decks pale in comparison to the Baba Studios deck. And I dont even have it yet. 😆
While it may, at least for now, not be for you… the Terra Volatile is by far my top deck. It truly is the one they will be prying from my cold dead hands. I’m so eagerly awaiting the book which I preordered within about two minutes of them opening it for sale.
excellent. These videos are so good! Thanks Lisa 😊
So glad you enjoy them!
Gentle tarot linen edition is so worth it! It's smaller and easier to shuffle. And I still have my full size. Both are amazing. The pocket I was highly dissapointed. Just too small, hard to shuffle, I had issues with the tin storage...
I really appreciate your anti-haul videos. Thanks for supporting me in qualifying if a deck is right for me.
I get what you mean by saying no to getting this or that deck. I'm already there. I'm only waiting for a discontinued deck that my brother found for me and that's it. I have more than enough. I get along with most of my decks and have less than 14. That's more than enough. 😅
Deviant moon was the first deck I ever bought that wasn't the traditional rws deck. I never clicked with it personally.
You’ve probably done this video before, but how you decide how you are going to use certain decks, what are your categories for use
This video was cute and funny. You are not alone. The Stunning Tarot and the Tarot of the Holy Spectrum are similar to me as well. I did not buy the Stunning Tarot for this same reason.
These videos are like the “shop my stash” videos in Makeup RUclips. I see what you’re saying about the Lilifer. That is a beautiful edition on kickstarter and I was tempted because they are all labeled. I own the Forhaxa Tarot and it’s beautiful. The spider card didn’t get to me, I just wish those decks were regular tarot size. I have been thinking also about buying the Forager’s Daughter Tarot & guidebook. I think I’d really enjoy reading about the plants & animals. 💜💜💜
I wish Forhaxa et al were a bit narrower myself, I have a heck of a time hanging onto them!
Foragers Daughter guided is soooo pretty.
I love when you do these videos!! It's definitely challenging to say no to a deck. I know that feeling all too well. Every time I tell myself I'm going on a 'no buy'................ I usually don't make it. LOL Good for you for saying no, talking yourself out of decks. I need to do that more.
That’s the exact reason I can’t get the forhaxa. I have decks with small spiders here and there but that one was too much. I’m arachnophobic and the first walk through I watched had me so upset when I saw that card!
I get so stinkin excited when I see one of your videos uploaded and it’s a long one. I could listen to you talk about tarot for hours. I also learn so so much from your videos and thoughts so thank you from a tarot newbie.
Awww you're welcome!! So glad you enjoy!
Totally with you on the Forhaxa. I had it and jumped out of my skin when I reached "that" card - needless to say, it has been moved on!
That spider 8 of swords is exactly why I didn’t buy the indie. However I’m tempted now to buy the mass market and cover them with butterflies stickers.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one turned off by quick sell outs. I like to take my time to really buy something, especially with how costly tarot can be.
I've also had to talk myself out of the Terra Volatile many times! If it's meant to be, the deck with find its way to us. I own the Forhaxa Tarot and some of the cards are incredibly frightening but there are also magical, calm and serene cards. I think of it has my box of chocolates deck, I never know what I'm going to get. Thanks for another wonderful video, Lisa!
I appreciate these videos. I have about 400 decks - because I never declutter - but you've helped me be really intentional about what additional decks I obtain. Unless a new deck significantly differs from what I already own AND has images I'm completely drawn to - like no wavering in my spirit - it's a pass for me.
Just FYI for future warped decks, if you spritz the back of the warped cards with a little water, and then put each individual card under weight, the card will be straight when it dries. I have to do that with watercolor paper. Just don't put them all together when they're damp. I had to unwarp the tarot of vampires deck so I put each card between separate book pages and put weight on the entire book.
I love this series of videos, and I don't mind how long they are. It's cool to see the different decks! ❤
That puppy is so cute. I just want to cuddle up with him/her. The video is great I just had to comment on the snuggle factor the puppy adds. ❤
That's Bruno! :D He constantly photobombs my videos lol To the point where we had to give him his own custom channel members emoji:
I talked myself out of Tarot Volitile for the same reasons. Lately, I am more interested in new oracle decks.
I NEED - need, not want, the Terra Volatile. ❤
Have you seen the insanely amazing lux guidebook they have available as a pre-oder right now?.......drool worthy
@@tarottarantulas Yaaaaassss!! I have been waiting for months for it!! Are you getting it as well? 😀
@CCT oh most definitely!!!! 😊 I was so excited as soon as I saw it mentioned on their site.
Ooh, Terra Volatile is European (unlike many of the beautiful decks featured), so the price seems acceptable to me as a filthy Euro (lol), never knew it existed, love it, definite wishlist.
I do find that MANY of the gorgeous indie artist decks featured on TarotTube are usocentric... which is great for you guys, but I feel left out, hahah :D
Oh fun fun! I was doing dishes and crashing cardboard boxes ✨
I think all the Jonasa Jaus art is, well, stunning haha and very unique. I had the second edition of JJ and lived it but then I wasn't really using it. Matbe it was when I wasn't really using tarot decks. I've wanted the Stunning for years, maybe for the art more than practical use but then a lot of images changed. Anyway, I think I get what you're saying about the deck you showed that's your dupe..... it has a slight hint of it but it's very very different to me. But that's awesome you were able to avoid getting the other deck especially since you're getting such good use out of this one.
For my birthday last year I got the pocket sized Alice In Tarotland and the matching lenormand, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!
Eeeeek!
@@Lisa_Papez You're right though, it was expensive to bring into Canada! Also, I just pulled it out, the pocket sized one is not linen.
I'm in Canada too and I did spring for the Terra Volatile and the Expansion pack. This was about a year ago when the Misery Collector card went out with a typo. So I just bought an add'l expansion pack to get the Misery Collector without the typo. SO: just saying, if you do/did get the core deck and wanted the High Priestess from the expansion pack I would be happy to pop it into the mail to you. I don't need two of them! I was about to list all the expansion pack cards to my Magpie Card Swaps spreadsheet anyway.
Also, the big book is still languishing in production limbo and I think may be for some time. If that makes the math any different. I did preorder it and am happy to wait but this turned into one of my Top 5 All Time/Desert Island decks, so I'm fine with a wait. If it's an iffy deck for you, then skip the book for now. The website guide is amazing already & I really only use it for the added Vessels suit as I learn those cards.
I'll be honest as much as I adore the Robert Place decks, it doesn't replace TV to me. In fact, I'd say TV is a deck that references alchemy, but it's not first and foremost 'an alchemy deck' at all. Like how Thoth is not just "an astrology deck", it's that but so so much more. TV is so so much more than "an alchemy deck", it's an all-in-one deck that I think, in all honesty and I've been into tarot since the 90s, TV is destined to become a timeless classic. The Place decks are niche, this is bigger than that.
(I'm printing product labels while I listen-watch to this and about to start my laundry LOL. I did get the Majick Cottage KS -- it's not much like any oracles I have, I almost never ever go animal decks, so it was different enough to justify.)
Yrahhhh Terra Volatile was pricy for me too but I was happy I got it, it's fun to work with and jump into their guide. Definitely worth it hopefully you can find it cheaper used ❤
Ha ha ha I'm 37 min in...you take as long as you want girl!!!😁😁😁 I got plenty of laundry and dishes that are gettin done 😂😂😂😂love your videos, helps make the mundane more magical😊
Thank you for making the Stunning Tarot to Tarot of the Holy Spectrum comparison because I’d been having the exact same thoughts and wondered if I was just making things up!! It was also super helpful for you to share your thoughts on the Infinity edition vs. standard because that’s exactly how I feel and couldn’t put into words why I only want the Infinity edition. 💕
I wish for you Lisa to have another 50 years at Least of being all about joy, colour, empathy, compassion and unicorns. It's an alchemy all its own!
I got the Asherah largely because of your deep dive review and I freaking love it.
If you want the Terra Volatile dear girl let me know cause you can have mine for a song. I pull it out now and then and it's just so dark (color wise) that I don't connect. Beautiful, but not for me. Just let me know! Majick Cottage is by the Arboridium creators and I freaking love that deck, I'm just saying. And yes, Asherah is my Thoth deck forever. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these decks! 🧡
I have to talk myself down from Terra Volatile all the time. It is my aesthetic, but I have Mystic Masters... I don't needz.😊
I'm so with you on Terra Volatile! It's really not my aesthetic, but... as a collector...😑 Ugggh, I keep going back and forth. 🤪
I'm trying to stop myself buying the limited edition citadel deck. I think that's what it's called anyway. 😅 I don't think I would use the campaign booklet. I'm not bothered about the fancy box, or the red edging. Or even really the coin. I just want the main deck and the extra oracle Im stuck as to whether I gamble on the chance that the extra oracle will come out separately later 😬🙈
Oof... i hear you! I'm not sure I'll get a chance to use the campaign booklet either. I'm kinda lowkey delighted about the coin though cuz i do use those. As for the Deck of Emblems - it really is awesome.... but.... I wouldn't say you need it to enjoy the Citadel, so if cost is an issue, I say take the gamble and hold off for now. The Mass Market citadel has so much good stuff in it all by itself!
@@Lisa_Papez yeah I just love the way the extra oracle works as clarifiers. Oh man I wish they sold them seperately! Well anyways awesome video as always, much love to you and all the community. Xx
Becoming a connoisseur of tarot cardstock is painful, eh?! I am on a depth year so I pre ordered the tarot of the Witches garden and the Tyldewick (your comments section made me do it) but have held fast to not buying 2nd hand decks on Ebay, your anti hauls have helped me keep in mind that decklust fades.
The Tyldwick is so special and I'm pretty sure I'm scooping up the Witch's Garden. I'm so glad that these anti-hauls help you think clearly outside of decklust!! :) Making these videos helps me too!
So so soooooo excited for the Terra Volatile book!!!!!
Maybe you could just get the book for now? (Well in Sept)....to see what you think....and get the deck later? That way you have the art and all the alchemical info?🤔
I know for facts that if I get the book, i'm getting the whole kit & caboodle LOL
Because you said that 8oS is literally what nightmares are made of makes me totally think this would be the perfect deck for you to workout some shadows! Like that is literally the nightmare card! Lol to be honest I had to look at my deck because I was convinced that card wasn't even in the indie version lol.
You really should do Deviant Moon readings for sure. People will want those now, or I'm a duck.
Luminous Void? Yeah.
Love the Green nails💚💚🍏
I’m not here to convince you to buy a new deck but the riffle of the linen edition of the gentle tarot would be so much better for a travel version..😂
The alice deck seems like RWS clone and you tried to declutter those already. I think your actual deck bring much more to the table.
The magick cottage would be great to read at my cottage but I feel it would get too limited use..
That's such a good point, Isabella, about the Alice in Tarotland being more of a RWS clone! Thanks for that!! :D And yes totally agree that the linen gentle would be more up my street if I decide I want/need a smaller Gentle Tarot!
I bought the Baroque tarot deck, it’s gold gilded and I haven’t picked it up other than using it three times because I don’t want to ruin it! This is the problem with nice fancy decks like terra volitare
I get it about the Stunning Tarot. I have the Holy Spectrum and have said the same thing to myself about the Stunning Tarot. There is a very similar aesthetic in the color and styling. I get you.
Thank you for getting me!!!!!
Same on Somnia!
The Terra Volatile is on my list, but it keeps getting bumping down. By the time I'm ready to get it, it's usually sold out! I backed the Lilifer Gold Tarot. I passed it by the first printing, but couldn't resist this edition.
These give me life 🎉
heee hiiiii Tori! :D These are so fun to make!! :D
I have the Aboridium Oracle deck and the story book that goes with it. I absolutely love it! But I don't feel the need to get the other ones, I feel like having the OG scratches the itch. It covers so many areas that I look at the new decks and don't see how they would expand on what I have enough to feel like I need them. I have been tempted by Terra Volatile, but I already have several deks that have layers and are deep that I haven't fully studied, so I don't use often.. I worry that would be another.
I feel the same way about terra volitile. Im holding off because i dont think I'd use it. Its awesome and linen but not something I would probably read with.
But it hurts, right? 🤣🤣
I believe it says on the earth moon and shadow rue and vervain website that it will be reprinted in 2024.
Thank you!
I think you're right.... I knew there was a reason I'm waiting
I do get that you have to let some decks go I imagine how many decks they send to you! Besides the ones you buy!
I backed the Thoth Journey at almost the 11th hour. Apparently there is an issue with the card I used. If I can't get it resolved in the time allotted, I am taking it as a sign that I don't need a Thoth deck right now. It's the only one that has really tempted me to dip my toes into that system.
Awesome video... but my Woodland Wardens is the worst card stock i have ever had. So badly warped and barely used because of it. Would love to have the same edition that you have because it is so beautiful
Great video! Regarding Terra Volatile, the pdf guidebook is no longer available as people printed it out, made a book, and sold it so the creators took it down. 😢 I'm so sad, because the new guidebook is too expensive and I'm not going to get it. I like the deck you already have to fill in for Aphrodite tarot much better. Good call! ❤
WTF what is wrong with people?!?!?! THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS. Ugh. The writeups will remain on their website though?
@Lisa_Papez I don't know, I think Dustin did a thing on the new book in one of his Sunday morning shows, so I went to look at it, and was so sad to see the reason for making the book, and that pdf was taken down. 😢
Yea, Somnia has never been for me. I don't like the sheets over everyone.
Luminous Void! Haha
I'm excited to see what the new version of Witches' Wisdom will be like. I love the large cards so if they are smaller I will get it but keep both.
Yea I have both the large edition and linen edition of Gentle Tarot. I don't like the linen because of the color saturation and the edges are chippy. I keep it for travel tho.
I love Forhaxa, I will be getting the mass market in addition to my indie. Spiders don't bother me, most bugs don't generally tho. Haha I imagine you will NEVER get the Cursed Auguries. Oh the Sidhe is such a hard no for me.
I'm with you on the Baba wooden boxes, I prefer the cardboard ones.
I love the HP in the Terra Volatile expansion. I also use a lot of others from the expansion as well.
So inversely maybe the Tarot of Aphrodite will scratch the itch for those of us who can't get Delphi.
Does the big TV book have full pics of the cards? If so, I think you should get the big book for TV and not get the deck. You can use the book as a tarot reference book. I have decluttered decks and kept the guidebook (Dark Goddess and True Heart specifically) because those were not usable decks for me.
It has gorgeous imagery... but in reality I think if I had the big pretty book, I'd definitely want the deck. I'm too much of a completionist LOL
That spider card! TERRIFYING
Seriously! Eeek!
Omg! I have the Forhaxa indie and that card terrifies me too! Omg the whole deck is a bit creepy for me anyways because they all have buggy wings. 😆 I’m such a chicken! I tried, I swear I did, because I’m a fan of MJ’s art and I don’t have any other fae decks. Can’t do it 😑 I’ll be rehoming it for sure. I don’t feel too bad because I actually got it for sale when she had one of those buy this book and get surprise deck add on for $10 and that was my surprise deck. 😂😂😂 Huge surprise! 🤣 it’s a gorgeous deck tho. I’m just a big ass chicken.
THANK YOU for the Nightmare Arachnid warning on the Forhaxa Tarot!!! I'd been looking at it and considering, and now I know to steer clear. Maybe decks should come with common trigger warnings! 😮
I really appreciate this video! The decks you already own, some of them I never seen before, I might go and do a big research now! I also love Somina tarot artwork, it's very beautiful, but I never purchased it because I cannot connect to decks without faces. I need a face to read from their gestures, emotions, etc, and I knew for that reason I'm not gonna use it so there was no point of buying it. And yes, the Stunning Tarot deck has a similar vibe to the other one you showed, I know what you mean! Best wishes!
Are you going to make your unicorn deck linen??
I really, really, REALLY want to. It may depend on production costs or what everyone else wants most, though!
Baba studios are producing their decks again
I was scared you were going to dump the Boo tarot when it comes to card stock 😮 I just finished the Robin Wood tarot book you recommended, it was great!!!
25:10: Any league of legends players here? All I thought was Twitch declaring, "It's MINE. I licked it!" 😆
I don't know League of Legends but..... for realsies relatable. I actually have done that once, on a reading cloth Peggy showed me... stonehenge one if I remember correctly. She made the first one and i'm like GIMME! :D (before she could sell it LOL)
@@Lisa_Papez You know what? Sometimes we gotta mark what we claim. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m miss a This or That? I don’t know why
Did Lisa just tell me to do my dishes 😮😂🫧🫧🫧❤😊
BAHAHAHHA Mayyyyyyyyybe 😉
@Lisa Papez I can confirm...yes you did and yes I did. The Divine works in mysterious ways 🤣🥰
Holy Spectrum definitely has a similar feel to stunning tarot but I much prefer it Strangely I really like the shininess of the mirror backs, which is not my usual esthetic. I think your finger print thing is probably why we like to modify our decks too. Territorial marking 😂, I guess that makes Dawn M a queen of her territory.😂
Yesssss!!!
Yeah, I am with you. The Terra Volatile is gorgeous, but I would never use it. However, I am not a huge Alice in Wonderland fan. It isn't a story that I have a need to have in my home or deck that brings tarot and the world together. But....That Alice in Tarotland may be calling my name.
