    Hi! I have always loved tarot and oracle, but I am one of those people you probably cringe at who doesn’t read intuitively and uses guidebooks for everything. But I love the messages and love the cards so much - it’s so spiritual for me. I adore your collection. You are so wise. ❤️

    • @amidst_the_grey
      @amidst_the_grey  Год назад +1

      No cringing here! I have a few decks that I use specifically because of the guidebook. It brings in a bit of bibliomancy for me. Personally, I always read the guidebook if a deck comes with one. The artist's motivation and interpretation is important to me.
      Thank you for watching! 🤗💜

    I like to use the mini decks that don't resonate with me for gifts. Like I might put a card in a birthday card or on a co-worker's desk or let coworkers take a card out of a basket on my desk basket at work, etc. I love rehoming complete decks, but when it comes to the minis like Divine Doors or the flower one, I like to kind of spread that out across a lot of people. I figure it's 40 little wishes of happiness for people who might be needing a pick me up.:) I gave vintage journals to co-workers for Christmas this year and I put one of the Postcards from Spirit cards inside each one in a random place for them to find later.

    • @amidst_the_grey

    Nobody talks about the Connolly tarot! I accidentally got the vintage version in a trade. Didn’t realize it was going to be vintage so it was a nice surprise. It also came already trimmed for me 😃. I love it’s unapologetic use of hot pink and random cherub babies scattered around 🤣.
    Also I created a FB group for those of us really trying to control deck spending this year. It’s called Mindful Deck Curators. Just in case you’d be interested. Lovely collection

    To trim off the purple borders of the Spiral Tarot, you can trim in between the 2 outside yellow borders on the back and you'll eliminate the purple borders yet keep the titles on the bottom. It works, promise! 👍

    Well, I have so many thoughts! I LOVE the Journey oracle from Adrienne Trafford, it is one of my favourites! I also have her tarot colouring book and I have been waiting for years for her full tarot deck to come out! I don't think it will happen, unfortunately, but if it does, it will be an instant buy! I also love the Connolly deck, I trimmed mine square and edged it black. It looks fab! I have a video of it. Also, Spiral tarot is my No. ONE tarot deck!!!

    I quite enjoyed this video, despite there being very little overlap between my collection and yours (I'm also right around 100 decks). I liked the more rapid-fire deck inventory! A couple of places where we had overlap were Darkness of Light and Soul Trees; those were two of my earliest must-have decks!
    Looking for imagery of the Divine Feminine was what originally brought me to tarot, but I also struggle with personified Deity. Dark Goddess Tarot works pretty well for me because the art feels more like getting down to the archetypal energies of Goddess. I also like The Red Seeds Oracle for Deity-in-humanity or "how Goddess resides in every female human form."
    I've found that anthropomorphized animal tarot decks work surprisingly well for me, and it's actually often easier for me to see myself in the characters. Best wishes for the year ahead!

This year I'm going to focus on lenormand next year I will probably purchase his deck. I was just actually watching his live tonight.. Tarot meet up. I like the style of a lot of the older people he has in the meetups because I think that generation reads different than us
