Hey there, Charles Harrington the deck's author here - thank you so much for your very kinds words about the deck! You made my week :-) I really appreciate how thoroughly you explored the cards. Llewellyn will definitely replace any cards giving you trouble if you reach out to them. Sorry to hear that happened with your King of Pentacles. I am also a Vampire Diaries and Originals stan (the Hermit was my tribute to Stefan) so I loved all your insights about the vampires' powers. Craig is just the greatest artist imaginable and it was so wonderful to collaborate with him on this. His level of detail is unbelievable and I had the pleasure of getting to zoom way in on the image files he would send over. I remember zooming waaaaay in on the Queen of Wands' dress and every single jewel on it is distinct and it's just inspiring. And oof when you turned over the King of Cups and pointed out there wasn't any water - what a miss on my part. I should have asked for a fountain there. ;-) You asked about the Goddess on the Temperance card and that is Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt. If my memory is correct I sent Craig the image of an ancient Greek Krater with her on it and I thought "You are being the most... this is too much detail" but Craig is the master and it made it into the art. Thank you again for this video, it was wonderful to get your first impressions.
Hi Charles!!! OMG this deck! What can even I say? Long story short, I love it. I just love it more and more everyday. Short story long, Craig’s artwork takes my breath away sometimes. I’m so glad that I made the video because now I too can zoom in to see the details 🤩. I’m carrying the book around the house and in my purse pretty much everywhere I go like a big kid with a new toy 😆. Loved that brief history of vampires btw 🙌 I know everyone likes to see vampire lore in different ways but this deck is hands down my favorite way to see them. Also omg that Hermit is sooo Stephan! Yesss! 😍 And isn’t he’s just the perfect Hermit!?!? A tortured soul hidden away with his pens and journals trying to figure out the best way not to rip everyone’s heads off 😆. Also thank you for telling me about Artemis! I just knew it had to mean something. I’ve been finding so many stories and inspiration in the cards as I’m working with the deck. It’s expressive and chatty and for me it’s been fun to use in big spreads. Then it feels like watching an exciting movie play out across my table. Thanks so much for stopping by and wishing you all the best! 💖
I love your interpretations of the art, you see things in such a fluid way and you challenge me to look for more symbolism in my own readings. Thank you for such comprehensive deck unboxings!
I loved this unboxing so much, Im getting this deck!! You picked up on so many details, and your enthusiasm is so adorable, it made me even more enthusiastic for this deck than I already was. I've been eyeing this deck for a couple of weeks, and really love that there is a story going through all of the cards, you get to follow the characters and see what happens to them, I findd that to be rare in tarot decks, which makes this one unique and intriguing. Thanks so much for a wonderful walk through, I also subbed ❤😍❤
Oh yay! I hope you love it as much as I do. I sat around with this deck and book for months. I couldn’t put it away until Christmas but I think I’ll get it back out again soon 🥰. Thanks so much for subbing! Looking forward to chatting again soon. 💕
Loved your take on the cards. I was a bit on the fence about this deck, but hearing your enthusiasm about it made me put it un my shopping cart. #Robynmademedoit 😂
Btw, the woman with the bow and arrow on the vase in the Temperance card is Diana, the Roman Goddess of the Hunt, also called Artemis by the Greeks…..she is patroness of the countryside, wildlife, hunters, nature, childbirth, and the crossroads, the night, and the moon. The Ankh is an Egyptian symbol which is “the key of life”. The eye is probably “the eye of Horus”….or “the eye of Ra”, and represents well being, healing, and protection, also Egyptian. It’s when Set tore out Horus’s eye(s), which were somehow healed by Thoth, and then Horus presents them to his dead father, Osiris, as a “funerary” gift…..it’s power (the eyes) helps Osiris to survive/thrive in the afterlife.
Oooh I watch the Originals way too much 😆. Nothing else is on? I’ll throw on the Originals. I love them all. Klaus was so adorably tortured. 🫠I really wish they would have let him have just one actual relationship. Elijah was always my favorite. 😍 Marcel was hot!!! I have seen interview with a vampire. The first season really drew me in but they lost me after just two episodes of the second. I never finished season 2
@@RobynsReflectionsKlaus and Caroline were end game. Cami was ok for him. But Caroline and him… wow! The connection. Elijah and Marcel!!! Yes!!! Especially Marcel, I’ll give you my blood any x day. Hahahah. I might just turn that on again. Did you ever watch Legacies? Last episode I was balling, like Kim K balling 😭
@ Yes I watched them all 😍 I loved the whole saga! I have to admit that I kinda wanted to quit on that last season of Legacies a few times but after all of those seasons over 3 shows I was too invested to give up and what’s a last episode that’s was!
@@RobynsReflectionssame girl! Took like 3 tries to watch Legacies. But happy I finished it. Bawling after Klaus’s last message to Hope. Crying, ugly crying.
@ They didn’t let us down. They gave us a great ending and seeing Klaus again was so special. Especially when he said she was his peace. 😭😭😭 We always knew he was a big old softie. Especially when it came to Hope (and her mom…and Cami…and Rebekah…and Caroline 😂😂)
Hi Robyn! Great video. I too, love The Lost Boys and Originals (also my fave of the 3). This video came in great timing because I wanted to grab a deck or two during this Llewelyn sale and this gives me a chance to buy my 1st vampire themed deck. This is right up my Gemini alley! I like the quirky, yet slight spooky vibe it has to it. And the 6 of Cups brings back childhood memories w/ the Count Chocula cereal! The guidebook seems really good, too! All in all, I’m stoked for this one!
Yeesss Llewellyn sale!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 omg how special! This is a fabulous first vampire deck in my opinion. Not too dark, not too light. I’ve already read a little bit of the book and it’s really aligned with the way I like to think about vampire lore and stuff like that. Plus I just enjoy his writing his easy going storyteller style. It’s perfect for me. I think you will love this and that sale will make it super affordable…Winning 🎉🎉🎉🎉 If you remember, circle back or find me on IG and let me know what you think!
Robyn you're killing my wallet😅 😂 i had completely talked myself out of this deck. It was a hard No but ugh ....😮 I'm thinking its going on my wishlist now ❤
😆😆😆. But the good news is that it’s brand new and MM so you can sit on this one as loooong as you want. Also, OMG you are so right she totally looks like Wynona but that’s not Keanu … Hummm who do you think he is 🤔. I want to know who all of these people are. They all look so familiar 😆.
Hey! Thanks so much for doing this review on The Tarot of the Vampires, as I always wondered how it compares to The Tarot of the Vampyres”, which I do have, but may return. It’s ok, but it feels a bit too dark for me. The book is, supposedly, excellent, but there are NO photos of the cards contained in the guidebook, neither black and white photos nor color photos, which bugs me. I was thinking I may do better with Tarot of the Vampires by Llewelyn, as it seems a bit lighter overall, and it does have color photos of each card and uses quality paper for their guidebook. I’m happy to see you review it here, so I can get an idea of what it’s like/compare the two as to content, overall quality, etc. Btw, don’t know if it’s a sweater or hand warmers, or fingerless gloves, but I absolutely LOVE whichever it is you have on! A beautiful pattern and color! Where did you get them, if you don’t mind my asking? Thank you, again, for the review!! 😊
Hi! Thanks so much for watching. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you I wasn't feeling so well yesterday and I had to look back and the video to see which gloves you were talking about lol. I found them on amazon so I'll post the link below. They come in different colors. amzn.to/3QIpkK9 * As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. I have both decks and I agree that they are very different for sure. I think that they are both great but this one is definitely my favorite of all of my vampire decks. I love the modern style. Hope you enjoy it if you decide to grab it.
The 😂knife on the Magicians table has his blood on it... (I'm gonna be updating this comment while I'm watching 😉) The guy in the fool card is the head of the character of Hook in the series "once upon a time" With the 6 of pentacles and all the talk of the Vampire diaries you've made me realise I need to finish it! I've a few episodes of season 8 to watch. Ya know when they overdo things and they go to shit and you give up, but you still gotta go back eventually to see how it ended...!? It's raining here today so it's time to sort that out I think!
@@RobynsReflections no! I'm RWS deck obsessed but want to try something different. I have over the years but ended up passing them on. But I love anything with angels, demons, vampires, fairies, witches etc And this is gorgeous!!!! Thanks for the fab review. My birthday is Sept 27th and it's out here on Sept 8th sooooo.... Happy birthday to me!
I just read the rest of your comment and you never finished TVD and I actually have never finished Once Upon a Time 😆. This might’ve inspired me to finish it this year.
Bwahahaha. I heard that! I am also obsessed with his guidebooks. He has a few oracles with Lo Scarabeo as well! I have the Lonely Soul and it’s pretty good. This one is fun. I love this deck and its book. I think I’m going to do another dive next year just for fun. 😍
The originals were great; except the ending... grrrrrr..i was just like why why why? How do you like this deck? Do you still use it? Thinking about buying it...ty
Oh man that ending was almost as sad as the Buffy ending. I’m sure I shed just as many tears 😭 I LOVE this deck and yes I still use it all the time. I don’t even save it for the fall 😂.
