We need to talk about soul decks...

- Hi friends, today I wanted to touch on a topic that has been concerning me for a while... and that is this idea of 'soul decks'. It's a term I've heard a lot over the years, and it's one I have used myself, so I thought it was about time we took a closer look at what it means and why I think it could be causing some problems for some people.

What do you think about soul decks?
Katey Flowers I had no idea it was a thing so this is a very interesting topic
I totally agree with what you said. Yes, find the joy in the decks we have and already connect with. Each one is a different relationship, with their own pluses and minuses. 😊
I love how you explained this and I have not read cards before but I’ve actually been drawn to lotería cards which are not even meant for this purpose. Am I crazy?
@@marigoldrussell6804 well I'm drawn to throwing pigs for divination 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the RWS because it is the deck I used when I first started to learn Tarot. I like to use different decks depending on my mood. Sometimes I feel like I need a cute and soft deck to deliver difficult messages. I am highly sensitive and I can't read with the Osho Zen or the Darkness of Light Tarot. I appreciate both deck's art but I would end up crying if I read with them. I own them because I think that one day I might be able to read with them. I love my original Liminal Tarot, The Clover Tarot, Crystal Visions Tarot has a very special place in my heart. Also The Tarot of the Magical Forest - it's so cute and sweet- Delos Tarot is also one of my favorites. The softer the better. That's just me because I need to treat myself kindly with my own kindness recipe. In conclusion, I have many soul decks. I love them all. Even if I don't read with them. But I do have my favorites. I hope I made sense Katey :)
BTW. You are rocking that look :) Make up, hair, blouse !
I’ve thought about this topic a lot especially when I think of all the decks I’ve purchased. I’ve settled on the idea that we can have multiple soul decks. I think of them as my little group of favorites. At the end of the day we’re drawn to things that our soul wants or needs so why can’t it be more than one. Thanks for your video 😄
This year, I fell into the 'treasure hunting' behaviour you mention, on the search for my 'soul deck'. I also wanted to buy decks before they disappeared from the market and became too pricy and rare. Now, I tell myself that another deck will replace these OOP decks, as new ones are always being created and released. So, my 'soul deck' may not even exist as yet. It’s healthier to believe that my 'soul deck' will arrive, at the right time for me, when I am ready for it. In the meantime, all my decks are friends and can become better friends the longer I work with them. Even after saying this, Sasuraibito may be my 'soul deck' as I feel totally comfortable with it. No card embarrasses or shocks me, which feels right for the start of my tarot journey. While Sasuraibito has become my favourite 2019 deck, I’m not sure that I could have recognised its unique voice and beauty, without having bought many other decks before it. I don’t regret my earlier purchases, as they prepared me for Sasuraibito. Maybe, this is what you mean about enjoying the journey, embracing the work for getting to know the decks you have, diving deeper with them, and developing many soul mates along the way. It’s a pleasure to follow your YT channel, Katey, and I plan to get more involved in 2020 as a Patreon supporter. 😃
not to mention - even if you found a deck that clicked with you in a "soul deck" way - it's likely you'll change, as a person and a reader.
also, your eye shadow looks fantastic.
I think there is nothing that can compare to the feeling of having that special deck you are soul bonded to...yes I do believe in soul decks.
Maybe it is just my personality, but I have a favorite chair...sure we have other chairs, but I have a favorite chair and everyone knows it is mine, it fits me just right.
I have a favorite coffee cup, sure we have other coffee cups, but mine fits my hand and my lips perfectly and everyone knows that it is special to me and they stay away from my coffee cup.
I have a favorite sweater, a favorite soap, blanket and pillow, a favorite book, pair of shoes and coat.
Possessions I go to over and over again and have bonded with, that I would morn and miss if they were gone.
Yes, I have a soul deck...my right hand girl...first on any council or board of decks.
The first I would reorder on Amazon if the house when up in a puff of smoke
She was my third deck....I saw her pictured in the second tarot book I bought as a new tarot reader ( Tarot Plain and Simple) my first book being a confusing mistake.
Instantly knew if those picture were an actual deck I had to have it...so I wrote to the address in the book Llewellyn and yes they said it was a deck and would I like to order one.
And so with that book and my Robin Wood deck I learned tarot.
20 years and 300 decks later she is still my soul deck I have multiple copies of her all over the house, in my tornado bag, and in the car.
She isn't a fancy deck, a little cartoony and sweet, and she has been made fun of many times on Aeclectic until I was almost ashamed she was my favorite...but she stuck by me and never wavered, was true blue in her accuracy and stability...always to be trusted with any reading especially the hard or delicate ones she handles them all with grace and compassion.
So yes I have a soul deck...and I wish all of you the happiness of finding that deck too....and the joy of collecting if you so desire many others.
Great discussion Katey. I have two decks, an oracle and tarot, that I both considered 'soul decks' but both creators have recently either stated problematic views or released problematic decks. So now even though I still like the decks they have been slightly tarnished in a way as I think of it every time I pick them up. I've realised that creations are shaped by our perceptions of them and I can't unfeel the way I do now, and there's no turning back. Much like a real relationship! The rose tint is gone. So as you say it's unreasonable to look for one true deck and to allow loves to come into our lives without expecting them to be fully perfect. I'm not going to be looking for ways to replace them but see it as an opportunity to enjoy the rest of my collection more.
The notion that there can be only one, just aggravates me. I believe that your soul can connect to many things and, well, people. Just because something touches your soul doesn't mean that something else can't. It just means that you connect to something in a meaningful and deep way, with all things it takes work, there is not a magical get out of free card.
Hello Katey. 🤗 You look really pretty; your sweater & eye shadow colors are lovely for you.
Interesting discussion. While I cannot add a lot to the discussion about tarot decks or a so-called single soul deck, it seems to me that as we grow & evolve our soul does as well. Our feelings vary with what we are currently experiencing, The tides change with the season & the phases of the moon so why wouldn't the feel of a deck change?
I completely understand the feeling that applying the word "soul" to a deck can be misleading. It is sometimes very difficult to put into words the feeling something can insight within us.
In regards to constantly searching or buying numerous decks in search of the perfect one, maybe I have no right to speak. I have one deck, some say it is not a "real" tarot. I have watched countless unboxings & numerous readings over the past year; & some decks "speak" so clearly to me, I feel certain I know what the message/answer is, to the point I feel shaken. On a different day, with a diiferent reading or reader, that same deck is not so vocal.Other decks may as well be blank cards.
Maybe the best way to choose a deck to buy is exactly what you have said in the past, what you feel drawn to. Maybe the same philosophy should be followed when choosing a deck to use in a reading - use the one that speaks to you soul for that particular reading or day.
Take care and may all good things flow into your life. 💖💕
Super interesting. I can see how this would be misleading but also when I've heard the term "soul deck," I always thought of it as meaning "a deck that really connects with me on a deep level and is a cherished friend," NOT the only deck or a deck that could be used for every single reading. Like when I first held the Slow Holler, I knew that my spirit needed to connect with that deck badly, and I'm so excited that I'm going to be getting a copy soon. But it doesn't mean that my tarot practice for the past few years without it has felt lacking, or that when I get it I will shun all other decks. Just that I expect it to be like a treasured relationship, someone in my life that I can't imagine not having once it's there.
I can totally get behind that meaning, and according to that definition, the Gill definitely remains a soul deck for me! I think I just want to be more careful about saying things like ‘a soul deck’ rather than ‘my soul deck’ going forward.
This is a perfect explanation, and truly applies to all areas of life, not only tarot. Full stop.
Personally, I've never felt the need to have just one "perfect example" of anything; partners, friends, decks, songs, etc. I mean, I like sharing the love. lol Whenever I've used the term "soul deck", I simply mean that this particular deck sparks a reaction within my own "soul" (whatever one takes that to mean) that is stronger than a normal feeling of "like" or "love"; there's a communication and a communion there, between myself and this artwork; these specifically drawn/arranged symbols. Almost like a feeling that I could have created this exact piece, myself. That's how in sync I feel to the art expression (I've felt this way about poetry and music, as well). I've had this reaction with several decks and they remain special to me even if I don't use them all the time. I guess my overall feeling is that it's deep but it's not *that* deep. lol No need for anyone to stress over it because it's entirely personal. Some people feel strongly toward external stimuli and have favorite music, colors, animals, etc., while others just don't. It's all okay.
This is FABULOUS! Generally speaking, the only person that a deck is the one PERFECT deck for is that deck’s creator... Everybody reads differently so everybody will have their differences. My Favorite deck is the New Choice Tarot de Marseille... It just sings for me! But my most used deck is the Jean Noblet because it is more... Well Rounded? Especially when reading for other people... I don’t know how to explain it... Anyway, I adore seeing your beautiful spirit in all your videos!
Very informative! I have a deck that start this tarot journey and will always be special but I would say it’s one of my soul deck instead of THE soul deck.
Different decks resonate with me on different days no matter how strong the connection is. 😊
I agree totally that you just have to let go of the search. For me, the decks I am drawn towards seems to be related to where I am at in my tarot journey. For a long time, I was learning, exploring tarot. my tarot choices changed as I went through this long phase, which feels complete now, no longer need to read books about tarot. etc. I am at home with tarot in my own way. Suddenly I found a deck that truly, if I could only have one deck this would be it and I would be fine with just it. I do not feel a need to get a back up copy. and I would not say it is a soul deck. It is just interesting how our taste in tarot decks evolves as we travel the tarot road.
I am new to actually using tarot but have been always drawn to it since I was a teenager. I can tell you my current main deck (the enchanted Forest tarot) speaks to me. It's not about how it reads persay but more how it always pulls the cards I need to see in that moment. I have other decks and while they read all well and I get those messages, the enchanted Forest tarot touches my soul. It gives me that hard to swallow wisdom but it does it while opening a gate to healing and learning. My other decks are more like talking to a friend who is blunt for the right reasons. This deck is like talking directly to the universe and the universe sharing what I need to know and genuinely guiding me rather than just some advice or warning. I don't think a soul deck has to be some amazing find or that ONE deck. It certainly could shift over time. I believe it's more about finding that deck, or even nurmous decks, that truly touch your soul. They actually help heal small parts of your soul and open those doors for clarity and enlightenment of a situation or trait in yourself you weren't aware needed to be. I think everyone finds a deck they connect to on that deeper level but it doesn't have to be romantic and magical as we all want it to be.
Hello Katey, Waking up with coffee and your latest video. What a great way to start the day!
Butterfly Magic with Hot Tea yay! Have a good day! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for creating your content!
Loved this discussion Katey 😊 I've used the term 'soul deck' before, but I agree with your views. Soul deck, soul mate etc etc... implies that we are incomplete without that missing part of ourselves, which is the absolute opposite of what I believe.
Ps love your eye makeup! 💖💜💖
Great video darling. I use that term also, however I agree with you that it's because it is the deck that speaks to me the most right now. I wasn't even looking for a soul deck it just happened. I just really feel like this particular deck speaks to me in a way that no other deck does, and that I can relate to it's imagery and the creators vision is closest to my own. I would be extremely sad if I no longer had this deck, however I could live without it if I had to. I am extremely new to my tarot journey, and I'm sure I'm going to have several decks along the years that fill that spot, and maybe all at the same time, who knows.....I'm just really enjoying the journey. Thank you for sharing beautiful lady. 💜✨💜
I don't know if I believe in that one soul deck. I do believe that some of my decks definitely speak to my soul. I like Natalia from Ouroboros' take on it....they're like guides or a council of advisors.
I believe that we will receive what we need when we need it. Prerequisite - be open and be ready. 🌸
Yes! This was much needed, for myself at least. Thank you for deconstructing the monolith that is the "soul deck"!
I believe I have 2 souls decks if not 3. They all speak to me on a soul level and I recently found that no other deck out there will give me what these decks give me. I own 6 but after connecting deeper with these three I came to that conclusion. I agree with you 100%!
Hi, as a late - very late, lol- comer to the Tarot practice this video was immensely helpful. For a while I got caught up in the search for "the" deck that would allow me to tap into the "ultimate secrets" of the universe. There had to be that deck that would be my daily companion. This cemented my recent perspective that the deck is just a tool. Kind of like a hammer: There are some top of the line hammers that cost a mint but, if you take into consideration that the ultimate purpose is to pound a nail into wood, then a rock is just as effective. In short, your conversation settled that for me. Thank you for making such meaningful and relevant content.
I pick decks that suit the people I'm reading for or that suit the topic of the reading. I do have an indie deck that I am saving up for because I am crazy about it and I could not have predicted that it was a deck that I would like. It is outside of my wheelhouse but it even gets into my dreams. But I have to be ok about if it sells out before I can justify buying it. A deck can influence and help me grow as a reader even if I never own it.
What deck are you talking about?
@@tamipie Apparition Tarot
I really like what Kelly Fitzgerald said about pieces of her soul decks...(is that how she put it?) How a few different decks influenced her readings and her style. Like many readers, I am self-taught and tarot came to me out of left field and late in my life. So while my grubby old Thoth deck is a best friend, it tortured me with impossible legends and weird symbolism - it also taught me to take my time, to enjoy the bits and pieces without trying to eat the whole cake...I have thought about what deck I would grab if there was a fire, I had a Tower moment last month that involved my husband feeling that I spent too much time with it. So I put them all away and took a breath for a week. What is important, is how I feel about myself and my family. Tarot has certainly helped me to face a number of my own insecurities and ways that I was not being a good friend. So my soul is better for having learned the tarot. I am certainly glad to have the decks for my own consumption (makes me feel very Empressy) but my soul, is a different matter...
I picked up the gilded tarot two years ago and just did not want to learn the tarot with it...it took another two years before I picked up another deck...I have three decks that I realise we work well together, we click...each deck gives me different readings and I love that..I love them all equally...thats all I need. These decks are like different friendships for me...and that to me is what Tarot is all about...blessings to you 🙏😇
Oh my word that made perfect sense. I personally have been looking for that 'perfect' deck, the one that sparks and allows the readings to flow like honey off a warm knife. I agree now that the decks I have acquired so far have filled most of my gaps and I need to take a step back and explore them more. Katey I have found your videos so informative that they in a way have been a huge learning experience for my particular journey, for which I am so grateful. I will continue to watch your videos as they are fun and querky and keep me on my toes and inquisitive about what is still out there to help me with other types of readings in the future. Instead of hoarding like a squirrel your videos have made me aware that I should search and buy specific decks for specific reasons, for which I thank you. My journey continues..
I had what I thought was “the” deck. I loved everything about it and the readings were exactly what I needed to hear every time - until they weren’t anymore. It dramatically went from familiarity and fondness to emotional distress when attempting a reading or even looking at the cards. I had been reading cards off and on for decades and this happened when my tarot use was at a peak and has only happened with that one deck. While perusing a metaphysical bookstore in late 2021, another deck drew me in that I never would have looked at before. The artwork is odd, the color palette not one I would normally gravitate towards but I had to have it. Soul deck? No, but it got me reading cards again after a 4 or 5 year break. The first deck - Haindl, the latter deck The Guardian Tarot. Current favorite deck: The Black Tarot.
I only started my spiritual journey exactly a week ago, and I've stuffed myself with different videos that contribute to my journey. My initial thought is that there can be a lot of tools or cards that will accompany you in the journey - - and I strongly believe that working with a number of cards for a very long time or continuously working with a handful of decks is what allows you to read the universe's and the spirits' messages clearly. It's about building a relationship with cards that you are drawn to. 😊 This is a good video also, I don't need to "search" for decks that will speak directly to me but I need to find decks that will guide me throughout this spiritual journey.
Thank you for this video!
I’m so polyamorous with my decks. I don’t have just one. For a long time I did think maybe I just hadn’t discovered my “deck”
Now I just know that it’s ok to love them all 💜
I've never used this term; but I guess it's also because I don't exactly believe in the term "soulmates". I kind of connect those terms together so if you don't believe in soulmates, you shouldn't believe in the term "soul deck" (Ok you mention this later in the video hahahaha I typed that out prior). I never had a soul deck and I don't know if I ever had or will ever have that connection you had with the Gill Tarot; so thank you for sharing this video and this message.
Great subject! I see decks more as ‘friends’ than ‘soulmates’ you wouldn’t only allow yourself just one friend your entire life ! Different friends bring different things to your life, some are straight shooters and will advise you to put your big girl pants on, some make you see the funny side with their advice, some are gentle with their encouragement, and some just bring a sense of peace and calm when you’re just hanging out with them.... decks are like people, in that they all have different energies and personalities and I love all my decks for this reason.. I do have a couple of ‘Best friends’ decks but that’s because they have been with me a long time and we’ve been through a lot together, not because they are any better than my others. To look for one perfect deck that can give you everything is just a futile mission imo. That’s not to say people should just buy every deck that’s produced either, my intuition always lets me know when there is a deck that I can learn something from and it pretty much never fails me....although I can’t say I haven’t succumbed to the dreaded Fomo either but I’m getting better with that 😉💚
Best video ever!! Love your perspective on this. Blessed be. 🖤🌻
I am always learning, growing; tastes change and I myself have so many layers to who I am. How can just one deck be the be all end all to encompass/cover that? While I’ve had sparks with a deck, I know it isn’t the one with all the answers. Thank you for this video. Great topic.
I didn't know soul decks were a thing, however I do have a deep connection with the Blessed Be oracle. Every time I pull a card from this deck, it is always the card that I need to hear the message from. Other decks have been like... yeah ok I could see how that message applies, but Blessed Be has been the only one for me with the deepest resonance.
offtopic but this haircut is PHENOMENAL on you
Looking for a soul deck is like believing and searching for “the one” true love… maybe it exists maybe it doesn’t but also, maybe we just aren’t ready for it and that is why it hasn’t shown up… BUT I’m sure as hell not wasting time and energy searching for it. It’ll show up when it’s ready and I’m ready… if it even exists at all.
This was an interesting discussion and feels like a poignant point in regards to individuals intentions behind buying decks, as well as building relationships with them. I know this is like everything in life but I feel that "soul deck" is such a broad term, which I imagine each of us has a unique definition of and maybe that's where confusion can play a part too? I could be wrong, I'm sure there's a general consensus but I'm also aware my experience feels a little different.
I really love the concept of explaining the meaning of what soul deck means to us, I'm wondering if this would expand this idea of this language. I do find myself hoping that individuals are able to hold themselves responsible though so that when listening to any RUclipsr, teacher, *insert other titles*, that they're not taking everything at face value or gospel, then assuming they've been told to go on this search.
It's interesting as I'm not attached to one deck fulfilling all my needs at all, however, when you discussed this I do feel I have a deck I feel this way about. I didn't actively search for it in that capacity, nor would I be crushed forever should I not be able to have it. We joke about these things, I know I have but in honesty, I'd be concerned if I couldn't function without them. As you say, my experience of finding this deck was also free of expectations and a working process. I feel some of this topic can be dependant again on how people are coming to tarot and their relationship with it as a whole. Is it a healthy relationship or not, what are the intentions, expectations, attachment... I'm not sure I'm making sense. So I don't find the term particularly problematic but more the idea of how each of us utilises the information and how we take in content from our fave RUclipsrs, teachers and various online sources, to the point that this occurs. At the same time looking at how we each communicate is never a bad thing either, at least for me I enjoy doing so lol. Thanks for this chit chat.
Good advice! Thank you~
I got the Prisma Visions tarot deck and I consider it my soul deck but I haven't been working with it so the bond isn't that strong as it was. On the other hand, the Mythic Oracle I'm connecting to it well because I've been shuffling it multiple upon multiple times a day. I'm going to use the tarot deck to help me learn tarot, so in a way it'll increase our bond.
This was interesting. I have not really described myself as having a 'soul deck' and I certainly don't believe in a singular soulmate either. I do agree that in my experience there is definitely the distinction between 'favourite decks' or 'decks I'd choose if I could only have a few for the rest of life' on the one hand, and 'decks I've immediately deeply connected with' on the other.
I've been thinking about this since there has been a 'favourite deck' or 'top deck' related tag going around. I feel like my favourite decks change whereas those 'immediate connections' are always going to be a thing that happened so I was kind of waffling over which deck to choose to discuss. Immediate deep intuitive connection? Buckland Romani Tarot. But 'favourite' as in favourite artwork or deck I read with most frequently? ... maybe Next World. Maybe Marigold Tarot. I don't know!! Haha.
...long story short, if 'soul decks' are a thing, I'm deck polyamorous.
Very good topic👍. I agree 100% with you.
Thank you, lovely one for this discussion.
Well, Ive felt that way decades before I ever came across your channel. So I wouldn't worry about it too much. Still looking, too. If it comes to me, great. If not, I have plenty of other great decks too.
I don’t believe that there is one perfect thing for me.
This is so perfectly put. I think everything I have has it's own purpose.
TheShadowMoonWitch this also true
This reminds me of people in the beauty community always searching for their holy grail products!
I think I couldn't find it. lately I don't feel connected with any deck😢😢😢😢. I used to think is my Morgan Greer. I have crazy dreams with it even before I had it. is the one I trust the most. abut it doesn't cover all my spiritual needs of course. 😕
I buy very few decks.
I can get excited when I see great decks, but then I look at them very analytically before bringing one home. I REALLY want a good, crisp Black and White deck, but I don't buy every one that "might" be a good fit. I'll wait until I can look at a review and say "Oh wow! " as card after card goes by as I watch a review. I saw one recently but the 1st version is no longer available and the 2nd Edition made it smaller and less vivid and uninteresting, so I moved on.
❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️
I have the Dreamtime Reading Cards in my shopping cart right now, and look forward to them, because it was an instant reaction for me to the entire deck. Card after card feels perfect for me. But even so, I have used the original Mythic Tarot, The Osho Zen, and three shiny pennies and my I-Ching manual as my working tools for over 20 years. So, I get that some are truly special and spark something amazing, but others are my working tools. Thank you for reviewing decks. It is such a huge help in the process for me.
❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️
Ooooh yeah. You made such a good point when you were talking about soulmates and how relationships need work. We can have a favourite (made a tag #yourfavouritedeck and was currently watching the vr’s!) but even that number one, I don’t experience as perfect. What is perfect, right?
Soul decks can be a fun concept in terms of what we love in a deck but it can get toxic really fast if we are not careful. It is like that need for one to meet their "soulmate" (TM) or their "Twin Flame" (TM) when all that does is give endless searching for an unrealistic or healthy approach to the relationship from the get-go. I had moments where I thought a deck would be close to a soul mate but it was more that I really enjoyed using the deck and the artwork than it was just based on my working relationship with the decks themselves. As long as the deck is readable and you enjoy using it, then it is definitely worth having. Even if it is not a "soulmate (TM)" relationship.
Thank you..... agree !
I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I disagree.
I own my soul deck, it's the deck that is perfect in my eyes. Yes, it has flaws; the sides of the deck chip, I don't like the page of cups, I find the imagery of the eight of pentacles doesn't hit right and so on. So with these flaws, why is it my soul deck? Because it inspires me to work hard, to learn and to better myself. Working with this deck has ultimately given me the knowledge and advice needed to better myself as a person, and for this reason, the vibration of my soul and energy has been raised. Hence why I consider it my would deck.
I also disagree with the statement made about soul mates. I think that a soul mate is the person in your life, romantic or not, that inspires you to be better. They push you to strive for the best. A soul mate could be a romantic partner or even your best friend. These people have flaws, sometimes even SUPER noticeable ones, but that doesn't take away from the deep connection that is felt. The thing with the soul is that the vibration isn't constant unless you put the work into making it such. In other words, the relationship between you and your soul mate will not forever be considered such if the necessary work is not put in.
Idk, just my thoughts. Also if anyone is curious the deck i was referring to is the Linestrider Tarot by Siolo Thompson :)
i had quite the love affair with chrysalis. i think, though, that these days i'm about ready to let it go (but, i don't know, those backs are so pretty!). i have decks that i *love* (noir, vachhetta, dark mansion, magnum opus, spirit keeper's) and a couple i really like, but i'm not sure if i love them or not (forest of enchantment, llewellyn). there is no such thing as the perfect deck. it's like anything, right? that perfect piece of furniture that you come to not love so much after a few years, etc. we change and grow and things, well, don't.
This video is exactly why I love you so much Katey! Yes you are a tarot polyamorist--and so am I.
I think sometimes people hear “soul deck” and equate it with “soul mate” which they further equate with monogamy, and then conclude there can be only one. But I definitely don’t believe in deck-monogamy. I have more than one soul deck (and I do think of them that way), and I even have one that I consider THE soul deck for me (Arthurian Tarot), which would be my choice if I could only have one deck. But that doesn’t mean I think it’s perfect, or fulfills my every tarot desire, and I certainly don’t think I can’t live without it. It’s just that I’ve built an incredibly strong relationship with it over many years. That, as you pointed out, takes work. And it has ups and downs, fizzy times and blah times, also as you pointed out. So I think we just have to be careful where we let our definitions of words like “soul deck” take us. ...Or in other words, I agree with you! 😂
If a soul deck exists I don't feel we should go looking for it, one may get disappointed In the hunt and not take time to build a relationship with the deck, decks they already have. I do believe in soulmates and feel it's a rare thing that happens. Both my hubby and I felt we would never even be in a relationship again or ever get married before we met. He came into my life at the right time when I wasn't looking and we were best friends for a year first. I feel like my soul deck is the same I didn't go looking for it and it came or called to me when it was the right time and I only had one other RWS deck The Radiant Wise Spirit. I found a kindred spirit in The Dreaming Way Tarot deck. It felt like home.
I find there are different times in my life and different Soul cards for that time.
I have a few extra tarot cards to trade or sale
i made my Soul deck, so ummmmm 😂😂😂👽👽👽
Hahaha i love this!
