09. #ForestOfEnchantmentTarot by Lunaea Weatherstone (purchased from Amazon). This was a deck I had my eye on for quite a long time and finally got it last year. 🥰 I fell in love with the #artwork of the cards because it reminded me of the #storybooks I used to read as a child. This is such an #artistic deck and has so much #symbolism delivered in a really delightful way. A lot of symbolism in this deck is hidden within the pictures as well, and the more you study the images in this deck, the more you see. There are two decks in my collection that have really come to life and connected with me in my journey, and it is this deck and the Isis Oracle previously mentioned. These two decks are my go-to decks most of the time for guidance, though, I do give all my decks love. 🥰
10. #LucidDreamsTarot by Britta/St.Soleil (Purchased from Etsy but their shop got shut down, can still be purchased from their website).
This deck in my opinion is the best beginners tarot deck out there. It has keywords on the cards for both upright and reversal meanings. The artwork is heavily based on the #RiderWaite #tarot, but I think this deck just looks so much more appealing (never been a fan of the original Rider-Waite art style, though, I understand why people like it). It also has the #astrological symbol, #zodiac, #elemental keys on each of the cards and the guidebook goes into detail on all of this and what it all means. I highly recommend this deck for anyone new to tarot who really want to learn the ins and outs of it. The deck and guidebook are both amazing. 🥰 Also, the reason their Etsy shop was shut down was due to the amount of orders they received during the holiday season a couple years ago. Decks were delayed being shipped out for a few weeks which resulted in a lot of people requesting refunds and leaving poor reviews because of the delays and I think this resulted in their shop being shut down by Etsy. Under normal circumstances I don't think these delays would have happened, and delays wouldn't personally deter me from purchasing from them in the future. This deck can still be purchased via their website.
11. #ArchangelOracle by #DoreenVirtue (purchased at a thrift store). This is not a deck I would have purchased for myself under other circumstances, but I found the box set for it at a local thrift shop for a deal I couldn't pass up, and I have no regrets! This isn't a deck I use too often, but it has really spoken to me a few times and actually helped me to find my voice in writing. In 2020 I made a #visionboard and drew a card from that deck for the year, and received the Writing Card from #Archangel Gabriel. That year I actually ended up doing a lot of meaningful things in terms of writing and it really felt like a #divine message. This deck will always be my go-to for angelic guidance now.
Doreen Virtue has changed life paths over the years and fell into #Christianity. She doesn't support #TarotReading or anything of the likes anymore from what I have heard. Many people felt betrayed by her for that and won't support her work anymore. But for me this does not deter me from still using her creations. I think we are all on our own journey and grow and evolve in different directions. Her work was from a time in her life that those practices were in alignment with her, and just because they aren't anymore has no impact on my life and what I choose to practice. To each their own! No matter, it is still a really loving deck with really encouraging messages and guidance.
That concludes my #TarotCollection review as of 2023! One day when we have a house of our own I would like to have a designated space for them beside my #altar (which, presently, is non-existent because our living space is too small). One day though!
I hope you guys enjoyed this thread and maybe discovered some new decks in here to add to your own practice one day!🌻 If you have any questions about any of these decks, drop them in the comments and I'll answer the best I can. ☺️
