best comparison review of these 2 decks. tysvm, appreciate your time.
@@Kitpu917 oh thank you for your very kind words, I am pleased you enjoyed it 🥰
This is one of my favorites, I’m so happy you were able to get it!
@@SecondThoughtsAboutTheMission thank you so much, J am very happy to have it 🥰💕
I knew the Tor card was going to be your favorite one. I love Avebury. Death Valley is a 10 hour drive from Arizona which is located in California : )
I’m so pleased for you Sandra. Such an exciting find. This is a beautiful deck 😍 I love colors very much and this is one of the decks I still have sealed in my collection. That is so lovely of Kathy to want you to have this deck that you’ve been looking for. I’m on the hunt for the book 🥰💖✨💕🦋
@@VanessaKismetSmitten it was really lovely, the book has been out of print for awhile much longer than the deck. It’s a large book, I remember seeing it in Watkins some years ago, what a shame I didn’t buy it then. Still, I am happy just to have the deck 🥰💖
@@SpiritofAvalon I agree, happy with having just the deck. Finding the big book will be a bonus 🥰
so great when you can get a deck that you thought you'd never get your hands on 😀 A really interesting deck, thanks for sharing with us
It is a great feeling for sure, thank you for watching 🥰💕
That’s an interesting deck. I like it😀
Did I miss it or was there no Sedona? It would surprise me to see Taos (New Mexico), but not the beautiful red rocks of Sedona (Arizona). People do come from all over the world to visit. Thank you for this video. Have a wonderful week.
@@MountainShadow8 there was an Arizona card I think but not sure if it was Sedona, I will have to check for that. I wish there had been a Mount Shasta card. Thanks so much for watching 🥰💖
@@SpiritofAvalon I agree with you about Mount Shasta. I've seen it from a distance riding the Amtrak train along the West Coast. Beautiful. I look forward to your videos. :)
@@MountainShadow8 oh I would love to see Mount Shasta 🥰 how amazing! Thank you for watching 🥰
I bought that oracles some years ago. It is so amazing. You will enjoy working with it Sandra, really. Namasté.
@@marciemckennatarot I am sure I will, thank you so much for watching 🥰💖
Pretty deck...oh to be able to see these places in person😊
@@MarilynRunkle I know! I would love to see some of them 🥰💕
….. and then I saw the Glastonbury Tor! 😮
@@the_hermits_cave I was the same 🤣 it’s on Amazon for £8.04 now 😍❤️
I would probably get this for the Avebury Standing Stones, alone 😍
@@the_hermits_cave I know right? 😍❤️
Interesting deck Sandra
I bought this deck a year ago and it has been sitting on my shelf unused. Seeing your video prompted me to pull them out again. They are so beautiful and I really enjoy the guidebook, but I think I just forgot about them. Thank you for this reminder! That could actually be an interesting tag…decks that honor sacred sites or places of power.
@@megadele65 thank you so much for watching, glad it reminded you of your deck 🥰💖
I've really enjoyed seeing this part of your collection! The black shuck sold that deck to me too. I find it hard to keep decks in bags as I completely forget about them and I forget which is in which bag!
I feel like the universe is mocking me because I also have been wanting this deck so much but the shop is closed for summer and they won’t be open until mid August or so to even ask about the deck. I just hope I can manifest getting a copy of the deck and guidebook
@@kelleypopelar3162 oh I am so sorry, I know how you feel I didn’t think I would ever have this deck. Maybe keep an eye out on some of the Facebook tarot trade and sell groups. I hope you can manage to get a copy 💖
O my heart, Sandra, you're making me tear up! I'm so happy to see this in your lovely hands. I'm also so pleased to have this deck in my collection as you know. We see things somewhat similarly! I think the lovers card clearly brings the devil image. If you think about the RWS devil and lover's cards, it makes sense to me as they are similar in composition. Plus getting entangled with a lover can be very devilish indeed! Haha I love the centers of so many of the cards being openings, or portals if you will. That's how I see them. Oh yes the books! Id like to aquire them eventually. Perhaps you and I can share fun stuff and epiphanies around the cards as we dive in! Enjoy it, my friend! Haha! Woman! You have grit to take on the pet sitting job. I hope it goes great!
@@kathykerr1202 awww well I am just so grateful to you that I was able to get this deck 🥰 it’s great that you have another copy that you will be able to use yourself. I agree about the Devil and Lovers in RWS so it totally makes sense, it would be great to share some fun stuff and what we see in the cards as we go through them. 🤣 I love that “you have grit” with the bearded dragon sitting, I hope it goes well too good thing I am not bothered by bugs! 🥰💖
Lucky lady! A very special deck indeed.
@@demeldapenkitty7937 it is and thank you 🥰💕
Sandra, this is one of my favourite decks ever! I'm so happy you managed to get hold of a copy 🥰🙏
@@houseofhag yes me too! I am so happy to have it 🥰💕
I've just seen a copy on abebooks for 1,500 £!!!!! 😆😆😆Glad you got your unicorn deck, and also glad it's never been on my list 😜💖
@@Marizeye that’s madness, I knew the prices would be astronomical now if you can even find a copy. Thanks for watching 🥰💕
So glad you were able to find a copy! Such a special deck. 😍
@@emmaythegray thank you so much, I am very happy to have found a copy 🥰💖
🤔
BEAUTIFUL! I would love to see a full walk through hearing your interpretation of the cards. Love the artistry! I would like to know the meaning of the small circles in some of the paintings.
@@MarilynRunkle I will try to do a full walkthrough once I have played with the deck a bit and read some more on Ithell Colqhoun 🥰💖
Wonderful that you were able to get a copy of this deck. Really good of Kathy to have helped. Not sure what to make of this deck 🤔. It seems to have traditional elemental colour-coding in the suits. It would be interesting if that elemental mixing happens in the Major Arcana too, perhaps with astrological significance. Definitely a deck that might give over its secrets by meditating on it. Enjoy the pet sitting! I spent a summer once cat-sitting for the Cats Protection League, cycling about town feeding cats. Loved it.
@@DavidWilson-hd6iz yes I am very pleased and Kathy is really lovely. How amazing too that you were able to help the Cats Protection League 🥰
I have this deck and thoroughly enjoy it. I am so excited to see you can now enjoy it too! 🌷
@@RootsAndWaves oh fab! Glad you enjoy it, I am so pleased to have it 🥰💖
These images remind me of the beautiful satellite photos from space of our beautiful planet. Lovely that you were able to get it and thank you for sharing ...there are faces but look at that face on the star 😍 beautiful purchase my friend xxx
@@madwitch9977 some of them do look like that, I agree 😍 definitely faces in them too 🥰💖
Beautifully packaged 😊, very intriguing deck Sandra 🌞🌻
@@AntoinetteTarot it is very different but I love the colours and patterns and that she was into the occult 🥰💖
Before I watch this video, I have to tell you that when I woke up this morning, your intro music was playing in my head. So I must have "known" that you were posting a new video. 😀 Ok, now it's time to watch it.
@@MarilynRunkle oh wow, how strange 🥰
Sandra I squeelled in delight when I saw you had put up a video. And a deck !.. I have almost stopped purchasing any. Zero in the past year. I had a near fatal stroke last year on my 65 th birthday.requiring brain surgery. All of my paralysis has resolved.Hale Hecate.
@@beckiejarrell9774 awww that’s so lovely 🥰 omg I am so sorry to hear about your stroke, that’s awful. I am glad your paralysis has been cured though, that’s very good news 🥰💖
Really interesting deck Sandra
Love this so much Sandra ❤❤
@@martys_musings thank you so much Martyn 🥰❤️
I love all your goodies but as a Beatrix Potter fan myself I sincerely appreciate those figures. Wishing you well!
@@raniafowler4599 yes! I am so glad that someone else appreciates them 😍 I was so happy when I saw them in the shop together. Thank you for watching 🥰💖
Always fun to see other peoples collections😘
@@emmajade7434 thank you so much for watching 🥰💖
Lovely decks and bags...always enjoy your collection videos 😍
@@madwitch9977 thank you so much my friend 🥰💕
Ooh, fun! 😊❤🎉
Thanks for sharing your decks in bags- enjoyed your collection of both!
@@rozl6178 thank you so much 🥰💕
I love the bunnies ❤😍🐰
Love Kelly Bear pouches especially the yellow one❤
@@singingmoon9022 I know her pouches are really great 🥰💕
You have some gorgeous bags❤ I love seeing your decks too. Also I can see the face of the Buddha in the sky on your reading cloth just between the trees😂 Giselle’s beautiful work😍
@@singingmoon9022 thank you so much and I am pleased you enjoyed watching 🥰💕
Lovely presentation and walk through, Sandra. I'm so glad to have this in my collection as well. I know we will enjoy it!!!
Thank you so much Kathy, I am so pleased to have managed to get this one 🥰💕
08:33 how spooky when you’re showing a cat deck!
@@the_hermits_cave oh that was Luna just telling us what she thinks 😂❤️
I love this deck Sandra! I had the first edition published by Fulgur and I prefer this one - the booklet is much better. Two books I would recommend - Surreral Spaces The Life & Art of Leonora Carrington by Joanna Moorhead and also a ficition title called Alchemy of a Blackbird by Claire McMillan which is a wonderful tale of Leonora and Remedios Varo using tarot as part of the narrative, loved! 🥰
@@houseofhag Hi Mel, thank you so much for the book recommendations, I will check those out 🥰💖
These cards are delightful !Thank you so much for sharing x
@@franmarley9430 thank you for watching 💖
The Wise One in the Angels and Ancestors deck looks so much like my deceased mother. It's uncanny. When I first saw it and after I finally got over the shock, I sent a picture of it to my sister. She had the same reaction. I love this deck. All the cards are powerful. And there is my mom!
@@JyndasaSkysinger omg! How amazing and I can imagine what a shock it must have been. It is nice too though that your mother is there in a deck. Thank you so much for watching 🥰💖
Appreciate this so much!
@@RoseHoneyRitual thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it Meg 🥰💖
Glad you acquired this. I don't believe there is any information indicating she ever intended to have a deck published. She painted these canvases as studies of the Major Arcana archetypes (hence the image shapes on the cards), and only after her death was it decided by others to arrange this series of paintings into a tarot deck and publish it. The original published version had a book by Rachel Pollack, but it's out of print and near impossible to find now. I have a beautiful monograph of Leonora Carrington's work. She did some amazingly dreamlike and tortured paintings, very much haunted like Frida Kahlo, but in a more floaty wispy ghostlike manner. She also penned a couple of surrealist novels. I wanted to ask as you didn't mention, did yours come with an overpowering scent of lavender perfume? If not, they must have opted to do away with that. The aroma is quite strong (and a unique touch for a tarot package). I'm so dense sometimes, I saw that shape on the box over and over and never put it together that it was a C for Carrington. Perhaps when I opened my box it was upside down and looked more like a D. Other surrealists did tarot paintings as well. One of my favorites was Victor Brauner. There is yet to be a deck released of his depictions. This is not a favorite deck of mine, with some reservations, however, I do feel it is an important historic document worthy of a prominent place alongside others who were into mid-20th century spiritual investigation.
@@toadstooltarot thanks for the info Robin that is all really interesting. I am glad that I picked this one up for the historical value of course but I also don’t mind Majors Only decks. Thanks for watching 🥰
@toadstooltarot , Excellent comment. It's always so fun, the knowledge in this tarot community!!!
Great art. I've never gotten a majors only deck but this is at a good price, so who knows? Loved seeing it, thanks for sharing. 🥰
@@papermoontarot4219 it is very nice and yes I would say it’s a good price. I am pleased to have added it to my collection 🥰💕
I am always drawn to the major arcana more in any deck. I don't know why that is. 🙃 I am still learning but often wonder if it is possible and would be successful to read the Majors only. What do you think? Your videos are always so calming and lovely xx
@@RowanStarMoonstone you can read the Majors only, some decks are purposely made like that so there would be no problem if you prefer to do that 🥰💖
Very Cool deck. Thank you so much for sharing😊
@@MarilynRunkle thank you for watching 🥰💖
Incredible Hermit card 😍
@@the_hermits_cave isn’t it? I love it 😍
I’ve seen this somewhere else recently, but can’t think where. I love it, but just wish it was a full deck. Appreciate you showing it, lovely. 😊
@@the_hermits_cave yes it is a shame it’s not a full deck but I do like it even so and for its historical value 😍❤️
