@@TheCreatrixWay the somnia is a deck I’m so so glad I took a chance on! It doesn’t get as much use because it’s not an “everyday” reader for me but when I pull it out man does it pack a punch! I’m now pairing it with the oracle d’OR and it’s an amazing combination 💖

@@ACupOfTarot Oh wow, what a beautiful combination, the messages you get from those two together must be so powerful! 🤩✨

@@ariffleintime thank you Cassandra! Just doing the series is cathartic but also I’m realizing that we’re so not alone in experiencing these emotions. I’m hoping to upload another one today!!💖

@@lauramayfair7887 I’m so so glad you’ve received your deck and it has resonated with you 💖 it means the world when I get these comments and I truly appreciate everyone who has supported this passion project. If you haven’t yet please do email me on acupoftarotreader@gmail.com or message me on IG for a copy of the guidebook.🤗

@@RoaenHere thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing this. I relate very much to the specific thoughts you’ve mentioned. I’ve been there and that can be incredibly difficult to deal with and Im sending all the support and hugs. Definitely when it comes to any thoughts of harm (emotional, physical, whatever it is) I always encourage people to speak to a professional for support. I’m so grateful for therapy for all the tools I’m learning and for tarot for being able to help me practice mindfulness. It’s so nice to be able to have several tools in the toolbox that I can turn to yknow? On a more personal note…you absolutely deserve love and I wish you all the best. Sending hugs 🤗

@@ACupOfTarot I want to assure you I am in therapy and under medical care, and these thoughts are only thoughts now and not the compulsions they used to be! Believe it or not, this is the improved state 😅 I appreciate you, thank you.

@@RoaenHere 😅 I hope I didn’t cross any boundaries there! I sincerely apologize if I did 🙂 haha I do understand that…this is me improved as well and I still feel like a cross between a trash panda and a dumpster fire on my worst days 😂 but hey, at least now I can laugh at it? LOL

@@ACupOfTarot You're all good, no offense was made! I realized how frightening and concerning it might be if someone commented that on one of my videos, so I found it prudent to assure you that I'm not in immediate danger, ha! I'm sorry you can relate, but we're not alone, and like you said, we get some hilarious perspectives and stories out if it!

@@RoaenHere💖🙌🏽🤗

@@megadele65 I’m sorry you’re feeling that heaviness too Megan! Fear can really do a number on us. But it’s also a good indicator that something isn’t right or we’re not addressing something. I hope you get clarity with your reading 💖 I’m still working through my fears myself and trying to diffuse the “sticky” thoughts 🙂 and thank you for your thoughtful comment and sharing where you’re at as well. I appreciate it!

Hi Megan! Thank you for being so open as well! I share exactly for this reason…because we’re less alone than we may feel at times and it helps to know that :) Its really tough to be dealing with childhood trauma as an adult because it can be so much “easier” (at least it feels like it) to sweep that under the rug and pretend that we’re okay. Thats truly amazing that you’re seeing the connections there and exploring that more. I hope you have a much better rest of the month and again, thank you for sharing. It’s lovely getting to know you on this platform :)

@@MoonlitMama444 thank you 💖🫶🏼 I love using your deck, it’s become such a go-to in my collection!

@@lauramayfair7887 oh my thank you so much for your kind words and I’m very much looking forward to having you work with the deck 💖 I hope it will resonate with you in person too :) I’m also working on a pdf guidebook that will be available for free to anyone who has ordered the deck 💖 I’ll update here and on IG when it’s done…should be available in a week or two

@@ACupOfTarot That's so exciting. I will enjoy using the guidebook, too. Very generous of you. The colors are just so beautiful. I want to immerse myself in every image. Absolutely enthralled. ♥️

@@megadele65 ooooh absolutely see that as well! Tarot really is amazing! You have the archetypal meaning and then you layer it with context (of the reader, of the querent), and add to that our own filter with which we view the cards. The interpretations really are endless :) you definitely sent me down a rabbit hole today haha I love it!

@@megadele65 and now you’re completely blowing my mind haha. Thats definitely food for thought! Also though I think that everyone operates from ego on a day to day and we claim insight and self awareness…so maybe it’s possible to sort of go outside yourself and see the ego as another part that’s acting out? Have you heard of internal family systems? I love that model because it uses a “core self” and then other “parts” of ourselves that clamor for attention.

@@kalsolomon3581 🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much for supporting the sundar tarot, I appreciate it very much!

Thank you so much for your kind words Shanna. It means a lot to hear from others and it definitely helps to know that this isn’t a singular experience. I struggle with putting out more personal content but ultimately I hope that I can show how truly helpful tarot has been for me in how I process and release. Thank you so much for the encouragement 💖

Thank you Nisha! 😊

Absolutely worth the purchase!! I devoured it and learnt so much from it 💖

I’m so so very sorry for your loss Megan…there really are no words but I am sending you a big virtual hug across the miles and the screens. I’m certain they felt your love and care and I’m amazed at your devotion to them. I hope you take all the 4 of cups time you need. On the decks…I’m thrilled you picked those up and I hope they connect with you as much as they have with me. The poems are from 2 sources…one of them is Sabrina Benaim’s book “depression and other magic tricks” and the one one is a poem by Rilke (from his book of hours). I’m not very well versed in poetry but those poems (especially the first one) have carried me through some really tough times. I’d love to hear how you get on with the decks and thank you so much for your thoughtful and vulnerable reply. It means so much 😊

Haha classic case of “it’s not you it’s me” lol thank goodness I picked it up. One of my favorites now!

🫶🏼🙌🏽

Hi Megan! Haha I think living in a country where shipping might cost as much as the deck helps with the self control part 😂 I love that you have all 4! Which one is your favorite? I wish they’d come out with a Rilke divining poets deck because I would just beg them to take my money 😂

@@ACupOfTarot Ah I didn’t think about the shipping cost. I have to remember that living in the US, I am very fortunate that most of the decks I buy have free shipping. Honestly, I love all the divining poets decks. Lucille Clifton is great, but so is the Emily Dickinson one and the Yeats one. I just realized I don’t have the Rumi one. I meant to purchase it, but then I didn’t. I am not familiar with Rilke. I just downloaded a couple of her books onto my Kindle, so thank you for that new information. I’m super into poetry right now so it’s always great to be introduced to an unfamiliar voice.

@@megadele65 I’m very much a beginner to poetry but I absolutely love Rilke! He’s amazing :) I’ll likely purchase the rumi divining poets deck soon!

Looking forward to working with your deck even more! 💖

Omigosh that’s so kind of you to say! Currently it’s not available for purchase but I’ve been thinking more and more about it. If it does become available that way I’ll announce on IG or here on YT :)

@@ACupOfTarot I think you should put it out there! Because you are honest about your process and why you are doing it etc, people will absolutely love it 😊

@@Tarotismagic thank you so much for the encouragement! 🫶🏼🤗

Aww thank you! It’s been such a good reader so far! 💖

I resisted them too! I didn’t like anything too positive and was drawn to decks that would deal with the shadow side of things. My favorite affirmation deck would be the align: heart affirmations oracle. It looks so sweet but the messages hit so hard. And it’s a great balance of energies too.

I’m so excited to use it in my practice 💖

Aww thanks Tara!! So happy to be here 💖🥹🫶🏼

Thank you so much 💖🥹

Thank you for being on this space 💖🥹 and I hope you welcome the changing or new dreams 💖

Thank you so much for sharing Megan! I’m so very sorry for the trauma you experienced…yet grateful that you had those pockets of wonder and magic that you can call on. I completely hear you on the knight of cups as I’ve a tendency to look for “excitement” in that area (and surprising to no one but me lol…it doesn’t always work out). And finally, I’m so glad to hear the reading resonated 😊 I struggle with feeling like my life is too “small” but at the same time I love the simplicity and peace I have now. 💖 so im adjusting and learning that’s more than okay!

Thank you 💖🥹🙏🏽

Oh my goodness thank you so much for your kind words :) it means so much as someone new to this space 💖 I’m thrilled you picked up the lonely dreamer and the third and final edition comes with an amazing guidebook! The reclaim does pop up for resale every now and then and j hope you can find a copy of that too! I’m excited to complete the guidebook for my tarot - even if it’s a personal project I’d love to record some of the research that went into its creation 💖 hopefully I can share more of that soon!

Me too! Do you have the illustrated one?

@@ACupOfTarot no, I have only the photographic one. I think the illustrated looses a lot of that special vibe the photographic one has. Basically imho it is "just" an RWS deck, but the photos and the real covered faces make it for me like it is a window or door into my own inner/ dream/ emotional world. Walking in that world can be ghostly and scary, but I am safe, as this is all part of my inner self. That's also why I like the borders: they give me the safety of a window frame and I can pull back out, and watch from a distant, if needed.

@@khan7459 that’s why I continue to debate picking up the illustrated version, thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂

​@@ACupOfTarot "if in doubt, do without" I read somewhere, and you'll still have that money. The question is, do you really need 2 Somnia versions, or is the photo deck enough, from the "your personal tarot practice" point of view. Of course, if you are the "collector type", you might want all versions, or Nicolas Bruno decks, or all RWS-ish decks. A deck I am debating is the remembering the sweet fool. I kind of hoped it would go OOP so it wouldn't bother me anymore, but now there is even a pocket version ...

💖💖💖

It really threw me how calm the energy of the deck was when I got it in person! 💖 one of my faves for sure!

It’s such a treasure!

Heyyyyy I missed you on IG! I was trying to get in touch to offload my naturescapes! I hope you’re doing well! 💖

I'm doing well, thanks Anj!! So so happy you finally posted here.💕 OMG I do like that deck. 😍 If you still have it next month, that's for me! 😄

@@papermoonandtarotbyrika I'll reserve it for you!

hi hi! Let me know if you still want the naturescapes :) and how do I reach you pala hehe
