aw, thank you so much 💕ooh the circle of doors deck is quite stunning, i love that you found a soulmate in it. i certainly hope to bring it in soon. yes it is so cool that they share imagery as they are such different feeling decks. i hope a copy of the lua can find its way to you :)

haha i love that, it certainly seems so! my enemies tend to be very magnetic. oh no hope you didn't get your tea on anything that stain! yes yes it's funny how that works out... i wonder why. i do think i may want to stop approaching things in that way. my stubborn streak has to be worn down slowly but i'm definitely on my way!

All the deck names are in the description. The first deck I show is called Oracle d’OR. You can find it on Etsy www.etsy.com/listing/1196048488/

ooh i’m so glad you feel me on that! ⚡️

it absolutely is 🤯 mind boggling as a reader and ambitious from a writers perspective!

oh i’m so glad, i love that!! i look forward to reading the whalestoe letters once i finally finish house of leaves 😅⚡️

glad you enjoyed! thank you for watching 🌹🖤

yayy thank you for being here! heart heart :)

thank you! 🌹

yayy! i deeply appreciate your feedback! i’m glad the video was useful to you 🌹✨

first of all, happy birthday to you! 🌹🧡 though i’m a day or two late now! i’m so glad you enjoyed the video - your thoughts and responses are so lovely. i love that interpretation of vessel and content - that felt special. ooh not a wine snob but i am a big fan of it! i’d love to immerse myself in it one day. fermentation can give such specific and interesting tasting notes. usually an acquired taste lol. the way you approach the five of wands is so cool. i especially like that prompt to seek more information. SEEK. beautifully connected to navigation. i love that. seeking is such a great action for the suits of wands and internal conflict - then we have realization that comes with or moves us into the six! i hope your birthday was special and what you decided in terms of tarot was enriching, fortifying, resonant, ALL the things 💝✨thank you for your beautiful responses. 🤗

yes it’s so immersive it’s begs to expand into new ideas and journeys!! 💙

I have a video call, Decks that got me through the dark times (I think) it covers a little corner of what you are talking about. 😅

ooh yes i love how you mention healers - these dark decks are so healing, each in their unique way. OOI is certainly a great teacher - i’m so curious how you use it in the context of unlearning and relearning? if you feel comfortable sharing.

I will give it a look thanks for sharing! and it’s nice to meet you too 🌹thank you for being here.

yes! truly present and responsive. i love it!

yayy! and whew 😅 glad you think so🖤

oooooh what a cool way of processing that fear! i love that! and i toally agree, the white would be so disconcerting, so disquieting. now that i'm saying it, i'd wanna try it just to see what i would get out of that experience lol. nothingness and neverendingness are so terrifying. i hear you with the oracle of initiation, i definitely wish i had the tarot size -- i also prefer it without the borders. but i got my copy second hand and i scooped it for such a good price i couldn't resist. have you considered the tarot size? or do you prefer a larger edition? i'm so glad you enjoyed. i appreciate you being here, always love reading your responses 🖤

​@@everonward.Hi, sorry YT didn't notify me of your reply but yeah, I would like to try it out as well. I feel like if it took place during the day the white house would have more of a psychological effect but at night it might have a comforting effect? Since the light of the moon will help make the walls "glow" and make it easier to maneuver around..almost like a flash light/night light. But the opposite would happen where at night it would be more psychological but during the day it would be easier. This would make an interesting movie. I'm not sure actually on which size I would get.

ooh good question, you didn't miss! what i do with the house of leaves is pretty much as you said. i will ask questions based on what i'm reading. i originally started reading the book in response to a recurring dream i was having - the themes of the book felt in line with the energy of the dream so i thought it could give me some insight (i talk a bit about it in my video on pairing my reads if you want to check that out). so as i'm reading i'll pull cards based on a particular passage as it relates to my dream, or what might happen next, exploring interesting concepts, whatever sparks my interest. i will even pull cards when i come back into the book or leave it, as a way of gauging and setting the energy. it's very fluid. i'm STILL reading the book actually lol i'm really taking my time with it. at the end i want to lay out all the cards i received and see if there's a narrative for me in there.

yes, the necronomicon looks really cool! i love that for a mission of a deck. also i love the art style and the images are really evocative. oooh a deep dive into alchemical visions? i'm so curious about that. i would love to do a deep dive at some point, there is so much information in there! i agree, the large cards are quite amazing and i can still riffle and bridge them from the side which is *chefs kiss* 🙌🏽 i haven't heard of the isolation tarot! let me look now....oooh pretty cool, i'd love to see a walkthrough of it - couldn't find one anywhere! yea the oracle of initiation is up there in price. but totally worth it imo. the book is a must. i'm so glad you enjoyed! i appreciate your presence and chatting with you 🖤🖤

@@everonward.Lennan Smith posted a video a few days ago called “funky deck vibes“ where she did a walk-through of the isolation tarot. That’s how I found out about it. And Thank you for sharing details about how you pull cards as you’re reading a book. That is such a cool concept. I am going to try it. And I will definitely go back and check out your previous video where you talk more about it. I’m reading a book right now that’s very interesting and kind of weird called “near to the wild heart” by Clarice Lispector. This could be the perfect book to try your method of pulling cards. Today, I read a sentence in this book that I had to read over and over because it really captivated me. It said, “even pleasure doesn’t give me as much pleasure as being evil,” I loved that! Anyway, I could go on and on, but I will end it here. Thank you for your thorough and detailed response!

oh okay i will definitely be checking out that video. i haven't read that book but it is on my list. i think you're right, it could be a great one for that. and since you're reading clarice lispector i think you'll really like the video i made! haha no pressure but now i think you really must - if you want - then let me know your thoughts! ooooh i really like that line! very thought provoking. hmmm i'll be thinking about that for a while.... thank you for the same! 🌿

@@everonward. Yes I went back and watched your book/deck pairing video. It was so great! And I started laughing when you showed one of Clarice Lispector‘s books, after I had just mentioned that I was reading one. That was pretty cool. AND I have just started reading women who run with the wolves, and I instantly thought of the circle of doors tarot to pair with that book. We will see how that goes. This has been a great exchange, so thank you for responding to all of my comments. Looking forward to your future videos.

I agree on the Iris being a dark deck. I recently called it a "body horror" deck in a VR. It's a tough one but worth the big feelings.

yes, i definitely would love to give the deck study, the guidebook is so full of information - as well as the images. it's definitely a gem. it has a lot to offer.

oooh i can totally see the body horror aspect of the iris. what video was it? i'd love to check it out!

you're the sweetest 🖤🌺 it can be quite scary to work with the dark but in a lot of ways, but i feel like i didn't have much choice in the matter - my only way out was through. sometimes i'm still wading through! i don't know if i'll ever get the deviant moon, but i would like to experience it in person at least. it's such an interesting deck. i totally understand with the antique anatomy, the body can be a vast wilderness, difficult to map and find peace within its own intelligence. the alchemical visions and i have an on again off again relationship, i don't blame you, it's a lot to take in! the word i could have used in the video is portal, it opens a portal then sets you loose in that realm, very intimidating!! thank you so much for watching, it's always lovely chatting with you🌷🍀🩵

When you said, you didn't have much choice i thought about the Strength card. Hard, traumatic experiences, but even those little not-so-traumatic give choice what we do about that. We can choose path of anger or selfgrowth. This leads us to taming "the beast", or not. The path you've chosen makes you so beautiful soul. Sorry if that makes no sens, i think that in my language i could explain ot better. Often when i'm writing to you i'm afraid that my words come harsh or wird.

wow, you are definitely speaking truth. i love the way you said that and connect it with the strength card. i had a whole conversation about it with a friend. you're right, and i appreciate you saying it. 🩷🌺🌿 btw your words always make sense to me!

ever, I loved all the dark decks you suggested and your reasoning behind each choice. What comes to mind for me is, of course, the Ceccoli Tarot -- beautiful and confronting and supportive at the same time. I use it to talk to my mom...but not for every conversation I have with her. You know? Also, I love reading with the Unfinished Business Tarot and the Haunted Manor Oracle together. They are dark decks in terms of subject matter, and they also lift me up as I travel into the beauty of their images. Not a 100% aesthetic match, but the messages are quite profound and a lot of fun! And I see the Jonasa Jaus Tarot as a dark deck. Reading the deck as the artist intended, the images can be a bit raw with pretty sharp edges to them (to put it mildly). I love that so much, because even as the cards challenge my emotions, they surround me with a scent of vibrant power -- I can almost smell the gorgeous plants and flowers in the cards. 🖤🌿🌱🌺🌹🖤💛

yes! the ceccoli tarot is a huge one as far as dark decks go. i can't believe i still don't have it lol. how cool and sweet that you use to it talk to your mom 🩷 the unfinished business tarot! i think i underestimated that deck, the majors are so good. i can totally see the pairing with haunted manor, they both have a "whisper of the past" feeling to them which i can see as bringing you on a journey! i love that they lift you up! mmm jonasa jaus, what a beautiful deck. "a scent of vibrant power" ooooh that's so delicious! i've never heard a description like that 🏵️🖤🌼🤍

yes, that work can feel really dark but even when it doesn’t, i have this feeling that i’m stepping into a realm of potential shadows in order to find and be the light. haha thanks for seeing that. it’s precisely because of that fear that i know it is mine to do! 🩵🩵

PS about Antique Anatomy - i love it, but for me that deck always was very serious like "don't bother me if you have some trivial questions, or i will hit you". Answers i've got was always spot on, but in kind of way "you have to do something with it, if you aren't willing to do it right, don't ask me, choose different deck".

oh my goodness so lovely to see you again as well 🤍🤍 i’m so intrigued about your experience with the sacred hags. i agree it so hard to truly apply to anything. maybe i need to try it for a specific type of reading, maybe check again what’s in the book. who knows? maybe i should just give up lol i’m just stubborn! and yes i’m so glad we all agree how wonderful poesis is! very profound and it feels so very human.

how interesting too that you’re drawn to tarot in a particular season. that’s so beautiful to me. i love how the seasons affect our feelings and habits. and how cool, i myself have also been painting and drawing these days! it’s been so long and it just felt right. i’d love to know what kinds of ideas and subjects you draw and paint.

haha i love your commentary on antique anatomy!! so spot on to my experience. it really doesn’t wanna talk to me about anything, just the info and move on. very serious indeed. i don’t know if i love it enough to keep it though since it just keeps me at arms length!

also i (clearly) love long comments, so whatever you want to write, please do 🤍 also you can always email if you wanna do that! blossomeverlua@gmail just throwing it out there. as always thank you for your presence and thank you for sharing 🥰

yes! i will definitely share if something comes up! i pulled it out the other day and abandoned ship after one daily draw… so yea i’m still working on it! 🤣 it’s a great one, i hope i can make sense of it soon! ⚡️

thank you soo much 💗 that means a lot

wow thank you and okay, i'm on it! 🤓💗

@@everonward. 🎉💯‼💛💛💛

i'm glad you felt and enjoyed the lens of the video. your presence is always deeply appreciated <3 <3

oh my thank you 🌷🙏🏽 you just made my day! happy to be back, and look forward to seeing you around 😊

@@everonward. Awwee! We just made each other's day. :)

thank you 💗 i totally get that, it holds a lot of energy. but certainly lovely when the reading is just right for the deck. have a wonderful day ✨💖

hmm that's interesting...i would say a few certainly are comfort decks, but it all depends how you define comfort decks which i'm now realizing has a lot of range! for me comfort decks are ones that i would reach for off the top of my head in a moment of need - not a lot of decks would make that list, and they would change depending on the need. then soft girl decks being ones that generally feel in line with self-care and sensory delights.

yes! i got it from goddessgiftsshop on etsy. here’s the link: www.etsy.com/shop/GoddessgiftsShop

hey now that’s an idea! any recommendations for how to do it without messing up a box? haha because that’s my first thought…

I think DG can be a strict, even hard teacher. Some of those herbs are hard survivors!

mmm i really appreciate your thoughts here… i still have much to discover with the deck but when i used it for daily draws it was so supportive for me, likely bc i needed that at the time. i can totally see how they can be more intense teachers in different contexts, plants aren’t all soft & comforting! i’ll definitely be exploring that perspective with the deck soon. thanks so much for being here and sharing 🖤🖤

right?! it’s such a unique one because you can feel the way rachel truly and deeply honored water. btw thanks for being here and sharing 🩵🩵

right? the gentle tarot is such a gift, a balm to the soul. oooh yes i would love to have the future ancestors as some point, or maybe work in line with that idea. the deck is so rooted yet soft from what i’ve seen. i never thought of the sacred creators in that way, thanks for sharing! 😊

eee so glad you enjoyed ☺️💗 thanks for being here

ooooh i love that. such a good idea to work with the astrological shifts. i totally see the deck as sort of alien, otherworldly, cosmic beings that are connecting with me so working in tune with the celestial bodies is sooo good!

@@everonward. totally!!! 👽🖖🏼 hehe

oooh i love that, enamored, yes ✨ it’s such a unique deck. i’ve seen folks talk about getting it but not a lot of videos about working with it… maybe i’ll do that at some point 🤔 don’t hold me to it, but i’m writing it down lol

haha yes!! i was just instinctively sharing but that is definitely my soft girl rock, i love it so much 🤍🤍 now i’m gonna be looking for some angst rocks and decks!!

i’m sending you so much love, and so proud of you for taking care of yourself during this time. i’m glad the video could be part of that 🩵🩵🩵

yes!! i 100% agree, its super special. ✨

i know right?? such a stunning work! i regret not getting the dream vision but now i feel i don’t need both… tho not totally convinced lol and thanks so much! always appreciate your feedback ☺️

@@everonward. haha I have the Dream Vision and that's why I decided not to back the Dream of Nile 😂 this is what happens when we try to be sensible

lmao that’s great, and here i thought prudence was a virtue 😂

yea shamanic is such a perfect description of it. that makes me wonder how i can work with it in alignment with that… 🤔 notch holes!! 🤣 that’s great!!
