Love the glasses on you 😎

I could do with a declutter I have a bunch of decks I don’t really use but I don’t want to get rid of either. Nice looking decks!

You look good in those glasses, Martyn . I'm allergic to decluttering 😂😂😂 I love the Cosmic Vision deck. It is a great reader

Those glasses look so good on you Martyn 💚 My decluttering goes very slowly, I love so many decks and have to be very sure it’s not for me before I let it go. I learned that I can’t read animal tarots so won’t buy those anymore. And that decks other people love don’t mean that I will love them too.

I love your orange and green look. It gives great energy.

Decluttering always feels good. 😊 Great decks, The Cosmic Wisdom Tarot is on my wishlist. 💕

Dem glasses!!!! Sexxxy boi! ✅❇️✅

Great chat! Loved it! Blessings! ❤

Thank you. I just bought this deck at a half-price bookstore. I was so excited at my find. This is so cute.

Thank you my friend for this, two BEAUTIFUL decks. I think we all need some more colour in our lives 💙 The creator of the Color Vision Oracle is re-doing the guidebook so it’s more easily readable for the re-print in November.

Would anyone consider trimming the borders?

How have you taken so long to get the Oak Ash & Thorn?! 😅 I think it came out not long before I got into tarot and it was the first indie deck I ever bought. I don’t use it a lot as a tarot deck but it’s one I’ll keep forever as the art is so beautiful and I find it comforting just to sit and look through the cards. I stay in north east Scotland and I see a lot of the animals depicted in it every day. Other decks come and go but I’m so attached to this one it’ll never leave me. Glad you’re enjoying it ❤

Beautiful, beautiful decks Martyn! I love colour & colour therapy .....but of course, I only wear black 🤣🖤

this deck really is gorgeous 💙

This looks really nice Martyn, I love colour in decks. Just for me now, a lot of decks are out of my price range when they are £70 or above. Not saying it isn’t worth it, I am sure it is and if I had the funds I would get it. I had to laugh when you were saying “hang on” when you were trying to find something - I thought you were going to say “I’m a shit show” 🤣🤣❤️

Beautiful decks. Still need to get the first deck that you showed it's been on my list for a while now.

gorgeous 💙

Martyn's been on the sherry today ,lol 😂😂😂

Much better with this full size screen format, Martyn. A very nice deck indeed. Thank you for the review

Absolutely love these decks, will treat myself one day. Adore animal decks ❤

Thank you Martyn!! This was so kind of you. Honored to get the front facing view and not the overhead hands view. Haha! I’m so glad you love the deck and book. It certainly was a labor of love! And of course, I’d be happy to chat anytime about the deck’s process.

Beautiful Martyn and yes, so wonderful to see UK flora & fauna 🙏💚

this deck is so beautiful , I'm enjoying my deck soo much and the guidebook is really informative

So, so happy I backed this deck. It arrived a week or so ago . Love it. I appreciate the Guidebook as well, find it super valuable. The deck really pairs beautifully with lots of decks as well. Super special this one. Agian love it!!!

This deck is very alluring.

They look like really nice decks.

Yay! I'm so glad you love the decks! It's been such a joy to create them. 🥰

From my personal experience from seeking psychics for a tarot reading to learning how to read them on my own I have concluded that tarot is very misleading and the bringer of false hope. I was told by many readers and my own readings that I will be with my life partner by a certain date however each reading failed by its due date and it’s been 15 years with nothing happening in my love life! I think I only cling to the idea of using tarot because some of the things they reveal do come true but a majority of the things they say especially the positive reading never ever rarely come true. Many readers encourage that I should read for other people as they say I am really good. I have only done readings for a couple of people for free and they confirmed my readings came true but I am angry at the experience I’ve had and I could never bring that same false hope to others if I were to do it for many people. I just don’t understand how tarot readers can give readings for other people about their problems when they themselves can’t even figure out their own problems despite having access to reading cards. This year is the ultimatum I have finally made and it’s leaning to not reading cards anymore. I will even seek therapy to ensure I never ever deal with a tarot deck again!

Thank you so much for this video, Martyn. It's always great 😀

Martin, you described the Somnia Tarot perfectly..claustrophobic and suffocated. Someone else here said Scared. This deck was created to do with Sleep Paralysis. For anyone who has experienced that, as I have, it is suffocating as you can’t scream or do anything to help yourself, which makes you feel as you’re slowly suffocating. Essentially..you feel paralyzed. And, the experience itself can be terrifying..at least in my case. I feel like I’m being attacked physically and mentally. I’ve read this happens when you’re on the verge of reaching an important epiphany in your life, and this attack is to prevent that from happening. I’d suggest keeping the deck and maybe go back to it later. It’s pretty powerful. 💜

Glad you had a great time in London, shame about the ebay nonsense 😢 don't know why we can't just be kind to each other.

I love the Somnia photo edition! I use it for ancestral trauma release. I have inherited family issues/ trauma , and do therapy, and I use that deck to assist that. The fact that the faces are covered is perfect, as it reflects the situation: there are ancesters I have a phot, some I have a name, some I have a birth date, some I have been told an anecdote, some I knew myself.... and mostly I have only some shards of information, or even none. As in this deck. And the covered faces leaves it open to me to insert in my mind a face from a photo or my imagination. Also the nebulous atmosphere is totally reflecting the situation, as there will be things that I'll never know, or never see clearly, and I need to accept that. The borders are necessary though, they provide a frame that is like a window. I am not in there, I'm in a safe space, and I can retreat and close the windows at any time . The covers as well as the cold atmosphere and the borders provide me with the distance that I need to be able to do it in a healthy way. I also use it to help dig through some nightmares I dreamt in the past and my newer ones. At first I was creeped out a bit, by the images. But now, I see it as scenes that are frozen in time, and covered up to not gather dust, and the initial uncomfortability has completely dissolved.

Hi Martyn, glad to see you again. Love your reviews. Have you heard about Nigredo Tarot on kickstarter? It's a really cool shadow deck. I'm all about the darkness. 😂

So good Martyn! Always appreciate your insights xo❤

I love London too, it's a spectacular city! I think it was Raecine at owlmoon513 who said the Somnia Tarot has an angry teenager vibe. It's extremely cool and I do love the art . . . but it does have that self-absorbed, self-isolating feel. The Dream Dust Shamanic deck looks beautiful -- not sure I'd use it because of the size. Thank you so much for sharing all the goodies.

I completely agree with you about Somnia Tarot. I am amazed by the creation story behind it. I was also very excited when it was coming out but then I saw the cards (maybe it was on Kickstarter) and I felt scared...But the art is definitely beautiful, great illustrations! And thank you for all the information you gave in the video about other decks🙏

Hi Marty, I also have the Somnia Tarot and I don't use it as I should, I thought I would be able to get past the covered faces but no, so it's there on my bookshelf 'resting' On the other hand, I love the Rainbow Tarot, it's so fun

You have Blythe dolls?! That’s so fun! I have about 15 of them 🤣 Great video, as always 😉

Some really interesting decks ... looking forward to some reviews in the near future. Thank you so much for sharing x

So pleased you are enjoying the Shamanic Dream Dust and it was lovely to go to the gay chandelier cafe with you too 😂 Ps: it’s the rainbow tarot not the rainbow heart xx

I have the lenora carrington deck and I enjoy the deck

I have the peculiar pathways tarot headed my way

Hello martyn,hope your doing well ,im doing ok ,watch the replay

I think the Somnia is a vibe in itself. I have it and it was my happy medium when I didn’t like using people deck. I’d got to a point where I was fed up of samey animal decks but didn’t like people decks so it kinda hit the spot. I used to call it the horses in bedsheets deck 😅 I have people decks now because I got over that non people deck phase. The Crystal Deva Oracle and Witch Oracle look really cool. Hoping for a Marty’s Doll collection video one day 😌

So glad you got the Carrington. It's a historical treasure! Rainbow Heart is nice, isn't it?

I have Rainbow tarot . Card-stock is little bit laminated - feels more paper-ish but !!! Readings with it are very on point . Worked for me nearly like classic RWS - very clear . Guidebook is well written 💜

I love Somnia but the covered faces don’t bother me. Maybe because I don’t like “people” decks anyway? I can’t remember if it was you or Levi that showed the Inner Compass but that oracle works amazingly with Somnia for me. A good pairing sometimes helps when deciding to keep deck or not. 🤷‍♀️

The missing witches deck and the Crystal Deva Cards look sublime. looking forward to seeing your reviews of the Oak Ash and Thorn and the Thistledown decks. I really love your Blythe dolls on your book shelf. looking forward to your upcomming doll video ❤❤❤❤

Oh and Stephanie is a lovely person, I love her decks I want to get the mini Oak Ash and Thorn and the Thistledown. She was kind enough to send me a review copy of her latest deck which is out around October time the Heartwood Tarot which is equally beautiful 🥰❤️
