This was a fun and interesting video to watch over a glass of wine this weekend. Thank you, Robin!

I have only just watched this Robin, one I missed for some reason. I like this deck and am thinking of getting it myself more for the historical value like yourself 🥰

This was great Robin. I enjoyed seeing your choices for this super super fun tag. I will definitely be trying this one out! Thank you for sharing. 💖

hello😀 thanks for video! decks re so beatiful. Could you tell me where can i buy now rws (top 1) deck?

Thank you sooo much for your review…. I have this deck and enjoy it very much… I have reviewed it in my channel recently and enjoyed it very much…, I will keep watching your channel as I am a subscriber….

I have been thinking about getting this deck for a long time and I always get distracted by other decks and leave this one to the side…. Your video has helped me make up my mind and I will order it and review it on my channel as well. Thank you again and I will subscribe and look out for your videos….😊

Thanks for showing these, it's very helpful :) I'm considering buying this exact deck, but I've noticed that someone on Amazon commented that this version slightly stretches out the cards to fit on a different card ratio. In this video I notice that all the coins look a bit horizontally stretched and elongated, but I can't tell if this is just the camera angle. Is there any chance you could confirm for me whether this is the case? It seems like such a strange choice, but i fit's true I'll probably go for the full sized version. Thanks!

Lovely little deck. I too loved Winnie the Pooh as a a child and the artwork is beautiful 😍 A great nostalgia deck 🙏🏼💜

I adore almost everything about this deck. As you already know, I think, I backed the special box that came with "all the things" because A.A. Milne books of Pooh were my most treasured things as a kid. I have discovered that 320 gsm is about my perfect cardstock, so this is a little thick for me, especially with the mini. BUT aside from that? I think the two creators knocked it out of the park. I have kept the extra cards in because, for me, they add to the adventures of Pooh. On top of that, the sisters who created this are awesome people.

This was a fun spread. I'm going to try it. Thank you both for sharing!

Oh nice, I'll hastily fetch a deck, and be back immediately to play along....

This sounds amazing Robin!

Beautifully said, Robyn. 🍄🃏

Great walk through! I am loving this deck so much. ❤

Thanks I prefer the centennial

I do like the Tea Stained RWS Robin thank you for sharing that with us. The colour pallets on both your other decks are lovely and very easy on the eye. I got to thinking, when someone adjusts colours, sizes, adds their own twist such as frame size, the tiny star on the bottom of the cards, does that still constitute the cards as bootlegged or as an alternative version of the original? As you rightly say though, it is up to the individual to judge for themselves. Enjoy your new decks and once again thank you for sharing them with us.

Hi Robin! Too bad about the bootleg. I hate it when those pop up. I'm liking the tea stained. I always love a good RWS! 💜

Enjoyed seeing your deck purchases as always, Robin. I’m curious what your opinion would be about something I’ve been wondering about for a while. Is it considered “wrong” to buy bootleg copies of decks that are out of print, unlikely to ever come back into print, and for which used copies are selling for exorbitant prices? Am I right in thinking that the creator would not receive recompense anyway for something that’s no longer in print, nor for the high priced second hand copies, so the bootlegs in these cases are not that harmful?

Really enjoyed this video, thank you🧡🌺💕

Thank you for this great video. I bought the deck before I saw your video (it was actually on its way to me when I watched this☺) and was SO happy I did ! I was going to add numbers to the major arcana but found that it wasn't really necessary. The minor arcana is easier to decipher. I totally love the shamanic feel of this deck. I bought the booklet too. It's now my most loved used tarot🧡🌺💕

For the cave, primordial vibe, The Old Gods tarot by Cilla Conway, came to mind.

thanks for sharing this deck and linking to the creator's interview. very interesting concept. i see using AI for tarot as a similar process of divination as something like tasseography. it's up to individuals to decide if a computer should be involved with their divination. there are other points against AI, but if technology is used for magic/spiritual work is an individual's educated decision

Yes!!!!!! I just got this deck and I love it. As soon as I saw it I wanted it and I don't do that

I have this one, also the primordial tarot from lo scarabeo. They are both similar in feels, but different. Have you got the other one? It is more primate with a slight deviation from normal tarot.

"IA"!? I meant AI. lol.

I agree, I also see many artists have never studied the occult so the imagery is corrupted.

Hi Robin, Thank you for answering my question earlier at Simon’s live about the Devil’s card. I see both cards now. mine came in a tuck box and cardstock is linen. Is yours?

This was really fun to watch! I'll try that too! As for your question, if that's layering, I think everybody understands something different by that word. Personally, I would call it "decks having a conversation or discussion", while we as a reader are listening to their points, like a king listening to a discussion of his 2 advisers, and then it is for us to decide how we process the information and make up our own mind, and decisions, considering also the point of views of the 2 advisers. When I am "layering" cards, I do it usually like this: I pull a card that gives me a "realm" (for example area of life, or a chakra, or an emotional state etc.), and a second card for "what's going on" in the sense, that I do think the "realms"are not static, but always moving, flowing, changing, swirling..... and the second card is giving details on what is moving this, or what is the force at work that is brewing together there or impacting it or impa ting my situation etc (this might sound a bit nebulous, but with a clear question in mind, those aspects can be adapted and worded more specific and clear obviously). Another thing I do, that I consider layering, is, I pull a row (2- 7 cards) from Marseille minors, and read the story in as many ways possible (from left, right, mirroring etc.), then I pull 1 major for each minor and lay it in a second row, and those give me something like characterisation, role, motivation, the potential, atmosphere, image of self or inherent potential lessons of the attached card in the upper row. Then I retell the story in the new light, which can be very surprising and unlocking at times.

Ich finde, dass bei der ersten Legung von Chris auf seine Frage bezüglich Karriere es scheinbar so ist, dass er es nicht so ernst und anstrengend nehmen soll, da auf der anderen Seite eine starke Präsenz der Kelche ist. Also mehr wie ein geschickter Surfer, der zwischendurch auch warten und genießen kann. Darauf achten, nicht allzu verbissen zu agieren. Ich mag Deine Videos sehr gerne!

I ordered your current favorite deck after watching your walk-through. I feel it will be a favorite of mine--when it arrives.

I’ve loved her art for a long time. Didn’t know this deck existed! Yay! 🎉

Beads to breathe - I'm a fan! Brilliant idea

Loved!

I ordered some decks from mpc and they have a chemical smell from the coating or lamination, as a former printer i recognise it. I leave them out of the box.Thank you for your walkthrou.

I want to like this deck so much but I can’t get on with the pictures at all.

It’s like the motherpeace tarot. The artwork style.

The artwork looks childish because most people stop drawing at an early age. So whenever they go back to drawing they have to pick up where they left off. Because people don’t practice drawing their skill is arrested at that age that they stopped at.

I don’t think I’d manage the texture or smell of those cards, Robin! I quite like the black, but I think it would be more intriguing if they went full out for night skies or stormy skies - or both! Just black is a bit of a waste!

I’m so delighted you’re doing this as I had wanted to buy this deck for ages. It’s not going to be released here in Ireland til end of May. The thing is, Rachel may not have been a fine art artist, but she embodied so much of what I love about tarot and all of her writing is so valuable that I think it is a rich contribution to the world of tarot. I’m thrilled it has come back into print. ❤ thank you 🙏🏽

too bad the black and full color is sold out; a textured deck is interesting to me, but i'm unsure about slippery plastic and a bad smell ! i've had things which i'd ordered online have an overwhelming and sharp smell, and i think it comes from whatever ink they use in printing. your idea to air them out is a good one. although i wonder what the production must be like with all that plastic and ink ! but i like the concept as darker background brings the foreground into focus. it might be a nice deck to use the RWS for "shadow" work :) the green gold deck is VERY flashy ! and the deck box is a better deal than the basic plastic with the first one . i imagine it would be a nice deck to use for a party or somewhere with low lighting. i'd not heard of or seen textured cards like these before. thanks for the video

I like the first black one, never been keen on the Universal though, although the bluey green background looks nice.

I definitely would be suspicious about a deck that smelled that bad. Have you thought about getting Florida water, mixing it with water, and spraying a rag (don't saturate, just dampen) and wiping down each card? I wouldn't put the cards back in the boxes. Leave out. Maybe include sage after wiping them down?

I have the sapphire blue one and it’s beautiful. I have a similar black one as your other one but it has a vintage/work treatment. I like your version of the black one!!

I like the black bg one though not a fan of the flashy one. My favorite RWS is a watercolor styled deck from Dark Forest on Etsy.

How many decks do you own ? I know this is old but just popped up on my channel. I do like both with border and without. Artistry without border looks more zoomed In. As this is old video which one do you prefer ?

Thank you for sharing, Robin. I love these.

Thank you for this informative walk through.

Wow fascinating thank you for reading the moon card just full of all the good stuff 🦜 great content.

Thank you Robin yes agree with 5 swords you said reminds you of Egyptian and yes to 👽 and mybe Myan culture. Lol I wonder if anybody from the City of Angels Coast to Coast reads Tarot it'd be interesting to hear George N. 's take. 🥰

Thank you for showing all the Minor Arcana and linking the images to the Major Arcana. Sellers of these decks are only have pics of a few Major Arcana cards. If you are a Tarot enthusiast, you need at least 1 of all of the following patterns: Sola Busca, Oswald Wirth, Rider Waite, Thoth, Marseille, Golden Dawn, and Michiate (have I missed any?). There are hundreds of Rider Waite variants, about 10 Marseille variants, but few of the others. The Universal Wirth Tarot (also by Lo Scarabeo) is a prettier, modern version; some will prefer it, while otehrs might like the more antique feeling of the Symbolic Wirth deck. Up to you. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law".
