I love this deck so much. Sometimes I find decks that are esoteric or highly themed don't really dig into the meaning of RWS with how they draw the pips-- for example, some might just redraw an animal in place of the character, or they scale back too much. I find this deck holds the true meaning very close and pulls it to a higher meaning. For example, the four of pentacles. It isn't shying away from the RWS artwork/positions and it's taking the meaning further and deeper.
Just discovered this deck recently and now it’s my absolute favorite. I am SO PICKY when it comes to decks and the imagery I connect with, and you summed up everything I feel about it so perfectly. I’m also very color and symbolism driven and for some reason that’s hard for me to find in a deck haha
GORGEOUS deck. Incredible imagery...appears to be inspired. Guidebook is available at the website. Surely hope there will be a printed, detailed Guidebook available at some point. Thank you for sharing~
This deck has such great court card designs. I did a review of this on my channel as well and was so lost for words during it, just like you. It’s so special.
The first impressions video I have been waiting for! 😅 I knew you backed this one and when I got mine in, I knew it was something special and was SUPER curious to hear other people's thoughts on it. I personally love that it doesn't have a detailed guidebook, only because this deck does seem to beg one to use their intuition to interpret the images. Some thoughts on the 5 of Swords: This particular image brings to mind the phrase "punching down" with that giant fist, and the little figures in the bottom left looking distraught and defeated. It also kind of gives me a feeling of the broader idea of "oppression", which is one of my keywords for the 5 of Swords in certain contexts.
YES! The more I've sat with that 5, the more it's landed for me and I DO totally agree, after working with it this week , that it's a powerful intuitive deck!
I am rewatching this a I do another flip through of my new 2nd edition. There are a few significant changes to some of the imagery, but I don't think I mind. One thing I notice is that cards that had something indistinct about them are even more so. The 8 of pentacle is the same and it is my favorite example of that card so far. In my mind, the figure is taking the Ideas in their head and making them manifest either by writing it down or mixing it in a bowl.
So glad you did this video. I got it last week and did a walkthrough with my own impressions. I LOVE everything about it EXCEPT for the box art, cardbacks and metallic edging. I understand you have a video showing how to file metallic edging off. For me, that will make it a warmer, friendlier, and more useable deck. The cold sharp edging cuts me off from embracing it. (yes, it reminded me of Mystic Mondays, but also Seventh Sphere...light energy beings-White Witch Tarot).
The only reason I am staying off this deck is the price and no guide book included. It’s on the higher price range with $70 … so no guide book stopped me from buting it
@@AuntyKsTarot 🙄 relax. Last I checked we can leave our opinion too. I have enough decks to know the difference between indie and mass market quality vs price.
Thank you Lisa for this awesome review! I love how you often make me laugh with your adorbs enthusiasm for decks you love and with this one, your OTT response literally made me go back it on KS! I am an Aquarian and love a cosmic vibe ( as a kid in the 70's I was taken by my dad to see the animated futuristic film Fantastic Planet and it became a real touchstone for me) and this deck totttttalllly gives me those feels. Also I think this deck will pair purrrrrfectly with Lemurian Starchild Oracle which I have never seen you talk about and leads me to think you don't have it and I think you'd LOVE it! !) Cannot wait to receive this deck. It will always be a "Lisa made me do it" deck"!
Ok wow….I didn’t pay attention to this campaign and now that I’m seeing the deck I’m 🤯🤯🤯. I have nothing that has this kind of energy in my collection…I feel like the Star Tarot does a teeny bit in terms of the color and slightly cosmic feel but this is wayyy more cosmic. Just wow wow wow. I might need this.
I think this deck is stunning! I’ve been thinking about a deck for mediumship and when I saw this one I was like this is it! I have to wait though and see if it goes mass. Fingers crossed because I haven’t seen anything else that comes close to feeling right in that for me. I saw a ghost tarot by Lo S but that just wasn’t it for me. So I’ve been waiting and whew….this one is it.
I'm so drawn to this deck it's not even funny. Pastels are my weakness 🥰 I checked it out in Etsy but wow £88 for one deck (including taxes and shipping to UK)... BUT I have added it to my favourites, so it will be mine one day! ✨💕
okay, so, watching this and seeing the devil card is what has convinced me to back the kickstarter for the 2nd edtition - first kickstarter for me \o/ it comes with a guidebook this time so I'm hoping we'll get some insight from the artist, I honestly prefer to know what was behind the artists vision than a bunch of keywords or meanings. both would be awesome! ;) thanks for this
Beautiful deck, technically not reversible backs, the colors around the eyeball (top yellow, bottom pink) but that shouldn't be very noticeable. And I think it's kind of a cool small detail.
The six of Pentacles, before I saw the figures in shadow, I saw it as me being the person without who needs charity. I’m working with this deck this month, and watching you enjoy it so much has re-ignited my excitement about it.
It’s not for me. I would describe it as “creepy candy coloured galactic alien tarot”. But that’s the beauty of having so many tarot decks out there - there’s something for everyone. It’s not for me, but glad others love it.
I completely agree with you Lisa, this deck is everything that I really wanted Mystic Mondays to be, but ultimately as beautiful and evocative as this deck is I still cannot connect with it the way that I would love to because the creator has chosen to not include her thought process behind her artwork in the meanings of the cards and I can't justify purchasing a 70 dollar deck that doesn't include a guidebook, and an in depth one at that. It's fine she wants to keep the meanings on the website but whyyyyy do they not explain the artwork and help us understand it on a deeper level?!?! 😢 I'm definitely selfish in that way with decks too, being able to work with really good guidebooks is how I'm able to form a better connection with my decks. So while I had considered backing this deck when it was on kickstarter I decided that it's just not for me. Maybe I will eventually get it or maybe I'll never feel that it's a right fit for me in the end but I can at least enjoy this deck by living vicariously through you!!!!!
Odd. I almost backed this deck but didn't because it reminded me of Mystic Mondays. And I actually like the MM deck, so I didn't feel like I'd use this one. And I thought I'd regret it, but...I don't after seeing it now. Those figures (whatever kind of beings they're supposed to be) is actually turning me off. Still pretty, but...idk.
It's pretty, yes. But I hate this art style. I don't think it's conducive to my reading style. It's too much...overstimulating. All of a sudden, I understand why people don't love busy cards. These cards aren't busy as far as detail, but the cards have too much going on with the colors, the eye tricks, and the dramatic close ups. I'll be interested to see how long this deck lasts for you.
At first I thought the cloth matched the deck. Afterwards I thought not as much. May I suggest use a cloth that matches one of the colors on the back. I’d pick a color that you see less of or I’m thinking a chartreuse color. The back of the deck is gorgeous colors fantastic , oh that’s weird when you pulled out deck the backs was different from what I saw on the box cover. Thought the backs would look like the cover . I’m so disappointed. As the cover is way and I mean way nicer looking.
That’s one of the best Devil cards I’ve seen.
I saw the Devil the same way you initially did. I love the optical illusion and this whole deck in general. Just ordered it on Etsy!

Going through the deck feel like walking in an outer space art gallery 🤣 Magnificent!
Somehow this reminds me of The Guardian Tarot, one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!
This deck has such great court card designs. I did a review of this on my channel as well and was so lost for words during it, just like you. It’s so special.
What a phenomenal deck WOW I am blown away like you! Thank you so much as a Starseed focused being this is perfection LOVE LOVE LOVE
Just ordered this deck 😍 so intriguing for sure and again thank you for your walkthrough

It’s an indie deck: quality music print run - get over it

It is so pretty. I would want a guidebook also
I love the pentacles suit in this deck!
This deck is gorgeous. I am so glad I backed it. The Cups in here is sooo beautiful.

beautiful colors, Lisa. thanks for sharing!!!!!
I had to back this when I saw it. Gorgeous!
I love this deck…( it’s a Lisa made me do it deck😸.) I was like you and looking for the guidebook. I am glad they have something online at least.
Hehe... Honestly, it feels so intuitive!!! I always *want* a guidebook... and the creator may be convinced to create one in the future! ;)
For sure it will be in my collection 😻 very Unique style love it! Thank you for sharing :)
The angelarium deck gives me that similar feeling of otherworldly beings. Curious how they would look together ✨
"The Devil" is in the details 😜
This deck is not my thing but I got to admit: it's soooo gorgeous and definitely very unique and special.
I think this deck is stunning! I’ve been thinking about a deck for mediumship and when I saw this one I was like this is it! I have to wait though and see if it goes mass.

This has my favorite of so many cards. Yeah I just bought this on Etsy!
I know you mentioned mythic mondays but is there other neon style decks? I feel there was but I can’t remember the name.

Curious to know what it looks like under a black light
Beautiful deck, technically not reversible backs, the colors around the eyeball (top yellow, bottom pink) but that shouldn't be very noticeable. And I think it's kind of a cool small detail.
I hope an oracle deck comes out like this 💚
Words are hard 😋💖 thanks for the fun video
I think there are two persons putting their hands on the forehead with grief in the five of sword!😮😮😮
YES OMG YES!
Haha you talk so fast in the beginning that I thought I had my youtube at 1,5 speed! lolll
ROFL pretty sure no one ups the speed on my videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but, funny enough, I WATCH YT at 2.0 most of the time LOL
Love the optical illusion factor. Too much yellow for me, however.
I want this so much!
I really love this deck, but the Five of Swords has been driving me crazy since I got it. Emma, share your wisdom behind your art, please~ 😩
Check out Jageun's comment above!! If you look at bottom left, there are two figures walking away head in hands... defeated!
The six of Pentacles, before I saw the figures in shadow, I saw it as me being the person without who needs charity.
I’m working with this deck this month, and watching you enjoy it so much has re-ignited my excitement about it.
This might be a weird thing to say but this looks like what I thought the fountain tarot would feel like,,,
It’s not for me. I would describe it as “creepy candy coloured galactic alien tarot”. But that’s the beauty of having so many tarot decks out there - there’s something for everyone. It’s not for me, but glad others love it.
A big no for me, but glad you like it ❤️.

I totally understand the frustration, here.
It’s a pretty deck. Bummer about the guidebook

…and on the devil card, the necklace is also a chain…
YES!

Loved this deck as soon as I opened the box. So gorgeous
Also I didn’t feel a need for a guidebook
