I absolutely love this deck! The colours, the vibrancy are amazing and I love how inclusive it is for the LGBTQ+ community. Although I am not part of that community, I do consider myself an ally for sure and am definitely going to get this deck. Fab walkthrough my friend 😍❤️
@@the_hermits_cave I just know I am going to enjoy it so much 🥰 I have ordered but have to wait for more stock. It was £14 though which is so good for this quality 😍❤️
You and Martyn tag-teaming me on this is unfair ;-) I will buy this one as soon as I have re-homed another deck (my Spring budget/space commitment). USGS standard is 2.75"x4.75" while this is advertised as a full 3"x5". PS: As someone who came out over 40 years ago, I understand hesitation over 'the Q word' but I reclaim it, as it is actually a more accurate term for me.
The colors of the deck remind me of the New Choice TDM deck and although I find the New Choice to be more aesthetically pleasing, this one has more body diversity. Love the deck, the multiple use of pinks and oranges. So many of the fashions, patterns and color choices have a late ‘60s vibe. I also love the great backing they gave it. Wouldn’t it have looked great if it had a holographic edging. The only criticism I might have is that the deck could have used a few more males and sometimes their fashion choices are so busy the figure depicted get lost in the background. (See the right figure in the devil card.)
@Arlene Witt, thank you for mentioning the "New Choice Tarot de Marseille" Tarot Deck in your comment. Lately, I keep finding Marseille-styled Tarot Decks that have been drawing me. I shall probably buy that deck, too, and no, I shall not blame you when I do (smile).
Love it. Some of the cards made me laugh. The flasher in the ten of disks. And what is that big cat all about in the two of cups 🤣. It looks like its unavailable on amazon just now but ill probably get this when its in stock again. Thanks Simon. Another great walkthrough x
I’m a bit late but my copy came last week and I love it! The colours are a delight and as you say the production quality is amazing. Although I don’t consider myself a member of the LGBTQ+ community so not best placed to comment it feels like an important deck in its inclusivity. I took it out with me to Costa today and it sparked a conversation with a really lovely woman at the next table. Thank you for putting us on to this deck 🌈💖🙏
@@the_hermits_cave thank you! It was the first time I’ve chatted tarot in person besides our online communities and the odd course I’ve done so was really nice.
I was actually going to mention the word ‘queer’ Simon. Like you, I still struggle with owning the word. And being the same age, I can relate to the same experiences.
Right? I mean I’m better with it, but there’s still that little jolt when I hear it. And, I don’t know how I’d react if someone said to me “Are you queer?” having been asked it in a derogatory manner many times during the 80s and 90s.
Hey Simon, you order a lot from overseas.. I've got 2 decks that hit London and haven't moved in weeks now..turns out they don't pay/charge the tax not informed of this prior...so my guess is customs but I'm getting no notice of these decks and royal mail's tracking stating they ""left"" the UK on or around the 13th.. why they would be leaving the UK I'm not sure as they came from USA 😳 not had to deal with this before.. seller's ain't interested to help other than stating it's not their issue.. I'm a bit stuck on what should happen or what I should do... Royal mail aren't responding to me.. Have you any advice about how I find out or contact customs...going round in circles online, thanks mala ❤️ this deck 🤣 love it.. though agree a few of my friends find the word queer triggering..
We are total Queer tarot deck enablers Simon! 🌈🙌🏻💕
🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely, this deck is for everyone and it’s wonderful that it celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and all those who consider themselves an ally 🙏🏼❤️

I’m getting mine today. I love it. I ordered it during Martyns video too. So glad it’s so lovely

The colours are stunning in this deck! Fronts and backs 😍

A deck for all people I love it’s vibrancy can’t wait to get it. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Agreed 💯
In our Dutch Amazon it is about €30
The guidebook though, the production, the spreads, the colours and the model overview. I love this deck 🌈.
Right!?!

@@the_hermits_cave oh yes. I feel the same about it too. It kind of makes me cringe 😬
Such a happy deck. I loved it.
Looks like the box of the Ask the witch tarot.
Oooh not familiar with that one. I’ll check it out.
@@the_hermits_cave that makes two of us!!

All I’ve experienced in the past is that whoever the courier service is responsible for the package whilst in transit, I’ve contacted them.
What a colourful, fun funky deck. I’m a straight woman but think this deck is cute and quirky. It’s psychedelic meets the 80s to me.
Agree 💯
This deck is georgous Simon. I also ordered mine after Martyn's videos . Unfortunately Amazon had sold out so I got mine from blackwells for £13.43 🤎
That’s a brilliant price! 😍
