Take this or leave it but the way I work with Our Tarot is by asking the deck every morning 'whose energy should I harness today?' and pulling one card then reading the accompanying essay. I find this such an easy/low stress option for working with this deck.
Just wanted to say I fully support keeping decks for sentimental reasons. I have a few like that. Sometimes it just becomes that the memories contained in an object matter more than the object. And the object becomes like a portal to a different time. To me it's worth it to have a few of those portals around. You never know when you might just need to hold something and go backwards for a bit.
"I repurchased it, didn't I? DIDN'T I?!" 😂😂 So many of us have been there, Katey! I really enjoyed this and look forward to update videos on these decks in 2022 💜
I find your comments on the Gentle Tarot pretty interesting and was thinking about the types of animal or indigenous decks I'm drawn to. In every case they're animals and/or spirituality found in the Americas. I feel most connected to decks of western north America, such as Brady Tarot, Pacific Northwest Tarot, and Gentle Tarot, because that's where I live and have lived my entire life. I remember you talking about the Oriens tarot, which I think is one of the more beautiful animal decks I've seen, but there are a lot of animals in there that I don't really relate to, they seem more like plushies to me that a living breathing creature with a habitat and instinctive behaviors that I can recognize. So that's a deck I have only looked through and never read with. It's like it becomes a language I don't speak, and while there's a greater argument to be made for expanding our community and our world view, I think for me personally, it's more important to reserve most of that learning energy for indigenous people I'm still unfamiliar with, particularly in my own area, than to pour it into understanding animal correspondences from half-way around the globe. I suspect that a deck featuring animals from Wurrundjeri land would hit different for you than an Aleut or Iñupiat or Alaskan one. :)
I had the exact same experience with the Tarot Mucha…had it, used it a lot as a “workhorse” type easy reader deck, eventually just got kind of bored and found myself not reaching for it. I passed it along earlier this year. I fully admit that I did go 😱😱😱 when you brought out the Liminal! I totally understand that feeling of a deck just not “speaking” to you even though it feels like an overly woo concept…some artwork sparks something in my brain and some just doesn’t, no matter how much I might want it to. I sometimes see people say things like “you should be able to read tarot with a stack of index cards with the card names written on them” and sure, I COULD do that….but my connection with the artwork is an important part of the experience for me, and some artwork simply doesn’t connect for whatever reason 🤷♀️
I am currently going through my collection (nearly 100 now) and looking at what I did and didn't use this year. I am not wanting to get rid of much right now, but I definitely want to slow my roll bringing new stuff in cause as you say, if you're just reading for yourself, there's only so much tarot one person can read! I will be curious to see what you decide in the end for these decks.
i have "Our Tarot" and i absolutely LOVE it. It is so beautiful and so well done. I usually do not pull a card a day but i started it up again specifically for this deck I do it before bed, i pull one card, read and then take a few mins to journal about it. I love going through the deck like that. I thought about just starting from the Fool and pulling in order but i settled on random/card a day
😥Liminal Tarot! Ha I bought that deck after seeing the artwork on your channel. Instantly I knew I'd love it and I do! Beautiful deck. Maybe a seasonal deck? Like an old faithful friend who stops by every so often to cheer you up😁 (Same with the Monstarot - it's too original - I don't own it, but can see how it would be missed) I agree - a good unique guide book is worth the shelf space. That's just my 2 cents - Ha Good luck with your deck adventure. 🍀 I like this video idea... But my rarely used decks, I think, are just over used and we needed a vacation. I still love them and know I will reach for them again in cycles.
Ooooh there are so some surprises here!! I will be curious to see what you find as you work with these decks in the new year. ❤😊 I've only ever owned two of these: Our Tarot (the indie one) and Gentle Tarot. Our Tarot I bought as soon as I saw the Octavia Butler card; it's not a "frequent working" deck for me but I enjoy it for a daily draw / single card message. Gentle Tarot I absolutely love, but I do see how 'animals of North America' it is and how that wouldn't necessarily read clearly for someone from a totally different region -- you know I love animal decks but I had to study to get to know the animals of Australia in Laura Bowen's decks!
So interesting what you mentioned about the guidebook for the Mesquite Tarot -- I have found myself purchasing guidebooks rather than decks lately. I'll be interested in the point of view of the creator, but not necessarily the cards themselves. Three, so far. And I'm loving it! Luckily, these guidebooks have images of the cards, so I'm able to do a pretty in-depth study. Thank you for this thought-provoking video! ☺
Hey Katey, that was so mindful, thank you for taking us through your Process. it's a Journey right? In regards to "This Might Hurt"...i am american, so this is my deck. From the fool striding by the San Fran Bay Bridge, to the Queen of Pents on a vesper with a Jackalope, i see my self, my environment, and my story in this deck. As an australian, the "Next World Tarot" seems to really sing your song. i am loving this diversity of decks. something for everyone!
It's funny, your first deck is one I've gone BACK to. I realized it's kind of my only RWS deck and sometimes I just want that super straightforward symbolism. :) I'm realizing I don't use my oracle decks at all though and I'm eyeing them for a similar thing this year. Much as I love them I'm not sure they should keep taking space.
I agree about The Gentle Tarot, I backed it and thought I'd love it, but have hardly looked at it. I also got the Tyldwick Tarot and though it's something of a collector's item, I find the images hard to make out so never use it. I struggle with the Mary El--many cards are beautiful but some I find jarring so I almost never pull it out because of those few cards. But, should I get rid of them or put more effort into them?? Interested to see what you decide to do with these in 2022!
OMG Katey did you see that the Cosmic Cycles Tarot is going to have a second printing!?! I have been stalking the creators since you mentioned it in one of your videos and I was so happy that we'll have a chance to get one!! Thanks for letting me know about this deck because I never would have heard about it otherwise!
Get rid of the decks that make you feel less or bad or you don't resonate with. Build a new shelf for the ones that make you happy or smile. Work with them when moved too, but don't beat yourself up if you dy use them, but still love and appreciate.
I think you would regret getting rid of the Liminal Tarot. It is a collectable and years from now, whether you use it or not, it will bring you pleasure to take it out and look at it. And like you said, it would be hard to replace if you changed your mind about letting it go. I could see myself feeling that way and regretting it almost as soon as I let it go. And I'm a person who is pretty good at letting things go most of the time!
I feel the same way about This Might Hurt. When I grab it down and look at it, I appreciate what the creator has done.. but I rarely grab it. I think if I was reading for others more I would use this deck more often. But I have some favorites that I seem to use the most and others that get neglected a lot.
I decided I really only want decks that I love and use. So thank you. I love hearing your opinions abd ideas. And decks I dont use, I do think they deserve to be used. I hate seeing them sitting just, waiting for me to pick them up...
Great video! I’m inspired to do the same thing! The way I use Our Tarot is it is my deck for March, Women’s History Month. I usually pull one card a day, then leave that out of the deck so that I pull a different card each day. I do have the indie version which takes up much less space in my shelf. Several of these decks really really surprised me! Maybe the Liminal Tarot is a deck that’s just in your collection because you love it even if you don’t use. It’s pretty much impossible to replace as you mentioned. So I vote for you keeping it!!!!
I would never ever buy the Our Tarot. I can't even imagine reading a tarot deck with real people represented on the cards. On the other hand, I'm absolutely drawn to every animal deck I see. Isn't it fun how different people can be?
I love Monstarot SO much!!! I even ordered to smaller size that just came out. Every time I use it, I get the most accurate spot on readings! Even if it’s not the most positive readings it is the cutest images.
I am commenting while watching so I’ll edit this comment a lot 😆. I believe using decks is kind of a cycle process .. you will have decks that you won’t use for a year or two but will return to in certain life stages. I don’t think decks are meant to be used all at same times all times .. I mean we are complex and our connections to decks varies based on our mental, emotional and physical changes .. I don’t think you are at the parting ways step with Liminal tarot .. You will know when this deck is meant to leave or “finished” its purpose but I don’t see you there yet or maybe ever? I think the same goes for the monstarot .. if a deck gives you all those feelings.. you keep it. Maybe it’s a warm blanket or something that is comforting or speaking your inner child voice. Please take time before giving away your decks. It’s ok to keep decks that represent certain period of your life .. I think with most of these decks .. you need 1:1 time .. and just have a spa date .. go through the cards .. pick your favorites .. meditate with some .. have it open and spread the cards over your desk .. just allow its energy to exist in your space. So, do I do the same? I noticed that I sometimes bought decks that I was doubtful about but they usually are ones that give me a strong “I need to work with these decks” message. I actually just pulled “tarot of the magical forest” .. a deck I got because it was cheap and impulsively but never worked with since then. I trimmed and colour the edges and now it’s my favorite journaling tarot especially since I am working on some resurfacing childhood wounds. I do think that every deck have a purpose and if it made it to my collection, I should find it’s purpose before doing anything with it. I don’t resell my decks and that’s why I am mostly very specific with my collection. I also have decks that I outgrow .. I have one that I got when I was at a state of mind that I am not in anymore and I can see how that disconnect me from the deck. I plan to give it out but I also believe I will know when and the person meant to have it. This deck is the only one I feel strongly about as in I know I don’t want it in my collection any more.
For the Mesquite tarot, it’s SO gorgeous and it was on my wishlist. But I came to the conclusion that for me, a deck whose aesthetic I love doesn’t always equal a deck I can read well with.
Hi Katey.. I don't own the Mucha deck because.. I guess you Lso mean it is not "daring".. It is kind of a shy attempt to do an alternative to RWS, that it is cheesy enough to appeal some people but not different enough that scares those same people.. And as a result we have something which nobody is too passionate about. If the Mucha deck were a person.. We would say that it is a "people pleaser". Am I right?.
I love the tarot Mucha. When I fot mine (second hand) it smelled really nice, but idk why and it smells normal now :( I swear she told me I didn't need anymore decks besides her, and she may have gotten mad at me for buying more decks. Idk... I've only ever felt 2 decks were jealous types.
I have a little over a dozen tarot decks. I do a daily either 1 card or 3 cards. I will do readings for Sabbats or certain moon phases. I know you have so many decks and you don’t read for others anymore, Do you do a different deck every day or do you do multiple readings a day? Just curious.
Yeah ive been on the fence about getting the cheimonette. I really like some of the images but i dunno how it'll read.... I'm not a holy tarot master 😅😂
It's more of an intuitive reader for me. But the guide books is also excellent, so if you are stumped you often wind up with a great perspective from the LWB.
I too have the Monstarot and I never read with it. It feels, somehow, that the cartoon like characters would trivialise the reading. Nonetheless I love this deck and it lifts my spirit just to look at it. Surely this is reason enough to keep it? I know you love it too. Give it a hug and find a cosy corner for it.
Ahhh I have been pining over the Mesquite Tarot but have given up on owning it. It just isn't available. I hope it can earn its spot back on your shelf!!
I'm also questioning whether to hang onto the Mucha Tarot but I haven't really given it a fair shake yet so I should probably try using it more before I pass it on. I did sell my copy of the This Might Hurt Tarot. I was so so excited for it and then just didn't jive with it as well as I hoped. Also, the quality of the deck absolutely is great, but I find the edging uncomfortable to the touch. I did find her guidebook super helpful while I was a total newbie, but it's available to browse on her website, so that's wonderful. I also always debate on whether to keep my Star Seeker Tarot because a few things about the colours/textures in the images disappointed me, and I find the tactile experience of it very bleh. (So soft and yet sticky when trying to handle the entire deck.) But again I really enjoy the guidebook messages and the overall feeling of the deck so I'm actively trying to work with it more and give it a fair shot. After my experience with TMHT I was so hesitant to try another indie deck with expensive shipping lol. But I kept coming back to the Star Seeker listing and pining for it. Took my chance and I'm still not sure if it was right. Maybe it got too built up in my expectations.
I think Witches Wisdom will have to earn its space. I want to work with it, but I also want to study it first and there are others in the line for that which I can't wait to get to... much more than the WW. I tend to reach for the Green Witch instead, or the Wildwood. The Romantic Tarot has to earn its spot too. It's purely because of the fact I love Venice that I got it and I think I may have found a different deck which better fills the aesthetic want for me. Hmm. Also the Good Tarot. I do like the artwork and I love some of the majors dearly, but there are others...and the minors that I don't gel with particularly, so I don't use it. There are a couple of others that have just come into my collection that I'm not sure about, but they're so new and I haven't given them a chance yet, so I'll see!
I really took to heart your warning in the introduction that some of the decks mentioned in the list might surprise us and was tense throughout this video because I kept thinking "Please not the Bangtan tarot, please not the Bangtan tarot!!" Hahaha I was wondering if the Stella tarot would make an appearance as well, because just like the Mesquite tarot you'd given it away then gotten it back again. As for the Amethyst oracle, would you ever consider shuffling the oracle into the Idiosyncradeck tarot? I'm not sure if the cards are the same size, but if they are it might be a way to get some use out of the oracle if you'll definitely be using the tarot! It could give interesting readings that you couldn't get with another tarot deck. (I've been wanting to integrate my Maybe Lenormand into the Playing Marseille deck, both by Ryan Edward - once I purchase the Marseille haha)
What are you doing with decks you decide not to keep? All tarot decks are so expensive, don't you feel it's a waste to just get rid of them. And before you tell me you are selling them. I have listed on Ebay quote a few decks that I have double of, like the hush taro, Oracle of mystical moment, messenger Oracle, and I had no one interested in them...
Resellling mass market decks on ebay isn't a very good idea bc people can get them brand new for cheaper. But indie decks on ebay are easier to sell. Maybe you could bundle those decks and trade them on facebook? I know there are fb groups for selling and trading decks.
I usually sell my decks on Facebook marketplace if they're just not working out for me. I've had an oracle deck be listed for like 2 months with no bites, then all of a sudden 3 people are interested at once. Glad I left the listing up in the end! *Edited typo
Take this or leave it but the way I work with Our Tarot is by asking the deck every morning 'whose energy should I harness today?' and pulling one card then reading the accompanying essay. I find this such an easy/low stress option for working with this deck.
This is what I like to see... a reader that provides a personal reason why a deck is a dust collector for them.
Just wanted to say I fully support keeping decks for sentimental reasons. I have a few like that. Sometimes it just becomes that the memories contained in an object matter more than the object. And the object becomes like a portal to a different time. To me it's worth it to have a few of those portals around. You never know when you might just need to hold something and go backwards for a bit.
"I repurchased it, didn't I? DIDN'T I?!" 😂😂 So many of us have been there, Katey! I really enjoyed this and look forward to update videos on these decks in 2022 💜
I find your comments on the Gentle Tarot pretty interesting and was thinking about the types of animal or indigenous decks I'm drawn to. In every case they're animals and/or spirituality found in the Americas. I feel most connected to decks of western north America, such as Brady Tarot, Pacific Northwest Tarot, and Gentle Tarot, because that's where I live and have lived my entire life.
I remember you talking about the Oriens tarot, which I think is one of the more beautiful animal decks I've seen, but there are a lot of animals in there that I don't really relate to, they seem more like plushies to me that a living breathing creature with a habitat and instinctive behaviors that I can recognize. So that's a deck I have only looked through and never read with.
It's like it becomes a language I don't speak, and while there's a greater argument to be made for expanding our community and our world view, I think for me personally, it's more important to reserve most of that learning energy for indigenous people I'm still unfamiliar with, particularly in my own area, than to pour it into understanding animal correspondences from half-way around the globe.
I suspect that a deck featuring animals from Wurrundjeri land would hit different for you than an Aleut or Iñupiat or Alaskan one. :)

Thank you so much for being vulnerable and honest with us about your worries and brutal honesty in the decks and where you are at. Much appreciated!
I find it interesting to see what isn't resonating with people as much as what is!

Good brave choices. It’s hard to sort but it’s good for us. It shows we are growing and changing.
I have one Lenormand deck that I just cannot read but I can't call it a dust collector when it looks so good on display
Ooooh there are so some surprises here!!

Hey Katey, that was so mindful, thank you for taking us through your Process. it's a Journey right? In regards to "This Might Hurt"...i am american, so this is my deck.

As an australian, the "Next World Tarot" seems to really sing your song. i am loving this diversity of decks. something for everyone!
I diffinatly have to find a system to rotation through decks, to make sure I even work to establishment a connection with All of them.
It's funny, your first deck is one I've gone BACK to.

Omg the Mythic Tarot… my first tarot deck. I loved it so dearly and took it everywhere with me. Definitely hooked me in with the mythology aspect.
I agree about The Gentle Tarot, I backed it and thought I'd love it, but have hardly looked at it. I also got the Tyldwick Tarot and though it's something of a collector's item, I find the images hard to make out so never use it. I struggle with the Mary El--many cards are beautiful but some I find jarring so I almost never pull it out because of those few cards. But, should I get rid of them or put more effort into them?? Interested to see what you decide to do with these in 2022!

Star Spinner is one that needs to earn it's place on my shelf, Witches' Wisdom will probably go.
May I just say how cool your glasses are? They suit you so well too, Katey!
I really appreciated this framing of decks that you're on the fence about. I hope you come to some fruitful decisions! ✨
Get rid of the decks that make you feel less or bad or you don't resonate with. Build a new shelf for the ones that make you happy or smile. Work with them when moved too, but don't beat yourself up if you dy use them, but still love and appreciate.

I decided I really only want decks that I love and use. So thank you. I love hearing your opinions abd ideas. And decks I dont use, I do think they deserve to be used. I hate seeing them sitting just, waiting for me to pick them up...
Random thought but the art of the monstarot reminds me way too much of salad fingers 😭

gaaaah!! the little Monster? I have been waiting for someone to go to the US so that I can order it, because shipping to Asia is just too painful!
the deck with a made-up name you call it as you will, Im sure the creator just cares if we use it and appreciate it. @8:00
I was looking for the original mythic tarot for so long and once I got it I will never let it go...
I still have one from 1986 with the cloth and book somewhere that I never use. Go figure huh?
@@steffymuze I use mine, many not so often but definitely do.
I love Monstarot SO much!!! I even ordered to smaller size that just came out. Every time I use it, I get the most accurate spot on readings! Even if it’s not the most positive readings it is the cutest images.
Katey, I wish you would caption your videos. I'd enjoy watching them more often.
I have the My Garden Deck and I find that I really like taking it out into the garden in the summer, but I don't use it a huge amount outside of that.
I am commenting while watching so I’ll edit this comment a lot 😆.

Also, the quality of the deck absolutely is great, but I find the edging uncomfortable to the touch. I did find her guidebook super helpful while I was a total newbie, but it's available to browse on her website, so that's wonderful.
I also always debate on whether to keep my Star Seeker Tarot because a few things about the colours/textures in the images disappointed me, and I find the tactile experience of it very bleh. (So soft and yet sticky when trying to handle the entire deck.) But again I really enjoy the guidebook messages and the overall feeling of the deck so I'm actively trying to work with it more and give it a fair shot. After my experience with TMHT I was so hesitant to try another indie deck with expensive shipping lol. But I kept coming back to the Star Seeker listing and pining for it. Took my chance and I'm still not sure if it was right. Maybe it got too built up in my expectations.
I think Witches Wisdom will have to earn its space. I want to work with it, but I also want to study it first and there are others in the line for that which I can't wait to get to... much more than the WW. I tend to reach for the Green Witch instead, or the Wildwood. The Romantic Tarot has to earn its spot too. It's purely because of the fact I love Venice that I got it and I think I may have found a different deck which better fills the aesthetic want for me. Hmm. Also the Good Tarot. I do like the artwork and I love some of the majors dearly, but there are others...and the minors that I don't gel with particularly, so I don't use it. There are a couple of others that have just come into my collection that I'm not sure about, but they're so new and I haven't given them a chance yet, so I'll see!
I really took to heart your warning in the introduction that some of the decks mentioned in the list might surprise us and was tense throughout this video because I kept thinking "Please not the Bangtan tarot, please not the Bangtan tarot!!" Hahaha I was wondering if the Stella tarot would make an appearance as well, because just like the Mesquite tarot you'd given it away then gotten it back again.
As for the Amethyst oracle, would you ever consider shuffling the oracle into the Idiosyncradeck tarot? I'm not sure if the cards are the same size, but if they are it might be a way to get some use out of the oracle if you'll definitely be using the tarot! It could give interesting readings that you couldn't get with another tarot deck. (I've been wanting to integrate my Maybe Lenormand into the Playing Marseille deck, both by Ryan Edward - once I purchase the Marseille haha)
ohhhh no not the monstarot.......hope you find a new love for it. ....Terri

"Cheimonette" is french, the prononciation is : [ ʃemɔnɛt ]
I need it 🥰
Maybe, if people stop buying so many deck, they can use what they already have a bit more.
What are you doing with decks you decide not to keep? All tarot decks are so expensive, don't you feel it's a waste to just get rid of them. And before you tell me you are selling them. I have listed on Ebay quote a few decks that I have double of, like the hush taro, Oracle of mystical moment, messenger Oracle, and I had no one interested in them...
Resellling mass market decks on ebay isn't a very good idea bc people can get them brand new for cheaper. But indie decks on ebay are easier to sell. Maybe you could bundle those decks and trade them on facebook? I know there are fb groups for selling and trading decks.
I usually sell my decks on Facebook marketplace if they're just not working out for me. I've had an oracle deck be listed for like 2 months with no bites, then all of a sudden 3 people are interested at once. Glad I left the listing up in the end!

If you don't use it, lose it! 😉
