What an unusual deck! I can hear in your voice how the art truly appeals to you. As for me, the art feels a bit abstract. Perhaps even a bit geometric. My favorite card here is The High Priestess, re-named "The Wise Woman". I really enjoyed the re-naming of the cards. Like a tilting of a kaleidoscope. Also, The Empress, re-named "The Protectress". How beautiful she is! She suggests a classic gorgeous French woman that I imagine in my mind's eye. How interesting this little deck is. It captured me. I can see why you like it. Best to you, Monica.

Thank you so much Monica! I'm new to your channel and very happy I found you. Kickstarter is a rare thing for me, mostly because of postage. I'm in the States and it seems so many of my favorite decks are either from AU or Great Britain. Postage is so high right now. I'm also starting to look at the second hand market. It seems that my taste runs to those decks that are either older or OOP. LOL!! I'm an artist as well as a reader and I have been thinking about starting my own deck, however, the market is becoming so saturated and AI decks are becoming more and more prominent. Thank you again for your time, it's fun watching you. I also have the Sea Soul Journey and also gifted one to my daughter that is a real sea lover. They are so soft and calming.

Welcome and thank you for your message and thoughts 😊 I agree, postage is absolutely ridiculous, and as for AI, it's a travesty what it's spewing out (can't call it "creating", that would be insulting to artists). But I think so many people value genuine, hand drawn art. I actually only just watched artist Rima Staines launch her oracle deck on Indiegogo, and my eyes so love what they see, a hand drawn deck, with substance and meaning. That's the kind of thing I will back 100%. Don't let AI discourage you from pursuing your art ✨🎨💜

Hi Monica! 💛 Thank you for sharing another fantastic spread! I will definitely use it with my next new deck, and I can also see it as a check-in to learn about the current state of my relationship with a favorite deck -- or with a challenging deck, as you demonstrated here. And I'm happy that your reading turned out this way!! 🌈 In regard to the Ace of Thunder, maybe the deck is telling you that it is "limited" because it does not always provide instant clarity; that sometimes, you will need to sit with the cards for a while to allow your interpretations to surface. That it's not necessarily a deck you could use for quick readings; that you must take your time with this deck. Maybe?? (By the way, I don't see those things as limitations!!) ✨⏳💖

As an American (who has lived in New Zealand permanently for more than 20 years), I have watched the troubling events up there for the last few years. I feel like I'm standing in the 9 of Wands card. And I feel drained. Whew! I love the Oracle card: "Allow". How perfect it is. "May you soften into what is", it says. Oh yes indeed. May it be so. I feel a softening in my shoulders just in your presenting the card and reading its exhortation to us. Thank you!! Oh, and I miss Book Depository, too!

I'm NOT the person who put in this question for you to have a look at, but I'm happy to say I really enjoyed it. I like this deck! And your interpretations that accompanied each card just brought the art to life and also added so much to my own understanding of these cards. I particularly liked your pointing out that the "taking a break" message in the 4 of Swords is quite different than the "day dreamy notion" in the Page of Cups. My moon is Pisces, and I have Sun, Asc and Pluto in the 12th, so I can easily slip into a dreamy mode when I feel overwhelmed by something, even if it's only a sink full of dirty dishes that I don't really want to deal with. 😏 Actually, the 4 cards that came up for "what to do" and "what not to do" could easily be a daily meditation on the choices before me each day. I really liked the way these particular 4 came forward, and the way you brought them to life. Thank you, Monika! I hope your subscriber sees this, and takes in the encouragement from these cards, and from your beautiful interpretation of them.

Thank you so much for your great review and speaking to its quality and design. The upcoming WEISER Books edition has called it STARLORE Arcana, instead of "tarot." So when I was working with them, I agreed with your thoughts and why we changed it. I also combined cartomancy to make up for the fact that it isn't a full tarot deck. I worked very hard redesigning this deck and in writing the tarot/cartomancy interpretations for it too. About the mix-matched idea: as a creative writer and long-time tarot practitioner, I feel my interpretations in the accompanying STARLORE Guidebook match interestingly with the original John Lenthall cards with tarot associations inspired by the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition. That was my total aim and I write from an intuitive and poetic approach so I feel I was able to make those distinctions and connections. You did mention the book makes an attempt to tie in, so I appreciate that you said it holds value. I am glad you like some of the concept as an oracle, that is how I use it too! I appreciate your opinion and perspective and I will take that into account. The add-ons were just freebies as Kickstarter folks generally enjoy.
