Maybe a stupid question but how do I know if my decks are plastic? I have the U.S. Games Thoth and the Albano-Waite which are glossy.

@@alakina_s oh, it’s not a stupid question at all, as many decks have heavy lamination but are not plastic. Usually ‘plastic’ is specified in the listing of the deck. Here’s the example of the Plastic RWS by USGames. I hope it helps. www.usgamesinc.com/the-100-plastic-rider-waite-tarot.html

It might be only the camera but to me it looks like the usual light blues (like in the Payen) in the pips and on beards and such are more greyish in colour? It would be very nice with a comparison 😊

@@alakina_s thank you for stopping by! 🙏💛 Yes. It maybe the light, but the violets/purples in this tarot are different from the rich blues of the Payen 1743. In the next two weeks I’ll make a comparison video. Hopefully it will be easier to see the difference then. 😊

It’s already 2025 here in Australia! ✨🎉✨ This Éliphas Lévi’s Personal Deck is packed with so many scribbles. I forgot to mention in the video that he linked the Queens to 4 Virtues and the Kings to the 4 Greek Gods.

After a little observation and digging, the first twenty-two trumps are zero through twenty-one, then Lévi begins with the King of Wands as 22, King of Cups as 23, King of Swords as 24, King of Coins as 25. He then continues the sequence with the Queens as 26 through 29 in the same suit rotation. This should continue for each in this order from King through Ace. Oddly, this does conclude the series with the Ace of Coins being 77, the last card in a 78 card deck because he keeps the Fool as Zero.
