Thank you for the video. I understand what people here are saying about new age stuff and raising vibration. I think it has to do with what people are defining under those words. For me, when I think raising vibration, what it means to me is being more grounded in yourself and increased empathy and understanding for self and others. And your experience starts to change. That has happened for me as I've worked on myself. Does it mean that I never have bad moments or days? Absolutely not. But my general perspective of myself and the world around me has improved and then I am able to show up better. That's what I understand when I see "raise vibration".

This will be my next tarot purchase! Such a beautiful, creative, and intentional deck. Thank you so much for the lovely walk through. I really enjoyed your commentary and energy!

Thank you 🙏🏽

Well I bought this deck awhile ago. Put it aside. Hadn't seen any reviews, but I was attracted by it's cultural significance in my life and thus, it entered my collection. Decided to take a closer look today then check reviews. As you pointed out I was snagged by the lush artwork and the concept. At first I didn't realize I had purchased an oracle because there are SO MANY CARDS and genres and themes. This deck has an identity crisis. But it seems to want to ride the wave of interest in "melanated" decks - which I love, but what offends me about this project is-the shabby research that doesn't serve the spiritual aspects of cannabis culture well. But it's useful. You can create many decks - enjoy. Do whatever it takes to hear your innermost. BTW your rant could apply to decks about any marginalized cultural practice from gluttony to terrorism- to me tarot is engaging real life through the metaphysics of imagery.

We need more decks like this

Such a beautiful deck and i enjoy the deck soo much great live

I love the book and the deck. I typed all the text from her website when I got the deck and made my own big book of it back then. The symbols described and the spreads for the majors are extra now. Thank you for the lovely video and happy late birthday wishes.

I’m totally sold on buying this book 😅😂❤ So I looked in the indie book. Lots of similarities. Some tarot spreads, questions for each card ( looks like there might be more questions in the indie book) extensive meaning as well as meanings from her social media for each card too ( social media with their own spin on the meaning) This book is 296 pages but half the height as that. The book you have looks like a great extension to this that I obviously NEED 😂❤ Thank you for the walk through. ( I’ll show you the indie version when we chat next 💗)

Wonderful video Martyn, really echoes my experience. I’m thoroughly enjoying and appreciating Light Seer’s for the first time after 3x having it and letting it go. This guidebook is such a gift! Thank you!

I'm really glad for you, my friend. It doesn't happen everyday to find this special connection with a deck. Enjoy it!

Love the light seers but mine is also on my shelf - thanks for sharing - it’s a beautiful book 📖💜

Happy Belated Birthday 🎂I hope it was Wonderful! Thank you so much for this review as i love The Light Seers Tarot but always felt i was missing something and here it is in this lovely book. Thanks again and many Blessings! 🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖

Love this interview! Scarab & Dahlia is one of my favorite decks of all time. Any editions and variations I’ll snap right up!

So funny. Because of this video, I just took out my edition of light seers that you gifted me, and I have to admit. I hated this deck, but to be honest: it’s so fuckin’ good, Martyn

What a lovely convo! ❤❤❤

Oh no, had come to peace with the fact that this deck wasn’t ever gonna be for me…. Maybe I’ll have to give it another go, would really love to use that book 🤓

Not only is this deck beautiful but it gives readings that have meaning to them. So glad to see your review on one of my favorite decks. I can’t wait to dive into my book 💖✨

I pre-ordered this book as well. It really opened my eyes about the deck and all of the work that went into it. The colors, the designs, and the thoughtfulness is amazing. Thank you for reviewing this book. It is wonderful. ❤

This looks good. I too have the deck but hardly ever use it, but I love looking at it. Maybe this book is for me. Thanks for showing it. 💖

oh my gosh I just pulled out my Light Seers deck about six weeks ago and fell totally in love with it again. I had no idea this book was even a thing. It feels like kismet! I am going to order it IMMEDIATELY.

Happy belated birthday 🎉 I love the light seers deck but as you do there was so many other decks to explore so this went on the shelf and not been out for months, after the review of this lovely book I’ve ordered it now and will be dusting the deck off and rekindle my love with this deck Thanks for the vid Martyn 😊

Thanks for reviewing the book 😊! I've been on/off about the deck for ages. I love the Muse Tarot as it's energy feels more introverted. LS feels very extroverted and relationship-heavy. But... now that there's a book I can use to scry into the head of the creator, I can move beyond my untangible feelings. I'm quite interested to find out what it is exactly about this deck that I feel both pulling me in and pushing me away. I wish there was also a similar GB for the Muse Tarot. I know the poems are online on a website but I'd love to have them on a physical book.

I’m the same - I got this book yesterday and I think it will rekindle the love I had for this deck especially this book explains why author decide to create the deck the way it was. I get it we can use it intuitively - but now it makes more sense with some cards - where I was thinking why she did this or that

Such a wonderful conversation, thank you Martyn & Joanna 🙏✨❤️

oh man, the search for the one deck. if i had kept all the decks i went through...💙

Odear i missed the live❤

I know it it’s late to reply but I really enjoyed Marion Webb-desisto’s ‘Crystal skull’s book ,it’s half stories and half workbook including exercises to cleanse and work with your skulls,guidance on choosing (or being chosen by🙂) a skull,meditations and healing exercises. I love crystals and collect them including quite a number of lovely skulls.

Thank you for interviewing Aminat and showing this deck in-depth. It is really wonderful to see this deck exists! I will be ordering it. I would like to say a bit about the topic of "appropriation" since folks have brought it up here even though it was not the focus. There is a difference between seeking help, getting guidance and using the medicine for healing from the sacred wisdom of a tradition that was birthed into the world by a specific ethnic group, than someone who wants to become initiated its secrets, then become "experts" and "teachers" of this... usually for their own financial gain. A true healer would never refuse anyone coming to them for help. That isn't an invitation to become immersed into the spiritual culture and then changing the face of it to fit their particular audience of clients.

I just ordered this deck, thank you for this amazing review, I can't wait to receive it 🤍

Beautiful

I love it had to purchase 😍

This deck has changed my life. I bought two. One for me and one as a Christmas gift for my daughter. I agree, Marty, on how gorgeous and thoughtfully executed this deck is. Thank you, Johanna, for your efforts and Marty for your meaningful walk through.

I have this deck and it's one of my favorites ,such a beautiful deck ,I enjoyed this video

Thank you so much, Martyn! What a beautiful walkthrough. I so appreciate all your kind words on the deck. I’m so happy that you love it. We are planning to do prints of some cards. I’ll have to send you a copy of that Lovers card. The horse from the 8 of Wands is the Flying Horse of Gansu. I believe it was found in a Chinese tomb. And I’m so glad you love the 6 of Cups! I think of my dad whenever I see it, because of the praying boy in his little suit. He looks just like old photos of my Irish Catholic dad when he was a boy. 😄

Beautiful! ❤

i can't wait to either but can't see the Amors oracle listed for sale too...

Watching the replay hello martyn and levi ,I enjoy your lives

WOW

Its such a beautiful deck. So happy to own a copy

Absolutely love the colours ... so vivid x

Some great artwork and beautiful presentation but I have to admit it doesn't quite work for me as a tarot deck unfortunately.

This is a beautiful deck. I love the bright colours, the warm reds and golds. It is stunning. 😍

Wonderful to hear your views Martyn. I am doing my interactive walkthrough of this deck tomorrow at noon in NYC. You are invited to join others in sharing their views live and interactively with me. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2XEgpWJebifhq8

Thanks for this review. I recently bought this deck and wholeheartedly agree that the cardstock is not a deal breaker in this instance! Great concept and guidebook! The companion workbook by Isha Lerner is also very good- bought that one also. Totally recommended! 🎉

So beautiful Martyn! Thank you for sharing your lovely altar space with us 🙏🏼💖

Oh Martyn your altar is so beautiful and so inspiring!! Thank you for sharing your sacred space with us!
