Acquisition and Attrition, a tarot collection conversation...

I am just riffing here...

[@tarotgeektv]

This was so great. Kind of great timing. I totally know how this happens and thirty some years later I am needing to go through and clear things out. I know I don’t need another deck but I see something unique and there I am. What a great story and discussion. I also just love having access to decks that work in every situation.😊

Really enjoyed listening to this. I have made so many mistakes with purchasing to quickly. I stopped doing this a couple of years ago and felt so much better. However, in the last two months I have bought 3 decks but these are really helping on my health journey. I do need to look through my collection and pass on what I no longer need, make some space for change. Thank you for sharing 💜

[@tamipie]

Thank you Naomi. I also really go through stages. Feast and famine. 😄

You are so wise my friend. I am starting to feel the need to either reorganize or to start moving things out of my collection and perhaps a bit of both. Tarot and Oracle are my passion so I don't see that stopping anytime soon, however I need to make wiser choices with what I purchase and be more mindful. I absolutely love my collection though, and I'm so grateful that I have all these options with it. Great video! 😍😍😍

[@tamipie]

YES. We have a strength of connection in the world of cards. 🤗

I relate to almost every scenario/situation you presented. I’m currently in the mind of decluttering my collection down to fit a specific sized space. I don’t have the room for anything new to come in. I have decks that I know my time with is over. It’s now become a question of where to find them new homes or whatever since they are mass market. Great video! I lurk around on KZbin and don’t comment often, but I enjoy your content and perspective. 🙂

[@tamipie]

Carmilla, thank you so much for commenting. I often wonder how the subject will land, and your interest helps me keep going. So thank you. 😁

Oh I enjoyed this so much! It's almost a relief when you realize you're at a point of discernment when it comes to decks. I still bring in a few that "aren't my type" but *usually* I wind up liking them despite (or maybe because of) that.

[@tamipie]

YES. I am way more likely now, to give a deck a chance than I was... some favorites have come by surprise! 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

Thank you for this. This was so so so good. Yes. It's like you narrated my entire story of my tarot journey 😂 including the box of decks for $50 that had some unicorns and the vintage deck rabbit hole. I love having choices. Am I sometimes overwhelmed by my choices? Yup. But. I'm also the reader who brings about 25 decks (combined oracle and tarot) to the shop when I read. I read often with multiple decks for 30 minute readings and many times that last deck I put in my bag is the one my last client really needed that day. The seasonal thing. And the memories. Oh the memories. I often buy a deck from a shop when I travel and some of those have become fast favorites. There is a joy in collecting and using, or not, the decks that I have. There's a joy in re homing a deck or gifting one to someone. There's just joy in my collection. Thank you!!

[@tamipie]

I'm pretty sure I remember you talking about the box of decks! 🤭 We have more in common than we even suspect. Thank you for hanging around with me. I love your videos!💞

[@BohemianRoseTarot]

@@tamipie love yours, too! Thank you!

[@SparklingLotusInk]

Enjoyed this video tremendously. Knew I would, just from the title. You hit all my categories except: decks you collected because you knew they were pivotal to one of your fictional characters. Because they ARE.

[@tamipie]

OMG... I can't believe I missed that one. Hello Supernatural and Star Trek Tarot.... 🤗

[@SpiritofAvalon]

I really enjoyed this, it was so good. I would love to come across a box full of tarot decks 😆 great video 🥰💖

[@tamipie]

Thank you for watching Sandra! 🤗

[@jamieloom22]

Wow, you just described all the ups and downs of my tarot collecting journey. Thanks for articulating all these experiences as someone who has also been there and done that!

[@tamipie]

And here I go again! You are definitely an inspiration here! 🐈‍⬛

[@Amber.Catalyst]

I see you, hear you, and thoroughly appreciated your kind words of wisdom ❤much needed to be spoken about, I'm seeing many start to come to similar realizations. Love this for all ❤

[@tamipie]

As we do. 🤗

[@starandflurry]

Wait? You have a list?... 😳 I think (now know) I am currently failing at being a proper Tarot Deck collector. And I wouldn't even know where to begin at this point. 🤦🏻‍♀ Great video and I relate to it in every way. Tarot collecting can become a daisy chain wrapped around a rabbit hole on the deep edge of a very enticing abyss. The beautiful and the horrible all at once. And frankly, I wouldn't have it any other way. ❤

[@tamipie]

My lists are handwritten and epic... going back around 10 years... like a seven style serial killer! 🥸🔪 I have so much respect for the collectors who keep everything neatly on an app or Excel. I favor the Bic pen. 🖊

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

Yessss exactly it! You get it! xx

[@tamipie]

Lol, 🌹🏵🪷🌺🌻🌼🌷🪻⚘️🌱🪴🌴🌵🌾🌿🍀🍁🍃

[@annasmith6651]

Thank you for this. Your accepting and calm way of presenting made me feel less anxious about the overload of decks I have, many of which I would like to trade or sell but am too far away from most markets. Mostly I've given to charity stores but have a number that deserve a better re-homing practice. Riff away some more!

[@tamipie]

I am glad I could share my perspective, and that it helps to know you're not alone! 🤗

How’d ya know? 😜
