AFFORDABLE TAROT DECKS?! (+ Oracle) | Mass Market Madness 8

[@TempestDra]

Succulents really love light. If they don't get enough, they tend to stretch out and get tall in order to seek it out - which can be a little tough when you go farther north (PNW checking in!). If you don't have a good, well-lit window, you can find small desk-lamp style grow lamps for individual plants. :)

[@Lisa_Papez]

Might need to give her a desk lamp light!

[@mixxling]

I always love seeing praise for the Fyodor Pavlov Tarot. I got it as soon as it came to mass market after falling in love with post-kickstarter images of it. It's so elegant and classical, but isn't stiff or emotionless the way so many "traditionally" styled decks are. And the diversity in it is beautiful! It's a top 5 deck for me even though I've not had it for that long, just because it's easy to read with and a joy to look at.

[@PAB1068]

Love the Stonehenge fabric!!!

[@wellappointedmystic]

Drop caps. That's what those "illuminated letters" are called. 🙂

[@Cedar.and.Sulfur]

You can absolutely trim your plant to keep it short. (I'm a cactus grower and have many succulents) They do need light and the growth you're seeing is what's called stretching. This means the plant is seeking light. Find a window or space that gets nice sun, but doesnt get too hot as succulents can get burned. Only water once the soil is completely dry to prevent rot and that way the plant wont split from over drinking.

[@Lisa_Papez]

Thank you!!! Sadly we don't get a lot of direct sunlight - it's living in the sunniest window we have which gets a few hours of morning sun when conditions are right LOL She might just be... stretchy!

[@Cedar.and.Sulfur]

@@Lisa_Papez you can repot the cutting!

[@rifflinthemind.5793]

Do you have one of those light lamps for people with S.A.D? I find them great for reviving plants (in very small doses.)

[@thewavesofyoursoul]

Ohh I’ve been debating the Fyodor Pavlov for so long because I wasn’t sure about the muted colour palette just like you said but you’re making me reconsider haha because I know we are both colour lovers 💗 I love seeing mass market decks getting hyped 🙌

[@Masculineintuitionreadings]

Say it louder for the people in the back, Lisa! Thinner cardstock doesn’t always equal bad quality. Most linen cardstock is built to last forever!

[@Lisa_Papez]

yesssssssss :D As long as it's on a good cored cardstock, it's meant to be *used*!

[@JennaZouros]

Hi Lisa, I love this series, I’m someone who independent decks are out of my price range, I live in Australia and shipping a deck to here is stupid expensive sometimes. I don’t have any Paulina Cassidy tarot decks, however I do have her Faerie Guidance Oracle which I absolutely love, it’s got some great self worth messages and it’s really gentle. The artwork is also pretty vivid, I think it would actually pair really well with the Phantasma tarot. I got the faerie guidance oracle about 10 years ago when I was first diagnosed with anxiety and depression and I was going through my eating disorder, and it’s been with me ever since, it was actually the first oracle deck I ever bought, I have used it when I need a boost, but I have also been using it when I’ve been working through stuff in therapy, it’s been really a really supportive deck.

[@nemiatarot497]

I love how you use the beautiful Woodland Wardens oracle as jumping board for tarot self exploration. The Pavlov Tarot looks very very tempting!!! It jumped on my list immediately.

[@Flip_Mouse]

I prefer the Paulina Tarot out of all Paulina Cassidy/Fae's decks, I just wish they would reissue it in the larger, borderless style like the Phantasma!!

[@lauriemadsen9051]

I love the way Paulina Fae does animals in "Spiritsong Tarot," but I don't get along with her fantastical people and creatures (even though I really like anthropomorphic decks). Woodland Wardens really is something special. I choose "Wisdom of Hafiz" over "Love Yourself", and I so appreciate how Hafiz has a verb/action to take for almost every card! If you haven't given them a close look, "Influence of Angels" and "Golden Tarot" are a couple of excellent mm decks, with clear RWS scenes but also scratching the itch for classic art, and they've both recently been released in linen (the guidebook for Influence of Angels is crazy good, btw). Surprised that some of your favorites haven't shown up in this series yet (This Might Hurt, Anna K, Tattoo Tarot, Witches Wisdom, Mystical Moments, Tarot of Light, Everyday Witch, When my Soul Whispered), but I assume you'll get to them. Thanks Lisa!

[@pilesofthings]

Yasssss I never see the botanical inspirations anywhere and it is my favourite and ONLY plant deck. It has so much; you can read the quote or the keywords or dive deeper with the bit of history in the guidebook, or the colour of the flower...there is SO MUCH. I mean I don't think I've featured it too much on my channel either...it seems to be one of those things that exists and it's so integrated in my life I never think to talk about it 🤦

[@marutakelers1856]

You're right : "An illuminated manuscript is a formally prepared document where the text is decorated with flourishes such as borders and miniature illustrations."

[@Lisa_Papez]

Phew! Thanks!

[@dianad7759]

And of course, I had to buy at least one deck from this video! Been wanting a botanical deck, so Botanical Inspirations has been ordered!😊

[@starandflurry]

I adore the Botanical Inspirations Deck. And it is just perfect for springtime. Love, love, love. Thank you for sharing this great selection of decks.And I remember watching you slowly fall in love with the Fyodor Pavlov Tarot during your walk though. That was a special video!

[@Lisa_Papez]

It definitely swept me off my feet!!

[@cindychin1111]

I 100% agree with how awesome the fyodor pavlov deck is. It is quickly becoming my hug deck, which I did not see coming at all.

[@steffymuze]

Really?!? Wow maybe I need to take another look at it. I can use one like that. Every one I thought would be, wasn't (looking at you Playful Heart!)

[@ale-xo3973]

First time seeing the Fyodor Pavlov deck and I'm totally obsessed, thank you for sharing omg!

[@sunshinedalton6236]

I love Woodland Wardens! Just got it a couple of weeks ago and so happy I did. Its a great daily card draw and I write the key words in my planner each day. I actually love the card stock. It is really had to find right though! It's out of stock with all the major retailers and most of the available copies I found were selling $5-10 or more over list price or were obviously fakes. Which makes me really sad. I finally found it in stock at a small shop out of West Virginia that sells a lot of Jessica's works and I'm so glad I did! I am going to need the Botanical inspirations deck next. 😅

[@MarleneTheresa]

I just ordered the Love Who You Are Oracle. I loved it from the live readings. ❤❤

[@Lisa_Papez]

It's SO GOOD!!!!!!

[@nickiecee1564]

Hey Lisa! Can you talk more about tarot journaling in another vid?

[@PAB1068]

Also, I'd love to see some videos of how you choose which oracle decks go best with which tarot decks. Thank you!

[@hannabagheera276]

Hello Lisa! Thanks for the video. I’ve been contemplating the Fyodor Pavlov deck for a while, it looks beautiful! I also love that spread from the questions of the Woodland Wardens. I will give it a try! ☺️

[@marutakelers1856]

The Botanical Inspirations, Phantasma Tarot, and Woodland Wardens are all on my wl. Have been for a while, lol

[@shinymarigold9782]

Of the five decks covered here, two are on my shelf, two are on my wishlist, and the fifth seems to be flirting with me (Phantasma Tarot sidling up to my wishlist like a femme fatale in a classic movie -- "hey baby, got a light?") So yes, whatever US Games is doing, they should probably keep doing it!

[@ToujoursPurSang]

I'm so surprised that you own the Fyodor Pavlov tarot! I was a journey for me to get the deck. I missed the Kickstarter by a few days. I preordered it once it came to mass market but when it came out deleted my preorder. That was such a frustrating time because I am so in love with this deck. I did get it, eventually. But now with how pretty it is I can't bring myself to use it, and I want to. It's just so pretty. I bought the tarot the Divine masculine recently as well which is my first indie deck and it's too pretty to use too! 😢

[@MysticalWisdom]

The Woodland Wardens was my 1st ever oracle deck. I love it so much! And I think I may buy the Love Who You Are deck. Those images were calling to me.

[@AmethystAscension]

Yes a have a couple of these. The Fyodor Pavlov Tarot and the Woodland Wardens and I love them both.

[@Lisa_Papez]

Yessss!!

[@Magickalmarketarts88]

Love all of them! Thanks so much for the vid!

[@alifefullofsimplicity]

Woodland Wardens is one of my all-time fave oracles! I love it so much and use it in a similar way to you! I really need to pick up the Fyodor Pavlov tarot! It's stunning!

[@crystalis79]

Phantasma was my first deck. I love it, and from what I can tell, it loves me too. :P lol There's enough detail to see new things every time you look at a card, but it's not overwhelming. It lends itself wel to intuitive reading. For me, the deck feels like a warm hug. It definitly has a special place in my collection. :) I'm so glad to see it in your list.

[@lauramayfair7887]

Great video, Lisa. Interestingly, I didn't connect with the Phantasma Tarot. And I'm a huge fan of Paulina Cassidy. My favorite of hers is the Paulina with Joie de Vivre a close second and the Spiritsong for my animal themed Tarot. It just goes to show how individual Tarot tastes are. US Games is producing excellent products these days. I'm not surprised they published so many decks featured here!

[@melissagerber7231]

True. I like Joie best,myself. Her artwork is beautiful, but, I find it very busy.

[@suegrant6608]

Thankyou for sharing this lisa, love the stonehenge fabric have visited the site many times a magical place 🤗💓

[@lostingothicmusic]

I may have to get the botanical inspirations too - it's come so close to me buying it so many times.

[@vanessag.4636]

Hi Lisa!!! Love and have some of these decks. I adore the Phantasma deck...I collect anything by Paulina as I resonate with her energy. I love Woodland Wardens, as well, and am desperately hoping we see more from Jessica Roux in the card decks...she has a very special touch. The questions in the guidebook are perfect and help expand the meaning of the reading especially those that are conflicted or confusing. I am fairly new to tarot, but I am learning so much from you and Peggy and Dawn Michelle and Dani and loads of other content creators you have mentioned. I learned my deck from you and Peggy and I felt that it was the most fun way to learn!!! I have books also, but you took the apprehension away and made it feel happier and less intimidating. Thank you both, so much!!! ❤❤❤

Where do you buy US games decks in Canada for retail price and free ship??? Amazon is not carrying them typically! I miss Book Depository!

[@Lisa_Papez]

I buy US games decks from local retailers (in person). Otherwise, I buy them from Amazon.com (US Amazon) but they're more expensive that way, usually.

[@katherinegallagher9081]

Love the Victorian Flowers Deck. First thought: A match for Antique Anatomy Tarot🤔 Then: ( Lisa) " and this is the Fyodor Pavlov Tarot Deck"😅 Now I'm thinking... Definitely a Match... Next stop Amazon😂😂. 💖🦄🐉

YESSS Looks great with Antique Anatomy and I haven't yet paired it with Fyodor - but I should!!!

Totally unrelated - I love your nails!! Are you wearing Sabertooth by Mooncat?

[@Lisa_Papez]

YES omg.... good eye!! I picked up Sabertooth, Rawr and Pangea from their recent dino collection (plus Raven and some matte topcoat) because I didn't have any matte polishes! :) Loving them so far! Haven't worn Pangea or Raven yet though. :D

[@anastasia1522]

I don't mean this in a negative way, I just don't get it: What's the point of having a picture on a card if there are also keywords or quotes? Do you read them differently than if there were only words on the card?

[@khan7459]

you could obviously just read the words. But you can also read the picture alone or the picture and the words in combination, complementing each other, giving a certain direction or spin to each other - you can try. Write 5 keywords on cards, then choose 5 random postcards or pictures, mix the keywords , give each to one picture , and try to make a connection for each pair. Then mix the keyword cards again, deal them to the pictures, and try to connect the different combinations. The same word should give you a slightly different meaning , depending on the image. Or at least it does for me. Maybe it is just working for very visual people.
