ALL MY DECKS: Collection & Declutter Series, Part 11

[@thehumblespinster]

I would really love a purgatory video. It would be great to listen to you go over your thoughts over your decks again

[@gingerblue]

okay now start all over again because I am obsessed with this series. Now I want to see your curated collection. And after that, start again. Thank you :)

[@allisondrake3040]

Yes please to the purgatory drawer video!!

[@lauriemadsen9051]

I would love to see how you use your "feel your chakra" cards! They are cool, but I don't know what I would actually do with them. A sample chakra reading video would be amazing!! Also, I'd love to see how you use your charms, e.g. a sample casting video would be so great! This also made me want to add "I'm Here" to my wishlist, but I'm wary of the creator, and it's expensive. I think my "roots to blooms" can function in a similar, self-care way.

[@cheriebits]

I actually ended up purchasing the Patrick Valenza playing cards thanks to this video! I didn't know they were a thing, and I love things that are a little bit different, so the fact that it's a playing card deck with art on all of the cards and not just the courts and possibly the aces is so much fun! I love the little phrases on the cards too, gonna play around with perhaps using it as an oracle! Always love seeing your videos! I would definitely enjoy a purgatory video, I think it would be a lot of fun to see what's currently there!

My copy of the I’m Here oracle has just been sitting on the shelf since it arrived, but I’ve paired it with the Rainbow Tarot for Pride month and I’m absolutely loving those two together.

[@RobbiesAdventure]

I’ve been using those two together for Pride Month as well. They are wonderful

[@joanb.]

I was using the I'm Here deck recently when I was in a trauma crisis and it was a good tool to help when I couldn't get back into my body without some help. I was so grateful I had this deck during my recent traumatic events. I will likely use it for journaling once I start PTSD therapy.

[@lbr88x30]

You could use hair elastics to around the tarot tiles in the bag to store them front to back in the bag, between uses.

[@skeingamepodcast5993]

The Wanderer's Tarot stalked me forEVER. And it's the same author as Wyrd Sisters, so I bought them both on the same day. I don't use them together but I do enjoy what both of them offer.

[@lbr88x30]

You can do a lot with the spread machine/crafter deck. It's great to pull a card as a "where's my blind spot?" It's also great to journal from or use the questions on the card for pulling tarot/oracle ~ like you do from guide books sometimes. 😊

[@Lisa_Papez]

Oh dangit. I might need to revisit it. lol

[@gawagai]

Who's in for a Hallow Quest support group? I would like to start my study in January! edit: Yes, Crowley thought out of geography direction and quadrants. Masa really knocked it out of the park in the guidebook.

[@jack-a-lopium]

Haha... funnily, whenever anybody talks about The Moonchild Tarot, I always think it's by Aleister Crowley; you know, 'cause that was the name of his novel. ZING!

[@gawagai]

@@jack-a-lopium YES! So cool to find a fellow Crowley nerd here!

[@jack-a-lopium]

That pip-style on the Patrick Valenza poker deck is called a 'transformation' deck, that style is super-rare so those decks always draw A LOT of interest. The Valenza deck is lovely, and I think it might also be OOP, so might be worth keeping.

[@hilarywesthoff]

I want to see you go through the pergatory drawer just to see your reaction to stuff that has been in there awhile.

[@TempestGetchell]

Omg the lovely sound the oghams make

[@paperstorycraft]

Keep witchlings. I’ve been thinking of picking it up too for workings. I’m so sad that Hayhouse cards do that for you. I hope they consider changing their cardstock. I also wonder if it’s the box. Since you keep most of your decks in bags and maybe that’s helping them more than boxes. I absolutely love those tiny casting runes that you want to purge. They are so cute.

[@Tdiva-Elly]

I hate warped,decks, I have a few by Rockpool!

[@TheScreamingElf]

You are sooooo lucky to have a copy of The Wisdom of the Callieach. The 2024 list is closed and hopefully she will have a 2025 one :)

[@autumnmaya]

The Creative Consciousness Oracle would be so lovely with you Unicorns Journey Tarot ❤❤❤

[@Lisa_Papez]

It would!!!!

[@tellbee654]

Hi Lisa.. I immediately checked out the ‘Old Ways Magick ‘ and the creator does appear to have single cards available on her site..I’m not sure if they are the same size as the original oracle deck but worth a look for you maybe?.plus there is the more expanded recent deck which I absolutely want. But I treated myself to ‘Roots and Wings’ this week as a reward for a difficult time and vowed ‘ no more expenditure’ for a while. I don’t think , however, I can resist the Old Ways as it is absolutely calling to me. Thankyou for yet another fascinating video.

[@BohemianRoseTarot]

Love the tiles tarot! Try fanning powder instead of corn starch and maybe a cotton bag instead of polyester? Might be a humidity thing :) those are SOOOO COOL :)

[@Lisa_Papez]

Fanning powder is a great idea! :D

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

💜💜 love your nails, darlin’.

[@theallisoncompendium]

I have had this warping happen just in the last couple of months with like three different mass market decks, all from different publishers. I think the most recent one was the Wild Unknown Tarot in a tin. It drives me bananas! Are companies moving to cheaper cardstock? Or less of a core? I definitely feel the more recent Fournier stock is thinner, but it doesn't get a weird twisty bow like this. Grrr.

[@AmbaJSepie]

Lisa, easiest way to learn the decans is by element - it goes Aries 1 Leo 2 Sag 3 - then for Leo, it goes Leo 1 Sag 2 Aries 3 - and so on….

[@thrivingselfcarerenee]

The I'm Here doesn't riffle right because of the gilding. It will riffle shuffle decently if you shuffle with the cards face up. It doesn't clump that way. For the Tarot tiles sticking together, you could store them in a box and then dump them in the bag to shuffle and pull them, then put them back in the box when you're done. I feel they would take less time than having to unstick them from each other every time you want to use them. Store the box(es) in the bag and it will be all together. Storage and Purgatory videos would be cool. 😊

[@Lisa_Papez]

I really thought about it - but having them in a box totally messes with the experience for me. I tried. LOL I swear I tried but if they're not all jumbled in a bag looking all yummy and ready to be drawn I'll reach for them even less.

[@thrivingselfcarerenee]

@@Lisa_Papez That makes a lot of sense. Gotta do what works for you. 🥰

[@gina4323]

Hi Lisa…After watching this video, I bought The Runic Odyssey Oracle which just arrived. I was just looking through the guidebook and, I don’t know if you know this, the animal correspondence for Hagalz is…(Mystic) White Unicorn!🤭 I had to share in case you hadn’t seen it!

[@Lisa_Papez]

WOAH! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@saltedmoon]

So funny while your were talking about pairing Old Ways Magick Oracle I was going to tell you how absolutely perfect it is with Tarot of the Hidden Realms. Then you paired it with Witch Sister! It’s perfection. I love the old Ways Magick and I think it’s worth buying the bigger deck if you find you use it a lot. The new cards are so beautiful!

[@dystopianxAM]

Odd as it sounds, I’ve used old ways Magick Oracle with dreaming way tarot and it works so well! I wasn’t expecting them to mesh so well, I’ll have to try hidden realm too (haven’t bought witch sister yet..I’m trying to declutter about 30 decks I’ve “outgrown” before I buy anymore atm lol)

[@saltedmoon]

@@dystopianxAM dreaming way is another of my favorite decks and I haven’t tried it. I’m definitely going to!

[@dystopianxAM]

@@saltedmoon I honestly like old ways Magick with dreaming way better than the dreaming way lenormand with it! It was surprising, and not a pair I even intended on trying but I had them both out and was like “well let’s see anyways”…ends up being one of my fave pairings ever. I’m super picky about pairing decks, I can’t deal with clashing aesthetics or clashing vibes/energy lol. I have other criteria that isn’t easily put into words but I don’t really know what it is lol. Cause some pairings that do fit those two criteria still end up falling flat for me, I’ve learned to not question it and just try everything cause I’ll just feel whether it works or not once they’re on the table. Side note…it’s getting harder and harder to resist witch sister. I listed 3 decks for sale yesterday though, so maybe I can bring one more in? 😂 I’m probably gonna do it, I know it’s going to be an instant favorite and I already LOVE hidden realm but something about witch sister just seems so much more visceral in a way that pulls me in!

[@galaxygirl9630]

“…short story long”, I can relate to that 😅😇😜

[@Lisa_Papez]

Literally how I live my life.

[@terriw6116]

I find the Tree of Life oracle to be SUCH a missed opportunity because the Majors would have been better if they included which sephirah the paths were connecting. I was soooo disappointed. Great video! 😊

[@coreyparson9906]

Woot! Love these videos!

[@TrioofWitchesTarot]

Old Ways Magick did not have a special expansion release. There was a period of time where you could order the new one for a little less. I recommend getting the new I one when you can.

[@Lisa_Papez]

Oh that makes me feel better! I really want the new one.

[@ladysmall9853]

Where did you get the little jar you keep the Witches runes in? I WANT ONE!😅

[@jinxminx55]

if you were going to pour the sawyer's path tarot tiles out and unstick them before you use them, couldn't you just store them in a box and use what would have been unsticking time to put them in a bag, and then back in the box when you're done? you could just transfer them to the bag to use but keep them in the box.

[@Lisa_Papez]

This is intensely sensible and yet I've tried putting them in a box and something about having them in the box made them seem not usable. It's not logical LOL it'd be less time consuming.... I'm an enigma.

[@marzaak11]

Don’t let go of the witchlings deck!!!😮

[@RobbiesAdventure]

I can’t stand Hay House card stock now. All my decks from them have that warp within days of light use or just sitting on the shelf. It’s a shame because it really deters me from really amazing decks and creators and I fee like the decks I do really love that I overlook the warp aren’t going to last long.

[@Lisa_Papez]

Yep. This is 100% where I sit. It's the point now where when I find out it's Hay House, I usually won't buy even if I think I like the deck, because I know I'm just going to get mad at the cardstock. I hope they change it someday because they produce beautiful things... it's just that dang warping issue.

[@lbr88x30]

I haven't been able to move past my neg experience with the I'm Here Kickstarter yet. The production quality is disappointing for an indie deck...so holding it reminds me that I'm Annoyed. 😂

[@taurusmoon8936]

Hey Lisa! Where do we find decks you decide to rehome? I love Patrick's stuff LOL

[@Lisa_Papez]

A couple times a year, I'll post my rehomes in my Supportive Tarot Facebook Group under a Tarot Trade Tuesday post. :) It's sporadic because rehoming is time consuming and I'm a busy , busy girl
