[@MarleneTheresa]

Thank you so much for making these. I so appreciate your voice in this community and your vulnerability too. It’s valuable and helpful. 😊❤

[@ExploringTarot]

Thank you Marlene, that means so much to me!

Thanks for sharing Sandi ❤ I know I already said this to you in person but I will say it again here: it can be so tricky to keep our private lives private while also being authentic and transparant online, but sharing how we cope with hard times is so very valuable 🙌 So much of what you say about change resonates with me, and I can relate to the challenge of not losing myself in the process of trying to please others... Thank you for sharing your insights and how tarot is helping you be more aware and intentional in the process, as I'm sure it will help us all cope and feel less alone in our struggles ❤

The Wheel of the Year has carried me thru much of these past years trials. I don't know why exactly, maybe just recognizing the passing of time despite whatever it is I'm going thru. I hope it can bring you as much comfort as its brought me 💗

[@ExploringTarot]

Thank you Shanna! I have been really bad keeping up with the whole wheel of the year in the past, as well as keeping up with regular yearly traditions. But hoping I can establish more of a presence this coming year.

I’m also going through lessons in boundaries, identity, upheaval, self care etc. so I feel you on that front. Sending hugs ❤

[@ExploringTarot]

Wishing you all the best and lots of strength. Hugs to you too!

[@WildEarthWays]

Thank you for sharing your reflections. I like your slow tarot approach of lingering with a message as it unfolds, and how you spoke about your ambivalence because the process is complex. Sending you warm wishes for ease and wellbeing 💚

[@ExploringTarot]

Thank you so much for your well wishes.

(I haven’t finished watching yet so I might keep on commenting as I go) You bring so much wisdom and make me so calm when you talk About these things I feel seen. I’m not sure if that make sense, maybe it doesn’t.. but anyhow 🥲🦥 Am also T E R R I F I E D of change! I really loved what you said about following the seasons and the wheel of the year, nature is constantly changing and so are we. So I also want to invite more of that kind of practice and space. And to be more aware both of with what’s going on within and without. I really believe that could help us stay more present.

[@ExploringTarot]

Thank you so much Annie for your thoughtful comments. It is definitely a struggle keeping up with it all sometimes. I find it to be so difficult to get in touch with myself again, when did I even lose that connection to begin with? How does one know what one wants? hahah I might be overthinking things. I love what you said about the wheel of the year, how nature is always changing. I think I will try to make more videos around the wheel of the year perhaps. Thanks again for watching and interacting! I really appreciate it

I hope you will soon be free of "gloom and doom". The card is so cute. I like it a lot. I discovered your channel because of the Fairy Pack. I could not believe somebody made a review of it. I bought this deck years ago in a discount book shop. I stopped reading cards years ago too but I kept all my decks. I want to go back into it (slowly!) and I am looking for all my decks to put them all in the same place (it shows how organised I am, they should have been stored in the same place! Oh well lol). I am also in the process of decluttering (not the decks, I don't have tons of them unlike what I have seen on KZbin. I admit the profusion of tatot decks was a bit of a shock. I missed the "transition" from when reading cards was not so popular and now it became obviously very commercial). I had a difficult past year too. It is time to declutter and make a few changes. Easier said than done! Don't let certain type of people drag you down. They can be very good at it and also at making ohers feel guilty. All the best.

By the way, I love Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and I am surprised you did not mention Tori Amos that I love too ... and so many others, it would be an endless comment! 😶🤭

[@ExploringTarot]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! Ooh! The Fairy Pack! I love the artwork in that deck so much! Yes, I read as a teen, only had three decks ( two tarot, one oracle, the only ones I could get my hands on as a teen) Stopped for years and then, about 6 years ago now, I suddenly just found my way to it again. It is indeed easier said than done to start decluttering! I feel the need for it so desperately but the energy to do so just keeps eluding me. Oh yes! Tori Amos! I need to try and listen some more to her music again, it has been a long time since I did! Thank you for your encouraging words and for watching.
