Back In My Day -

[@lovejoyy]

I’m a little older then you. The 80’s was turning grungy about midway through. I knew a lot of girls who were vampires. So many. A lot of goth. I listened to the Cure and David Bowie. By the end I was wearing a lot of vintage clothes. I’m still listening to all the music. I love this tag! Love the decks you chose.

[@johanna0131]

Me too. I was a big fan of the Clash and REM, and I loved the Cure as well. I did a lot of shopping at thrift stores too. It was a very eclectic decade.

[@lubkayoanidu7061]

I love the way you always tell a story and tie in your personal experience to your Tarot practice. You are really inspiring.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it!

[@AnnieDusk]

I was born right at the beginning of the 90s, and this was so much fun! I think it was a great decade and I wish I could have experienced it in more depth, cause I was so young back then. To this day I still find (and sometimes purchase) decks that my younger self would have adored, even if it's no longer my thing, but they do connect me to that old me so it's a great experience. Thanks for sharing 💖

[@cuppatea7258]

Gary Oldman. Great video, thank you!♥ I was born in 1980 and I so agree with you're analysis of the 90's.

[@Lisa_Papez]

Omg 90s yessssss

[@tspacefullstop4161]

Loved the movie - Singles...so captured the mood of the 90s for me...Pearl Jam, crushed on Matt Dillon, Soundgarden...perfection.

[@angelaschredl9245]

The 90s is also My decade, born in 79. I don't have the serpentfire deck but that's a real 90s deck for me. With its bright and crazy collages, playful light and so on. I was totally in Hip Hop Music and Rap, and I sewed my own bright and heavy patterned clothes. My Queer Tarot gives me this vibe, in the colors, in the clothes that are shown with these patterns and in the feeling of 'you can be everything that you want'. Also the next world tarot which tells you to stand up for your rights. I especially had that vibe in the 90s. Oh and I can remember I started to be interested in crystals and gemstones and mandalas became very popular.

[@heatherrosetarot]

I was born in 1979, so I was a preteen then teenager throughout the 90's. My favorite music is still from the 90' s too! The deck that I have that represents the 90's most is The Grunge Tarot.

[@jaimie1159]

Great decks and I love your descriptions of grunge music and how it was important to that time period. For me it was punk rock in the late seventies. And of course, metal. Good times.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It's so interesting to hear what music movement and decade speaks to everyone in that same way. Maybe there will be some other decade inspired tags to go around! :)

[@ModernMetaphysicae]

I miss the 90s! LOL The Hardy Tarot totally gives me those amazing fantasy art novel cover vibes - Wheel of Time basically LOL! The Ciro decks always remind me of the sateen printed shirts with fantastical dragons and things on them. You know I wore the crap out of those, absolutely. No shame. I may have to do this tag! This was fun! Im going to need Goth Dawn photos ASAP. Feel free to post them on your community page for public enjoyment, or send them to me on Glide. ♡

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Lol, I will have to see if any track any of those photos down. You should totally do this tag, I would love to see it! :)

[@johanna0131]

Great collection of decks for this tag! My husband and I just watched the movie “Singles” . We hadn’t watched it in years, and we got very sentimental about the mood and music of the 90’s.

[@M155ABYSS]

I just went and saw a nirvana cover band last night lol. Born in 80. This tag is timely. I think I’m having midlife crisis lol. The nineties were just so awesome. The Black Lily is very riot grrrrl to me. Very Tori Amos and Bikini Kill. I would put the Royo Dark tarot in this!

[@mysticrosetarot888]

Do you have any decks that were created in the 90's in your collection? If so, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts about these decks back then. Ciro Marchetti's "Gilded Tarot" was released in early 2000's and was my 2nd tarot deck that truly guided me through my 30's. I know this isn't the deck you showed in this video, but some of the younger readers/collectors think this deck is from the 90's. In the 90's, I was in my mid 20's and have a completely different experience of that genre. I'll be featuring a live discussion with three other tarot readers/collectors about Traditional and Contemporary tarot decks next week. I hope you can catch the discussion. Regardless, thank you for sharing your thoughts. 😊

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Hmm, I'd have to look to see if any of the decks I have were actually produced in the 90s, that is a great question! Your discussion sounds interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks! :)

[@GMarieWrites]

Huh - I wasn’t into grunge and don’t remember the 90s that way. I was in my 20s and entered my 30s, and for me it was the energy of office jobs and wearing my new matchy pantsuits and jewel tone colors.

[@GMarieWrites]

Also - I associate the 80s with angst - I think whenever you are a teenager there is an atmosphere of angst and moodiness.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Oh for sure, I think it's more the age than the decade that creates that angst... it's still very much alive in today's youth as well. :)

[@rickigill5206]

I was a bit Grunge too,my kids laugh at my pictures in overalls

[@BonnieDragonKat]

Oooooh I have the Vampire Deck on my phone.... shout out to The Fool's Dog. My halloween or dark writing deck. Your last deck screamed Sailor Moon to me.

[@CoffeeCupsTarot]

I loved this video! I really enjoyed hearing your stories and how each deck spoke to you.

[@johannasmk]

I was born in 1979 so this was a lot of fun and very relatable! Especially loved hearing you talk about grunge since that was (and still is :))) totally my thing, too! My own deck collection is severely lacking in the 90s vibe department, I need to fix that asap :D.

[@rickigill5206]

I was born in the 80s your the same age as my brother,I wore doc martens and baggy jeans to ,I like this first deck

[@lilyofthevalley9044]

Great video love your own spin on these decks! I am just a bit bit older than you Like 64 😂 and I just Purchased the Hardy Tarot and absolutely adore it! I also see the transferring Element in this deck, for me off course the change is in a different time of my life and year in the 90"s I was in my 20's great time to be a live ! Ohhh how cool!!!! that this deck is capable to Morph alongside with any age or time and speak so clearly Thank you , Colleen Hardy 💞

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I agree, it's a fantastic one! Still a favorite of mine today. :)

[@cosmic.creeper]

I love this tag, it was a lot of fun. As someone who also lived for, loved and never grew out of grunge, I especially loved that discussion and the deck choices 👌🏻🖤

[@rickigill5206]

Great video

[@kori4580]

You need to edge the Tarot of Vampyres in red or black :D

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

For sure! That's one of the first things I plan to do when I start my work with it. I'm thinking red. :)

[@dragorsi]

First comment after seeing the title! :D I NEED TO DO THIS XD was born in 82 so the 90s are my teenage years too haha and the perfect deck for this one is gonna come to me soon so I'll do something when it's here! :D

[@rickigill5206]

I was born 2 yrs after you ,I was a teen in the 1990s also

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Yes, please do! I'd love to see your choices for this tag! :)

[@lorrainetrotter4737]

The 80s were not excessive. I really hate that people that weren't really old enough to understand say that and even those who are try to make everyone believe that. But I did love your decks. All of them have a story and you tell your view of it well.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

That is true, but I think it really does depend also on where you were and what you experienced during that time. Like most things in life, it is subjective because what is excessive to one person may not be to another. :)

[@lorrainetrotter4737]

@@DawnMichelleTarot I also think some of it was seen that way because we were breaking norms. Like some of the younger generation today. I experienced sexual harassment before it had a legal term. And we fought it. I married in 1980 because it was what you did. In the late 80s I was divorced and lived with my bf because I saw no need to marry. In a lot of ways we were still fighting the old "rules" and I know the older generations had hard times with adjusting. I bought my first house in 84 at 13.5 % and other had it even higher. Not all was easy.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I agree I think it was such an important time! So many of the things we are still working on today as a society were kicked off during that time. Also, some fantastic music in the 80s too! 😀

[@lorrainetrotter4737]

@@DawnMichelleTarot Thank you for responding. I won't detail your wonderful Tarot channel further. Because I have to day the selections today vs what we had in the 90s is phenomenal. Have a wonderful day.

[@lovejoyy]

Was it Frank Langella?

[@DaraDione]

Thanks, that was fun! I’m nearly 20 years older than you so my experience of the 90s was quite different BUT you’ve inspired me to take a look at my decks through the lens of Phases of Life if not the decades per se since I flew through a ton of phases moving cross country multiple times, etc. 😂

[@morphinpink]

I love this tag! I was born in 1993 so my 90s memories are very much filled with pokemon and power rangers 😂 now i kind of want to get the friends tarot because I have a lot of memories of watching it with my aunt when I was little! The tarotwave tarot deserves a shot out in this tag too, I never see anyone talk about it but it's so good at capturing the vaporwave aesthetic and feel. I would also include Cardcaptor Sakura's Clow Cards, technically not tarot but definitely inspired by it and as a kid i had a physical copy of the cards and they felt magical asf to me hahaha my little witchy self was living her best magical girl life playing with those!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I haven't heard of those decks, I'll have to check them out. Thank you! :)

[@Majora_Arcana]

*me born in 1997* well, I guess this tag is out of reach for me xD

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

hehe still might be fun to see the decks that speak to the decade you were born. :)

[@Majora_Arcana]

@@DawnMichelleTarot Oh, yeah, seing it like that, I should give it a try !

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I would love to see if from the perspective of someone born in the decade, I think that would be so fun! 😀

[@Majora_Arcana]

@@DawnMichelleTarot I’ll try to see if I can think of any deck that makes me think of it then ! Thanks for the idea ! :D

[@dragorsi]

Erm. the 90s has the best music. Just saying! :D Great selection, already putting together my list XD

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

100% agree. :)
