Carte Postale Tarot Unboxing and First Impressions Walkthrough. *SPOILER ALERT*…Its Stunning!

This is an unboxing and first impressions walkthrough of the Carte Postale Tarot. This is a deck utilizing photos, postcards, and art from the Victorian and Edwardian eras…all my favorite things! In this video, you will get a good look at the cards and I also share some oracle deck pairings. Stay tuned to the end and I will discuss cost and the differences between the two versions that are available of this deck. The deck shown here in this video has a print run of only 500 copies…once it’s gone, it’s gone! If you like this genre of deck, I would jump on it!
As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to watch this video and spending some time with me!

Hi Bonnie🧜🏻 I am so happy I found your channel! I stumbled across it while looking up flip throughs of the Bianco Nero. Your name caught my eye (I love it! 🥰 and mermaids!) I finally found someone with the same exact aesthetic and energy as me! I LOVE all old fashioned decks, or decks with photos or paintings reminiscent of a different time. Nothing beats the soft wisdom of historical decks in my eyes. You and Cherry Enchantress are my go-tos for aesthetics and comfort! Your voice and way of speaking is so soothing to me, like a big maternal hug. "Everything is going to be okay." is what your energy makes me feel.🥰🧜🏻🧚🏻‍♀🦄🦋 All of this to say, I am so happy I found your channel! New subbie and excited watcher here!! 🕊💞

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Your kind remarks have made my day, thank you 🙏! I’m so glad you found me. Old art/photo decks are my go-to year round, but I find their energy particularly potent this time of year, especially for ancestor and shadow work. Oh, I have Cherry Enchantress’s deck…it’s a good one!

[@kristarrahlee3595]

First, thank you for the presentation of this beautiful deck. I like how you presented the walkthrough with music and editing to show each card without the hands actually flipping through them. I have never seen anyone else do this, and it's fantastic! I have ordered this deck and cannot wait to receive it. It's one of those that I just feel an immediate connection to. I appreciate all of the comparative decks presented as well.

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Thank you so much for your kind words 🙏! I like to give the viewer a chance to immerse themselves in the deck by itself first before there is any commentary from me. I spend hours trying to find the perfect musical selections that fit the personality of a deck, so I’m very grateful when someone appreciates it. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and to comment. The Carte Postale Tarot is a very special deck indeed 🥰

[@kristarrahlee3595]

@@oldsoulmermaid1543 You are most welcome. I think you definitely achieved your goal, and I have subscribed to see more. Have a wonderful and beautifully blessed new year.

[@rickigill5206]

I just purchased the secrets of wand wood ,my first out of the us purchase and I'm finally purchasing oak,ash and Thorne tarot this week ,it's been on my list to get for a very long time

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Oak, Ash, and Thorne has been on my wishlist for a long time!

[@Devoted_Divination]

After watching 3 cards into your review, I stopped so I could order this deck. wow!!! These cards are absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait. thank you 😊 💓

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Thank you so much for watching! The deck is even more beautiful in person…I don’t think my video did the deck justice 😉

[@nahannilove]

Beautiful and helpful video ~ as always! Luckily have this deck arriving in a few days (so excited for it) and am really into this genre for some reason lately. Maybe that 🍂 fall is around the corner and I have been feeling drawn towards my moodier 🌚 decks. These images speak to me also as you imagine the relationship to reveal itself. Very nice pairings you suggested, I was thinking also the Tyldwick and the Augenblick maybe even The Archeo by Nick Bantock. I am definitely going to look into Divine Muses so thank you. Have a beautiful season ahead.. 🪶

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Thank you so much! I use this genre of deck year round, but I especially find their energy so potent this time of year, particularly for ancestor and shadow work. Oh the Augenblick and Tyldwick would be wonderful pairings!

[@Peekaboorose]

A beautiful deck! Love the coloration. It's very you 💜 Thanks for sharing!

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Juli, this is soooo me! Now I don’t have to buy any more decks 😉

[@divine-interventioninfamou2521]

This is a lovely deck so I'll definitely be checking it out now. Ooh an I'd love to hear about the names you picked for your decks 😄 I have a hard time remembering their actual names let alone trying to remember ones I make up for them as well lol x

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

I forget the real names of many of my decks or confuse them with one another, that’s why I find it easier to come up with my own 😉

[@angelaschredl9245]

Beautiful deck🤩 I got mine in Juli. Have it constantly out since then. I don't mind the lack of diversity in this deck, because of the "old" topic. In modern decks I love to have diversity though. I really don't care about cardstock, but this deck is wonderful when holding in the hands. And it has some of my absolute favorites in it. Please tell us about the names of the decks 😉

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

I feel the same way about this genre of deck…it’s an added plus if some diversity is in this genre of deck, but I know not to expect it. Modern decks, on the other hand, it’s a must have! I will do a video featuring my decks with their names 😉

[@steffymuze]

It's beautiful and I love the process of how it came together. It's not my style, at least right now, but I appreciate the passion and her work behind it nonetheless 👏😊

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

What’s the genre of deck that you have a weakness for? I think we all have our weakness genre of deck that we collect multiples of even though they have similarities 😉

[@steffymuze]

@@oldsoulmermaid1543 very true! lately it seems to be collage (and too many😋) and art-type decks or ones without people entirely 🤔

[@AntoinetteTarot]

I love this deck, but it is very similar to the relative tarot in my collection. I want it simply because of my heritage being half Estonian.

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

You know, I’m very curious to see if I reach for it over my well loved Relative Tarot and Antiquarian Tarot decks. Right now I’ll be working with it because it’s new, but it is soooo beautiful that I can’t stop looking at it 😁. Time will tell. My best friend in middle school was from Estonia. She moved back to Europe before High School graduation and we soon lost touch (no social media back then), but I’ve always wondered what happened to her and where she ended up. I haven’t been able to locate her on Social Media.

[@rickigill5206]

This deck looks gorgeous

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

It is! I don’t think my video does the deck justice!

[@minglin7214]

Yes!!! But still on the fence…

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

It’s hard to straddle the proverbial tarot deck fence 😆

[@Lisa_Papez]

This one is SO YOU and I'm so very glad you scooped it up! :) I ended up having a chance to check it out in person and fell in love! I love the little symbols the creator added!

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

I’m can’t stop looking T this deck! I’m wondering where it will fall with my other two well established favorites The Relative Tarot and the Antiquarian Tarot. I’m really tempted to get the handmade version of this deck!

[@heathernewman1820]

So happy to have this one and I loved your pairing suggestions. There were a couple I just didn't think of off the top of my head that I want to try now. God, the hand made one sounds so tempting.

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

It’s kind of in its own class, isn’t it? I know the handmade one would be an heirloom for sure!

[@CarriedAwayWithDolls]

I collect tin type photos so this is right up my alley! 🖤🖤🖤

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Oh, I hear you! I love going through baskets and tins of old photos in antique and curiosity shops!

[@VintageMoon-]

I’m in love with this deck😍 So many Oracles do pair with it but my favorite that I’ve been using is The Southern Botanic Oracle by Stacey Williams-Ng (Also Oracle of the Roses by Cheralyn Darcey) I haven’t put this one away since I received)

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Ooo…I’m not familiar with the Southern Botantic Oracle (I’m going to check it out!), but the Oracle of Roses is on my wishlist 😉

[@1976mcfarlane]

I want this deck but it appears that something has happened to the Creator.

[@oldsoulmermaid1543]

Oh, no! I recently went to her site because I’m contemplating getting another copy of the deck and the site was still up. What information do you have on the creator?

[@1976mcfarlane]

@@oldsoulmermaid1543 for probably the last year anybody that ordered never received and had to dispute with PayPal to get money back. Many of us have reached out with emails and messages and no reply at all. She was known to be very responsive and fast with communication so this is unusual I hear. Sadly ,we suspect something has happened. Not sure but seems like it.

[@1976mcfarlane]

@@oldsoulmermaid1543 I just sent another message to see if I get a reply. Every few months I reach out just to see. Another strange thing was I noticed she wasn't interacting on social media either. Total silence
