#DatingTheTarot2020

[@jeannefoxart]

I love the fountain tarot because it is so neutral. To me it is Switzerland, a safe haven that doesn't try to push me in any direction, or hit me over the head with its messages yet does not shy away from the tough stuff. It stated its case clearly and calmly and let's me decide. I love its objective voice and it's ability to calm things down when emotions are running high. Loved seeing your response to Candy's tag Simon.

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Loved this Simon. Thank you so much for taking part. ❤️ So many decks here are new to me the japaridze tarot I’ve not even heard of it looks so beautiful! I love that tarot noir deck too! So many beautiful beautiful decks. ❤️❤️

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome, thank you for creating such a fun tag! 😍

[@IntegrativeHealingwithSadhana]

This tag is not only fun, but it really gets you thinking. Thanks for sharing your "dates" 😊

[@meredithmonroe9723]

He does look like the kid from the MAD comics!! 😂😂😂. I can never unsee that now.

[@the_hermits_cave]

🤣

[@suegrant6608]

So many lovely choices simon, like you I love the druid craft and find I keep going back to it, love and blessings ❤🙏

[@nakitatillis2715]

I miss reading with my Druidcraft tarot. I forgot how beautiful it is. Time to go through my box and pull out my beloved decks I haven't used.

[@Beniffa]

Yey for the Shimmering veil, New Choice & Blushing fool!! Awesome decks 😎 ‘New Choice TDM’ is just one of the prettiest decks, it just gorgeous! I did get the last copy! I was so over the moon... I still am 😃💫 Can’t wait for Rosario Salerno’s ‘New deck!! My Druid Craft is the more muted colour version, which I love but I would like to find a copy of the more saturated colouring too! I think mine is even more muted than your muted one 🧐? 🤣 this was great Simon 😍

[@the_hermits_cave]

Wow! All these colour variations! Crazy! Glad you enjoyed it. I hope you are keeping well Ben 🙏🏼♥️

Such a fun Tarot Tag, loved seeing some of your decks! ❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@VintageMoon-]

Beautiful!!! Loved this!!!

[@elainecelticrootstarot3960]

This was so fun to watch Simon!! 🙌 I remember giving you the luminous void to look at so clearly!! I might have to keep mine, it is gorgeous, isn't it?! The shimmering veil is beautiful!! 😍 And I didn't know about the colour differences in the druid craft!! 😮 Well, I'm glad you have two different variations! And I'm so happy I have the New Choice TdM as well, the card stock is to die for!! 😂😍

[@the_hermits_cave]

Completely agree, best tarot card stock ever! Yes, I always associate Luminous Void with you! 😉

[@journalsandjuju]

I so enjoyed this, I feel the same way about my DruidCraft it's definitely my friend with benefits! So many great decks. Thanks for sharing :)

[@jenniferballswitchhouse37]

This was FUN!! A few we haven’t seen in awhile. ❤️

[@the_hermits_cave]

Yes, it was fun to do! It’s nice to dig out a few favourites

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Checking in with my uk friends today. Hope you are ok Simon after the 8 o’clock announcement. Sending love ❤️

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s been a tough day from start to finish sadly. The announcement tonight was the cherry on the top. Thanks for checking in lovely ☺️

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

@@the_hermits_cave sending love, I know you’ve had a lot on lately ❤️

[@quantquill]

I had the same reaction to Fountain Tarot as you. Cold. I'd heard of the Japaridze but never really *noticed* it until seeing it in this video, and wow, you used the word visceral - me, too. It's now on my wish list. Thank you for sharing all these wonderful memories!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s such a beautiful and deep deck

[@houseofhag]

This is such a fun tag and I've loved seeing your choices Simon 🤗 And I concur - Shimmering Veil is my deck of 2020 too 🙏

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s beautiful 😻

[@EmilysTarotandMagick]

I love this tag! So many wonderful decks. So interesting to hear your reflections on these. I haven't got the fountain tarot - I have had moments when I've thought I'd like it but then something puts me off. Not sure its for me right now but with tarot I've learnt I should never say never! 😊 Xx

[@nataliewinters6735]

I really enjoyed your responses to this VR, such a grat tag. I also loved The Shimmering Veil, i got it as a birthday gift, it's not like anything in my collection but surprised me with having such a powerful reading voice. I also never really felt The Fountain tarot - in that respect I refused to give it my number 😅

[@kyleliz7807]

The Fountain Tarot is my rebound date! When I first got it - in a trade too! -- I loved the key phrases in the guidebook, like "befriending grief" for the 5Cups. The images are very neutral and I've had to really look *into* them, I've noticed. The key phrases are perfect for that. Nevertheless, the Queen of Wands card has a cat 😊 I guess I feel like I need to project my own meanings into these images more than any other deck I have.

[@JensBalancedTarot]

This is a fun hashtag....it was great seeing your choices! I was not suprised by many of them. 😉

[@the_hermits_cave]

That’s because you know me well. Are you considering doing it? 😉

[@Karimsatta]

I fell in love with Le Tarot Noir!! I’m going to try to find it. Thank you!! 🌈🙏🏼

[@restingwitchfacetarot605]

I loved your picks! I did a video response to this! I totally want that Marseilles deck! Maybe they'll reprint it. T_T

[@the_hermits_cave]

He’s not planning on, due to working on his new deck

[@twisttheleaf]

The Tarot Noir deck makes your hands look bitty sized. 😂

[@the_hermits_cave]

Bitty?? That means something very different here 😆

[@TheAngelSchool]

Have you ever used The Fountain Tarot for a client reading? It works amazingly perfect for them. I thought I was going to chuck the Impressionist Tarot, but a year later I was guided to use in my daily draws for one week. It just clicked instantly. I've learned that they eventually will call you for the perfect opportunity.

[@the_hermits_cave]

No, I haven’t. Maybe I should give it a whirl

[@TheAngelSchool]

@@the_hermits_cave The deck is also like stepping into the watery dreamscapes or what it might be like beyond the veil of the High Priestess where the realm is full of light and solutions appear out the context of normal reality. It might reveal those possibilities. It's been a while since I've used it, but it just surprised me how easily it communicated answers for the clients job options and which would be the best one for her to choose.

[@gramatprieks]

Gorgeous choices Simon! Speaking about Druidcraft - so you know which printed version is with more natural colors? Which edition Elaine trimmed?

[@the_hermits_cave]

The one from the larger box 🙏🏼

[@gramatprieks]

@@the_hermits_cave thank you! Will take a look.. Not sure which box is in shops here where I live 🙂

[@chelle1256]

I own around 300 decks Simon many are indie and hands down I think The Shimmering Veil is my favourite the moment I opened it the love affair began.

[@the_hermits_cave]

It really is an instant connection isn’t it? 😍

[@chelle1256]

@@the_hermits_cave absolutely Simon I emailed Cilla as soon as it arrived in Australia to tell how much I loved it!

[@paganspaige1356]

I got the 1971 RWS because we are the same age .
