Oh, shiny! 🤩💫 Beautiful deck. I love the white space which invites the reader in to liminal space and contemplation. Thanks for sharing, Simon! 💌

[@breannelove7442]

Thank you Simon I like the simplicity and the light reflection. The backs and lovely coral edges are extremely pretty.

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s so beautiful to use 😍

[@SpiritofAvalon]

This one looks really beautiful, love the box, backs of the cards and the edges. I know their decks are such good quality too, thank you for another fab walkthrough my friend 😍❤️

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome, lovely ☺️

[@kaybrown7541]

Lovely cards, the pip cards are gorgeous. The moon and the hermit cards are my favourite.thanks Simon for sharing 😊

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

I passes on this deck but now....its so beautiful. Simon I don't think I've ever seen you show a Faery Fairy Faerie deck. If you have a few could you do a video on your Faerie Decks? Thanks for giving such a lovely video for my morning tea

[@LoriTriesLife]

So gorgeous, Simon. Stunning. I wonder how it reads. 🤔 You'll have to keep us updated as you work with it.

[@callalizzie]

That's a lovely deck. The coral edging, the gold/multicolor printing. I know nothing about alchemy and its symbols but it's just beautiful. Thanks, Simon!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s truly is a stunning deck 😍

[@FancyDress21]

Wow, this is right up my street, thank you for yet another detailed and amazing review 💗🙏

[@BlueCrescentTarot]

I have sound now! I had to go into a different video and then back into this one.

[@rifflinthemind.5793]

I will also say, that pip style is really good for anyone who wants to oractice a elemental/numerology approach to the minors, because the visual positions and shapes of those candles or talismans really gives you a lot of little details to draw on.

[@rickigill5206]

Looks like a beautiful deck

[@BlueCrescentTarot]

I'm so excited to receive mine! 😍💖💓💕 Thank you for sharing. 🤗🤗

[@the_hermits_cave]

Yaaay you are getting one. You’ll love it 😍

[@MarionKTarot]

I'm eagerly awaiting my kickstarter. It was lovely to see a walk-through. I'm thinking this can be my summer version and the Emerald and Amethyst my autumn/winter versions.

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

Im also edging the John Bauer Tarot and Into The Lonely Woods this morning. What a lovely pair these tow are

Waiting for my trinity bundle from the Kickstarter, as they’re being held up by one of the freebie rewards

[@LoriTriesLife]

I can't help thinking of of that bit on Harry Potter and the password to get into Gryffindor. "Furtuna Major"

[@the_hermits_cave]

I’ve not seen it 😝

[@rifflinthemind.5793]

I have the Soul Tarot by Kristin Fredheim, which is very, very similar art identical borders, creamy white cards in a rose petal finish , gold gilt images in this style and plain minimal titles and floral backs. I love it. Kristin does a soft pink, cannabis green and a black edition too.

Hi Rifflin! As the creator of the Fortuna Tarot Deck, I can totally appreciate the similarities between both decks and other well known decks in the market that use minimal line work for the depiction of the elements of their cards, however in my option both decks are completely different. The Fortuna Tarot focuses on the connection between astrology, tarot and alchemy, offering a modern twist to the theory of the decans and the court cards. This deck comes with a very detailed 200 pages guidebook packed with a lot of useful info. As an artist, it’s important to me my work is being differentiated within the market that’s why the suits of the cards is changed to fit into the theme of alchemy (candles, keys, elixirs, talismans). This colour combination is unlike anything I’ve seen in the market and I so believe my other decks to be. So while I can appreciate there might be similarities at first glance, I think both decks are completely different both in structure, depiction and essence and should be referred as so 🤍 much love, Maria x

[@rifflinthemind.5793]

@@mariapraena I honestly don't see much difference in the visuals and art, I watched this with my Soul Card deck and compared. Although I appreciate the system behind your deck varies (I too read with astrology and alchemical correspondences) and you've clearly put a great deal of care and skill into the system the deck uses. I wasn't implying that you copied Kristins deck, there are so many ways to create and use decks that it would take an awful lot to justify accusing any creator of lifting designs. You haven't done that. That said, I think people who use tarot are perfectly able to make their own judgments on what a deck is about and the uniqueness of it, as a creator all you can do is put it into the deck world for customers who want one. So I stand by my impression here, your deck visually resembles something that exists (both in style of line art and use of holographics and gilt, I can think of several decks right now that utilise those) and it's not disrespectful to you to say that.

[@mariapraena]

@@rifflinthemind.5793 oh I never saw it in a disrespectful way at all! But I’m lucky enough to exchange communication with other tarot deck creators who use the same style as my decks both being minimalistic and simple though I feel all creators deserve their work to be appreciated equally and individually 😊🤍

[@BlueCrescentTarot]

I was jussssst thinking about this one minute ago, and was off to check my emails.

[@cobwebsandcatnip]

It's working fine now. It's a bit odd innit?

[@toadstooltarot]

Very nice! I especially like the coloring on the backs and box. The fronts are a little pale for me. The lack of contrast makes it a bit difficult on my eyes. But it might just be the way it films.

[@toadstooltarot]

Elegant!

[@faallestan]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@BlueCrescentTarot]

No sound ...? Or I'm tired still and can't figure out my volume. 🤔

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s playing okay for me?

[@cobwebsandcatnip]

No sound? 😲

[@BlueCrescentTarot]

I went out and back in and now it works. So strange!

[@cobwebsandcatnip]

@@BlueCrescentTarot I'll try that thanks 👍

[@VerucaS9lt]

No sounds

[@BlueCrescentTarot]

It was silent for me at first too, but I went to a different video and then back to this one, and then it worked. ✨

[@TarotMilenio3]

Please, I beg you to activate the subtitles. If so, thank you very much!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s always activated. I just checked again.
