Golden Art Nouveau Tarot and a special appearance from Krampus!

[@mikechrist2913]

I love how happy the card and gift made you, a lot of thought clearly went into them. Made me chuckle at how the Krampus was just there casually chilling, watching the unboxing of the beautiful tarot cards.

[@user-rz2bw5ej5s]

I agree upon the fact that your presence in the world makes it a better place. That is a lovely and true thing to say about you, dear dear Simon. I love you

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you 🙏🏼 😍

[@carolyndellen3453]

Your friend is right, you have a kind soul. I like to watch your channel, it's like hanging out at a friends house. Even though I miss most live streams, I still enjoy all of the Tarot info and stories about your family. ❤ Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Pennsylvania, USA. 😊

[@robbiecrafter]

I was amazed when I got this in my Witches Moon box. I spent over an hour just going over and over this deck. It is really the first RWS that has prompted so much emotion from me. It is memorizing. I am so glad that you like it.

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s so beautiful and well done 🙏🏼

[@1888starz]

Thanks for sharing this deck which is truly beautiful in all its artwork and added shimmer. I love art nouveau and this tarot deck is one of the most stunning I've seen. Your commentary on individual cards was spot on, you said what I thought. But your way of explaining was done so honestly and sincere. I seem to always be attracted to The Hermit and this deck has the best one. A new subbie here.

[@twisttheleaf]

I am so glad that I could help brighten your day and give you a smile when things are feeling rough. I thought it was a perfect gift for you. :) I hope you get your holiday chaos sorted out soon and the rest of those gifts show up! Re: The deck! I am so amazed at how much I connected with the artwork and especially the faces in this deck. It's so... amazing. And I agree about the quality with the camera too. It's terrific And aren't the backs amazing?

[@twisttheleaf]

Oh! Hey! And be sure to let me know when you get glide working again!

[@the_hermits_cave]

I sure will, thank you again my friend. I was gonna wait until Christmas, but really needed the lift yesterday, which it most certainly provided 🙏🏼😍

[@VLoveCrystals]

STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fortune_roses]

So pretty and glittery :) especially the blue and gold ones

[@catbookfashion]

Here's to better days, Simon. Merry and Happy! You are wonderful and soothing .

[@Eagle11120]

This is currently my favorite deck. Stunning! Love, love, love.

[@nancy-acronesintuition4614]

I was thrilled to get this deck in my December Witches Moon box! Great walk through, Simon.

[@toadstooltarot]

Simon, so glad you like this deck. I didn't think it would be a style to your taste. When I first saw it, I wondered, despite my love of art nouveau, if it might be too gaudy for me, as I said in my review a few weeks back, like glitter on sequins on rhinestones. When I saw Dustin do a review of the Tarot Black & Gold edition and saw that this deck was priced $12 cheaper I was puzzled by that, but, made up my mind to get it. I love the autumn color palette, and deck in hand don't find it too blingy after all, but just a delight for the holidays. I love a bit of ornament around the holidays. I still think it makes a perfect holiday gift. The illustrations I like better than the Tarot Mucha (with which I found disappointment) and think that I'd love it even if it came without the gold bling because they are so beautifully done. And, like you I, love The Hermit card, particularly for its depiction with snow! It is a treat to see the dramatic, almost Sarah Bernhardt-ish theatrical closeups of a very good representation of the RWS imagery. I think I"m OK with the borders, but wonder if it'd been even better in a borderless edition. So much for all my rambling thoughts and notations.

[@the_hermits_cave]

I must have missed your walk-through on that one Robin, for some reason! Unless I have commented on it and then just put it out of my mind? I was so surprised by just how much I connected with these images when I saw Dan show them. Definitely a deck I’ll be using over the Christmas period 🙏🏼

[@suegrant6608]

So sorry to hear about all the stress you've had, I agree you are a lovely soul and give us all much pleasure watching your channel. Love the golden art nouveau I agree love the artwork hope all your problems get sorted out so you can start enjoying the festive season many blessings🎄🎉😘

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you lovely. Happy holidays 🙏🏼♥️

[@kim-moonwhisper135]

Love Krampus! I started a tradition of getting a picture with him , instead of Santa. Beautiful deck. Wishing you a good resolution to the problems weighing heavy in your life at this time!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thanks lovely. Have a great holiday 🙏🏼♥️

[@DashaDank]

Wow, have seen this deck at my local shop - and had NO idea how gorgeous it was!!! I’m running out and getting it ASAP. Thank you so much for your reviews and the work you put into your channel! I trust your reviews the best! Lots of Love 💕 Happy Solstice 🌞& Holidays! 🎄✨

[@the_hermits_cave]

Such kind feedback, thank you so much. Happy holidays to you too!

[@JensBalancedTarot]

This deck is so pretty....it recently went on my wishlist...and this wonderful walkthrough only solidified its place. 😊 I smiled when you talked about the 9 of Pentacles because the same thing happens for me every time I see that card...I think about our first play date. 😊❤️

[@the_hermits_cave]

It came up in a reading I did this morning! Always makes me smile 😊

[@healinginteriors]

Great review, Simon. We could really see the detail on all the cards beautifully in your video. I’m totally smitten and must have this deck. Only discovered it a few weeks ago on Lavender Moon’s channel. Knew I wanted it but wasn’t sure where on the wish list it should be. This just bumped it to the top!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s a beautiful deck for sure

[@SpiritofAvalon]

Omg! That Krampus figure is fab, I love Funko Pop! Figures 😀 This deck is gorgeous, I really liked The Lovers Card and The Hermit. I think I will have to add to my wishlist 😍❤️

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re in a Hermit’s Cave binge tonight! 😆

[@SpiritofAvalon]

I know! 😆 I knew there was a couple of your videos I hadn’t watched yet. I said I would just be chillin’ and what better way than with The Hermit’s Cave 😍

[@robertstclair6100]

Great walk through. I've just found my next deck. Thanks. I hope you're de-stressed some by now and have the best Holiday filled with good times and happiness.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you and the same to you my friend 🙏🏼

[@jenniferballswitchhouse37]

Ahhhhh....what a GREAT gift after such a LOUSY week! Sending you TONS of love, my friend and we're going to have FUN tomorrow!!!

[@the_hermits_cave]

We sure are 🙏🏼

[@ConjurersTable]

Love this deck! One of my top favorites so far! And LOVE the Krampus figure!! I’m actually researching more on him, Gryla & the Yule Lads

[@NinetteNickerson]

I usually don’t like people in decks...I really like these! Ordered...it’ll be my first new year deck. This is my favorite Art Nouveau deck so far.

[@ElenaOutThere]

You are very good boy!❤❤❤ I would have been on the war path long ago Good luck! But this deck..it took my breath away😍 Thank you for introducing me to my new favorite!

[@inspirationspsychology]

That Krampus is just too cute 😍 It is really such a beautiful deck 💖

[@zinzolin14]

Beautiful deck! I love the Art Nouveau style artwork on this deck. I'm more impressed by it than the Ethereal Visions deck 😁👍

[@pendulumwisdomqueen7271]

I just ordered this deck, and saw you did a video on it. . I will get the golden universal also later, as I love the colours in that one. It was a tough call. I grabbed this first because of the facial expressions and close ups of the characters .

[@SatyaEmerging]

I hope that everything works out as quickly and smoothly as possible, and am glad that you did get some beauty and pleasure injected into such a stressful time.

[@rosa_r.f.]

Hello Simon!!! Gorgeous deck,thank you for sharing.Blessings to you❤❤❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

Hi Rosa!

[@juliaomcs]

Gorgeous deck, and I love the backs, and the closer images. Thanks. Happy Yule.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Same to you lovely 😊

[@Nats_Magical_Stuff]

Wow gorgeous cards 🤩🤩 you know i love my golden cards Simon 😊

[@jaimekelly7722]

Much wonderful and all that is good energy to you. Wonderful treats!! I believe the creators name of the Art Nouveau is pronounced like Julia. Super pretty cards!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Jaime Kelly Good to know! Thank you

[@juliaomcs]

Yes, that the Italian for Julia.

[@HealingDaysOracle]

Hi Simon, lovely deck and gift. I hope everything works out, much love. 💖💕

[@jartotable]

It's my new deck I'm promising myself. Gold with RWS is a must in my deck.🤗

[@nakitatillis2715]

Very pretty deck. I would read with this everyday and wear it out. I love Lo Scarabeo decks.

[@shellymyrick7163]

Love this deck it is one of a few I'm learning with, I've been getting all 3 of their boxes for months. The artwork and information is very pleasing to me the bounty box with it's pendants are my favorite go figure ...lol (I have 2 girls one soon to be off to college and threatening to take some...Hah not). The oils and sprays are wonderful but I do have a collection that I know I'll not use but am not ready to give up my boxes..lol. Enjoy and breathe, the holidays were not meant for stressing out but reflecting and looking forward to the future and you add joy to a lot of us with your personality and leading us to people/friends of yours who add that same flare and enthusiasm. Take a break anytime and do not be sorry for it. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you lovely for your kind words, it’s been lovely seeing you about recently and having you as part of the community. Have a wonderful and happy holidays! 🙏🏼♥️

[@lwasson2335]

Simon, I have the same Krampus doll, he's adorable!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Isn’t he just?

[@martiangentian]

Thanks for sharing, looks beautiful, very tempting and I really hope your pressies turn up and phone gets sorted 🙏

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@LoriTriesLife]

Which do you like more? This or the black & gold?

[@the_hermits_cave]

Both!

[@greyhaze1959]

Hi Simom. Knew you'd love this deck... Saw a walkthrough a month or so ago... Can't remember who did it... at my age memory is the first to go... after eyesight, hair, teeth, libido, mind!! 😏 But I had to get it as well... And don't have to say Simon made me do it!!!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Woohoo! At last.... one I’m not responsible for 😝

[@greyhaze1959]

@@the_hermits_cave Just ordered the mass market Lightseers tarot as its dropped in price... You are slightly responsible for that one!! 😏

[@mareedellaluna8624]

Just got these last week! Love them!!!!! A bit thin but it was to be expected. I love the gold foil.. I’ve been into a lot of gold foil lately!!!! I also just received The 5 Cent Tarot. I think I found my soul deck!!!!

[@the_hermits_cave]

I saw some of the images for the 5c Tarot and wasn’t sure about it. I need to give it some thought

[@mareedellaluna8624]

The Hermit’s Cave when it was on Kickstarter, I was sure I wouldn’t like it. So I didn’t back it! My sister did however... she got hers about a week or so ago, and when I went to visit.... I had to have them!!! I thought the guide words would bother me, they didn’t at all.. I found it on Etsy right away and ordered it. It’s not really my type of deck. I’ve been big into the gold foil- this one for example. Or, Ethereal Visions- is another favorite of mine. I have a lot of favorites! I didn’t think I’d like it. But with everything you get for $40 (there’s a $5 off promo code if you decide to use it let me know!) I don’t regret it all. And the 4 bonus cards it comes with, I’ll actually use. They make sense.. I love it and I was surprised how much I loved it! BUT! Different strokes for different folks!! It’s definitely different. But I was really pleasantly surprised!

[@DanielECulbertson]

Wow, WANT! 😁

[@helengilry1050]

Think the name Giulia is pronounced a bit like 'Julia' Simon! But with a 'Yah' sound. 'Yulia'. Think Yule...Yule-lia.

[@NinetteNickerson]

Oh my!!! The MOST stress? That’s saying a lot. By the way...amazon has a new tactic. They say things are delivered...and show up a few days later. I hope that happens for you! 🤗 ❤️

Sending huge hugs to you 😘 That would explain why you’ve not responded to the Glides I’ve sent... sent a message through Facebook now 😊 Still watching...

I’ll go and check. I’m beyond frustrated. They are saying another 24 hours at least.
