Overrated Tarot and Oracle Decks I Don't Use!

[@fellaswoman]

Sometimes a deck can be just a lovely work of art and needs no other task assigned to it. You could always do a collage or art piece with the deck your mum bought you...would make a lovely keepsake ❤🌞

[@KateyFlowers]

Autumn Roberts that's a fun idea!

[@Rexinathatsme]

Love the faeries deck by Froud and Macbeth so much! But, I agree, it's a heavy hitter som times. It was one of my first oracles and I find the deck the perfect balance between light and dark, and it always speaks the thruth! When I need tobe pushed out of my comfort zone, I always consult the faeries :)

[@MarilynFromTarotClarity]

What a clever video topic! I have many decks in my collection that I just can't bring myself to use, but as a collector, I keep them. One deck you mentioned, The Sacred Rose Tarot with those starlit eyes really bugged me when I bought it. Bear in mind that in those days there were not too many decks to choose from so when a deck arrived at the bookstore, I'd nab it. But very often we were only able to choose a deck based on the box cover art. Well, once I opened The Sacred Rose deck, I loathed it. However, now, after a great many years, I've been drawn to it. In fact, I used it a few days ago. I'm not sure when I bought it, but I'm guessing I've had it for at least twenty years. It took that long for it not to bug me anymore. Thank you for sharing. Ps, don't worry about reading the book. I didn't even know it had a book. Trust yourself.

[@readingsbycara]

_Mmmm.._ I didn't realize that the Sacred Rose tarot has a larger companion book! *I'm with you Katie...* when there's a larger guidebook, I certainly feel that in order to do that deck and creator justice, I require the guidebook. Plus, I too, love reading and learning. ♥️

[@heatherphillips9604]

Card decks also have energy , just by having them around you , you are being impacted by each decks energy( ies)

[@KateyFlowers]

heather Phillips very true!

[@anasan00]

I.ve only bought once a second hand deck... it was supossed to be new. For months I cant use it, though I like it... but I dont know how to "ask" it to connect in a new home 🤔🙄

[@dananorris6242]

@@anasan00 Whether it's through a prayer or just speaking from your heart....tell it omething like your honored the deck has found ot's way to you. Welcome the deck to your home and ask it if it would like it to work with you. I like to new a new deck spread asking what our purpose together is.....just a thought.

[@thenaturalyogi5934]

I've let go of my entire Wild Unknown because of the obsessive energy I got with it. Also I started having migraines whenever I used it so it they had to go. 🤣

[@heatherphillips9604]

I have used many of the decks you mentioned . Here is a way to interact with each deck . Get a notebook shuffle the deck , pick a new card each day , note your first impressions , then at end of the day make notes about your day and how it related to your card , then you can look up meaning according to author ,. make sure that if you have already chosen that card on previous day , then draw a new one .Alternatively you can chose to wait to look up the meanings in the book after you have chosen the complete deck . My experience is that the cards will relate to you individually and show you what they are all about. Brightest and deepest blessings

[@KateyFlowers]

heather Phillips I used to use this approach when I was first learning Tarot... perhaps it's time to give it another go! 😊

[@ismolatham4393]

I love the australian animals deck, the colours are so pretty. I just had a look for it and yeah, its super rare, places want a lot for it just as a base price but they don't even have it in stock! You have a treasure there!

[@margueritedilosa2944]

Ismo Latham I also love this deck , it has so many hidden meanings especially with the symbols around it . I use it to choose an animal for the day or an energy for the day or to clarify the energy for the reading .

[@williamwheeler5583]

I like what you said about the books being a barrier to reading. Vice Versa Tarot book made the suggestion to just read the cards and consult the book if you feel like it. I felt so empowered because I also felt like I had to have everything memorized or worked out.

[@krislynner6260]

I really liked this video and the idea of exploring why certain decks do not get used. I have a few in my small collection that I don't use and you've inspired me to do this process with those decks!

[@KateyFlowers]

Krislynner thank you! It was a very productive little exercise! I hope your reflection proves just as insightful! Xx

[@LouValcourt]

I love the Brian Froud fairy deck. I have worked with it for 10 years or more. It has a home on my altar and I pull a fairy every week. It seems to be a deck people either love or don't jive with. Very hot and cold for some reason.

[@KateyFlowers]

Wild Intuitive yeah, it definitely seems to be that way!

[@sharoncmorris2469]

I agree I had the Brian Froud fairy deck but found it did not resonate with me. It had a great book of meanings in it. You would really have to like the art work but no could not get a feel for it.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Very interesting. I may have to look at this myself at the weekend! Thanks for sharing! 🙏🏼📿

[@KateyFlowers]

Two Spirit I'd be super interested to hear about your findings! 😁👍

[@TheTruthinStory]

I love this kind of video!! I feel the same way about the Tarot of the Sidhe, it makes me uncomfortable and I'm not sure if it's a "need more time and work" or if it's just not for me either!

[@KateyFlowers]

The Truth in Story I'm glad I'm not alone in that weird feeling!! 😅

[@melaniewoods]

Hello Kelly and Katie, you lovely ladies! The Tarot of the Sidhe is one of my favourite decks - I partially trimmed it (borders were too wide for my liking) and edged in black - it's absolutely stunning now. As for the energy - I completely get why people might find it hard to connect with. I can't imagine ever using it for a light-hearted, daily type reading. For me it's a meditation deck, for soul/shadow work - really deep stuff, takes me to places that can be a bit daunting. I feel the Sidhe are guiding me through it in a wise, supportive way. 💜

[@amandagosling7622]

The Truth in Story I felt the same about Tarot of the Sidhe, it just didn't feel like Sidhe energy, I'm not quite sure what it felt like, but it wasn't Sidhe

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

It's always so much fun to watch your videos. Thank you for posting.

[@tarotmap]

Awesome Katey! I also have a few of the decks that I love, don't use but don't want to let go off just yet anyway :) That Marryday tarot is cute indeed!

[@KateyFlowers]

Tarot Map ooh now I'm curious what is lying away in your collection! The Merry Day is cute!

[@Gemmagic84]

Great video theme Katey. It's interesting which decks you don't reach for but somehow aren't ready to let go of and I enjoyed hearing your thought processes surrounding why. I used to be quite against the idea of collecting for the sake of collecting, but I too have come to accept that some decks are just a part of my collection and not working decks. I am part of the club that loves Tarot of the Sidhe but I also feel intimidated by my Froud decks and don't reach for them much. Much love ❤️

[@KateyFlowers]

Byfeatherbranch&stone yes, I was very much someone who bellowed 'I'm not a collector! I only have decks I use!' Which is *mostly* true, but not the whole story! 😅 Thanks as always, Gemma 😘

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Deck interviews might be a good idea too. I got my deck interview ideas from Jessi Huntenburg

[@darklittlepeople]

this was not only interesting, but also inspiring - i will definitely do the same exercice. i also feel the same way about many of them : the self-inflicted obligation to learn everything that's in a meaty book before having the right to play, being intimidated by a deck, overwhelmed 'cause having too many, etc.

[@KateyFlowers]

DarkLittlePeople I'm glad I'm not alone in that! 😅 xx

[@darklittlepeople]

[@morthanalittle]

[@KateyFlowers]

[@morthanalittle]

Katey Flowers 💕

[@FirstLightMystic]

I really enjoyed this video, especially because it validated my own collection of unused tarot decks! :D I always felt like if I wasn't using a deck, I should pass it on. But recently I realized that no, I simply like having some decks around, even if it's just to take one out of the box once in a while and look at the pretty art. xo

[@KateyFlowers]

First Light Mystic it has been interesting learning to distinguish between decks that just aren't for me, and those that aren't for me *yet* 😊

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Do you ever do multideck readings? Try doing a reading with a deck that you generally use and then pull a card or two from some of your question decks to just add something to the reading and see if that resonates at all.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

For example, I just feel like those animal cards would be overwealming to do a full spread, but a one card reading isn't enough, so drawing an animal card to add to another reading could be interesting.

[@rosemaryharrington5132]

I love the Wisdom is the Australian Animals deck. I have not invested in an Oracle deck yet. I am still working with the Rider Waite and clones.

[@MeadowlarkMystic]

I love this kind of video just as much as the ones where you share what you love and use. Thank you!

[@KateyFlowers]

Find Your Light I enjoyed making it! I thought it was a bit of a fun twist, and an opportunity to talk about some decks that I don't show very often!

[@EsotericMysticPortal93]

Like the Sacred Rose tarot, was in two minds as well but it has a magnetic feel. The figures on the cards are supposed to be unearthly beings and that is why their eyes are different ! The book is useful but just for an occasional browse. Tarot of the Sidhe is deeply ethereal so it is a unique deck, may be good for journaling or inner work. Oracle of the Dreamtime looks great, lucky you. Keep in mind that we do go through stages with deck interest, has happened to me many times over the years. Blessings.

[@KateyFlowers]

Cosmic Arcana yes, the white eyes certainly give the creatures an alien aspect! And you're so right, sometimes it's just not the right time for a deck, and that's totally okay!

[@LeanneAuroraBlue]

I love the artwork in the Brian Froud deck but I agree I couldn’t read the bottoms clearly

[@angeltheitinerantlibrarian]

It was interesting. Quite a few decks I had never seen before, so thank you for sharing with us. Paz y amor.

[@KateyFlowers]

+Angel Rivera it's an interesting mix of decks, isn't it?! 😁

[@AudriannaB-World-Peace]

The Incidental Tarot was really beautiful. I should look for it!

[@danceofthesoultarot]

Right there with you, Katey. I have so many of those and am looking at some serious culling. Which I've been putting off by trimming tons lol. My reasons for not using fab decks mainly has to do with the size of my collection. Trimming helped me connect with the Tarot of the Sidhe. Hardy is one I'm very unsure about. Almost sold it, held off, still undecided. Loved seeing your offerings and such a good topic for a video. Thanks for sharing.

[@KateyFlowers]

Dance of the Soul Tarot a lot of people have suggested trimming the Tarot of the Sidhe! Perhaps that's something I need to do... thank you! :)

[@kellylux5014]

I saw the Sacred Rose Tarot on another 'decks I don't use' video, and was drawn to it because of its otherworldly feel. I really like it. I call it my traditional tarot version of my Osho Zen, because readings have a similar feeling. I recommend skipping the giant book and reading the LWB instead. This deck has the most useful LWB I've ever encountered.

[@KateyFlowers]

Kelly Lux oh what an interesting observation regarding the book! I will take that on board! I totally agree - I love the otherworldly feel of it. It actually kinda reminds me of the Tarot of the Sidhe - a bit fae, a bit alien - but more appealing and approachable.

[@darlingstuff1560]

Lay them out and stick in proper order to a board then frame as a picture for the wall.....all of those decks

[@bookwight]

I have at least two decks in my collection (full disclosure: I *am* a collector, so I never get rid of any) that I thought I hated and regretted having spent the money on. A couple years later with the one, and about fifteen(!) years later with the other, I suddenly felt drawn to use them and fell in love. It astonished me, because I don't consider myself an inconsistent person! I now think I was just waiting for the right time in my life to connect with those decks. That might happen for you too, and on some level you might be feeling that, which might be why you just can't let certain decks go. …I keep saying "might" because only you can judge that for yourself; it's just a thought that might 😉 help. Btw, I can't speak to the Sidhe because I haven't quite connected to that one yet, though I want to. I feel the same as you for now. But I *did* have an almost-aversion to the Faeries' Oracle at first and left it in its box a few months. Then one day…out it came…and WOW! Suddenly those faeries came alive in my hands and it's now my absolute favourite oracle. My If-I-could-only-have-one-oracle Oracle. I find it a very friendly, funny, mischievous, silly, yet deeply wise deck. I'd suggest not being too serious about it - or the other decks, for that matter. Put the books away for a bit and just play with the cards, maybe?

[@KateyFlowers]

Bookwight oh how interesting that you connected with those decks after so much time! You're totally right! I have a tendency to take myself and my work a bit too seriously sometimes! Time to chill out and get playful again! 😁

[@layercakearts]

Great topic! I think it helps us feel like we're not alone in this. And there's often some guilt involved as if we spent money and then regretted it. Ironically I JUST bought Tarot of the Moongarden a few days ago and literally upon opening it knew I wasn't going to connect with it and it was the print quality like you said, can only read in full daylight and the borders bother me.

[@KateyFlowers]

Layer Cake Arts ah it is a shame about the Moon Garden, isn't it?! I thought it was my glasses getting old for a little while! 😅 I definitely agree that some of that shame/guilt can hang around with deck collecting and whether we use our decks 'enough'.

[@1976mcfarlane]

That merriday tarot is very neat art. I might even get it

[@ceridwenscauldron2799]

I would trim that merry day tarot, it's gorgeous...but those key words 😮😮😮😮I'd have to chop them I'd trim that animal deck as well, sometimes a trim is all that is needed Totally agree with guide books, I felt that way about Dreams of Gaia

[@KateyFlowers]

Tarot Alchemist I've thought about it! I guess I don't like to trim a deck unless I'm pretty sure I'll end up working with it, especially OOP decks... but maybe I should reconsider that!

[@kathyabeauty]

Is there a proper way to dispose of a deck? I had the Githic Tarot deck which I bought and used initially for its stark no nonsense images and shockingly real feel to the messages. I started to feel dark and angry using them, so donated them to a charity bin. Is this disrespectful? Should I have given them to someone in person instead?

[@celestialfairycassandra7397]

Great video Katey, it's always nice to hear your thoughts :D I'm with you on the Tarot of the Sidhe. TY! X

[@KateyFlowers]

Cassandra & Tarot thank you! Tarot of the Sidhe seems to be a bit of an 'all or nothing' deck - you're either head over heals in love, or quite removed from it like we are!

[@NobodyHere]

The French deck you showed us first reminds me of Kipper somehow :D Sometthing about the Merry Day always makes me a bit sad. If I understand the story correctly, the creator of Merry Day passed away in financial hardship because of some unethical behaviours related to their distribution. I kept it for that reason weirdly. I probably will never use it. I struggle to connect with the human figures in The Hardy. It costed me as much as the deck to ship it over, and I can only use the minors so far. The Oracle of the Dreamtime is one that I have not used a lot but feel CERTAIN that it is to stay with me. I actually bought a second copy. I was that certain. Maybe I should do a read out from the book.... Hm.... In any case, I feel you. I have a few of these as I clear out my collection too :D My own explanation for myself is that perhaps I am sensing that the time for me to work with them is yet to come :) Thanks for sharing!

[@KateyFlowers]

Nobody Here oh that is a sad story about the Merry Day! How awful! 😢 But I feel you on the Oracle of the Dreamtime... something special about that one, I think!

[@LittleBlueDuchess]

This is so interesting! Thank you for sharing. I don't own any of those decks (very small collection here) but I do have a deck that is sitting in my 'don't use, can't give away' pile. It's the Mary-El tarot. Although the deck is utterly gorgeous and I love the style, I find it very heavy, abstract and Kabbalistic. It's also based on the Thoth, which I'm not familiar with. So I totally understand how different systems can stagnate the learning and connection process!

[@KateyFlowers]

Cierra Grove yeah, I can totally appreciate why you'd feel that why towards the Mary-El - I did myself until I finally decided to trade it off!

[@the_fae_witch1509]

If you are a collector of any sort, never feel bad for keeping them if you are not using them for their base purpose. Many collectors collect things that they know they will never even open because the value would go down. Every deck you collect has a story and a purpose regardless if you've used them once or not at all. I'll never understand the need to declutter tetot decks because ten years from now the decks will either be out of print (making it a true collectors item) or a deck you've never used could become one of your favorites. Brian Frouds fairy Oracle is my absolute favorite oracle deck. It is intimidating but if I can read it, anyone can lolol. Ive found it quite helpful to have a journal for the sole purpose of one particular deck in mind. Sometimes you have to just start reading with it with the aide of the guide book. There is no shame in using the guidebook. My favorite terot deck is the Terot of the Sidhe. Its so powerful and wild. I modified mine because I found it difficult to shuffle. I also edged it in the color of the elements because its an elemental heavy deck. Sometimes modifying a deck will bring you closer to a deck. Also its something to consider that there might be an element of shopping addiction at work. Right now this affects hundreds of thousands of people on youtube because its a rush to purchase whats new and trending and there is a pressure to buy buy buy or you'll miss out. But when the item finally comes in, that feeling passes and it gets shelved and you feel buyers remorse. And then you're onto the next rush with another deck and the process repeats. Unfortunately this is an epidemic on youtube that affects almost every community.

[@weststartarot-Liz]

Interesting video, Katey. I finally traded the Hardy Tarot, just could not connect. I do use and love Colleen Hardy's Forces, Flora, and Fauna oracle deck, however. I pulled out Silver Witchcraft a couple of months ago to trade and the next thing I knew I had really connected with it and am now using it a lot......so you just never know. You have inspired me to do a Fall cleaning!!! (I know it's Spring in Australia!!!!)

[@KateyFlowers]

Oh I didn't even know she had an oracle deck! It looks lovely!

[@francesrobinson1335]

Hi, Katey. Interesting video. I have a small collection and intend to keep it that way. I certainly don't read with all my decks. Some, I just enjoy looking at. I recently got the Meraki Tarot and it's really not for me. Out of a collection of almost 30 decks that's the only one I'd like to rehome. I'm not on any social media except Pinterest. Can you suggest an easy way I could find someone to buy or trade this deck? Anyway, thanks for sharing.

[@NorsePaganTarotWitch]

I was actually considering doing a #onelastchancetarot challenge to bond with decks I rarely or never use or with decks I don't use but don't want to give it up quite yet. I did purge many decks at the end of July. I am considering selling the ones I don't use/resonate with/etc. My original intention for collecting decks is to collect to use rather than just to collect to collect. There were decks I thought I would love but don't. Such as the Wild Unknown (1st Edition), Sherlock Holmes Tarot, Steampunk Tarot Wisdom from the Gods of the Machine, to name a few. I also got rid of books recently (language ones mostly) that I don't use anymore or can't get anything out of it. Great video Katey! -Søren

[@MilesCarroll]

huh. curious why you don't love the wild unknown, it's one of my fav's...

[@KateyFlowers]

Norse Pagan Tarot Witch I'd love to see you do a similar video! I totally don't 'get' the Wild Unknown... I've actually owned it twice, but try as I might, I just couldn't connect with it! 😅

[@NorsePaganTarotWitch]

Miles Carroll: The imagery didn't speak to me as I hoped it would. It was a really popular deck and I told myself that if I didn't at least try it out I would regret it. It didn't give me much to go off of in my readings and I never felt drawn to using it when I did have it. It's one of those you either love it or you don't. I wanted to love it and there were cards that were absolutely cool but if I can't read with it, it can't stay in my collection. Most cards being black and white make it hard for me to read with. I need colour in my tarot decks. Katey Flowers:I may just have to do so very soon! Yeah, I wanted to love it but I just didn't and I am definitely guilty for falling for the hype.

[@MilesCarroll]

totally get it. Interesting, I hadn't heard any hype...i'm into depth psychology and the symbolism speaks to me. I use several decks though, too :)

[@MilesCarroll]

I also love the Froud fairy deck...

[@lindsayforsythe9912]

I own the sacred rose tarot and honestly at first I didn't think I'd like it but it grew on me about 2nd time I used it ,it kinda follows rider waite sorta .if I was you I'd try a reading on yourself at least 2 times and I think you will be surprised and also I think the colors on the roses in the images mean something to I can't remember off hand but i would def try them out ..I'm a beginner to tarot not seasoned at all and I'm looking for another deck that is good for beginners what deck would u recommend ? I have rider waite and Morgan Greer deck and Arthurian tarot just wanting to add ..any recommendations is appreciated ..also new subscriber I like your videos !

[@juliaomcs]

[@stevenbrightuk]

We have the exact same feeling about the Tarot of the Moon Garden. I always pull it out but that fuzziness and the fact that the blacks are so muted prevents me from using it every time. The backs are so sharp and beautiful but I just wish the printing was a bit better. Great video. I get you about Froud and the ‘book thing’ too. I’m a bit like that with the Arthurian (not knowing about the lengnds).

[@KateyFlowers]

Yeah, it's such a shame the printing isn't better on that one! It's such a lovely deck otherwise!

Is it the recent deck that has poor printing? I have a vintage one, and, it seems fine, to me.

[@stevenbrightuk]

@@melissagerber7231 It’s a new printing but I don’t know if it’s just the art. It’s not a true black which is a bit distracting.

[@nobodysummonsmegatron]

I had that Brian Froud deck for a while, but I found the artwork was just too dark for me. I couldn't relate to most of the cards. I ended up picking up the Gaia oracle and Oracle of the Mermaids.

The Tarot of the Sidhe. For some strange reason it makes me uncomfortable to even look at it. I don't know why. I am holding on to it. I have never used it. I am not going to visit it any time soon. But I am keeping it in that drawer where it is. A mystery? Or just learning to let go...

The Cassowary card is AMAZING! The Faerie Oracle is an interesting beast. I had it for a year or so, and had that same unapproachable feeling. A friend said to leave an offering for the Faeries and ask them to help you tune in. Oddly it worked, and I have great results with it now.

It’s all about preference. It’s not right to say”don’t use it” when it’s just not resonating or ‘right’ for you. There is no right or wrong answer of using a deck.

[@AzhidaReminiec9999]

Katey,I have a question about the tar it deck that you've just showed... Why is it in French? Curious

[@artlyons9024]

I find that there are very many beautifully illustrated Tarot decks with wonderful artwork, but either the artist failed to connect with the universal understanding of the Tarot symbolism (leaving a pretty deck with no soul" , or that particular deck just doesn't "speak" to me. I have quite a few decks with pretty artwork which I don't or can't use. There are some which I can't endorse as my philosophy. There are some that I can use (only because I understand the traditional meaning attached to then) but they don"t evoke deeper understanding & don't teach me anything.

[@elineeugenie5224]

it seemed to me a common element in your less-used decks could be that they invite you to immerse yourself in nature... ? how much is that a possibility for you, where you are?💐

[@KateyFlowers]

Hi Eline, I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what you mean. I spend quite a lot of time out in nature as I bush walk and bike ride regularly. I am in the city so, of course, I am somewhat limited, but I do the best I can with my location :)

[@elineeugenie5224]

Katey what about camping? i've really no idea whether that's your thing. it's just that a lot more communication with nature is possible if we want it. i live in the Netherlands myself😉we don't have any great outdoors at all here! i was wondering what it's like in Melbourne: city/outback contrasts? good you walk and bike! pure medicine always🙌

You will not get rid of any of these. Why? Because once you see it you like it and it will go back on the shelf.😁😁😁

In the six months since I made this video, I have gotten rid of the Merry Day, Moon Garden, Sacred Rose, Sidhe, and the Hardy. Sorry to disappoint! :D

What do you do with the decks you decide to move on?

[@KateyFlowers]

Sell them or trade them.

I just have started working with the Faeries'Oracle after a long time and suddenly I seem to get it. although I do use the guidebook the cards speak to me in a much more personal way than they ever did before.

[@KateyFlowers]

Ellen interesting! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[@Lunalix]

If oracle decks are for their artwork/graven images or as soothsaying, then demons may have a person keep them around; even without provoking a particular attraction or even repulsion to them. Fuzzy or other unusual features can be best to enhance the evocative nature of cards in use. Whether or not evil magick is a part of the use of an oracle, looking at the artist's specifics and the mythology they intended in their own words to see how one can and should work with it in one's own terms.
