The saying is “does the carpet match the drapes?” Loved seeing your summer deck choices,

[@lilpinkbear]

That's it! My goodness, I could not recall it in the moment. Thanks Lou! x

[@HoneyLouWilson]

Lovely vibes

OMG! When I heard you share the SAD like symptoms you experience as Summer progresses and how difficult it is to share them with others my eyes became teary as I’m like that too!! But, I learned to remain in the closet (so to speak) except for my family. I’m tired of being looked at as the « weirdo » who doesn’t enjoy the sun and Summer pleasures… which is not true… or being joked around as the « vampiry » girl…. 😕🙆‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Nice choice of decks by the way! 😊 It would be fun if you would do a collab with Sylvie at Tarot Magpie 😉 That would be really interesting!

[@lilpinkbear]

Yeah, summer SAD is tough on that extra front due to people thinking it's weird. I don't mind being the vampy girl as that's kind of my thing and have always actively covered up/kept out of the sun as much as possible. My main problem with summer, especially over time, is due to my light/heat sensitivity and my pain and fatigue being exacerbated in hot weather (I'm better in dry heat but London is more humid than a sauna in Hell). By August I am just living in this too bright, too hot, too humid sensory nightmare and my pain and exhaustion levels are usually through the roof. I guess that's enough to make anyone miserable. People always make fun of me but when I explain how/why I struggle, they usually at least 'get' it a tiny bit. Solidarity my summer SAD compatriate! Ooh, a collab with Sylvie would be fun, they're a blast! Thank you for watching. x

@@lilpinkbear Yesssss! Your description is spot on!!! I’m sure we’re not the only ones 😉! Have a great week-end!

[@papermoontarot4219]

Thanks, Kelly. I'm not fond of summer myself, got bored having a long school break and hate the heat. I must have a later edition of Numinous because the cards are matte and a bit textured, lovely stock. Zeke's is on my summer list for sure. 🏖

[@lilpinkbear]

Ooh, the cardstock on the later editions of the Numinous sounds lush!

[@ikalesunflower]

Loved seeing your selection Kelly. I think the mass market of the Circo Tarot is called How to deal tarot 😊

[@lilpinkbear]

Thanks B! Ah, yes, you're right. Thank you for the info, I couldn't remember in the moment. x

Hey there Madame Bear, I love Dame Darcy's second edition mermaid deck! (I have 2 copies of the first edition) I live in South Florida 15 minutes from, what I consider, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and I often go to the B ocean hotel on fll beach and take in the mermaid show, so much fun! #1 btw the B Ocean hotel is shaped like a 1940s cruise ship, btw 2 I've chatted with Madame Darcy when she lived in Savannah Georgia and, you probably know this, the queen of cups in her deck is her self portrait...thx 4 all the great vids🎉

[@lilpinkbear]

Hello Paul! A mermaid show? That sounds like fun! So cool that you've chatted to Darcy, she seems like quite the character.

[@jaywheeler760]

Love the old Yankee Clipper!

[@savyjett]

Yes! Another summer SAD here!

[@lilpinkbear]

Glad to hear I'm not alone. It can get very lonely in the summer SAD camp 'cos people just can't seem to get their heads around it most of the time. Sorry to hear you suffer too.

[@TarotMagpie]

As much as one can *need* a tarot deck, I need the Numinous 😍

[@lilpinkbear]

It's so freaking goood!

[@tamipie]

The Titania deck does look like over exposed film! ❤🎉

[@lilpinkbear]

It really does. I love how bright it is too!

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

really enjoyed this Kelly ❤

[@lilpinkbear]

Thank you lovely. xx

[@the_hermits_cave]

Such great choices! Every time I see Zeke’s Arcana I think, should I? 🤔

[@lilpinkbear]

I really love it but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you do want it though you better get a wiggle on because it's going OOP. Thanks for watching Simon. x

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Sweet video. Try a micro trim on the rest of the cards in that Groovy Waite so you can use the extra ones! I did it with my Hoi Polloi because two cards were different and you are so good at mods.

[@lilpinkbear]

That's one idea but I don't think I could bring myself to trim an entire deck to make just two cards fit. Even the thought of it makes me feel tired. lol. Thanks for watching Anna. x

[@Bunnykisses1000]

I thought of you when i saw this kickstarter..its called “the Felted Cat”..they look exactly like needle felting. Apparently is partial AI…but its sooo cute..there are just a few days left to back it. Check out the 10sword and 5 of cups…too cute..i had to have it. Reminded me of Magical forest in a way.

[@lilpinkbear]

Hiya! I checked it out, it is very cute but it does look too AI art-ish for my tastes. Thank you for thinking of me and letting me know though, it's appreciated. Thanks for watching lovely. xx

[@ForestWitchTarot]

So many beautiful decks! I’ve had my eye on Squid cake for a time now, it’s gorgeous💜 I have zero experience reading with marseille though, would it do as a beginner deck you think? Btw, such memory lane with the photos😅 I went on a ”language trip” to Torquay in -98 and like half of the photos have my finger in them as a big ugly blurr😂🌀

[@lilpinkbear]

Hiya! I think it would be a great beginner deck for TdM. The guidebook is small and a good jumping off point but I would recommend a larger, more in-depth book for studying. Tom Benjamin's Tarot on Earth is an excellent workbook. I also really love Untold Tarot by Caitlin Matthews and The Marseille Tarot Revealed by Yoav Ben-Dov. Oh goodness, I remember those accidental thumb over the lens type photos too. Lol.

[@ForestWitchTarot]

@@lilpinkbear Thank you so much! Maybe this autumns project is to start to learn the Marseille💜 (Because doing ones own rune tarot deck whilst trying to in-depth learn to read runes and nordic animism is just not enough for my adhd-brain 😅🙈)

[@ForestWitchTarot]

*rune oracle deck, not tarot..

[@InnerMagpie]

I was so lucky to buy a used Marshmallow Marseilles, I wish that the maker would print more…..so sad that it’s OOP. 😣

[@lilpinkbear]

Oh that's wonderful you nabbed a copy! I didn't realise it was OOP. That's a shame, I reckon they would sell well, since Marseille/pips are so much more popular now.
