I hope this video clears up any tricky confusion about all the different versions. Basically there are Three....The Original deck (90 cards) which is no longer available, the revised edition (100 cards) which is out now and is the replacement for the original deck, and now there is this Men and Monsters Expansion deck (54 cards) which can be added to either the original if you have it, or the newer replacement revised edition. The latter option there will be 19 overlapping cards. xx -Theia

I’m excited 💚

[@rachelar6]

Huh, I just got the new version and out of the 100 I only see a few with the same name, am not sure what you mean by 19 overlapping cards...

[@junebugblues]

Yay Theia!!! I'm so excited! I don't know whether to watch this now or wait for my expansion order to come in two days....hmmm I think the best idea is to finish watching now, then watch again once it's in my hands! Thank you for sharing your creation with us, the joy and dedication in your voice talking about it all is so potent!

[@AmethystAscension]

I always love hearing you talk about Greek mythology. I will be getting the expansion for sure now. I was confused about what to get. Loved this video. ❤️

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

Aw thank you friend! Maybe one day we'll get to share stories in the flesh! That would be fantastic, I would love it so much! xx

[@Anna-ft2mi]

Thanks so much for sharing your passion with us. Love feeling like I’m learning while looking at these cards, can’t wait to get them. 🌸

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

It really is my pleasure! I hope you enjoy them SO much! xx

[@thesolesibyl]

I have been waiting (and searching) for a deck that does ancient Greek myths/deities justice. Not surprised that it took multiple decks & over a hundred cards to do so, LOL. What a fantastic labor of love! Will be ordering copies this week. Thank you!

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

He he, my thumb is yellow... I was chopping some turmeric earlier and it would just NOT come off. 😂

[@Rachierooh]

Do you happen to h a breakdown of the names of the cards in the expansion revised monster pack? I put all mine together and am now struggling to separate them all... thanks

[@LuckSpinner]

So awesome, that imagery and leather case is amazing! =)

[@neteszti]

Any idea what to do with the overlapping 19? Any tips? I'm not sure I should get the expansion… but my faves are the heroes.😢

[@Rachierooh]

Love it!! Just ordered the expansion set to go with my OG.... many thanks for this xx

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

My pleasure Rachel! I'm just so thrilled it's making other people as happy as it has made me! xx

[@bloomingwitch7755]

They are beautiful. Well done with the revised addition xx 💜

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

Awww I'm so thrilled with how they turned out! Thanks so much for all the support Rebecca! As always, you're the best! xx

[@bloomingwitch7755]

@@GardenGoddessTarot thank YOU too. You beautiful soul you 💜💜💜 xx

[@DebraDarkandTwisty]

THAT was a Theia video 😁 The silent walk through was unnatural 😉😂 Thank you for creating these gorgeous decks & for taking the time to share your amazing amount of knowledge with us 😊

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

Haha! Thanks Deb! You're so right though, it did feel a little wrong making a video and not actually saying all that much. It probably won't happen again. lol! xx

[@madwitch9977]

Im hoping to buy this for my daughter and myself. Is the whole set available on MPC ? I know Im late to the party but I really hope I can get it as my daughter is so in love with Greek Myths xxx

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

Ohh what a perfect gift! Never late, exactly when you mean to I'm sure! Yep, hopefully it'll always be avaliable if I've got anything to do with it. :) Let me know if you need a link and I'll get one to ya. xx

[@kellynairn5480]

Do this Deck come with a book and how would u read them plz

[@tigerlybalm]

Hi Theia! Thank you for this chatty walkthrough, I loved it! I understand not wanting to create a guidebook that would influence a tarot reader's interpretation of a card, but I was wondering if you'd consider maybe adding a card or two or a LWB/PDF identifying which figures/characters/gods/etc. are being depiction *other* than the titular figure? Of course this wouldn't apply to every card, but in cases where there's another person or even a pair of hands (as you mention in this video) it would be quite interesting and helpful to know as I wouldn't be able to know otherwise OR look it up myself since I don't have the name of the painting used. (WOW What a run on sentence LOL I hope that made sense!)

[@MsPrettyVermin]

If I wanted to add a god how can i To the personalise deck to meet my individual need as I would like to add Phosphorus or Eôsphoros

[@mellowmesounds]

I loved every second of this - thank you for sharing - this was great watching on a Sunday - keep doing amazing - keep creating - new sub from me :) Be Blessed

[@denisedallimore9082]

Just received the expansion deck today

[@nurnu349]

Great choices Theia!😆☺️ My only regret is not having ordered the expansion at the same time I ordered the 100! It'll have to wait until February or March... 😭 I love the mix of gods, monsters, humans, elements and scenes. It is so versatile! Great potential. I just got it but I already got some straight forward messages (but in a gentle/elegant way). I got the "command" of doing a research on each card , and Zeus wants to be on top of the deck when I finish using the cards: it literally slid His way out of the deck to land on the table when I was arranging the cards neatly to put them back in the bag. Great choice for Zeus btw. Crazy how well it works. Beautiful. You have created a wonderful deck, Theia. It has a powerful but caring energy to it and it feels well balanced. I agree that a guide would perhaps limit possibilities (I love open interpretations), because if you read of a meaning it may stick. I love that there are light clouds in a summer sky, dawn, storms, (whirlpool in the expansion: Scila? Caribdis?.I don't remember WOW card, in awe!) Gorgeous. The Gods must be very, very happy...I am, as well! Muchas gracias! Blessings🌟🗝️☀️ PS The Theoi Project page you recommended to look for references regarding the gods and others is excellent! Big thanks!👌🔮🙏😉

[@GardenGoddessTarot]

No rush at all, It is my intention to have them available indefinitely, in some way or other. That's so interesting that Zeus likes being placed on the top, and here when I start going through that deck, there he is...on the top! Really appreciate the sentiments and thank you for the love and encouragement. Means a lot. I hope you get to enjoy working with the decks for a long and amazing time! xx

[@nurnu349]

☺️😉 Hahahaha , Zeus is Zeus. Hm. Soooo cool. I had never thought of working with Greek gods and goddesses but now that I feel their energy I am looking forward to know more about them! I am Mediterranean anyway, it feels somehow familiar🤔! I am very grateful that you created the deck! Yes, I have to get the expansion. It really is calling to me! All the best Theia!🙏🔮

[@rachelar6]

Thanks, great video. I'd love a list somewhere so I know what art piece was for each card
