[@the_hermits_cave]

Yaaay., pleased you found it 😍

[@Rootedintherealms]

Watching this in 2023. Cuz I LOVE UR CHANNEL AND U!!!! AND TAROT LOL

[@the_hermits_cave]

Aaaw thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️

[@shuffletarot7785]

I really enjoyed seeing your top 10 RWS decks and listening to you talk about them. It’s always fun listening to someone talk about something they love. 😁🙏 Sending you heaps of love and light ❤️😘

[@musingsbymascha]

Your Number One was the easiest to guess, Simon! What a great update on your Top 10 RWS 2020! Since I got the Blushing Fool, I do not need any other! Nothing compares!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Agreed! But the Pam A would 😍

[@conradsteyn5034]

Only getting to this video now. Simon I'm ALWAYS very humbled and honoured to get a meantion, and glad the CS Tarot deck is still in the top 3 RWS. Yay 🙂 Thanks for the great vid. Will chat soon..keep well my friend.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Of course! Plus that particular deck is very special to me 🙏🏼

[@SunshineDawn7]

Thank you Simon :-) This was very helpful ! I love your pics and collection ! Blessings !

The Tarot Deck for Study Course is so good. I have two. Love, love, love the coloring, the cardstock, the backs, no copyright.

[@callalily4052]

I really loved this video. I think Pamela Colman Smith's a genius. It's art and it's more than art. I love some versions more than others but I actually like them all. I have a couple of yellow boxes from the 70's, they're probably my favorites. Not quite Blushing Fools, I think they're just past that, but as close as I've gotten thus far. The card stock slides like buttah. We're so lucky to have Tarot. You open your soul to the Universe, change your life and your understanding of life forever and you start building this collection that is endlessly fascinating too! It's sounds flippant but I really mean it. Anyway, I loved seeing your ten favorite RWS decks (though they may have changed since this was filmed). So cool. Thanks, Simon.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you, and yes, I may have to do an updated version!

[@kaybrown7541]

I love your number 2 choice,the backs are wonderful,and the printing is so clear lovely.🙂

[@toadstooltarot]

What a treat for us RWS nerds. I was so happy when I saw that the 2.0 made your list, but so saddened by the distressing news of the backs. That hasn't yet happened to my copy, and it is upsetting. I've added The Golden Rider to my wish list. I'll probably tackle this when my blushing fool arrives.

[@the_hermits_cave]

I’m nervously awaiting hearing your thoughts on the BF!

[@toadstooltarot]

@@the_hermits_cave LOL

[@annerobinson2288]

I got my Blushing Fool without knowing it for around $30. What a pleasant surprise! Thanks so much for this fun Top 10. Love your videos. They have helped me decide on more decks than I'd like to admit! Thank you, Simon.

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome lovely 😊

[@biglizzzard]

Another fun video! Thank you! I could listen to you talk about RWS all day😉

[@rachelstarotreads]

I never noticed the squiggle or “oh shit” mark on the Sun!!!! That is so cool 🤓🤓🤓

[@sammiecheco6239]

Watching this in 2021 and i have to say, I LOVE YOUR PLANNER!! Countdown is also super helpful, i'm sure it was so hard, but i do hope to see another one end of 2021 :D

[@melissazupan6026]

Woo hoo! Look at what I manifested!!! 😜 I'm so sorry I missed the premiere! When I got the notification this morning, I could have sworn it said it was going to premiere on the 27th! I'm really happy to see your top 10, and I definitely wouldn't have guessed your current order...or that you would have included the J.K. Waite at all! And look at all these tins! 😍

[@the_hermits_cave]

Really? You thought I would leave the JK out? 😝

[@melissazupan6026]

​@@the_hermits_cave I mean, I know you love your JK. I just wouldn't have expected to see it in your top 10 RWS. In the first one of these you did, you talked a bit about how you were only considering decks that used Pixie's artwork. The JK is fully redrawn. I'm pleased as punch you chose it, but if I had placed bets on your top 10, I would have lost because of JK. 😜

[@wisteria1143]

Thank you Simon for explaining the history of dirty pam! Now i really want your version because it looks like the perfect size! I had ordered the study deck last week because i need to have a deck as close to the pam a as possible! Now i need to find a dirty pam....never ending...always loving ✨🌟✨

[@the_hermits_cave]

It often seems like the ones we really want are the hardest to obtain.

[@WaterChildTarot]

I enjoyed this video, and I'm very glad you included the University Books - that's my ride-or-die RWS.

[@traceel.8194]

This was a super fun video... You have beautiful hands by the way.🥰

[@annerobinson2288]

I agree about the "Study Deck". The more I use it, the better i like it. It has a lovely mauve cast to the backgrounds which is yummy. Rivals the US Games non copyright to me! So authentic.

[@Dracorvid]

I've been missing so many Lives/Premieres because of Zoom Meetings... I'll have to come back and watch again once the chat is up!

[@Ejcfarley]

So much fun thanks so much for sharing Simon. I love all of these so much 💓 😊 😂 I love the Top of the Pops references and the 19-0-10 😂- do you have a link for the study tarot course deck on makeplayingcards at all please Simon - I think I missed this one - I would love to own a replica of the Pam A? 🙏 😊

[@riotthill]

Great survey of RWS - I have several bookmarked for follow up. Thanks Simon 😊

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome 😉

[@roxieblue9150]

Was watching an episode of “Charmed” where a character’s using a deck and I was like I know I’ve seen that one on one of Simon’s walk-throughs. Turns out it’s number 8, Golden Rider! ,

[@the_hermits_cave]

Ah that’s interesting to know!

[@annerobinson2288]

University goes well with your spread cloth!

[@pawstalk]

Where do you get these custom tins? I need one for my University Books Original Sized deck. My box was lost to me many years ago.

[@pawstalk]

Also, can you recommend where to get some of these decks, like the Dirty Pam, 2.0 and CS Deck?

[@the_hermits_cave]

All from the same place, those decks and tins come from ‘Make Playing Cards’ 😍

[@houseofhag]

I always look forward to your Top 10 RWS - really enjoyed this, thank you Simon 😀 Only one surprise - the 2.0. No Pixie font and naff backs, what were you thinking? 🤣 Oh and I adore your tarot cloth - where did you get it Simon.....praying you say somewhere in the UK!! 🙏

[@the_hermits_cave]

A shop in Nottingham called Ice Nine, it’s just a bandana

[@houseofhag]

@@the_hermits_cave thanks Simon! I'll check if they are online - love the colours 👍💙

[@sandrinecottet1404]

Hi Simon, I love your number 3 CS Tarot 😊

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s a wonderful deck

[@justinmichaeltarot]

I’ve been waiting for this one!!! 💚

[@justinmichaeltarot]

There is a Pam A on EBay right now for 1600.00 and it’s only 77 cards 😂 All great choices Simon. I also like Study deck.. I think you would like the 1909 deck by Drive Through Cards.. it’s very close to study deck.. the card is a bit lacking but nothing horrible I’m currently looking for a Blushing fool but I’m not in a rush.. thanks my friend..

[@the_hermits_cave]

I will get the 1909 I think 😝 I’d never pay that, especially for a deck with a missing card

[@melissazupan6026]

That Pam A is missing way more than 1 card. It's only got 30 cards: the majors, kings, and aces. Literally *everyone* who keeps tabs on vintage Rider decks knows it is waaaaay overpriced.

[@justinmichaeltarot]

@@melissazupan6026 😂 ohh I must be thinking of another deck with 77. I think that was a Hoi Palloi now that I’m remembering. Way out of my price range. I’m happy with the Study Deck.. I wouldn’t mind getting a Pam B or C

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@justinmichaeltarot Glided you my friend

[@Rootedintherealms]

U should do a top 10 rws 2023 editon! Pretty plsssss

[@the_hermits_cave]

I think I have! 😝

[@BBBDD111]

do you have a link for the Pam A study deck please, I can't find it on make playing cards?

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s not there anymore sadly

[@barbarasharp9432]

Hi Simon! Can you (or anyone perusing the comments) tell me where I can order those custom tins from? Is it MPC or is there another specific site that may have more options than MPC? Any details would be helpful. Thank-you. ☺️

[@the_hermits_cave]

MPC yes 😍

[@melissazupan6026]

It's done through Make Playing Cards. This is the link to the specific product. www.makeplayingcards.com/design/custom-tarot-tin-box.html You just upload your own art under "Start My Design." It accepts jpg, jpeg, bmp, png, gif, tif and tiff files. The minimum resolution is 481 x 783 pixels (150DPI), and file sizes have to be under 32 MB.

[@melissazupan6026]

I have a video that walks you through the process here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJqZpqqZn7KUhdU

[@melissazupan6026]

A lot of the tin covers that Simon has are ones that Moon Baby (Brant) and I designed. I think most (if not all) of the ones Simon has shown can be found in the "Files" section of the Hermit's Cave Facebook Group.

[@the_hermits_cave]

@@melissazupan6026 thanks lovely, Jen was looking for the study deck one but couldn’t find it.

[@juliepapineau167]

Yeah, bring back dirty Pam mat finish card stock with no borders in a sturdy box with the white and blue design from the other versions. It would be so great like an orgasm. Come on Lo Scarabeo, you can do it.
