Reconnecting To The Wild Unknown Tarot

Isn’t it fun to rediscover a deck that’s just been sitting there for a while? Here I’m shopping my own Tarot shelves, reconnecting to my Wild Unknown Tarot, going through my likes and (few) dislikes about this creation by Kim Krans. Enjoy.

This was the first deck I really, TRULY connected with. I have all of Kim Krans' decks, but this one by far still holds true for me. I agree with you, you need this in your collection. ❤

[@AstralLadyTarot]

It is a special deck, I agree! I don’t read with it often but I think I’ll never part with this one 🖤 Thanks for sharinf

I had walked away from Tarot in favour of many other forms of divination about 15 years ago. Honestly had no intention to ever go back to Tarot but I bought a multi item oracle deck lot & a small version of TWU Tarot was included. I fell in love with it! So TWU has brought me back to Tarot & I am gradually buying larger editions. Thank you for this video

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Great to hear you've found your way back to Tarot thanks to an inspiring deck!

[@jamesfeeney623]

Oh wow, I didn't know there were so many changes made to the Wild Unknown after the first edition, so cool to see! I actually loved the way you trimmed and colored your other copy, especially seeing that group of court cards all together 😍 Hearing about the cards you didn't like as much was actually extremely interesting, it seems like you have such a complex relationship with this deck! Seeing how the Living Altar Oracle paired with it was so beautiful also 🙌🏼✨

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Thank you James!

[@MsPrettyVermin]

I’m loving your colour project version, it’s cool. I love this and I’m after the Living Altar even more after seeing these teamed up. Great Video

[@pigipanospickacard]

I bought this deck (pocket size) because everyone had it even though I didn't like it a lot. Then, when I got it in my hands, I fell in love with it. I actually prefer the new cards Kim Krans created (with the exception of the progress pride flag colours in the justice card). I also wish she would have made some changes to the Sun card because someone said it looks like a cat's a**h*** and now I can't unseen it.

[@mikhaellar]

I have the same aversion to butterflies. I still go "ew flying worms" as an impulse reaction in my head whenever I see it as part of any drawing or design. Definitely some sort of shadow there 😂

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Very same shadow, very different reason 😆

[@3ofcupseclectictarotdaniel796]

Love this video I can't wait to pick up my summer decks cause I know so much more now . Also this deck i gave away but watching your videos it feels very winter stark I can see wanting to pick it up in a few years for the cold months

[@AstralLadyTarot]

It does have somewhat of a winter feel here and there.. What are your summer decks?

[@3ofcupseclectictarotdaniel796]

@@AstralLadyTarot i have shadow scapes. I recently got the hidden realm that i hope to use with the shadow scape although I'll likely use them in spring and summer I have linestrider and truth seekers that I want to explore in summer. I haven't really used any of the decks because last summer was my first summer with tarot. And I wasn't ready enough to really connect to then. I have just recently felt ready to pick up something other than rws without feeling like I need to find my rws for reference.

[@tinapolley9073]

I actually love your modified 2nd edition! Love love.

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Thank you Tina ;)

[@elisaphant981]

Yes! My plan is to re-visit many old favourites in 2021, from re-reading a few books and working with some of my older decks. The Wild Unknown is definitely on that list, as is the beautiful Anna K. I’m not completely sure which edition of TWU I have (it’s not the first) but I love my copy and it shuffles like a dream. Thanks for sharing, Ana!

[@AstralLadyTarot]

I think that’s a great plan! Anna K sure has a special appeal

[@aiatarlill]

It was so good to see this deck after a long time! It was the deck that brought me back to tarot after 15 years and the one I learned to properly read with (with Beth Maiden's most excellent Alternative Tarot Course). I have now acquired 60 other decks and this has been shuffled to the side a bit, but it is still my #1 in my heart and I should reconnect with it as well.

[@AstralLadyTarot]

What a cool journey!

[@wren1019]

i was so surprised to discover that i prefer to read with pip decks. i may have to, finally, get this one.

[@AstralLadyTarot]

I do feel it opens up the reading more

[@marjetasaric]

Another great video, Anna. I have the 2nd edition and it was my second tarot deck right after RWS. I learned a lot about the TWU cards and tarot in general from Carrie Mallon's blog. My favorite cards: the high priestess, death and six of pentacles.

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Cool that it was your second deck!

[@lilpinkbear]

This was so relaxing and soothing to watch/listen to. Loved hearing your thoughts on this gorgeous deck. I also have the OG version and prefer it. It was one of the first newer decks I bought when I started to expand my collection. It really does look great with the Living Altar, they compliment each other nicely.

[@AstralLadyTarot]

I’m glad I have it! And apart from it pairing well with Living Altar, it also has a bit of a winter feel here and there!

[@lilpinkbear]

@@AstralLadyTarot I totally see it as a winter deck. It's when I use it the most for sure.

[@joanasadowski1303]

I am currently reconnecting to the Wild Unknown Tarot too. 🖤 I almost already made the decision to rehome it, but I’m really glad I didn’t. There is something special about this deck that I don’t want to miss in my tarot practice and I guess for me it also has to do with it’s simplicity and lack of colors. I have the mass market edition and am not super happy about the quality of the cards, even though I do actually prefer slightly thinner card stock. It just doesn’t shuffle that good. I prefer the backs of the indie version but am actually totally fine with the card changes in the mass market edition. So yeah, I definitely like to keep my deck and continue working with it again more often. Beautiful video, thanks!!! 😊

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Thanks Joana, that’s good to hear. I agree the mass market shuffles a little less smoothly but apart from that really I was just going through the card changes since I happen to own the first edition. It’s a lovely deck. Iconic!

[@houseofhag]

Ok, you've got me hunting my copy out! I love this deck and it definitely fulfils tarot ASMR in the shuffle! Edited to add - God, it looks good with the Living Altar deck! Would love an update on how you are working with that Oracle Anna 🖤

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Will definitely make one! :)

[@testcardII]

Such good timing! I’ve been thinking about this deck and The Wild Unknown Animal Spirit oracle too. Also, just thought I’d mention, there’s an interview with Kim Krans on Pam Grossman’s “The Witch Wave” podcast, in case you haven’t heard it? I recommend it :) Thanks for the video 🌻

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Thank you Luna for the recommendation. Curious if you reconnect to it too!

[@cardsbydoortje]

Dank je wel weer voor deze leuke upload. ❤️

[@Saturnarium]

I was on the fence about this deck for the longest time... while the artwork is gorgeous, I have trouble connecting with decks with no people in them but you made me reconsider. Maybe this is a good deck to get me out of my comfort zone...❤

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Hmmm I like decks with only animals, but it took me a while to connect to those for sure. Maybe you’d like one that has more detail and less abstract, like the Wildwood?

[@kthearcher3357]

That's exactly why I was so drawn to this deck, non peopley.

[@barbgreiner]

Oh dear, this is gorgeous. You just reminded me, I need the Living Alter....uh oh ... 🥰

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Are they still having a sale?

[@barbgreiner]

@@AstralLadyTarot oh yes they are ❣️🎄❣️. Mary Christmas Yule et al to me ❣️

[@AstralLadyTarot]

@@barbgreiner :D

[@ruthanna4713]

I am sad now, that I just bought the new edition unknowingly that so much has been changed 😮

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Aw, the new is good too!!

[@LennanSmith]

Hmm, I could listen to you talk tarot ALL DAY! 😑🤤 I don't have this deck... 😕 But I love it from afar... 🤭 I, also, loved watching you color an edition a while ago. 🖍😝

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Hi Lennan! In my mind this deck somehow fits you. Perhaps one day

[@greylady1958]

Drie keer raden welk deck ik uit de kast ga halen 😉

[@AstralLadyTarot]

😂👍

[@fierceandpretty1365]

For some reason I have never had a need to get this deck. The spider card alone puts me off. Some images are great but some are not for me. And I don’t like the black and white with random colors 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s either or for me. Too confusing to my eyes.

[@AstralLadyTarot]

Ha! I get what you mean. That’s why I colored in my deck, initially! But now this version is growing on me
