The Gentle Tarot Walkthrough - A Deep Dive

[@burnandrise.]

Dearest Lisa!! Your unboxing had me laughing and crying and smiling so much. I can't tell you how amazing/unreal it is to see and feel someone totally connect and understand a creative endeavor that feels like it created itself. Like the communication, intention, and the connection has been made and the channel is flowing crystal clear! (channel of water!) :) THANK YOU so much!! I am so happy that The Gentle Tarot made it passed your Anti-Haul. ❤️ I poured my heart and soul into this deck, with so much love for all of us on our journeys. I hope that everyone called to this deck is able to work with it. Thank you again for sharing! Every bit of exposure helps this deck get to where it needs to be. SO much love for you dear heart!! ❤️ xxoo Mari P.S. I am very much open to constructive criticism as well. Just finishing up the full-size color guidebook now. 🥰

Mariza ! I love your deck ! And in fact I am currently using it with Lisa's book ! (She wrote promts in it !) I will order your color guidebook and I would like a minideck (so I can bring it everywhere I go) and an oracle with animals and plants that we see in this deck (or anything you would like to share!) Thank you for your amazing creation and also I am very happy to see Lisa presenting it ! I was a little sad when I saw the anti-haul ! 🍁😊🦋🤩

[@burnandrise.]

@@louloudark1651 Thank you so much Loulou! Happy to hear you're loving it! Yes, I really can't wait to be finished with this guidebook and I'm pretty excited about the pocket deck too 😊 Thanks for joining me on this journey!

[@1985bjaycat]

I just watched her review and I bought your deck today. It's incredible. I have my heart in my throat over it. It's just amazing. Lisa did a fantastic job describing it too.

[@Lisa_Papez]

I don't know how - but I managed to miss ALL the comments on this video..... sorry it took me a bit to see this but thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so glad you're pleased with the walkthrough. This deck has been SUCH an absolute joy - balm to the soul. I'm so grateful for what you've created and I just can't wait to see the full size guidebook!!!!!

[@storytimethewrightway3954]

This walk through made me purchase half way through. Beautiful deck, beautifully written and perfect walk through. Thanks to both of you.

[@Follow-Your-Star]

Omg, ok this is a great deck, but Lisa: wow! You are so gifted at interpreting, describing cards, seeing the depth behind and below them and bringing those cards to life! This walk-through blows me away, YOU are so talented! Thank so much for your powerful insights about this deck 🙏🙏🙏

[@Lisa_Papez]

Thank you so much!!!!

Female reindeer have antlers. In fact, Santa's reindeer have to be all female because males have shed their antlers by Christmas.

I did not know this!!! 😲

[@quantquill]

I'm saving this video because I know I'll want to rewatch as I start workign with my Gentle Tarot deck. I backed it on KS and love it, and love the guidebook, yet your walkthroughs bring out so much more, the richness and depth you find in each card! Seriously, not only did I have goosebumps several times, but my eyes flooded with tears, which has never happened. So glad this deck found its way to you.

[@peaseblossom4252]

I absolutely adore my Gentle Tarot deck. It hones in on the exact message I need, especially if I’m struggling. I call it my Universe deck, because it feels like a direct voice from the Universe to my soul-I use it nearly daily. And it’s just beautiful. Plus the guidebook book is amazing. This is a deck I couldn’t be without, since that’s been a trend on Tarot Tube. Great walkthrough-love hearing your intuitive take on the cards. Blessings. :)

[@burnandrise.]

Thank you so much for the love! You are making my eyes water over here. So thankful for you and for your experience. Blessings and so much LOVE all around ❤️ Mari

[@lisastevens3104]

Beautiful. Thank you for checking the guidebook. I appreciate your curiosity it provided so much clarity and a real glimpse into the meaning of the deck. Major FOMO right now! Please never hesitate to check the book when you are doing a review, it added so much value. ❤️

[@whitefeathertarot]

I love this deck, thank you Mari for this ❤️❤️🙏🙏 Would love to get it, will be saving for it 😊💗 And Lisa I always love your interpretation of the cards, you are truly gifted 💗

[@lesf98]

Lisa, What a great video! I am in deep love with this deck. My husband just got this for me for my birthday and I can't wait to get my hands on it. These videos are always wonderful. You are a lot of fun to hang out with. Your interpretation and perspective is spot on and always appreciated. Thank you for your time and wisdom. Much love, light, and many blessings to you and Peggy.

[@cordeliasbs32]

I love your walkthroughs but had no intention of getting this deck. Until you uncovered the death card and the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Gorgeous deck and your interpretation is insightful as always.

[@ProjectRefinedLife]

I love this deck so much, this is the only deck that I have ever ordered a back up copy of.

[@burnandrise.]

You are so sweet. Thank you!! ❤️ xxoo Mari

[@lalunaesamor8425]

Oh WOOOW this guidebook is absolutely rich with yummy nuggets of wisdom. I wasn't sure how I felt about this deck but your walkthrough has helped solidify that I want it. I work very closely with my guidebooks too because I feel it helps me build a better connection with my decks, so if the guidebook isn't comprehensive and chunky then it tends to be a deal breaker for me and this one REALLY speaks to me. I can see myself using it to communicate with my ancestors; I feel the messages in the guidebook are so comforting yet illuminating while also providing realistic and practical advice. I have decks where the meanings in the guidebooks feel too fluffy with esoteric meaning that you lose that down to earth connection but this deck is sooo down to earth and I'm all about it!!! 🙌😍😊 tysm for this walkthrough Lisa!!!!

[@burnandrise.]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you! xxoo Mari

[@MichelleMontemayor]

I love this deck and use it for specific readings. I mainly use it for myself and love using it with the guidebook. So glad you got it Lisa!!

[@SalemElectro7]

I actually like this so much more than I thought I would. It’s really quite lovely and meaty. I dig the vibe. I love that the human figures are more representational in style than actually depicting a specific person type. The only card I don’t like is the lovers, but that’s not uncommon for me and it’s not a dealbreaker in this case. Death is an important card to me and I love the death card in this. I also really love that she numbered the court cards since that’s kind of how I think about them personally. The guidebook seems stellar too. I’m really impressed with this deck. I love your deep dive walkthroughs. Thanks so much for sharing this one, Lisa! ❤️

[@burnandrise.]

Hi love! Thank you so much for your feedback! Actually, the Lovers card is only card in the entire deck that was incomplete. Even for me, it felt like it was not in its final form and felt like a draft. I am planning to add an additional Lovers card option in the pocket deck coming out this summer, as well as an update in the Second Edition (when the time comes to print a Second Edition). Thank you so much for feeling the love in this deck. I appreciate your words so much. ❤️❤️❤️ xxoo Mari

[@Lisa_Papez]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@soulfullivingwithheather]

I'm watching this as I hope that the mysterious package showing up today is The Gentle Tarot. This deck is 😍. I'll come back to this video after I get mine! Thanks for sharing! Blessings! 💫💜💫

[@pilargonzalez8442]

Looove this deck, so well made, full of love and simple things that are much closer than most people think. Glad you got it too Lisa :-))))

[@carmenb9020]

I'm watching this review now Sunday January 28th, 2024. You absolutely sold me this deck. The cards & the description in the book you read & your personal view. ❤❤❤ Purchased!!! 😊 Thank you for this review

[@wordsinember]

This isn’t typically my style of deck and I don’t really have a connection to Alaska but I kinda love this deck and it feels so nurturing somehow. I really want this deck.

[@QueenAusetHeru]

This is a beautiful deck! I definitely need it 🥰

[@bronwynjen]

Thank you so much for this walk-through! I just received my copy and it is SUCH a special deck. It has a beautiful feeling, it’s really hard to describe the feelings I get when I use this deck, and I’ve only just started working with it!!! 🥰

[@TempestGetchell]

i don't know if it's energy or what, but this deck just feels and looks like it belongs in your hands. I hope you love it and can't wait to see you share more about it

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

I already ordered this deck but you made me connect again. I ordered a second deck. Your reaction was like a goosebumps heart hug.

[@elineeugenie5224]

Death as something new to settle into❤️💚💙💜☠️💚❤️❤️❤️oh my heart. Lisa you rock I like the figures too. It looks like these people, for a change, aren't aware of being seen, or they live beyond that, apart from it. Like you said, they're present. Edit: the 9 of Swords figure has no hair... The 10, does...😍

[@Pdkweathers]

I don’t know if you know about spinning fibers. Qiviut is the downy fiber from the Muskox. It is very, very soft, warm and is extremely strong. Qiviut cost about $48. an ounce.

[@Lisa_Papez]

I acutally spent some time spinning (drop spindle and kick-spindle) but hadn't encountered that fiber... I spun some wool, alpaca and silk..... such a cool bit of trivia - thank you for sharing!!

[@Ghost-yr8yb]

I love the colours in this one

[@1985bjaycat]

Lisa thanks for the review of this deck. Oh I can hardly wait for it to come in the mail. You did such a beautiful job describing it. You really understand it.

[@1985bjaycat]

It came yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the art and the edging! Urg I want this deck so bad!

excellent review of an amazing deck! Thank you 👍

Can't wait for the pocket edition and full guidebook to come out

[@K_Peck]

I always said I wanted to be a sea otter in my next life ever since I saw a wildlife show where a group of them were scampering up the back of a small iceberg and when they got to the top, they would get on their stomach and slide down the front of the iceberg and shooting off the end into the water just to climb out and do it all over again. Those animals know how to have fun. This deck is gorgeous and I love to listen to you go through decks because you are so good at reading the cards. I learn a lot from you on how to see things in cards that other people might not pick up on. When you went through the Tarot of Mystical Moments, I actually took notes on the things that you said to help me when I use that deck.

[@Lisa_Papez]

OMG i love that so much!!!

[@ceilidhpitaw]

Pouches would be medicine pouches for tobacco or other medicines to give an offering to the earth/animals

[@ceilidhpitaw]

We do this to communicate, pray or when we take something from the land like a gift, a plant, an animal, wood etc

[@Lisa_Papez]

Thank you SO much for sharing this with me! It adds so much beautiful context to the image!

[@ceilidhpitaw]

@@Lisa_Papez Thanks so much for this video!! I have been doing deep research about a tarot deck that really is align with our Indigenous identity & connections, and finally I found the one. You really brought great energy to it too. I ordered my deck!

[@tamipie]

Sooooo, I started looking at this because of the Hot takes (I think) I'm sold. Backing the pocket edition now. Thank you for enabling.

[@Lisa_Papez]

YAY!! I hope you love it!

[@NiamhCreates]

I backed the pocket version of this deck, but didn't add on the guidebook. Your video makes me wish I had added the guidebook lol.

[@theallisoncompendium]

I super love this deck. But it’s one of those where I really wish she’d gone with a glossy cardstock lol. My copy is kind of waxy in a way that seems to dull the images. The colors are soooo rich. I just find myself wishing they’d pop more. I’m really splitting hairs, though, because it is such a lovely deck.

[@burnandrise.]

Hi Allison! Just poppin in to let you know that this next batch of decks has an upgraded anti-scratch finish that is pretty amazing. It isn't glossy, still a matte, but much more smooth (slides so nicely over itself!) and not waxy at all. I'm actually offering cards-only for a super reduced priced to those who have already purchased the deck and would like a set of cards with the new finish. You can message me in Etsy and I'd me more than happy to send you a set when they arrive at the end of this month. :) SO happy to hear you love The Gentle Tarot. ❤️ Mari

[@Lisa_Papez]

@@burnandrise. OOooooooooh!!!! This is exciting!

[@theallisoncompendium]

I think the Queen of cups is a cormorant? I think it’s the same sea bird as whatever was in the Hierophant. But I could definitely be wrong lol

[@burnandrise.]

She's a sandhill crane! ❤️

@@burnandrise. yay thanks! 💕

Thank you for this!

Justice...for me it's pouches of seeds...

[@XmarjoleinX]

Which Oracle would you pair with this deck?

[@laynagilbert4450]

Can anyone recommend a deck for beginners that has colours for the majors and the suits? I think that would really help me :)

[@FR0STBL0D]

I mourn that the deck did neither choose to be a one gender deck nor manage to celebrate human diversity (especially while bending gender notions with the animals). Additionally there's only variation in body shape but very very few in body type. Sigh. So despite the really wonderful art, the depiction of so many animals I love (snowy fox, owl, whale, reindeer, salmon, crane, seal, weasel, crow/raven, ...) ... there's that ungentle disbalance for me ... that truly spoils the deck for me. Sigh. Maybe just another lovers cards would have prevented that. (How do you feel about the heteronormative roll-back in VI, Lisa ? Or: Why doesn't it bother you?) Fortunately... for me, there's a deck that has some similarities and certainly will work for me: Animal Woman.
