Tarot of Echoes ~ First Look at this INCREDIBLE Deck!

[@ceejayblack6150]

Thank you sooo much for taking your time so we can ACTUALLY see and appreciate the cards.

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re very welcome ☺️

[@jamieloom22]

Ana is not only a brilliant artist, she is a true tarot master.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Agree wholeheartedly 💯

[@kssgpv]

I'm so thankful for the mass production because i can't afford this version.. Ana Tourian is one of my favorite artists, exciting times💖

[@HypnoPol1499]

As you said "Everyone deserves this deck". The artistry is sheer essence of beauty and importantly what Ana Tourian does is 'illustrate' the 'meanings' of the cards. Many recent decks are just 'portraits', even for the Minors, including the very recent one that everyone is raving about. I adore Tourian's work and this deck is exceptional - every single image but one that took my breath away was the 8 of Cups with the two symbolic landscapes that 'illustrate' the meanings in a soulful expression. Only one thing I would beg her to change is to replace the banners that intrude and conceal - the exquisite flower of the fool covered up, to give one example - with just printed hand-writing. I can't wait to explore this Tarot journey that Tourian has created for us all.

[@donnarion1147]

This may just be the most stunning deck I've ever seen! Wow! Not very original words, but what else can you say to describe something so outside of and above the ordinary?!? The Empress and the World card both struck me as the Shekinah. Beautiful. I was admiring the Tower card as a stag rearing up when you said "tree". I'm sure you're right, but look at it and see if you can see the stag. Five of Swords - the aftermath of a pyrrhic victory? Regret at winning at too high a price? I'll stop, but like you I'm really overwhelmed not just by the sheer beauty and brilliance of this deck, but by Ana's ineffable energy that comes shining through every card. Thank you a million times for this walk-through. Love, Donna

[@the_hermits_cave]

Oh yes! That’s very interesting! I agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts on this incredibly beautiful deck 😍

[@kristag9891]

Really beautiful. Thank you for the caring, gentle thorough introduction. I wasn't away of this deck and will now plan to purchase. Happy day!

[@the_hermits_cave]

You are so welcome! 😍

[@marie-francemercier7800]

This deck is absolutely gorgeous and the images are so profound. I pre-ordered my copy last week on Anna Tourian’s site and I can’t wait to receive it. ❤ Blessings and thank you Simon for another awesome review! 🎉😊

[@the_hermits_cave]

Wonderful. Hope you enjoy it! 😍

[@hannahberg3251]

Thanks for showing this deck! Absolutely gorgeous. I'm usually very cautious about acquiring new decks, but I know that I'd use this regularly!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Glad it was helpful! 😍

[@NiVinny]

Thank you! I'm waiting for the evening to start watching! The artist is simply magnificent!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It really is!

[@musingsbymascha]

Watching this, I felt SO much excitement from you, Simon! What a treat it has been to be a part of this early viewing of the advanced copy of the Tarot of Echoes on your channel! Ana is SO talented! OOOOOHHHH! Did I hear a drop/ a mention/ a hint for the 'Soul Deck'? xx

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s certainly a contender!! Yes, Ana is so lovely and I can’t wait to chat to her on Saturday! Thanks for watching, lovely ☺️

[@musingsbymascha]

@@the_hermits_cave I’ll make sure to set my morning alarm for this! ⏰😻

[@elspeth6807]

Now I’ve seen the walk through in full, my heart is still singing! I have never seen a deck that resonated with me so much instantly! This is definitely a deck I will be looking to get when I can. The messages are so clear.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Agree 💯

[@KellieatLarge]

Wow. Just WOW. This is even more stunning than I expected - and I expected a lot. I cannot wait to get my hands on it. Thank you for this video, it made my day.

[@the_hermits_cave]

I couldn’t agree more 😍

[@annerobinson2288]

Wonderful deck and talent she has. And your walk throughs are always so compelling. Thank you.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@ElfandTarot]

Gorgeous, stunning, i LOVE it!!! 😍 Ana is an incredible artist and i love all het decks. I pre ordered it two weeks ago and i can't wait, so excited i am 😄 Thanks for sharing Simon!

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re so welcome. I agree with you totally 😍

Stunning deck, simply exquisite!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 🌹💖✨🌺✌️

[@simplytarot4563]

Thanks for sharing this stunning deck, Simon! I pre ordered this without seeing any cards, I just love Ana’s art.

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@Rootedintherealms]

I pre ordered this deck as soon as it was available. I love all of Ana's work!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Hope you enjoy it! I love her work too! 😍

[@Rootedintherealms]

I'm so glad to see your review. I love it so much and have been so excited. As well as you I have been watching this along the way come to life on instagram. I'm so glad I also have her oracle of echoes and am so excited to work with both togther! Have an amazing week love!❤️

[@OakRaven]

What a beautiful deck. I think this deck will be my tarot deck splurge for the year - with the exchange rate and postage it's double what I would normally pay for a deck. However while you were doing your walk though the cards called to me, the art work is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing and doing your honest reviews Simon

[@the_hermits_cave]

You are so welcome. It’s incredible isn’t it? 😍

[@forestforthetreestarot]

YOU had me at the Fool!! Preordering!!!! Thank you Simon! Happy 2024!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Enjoy ☺️

[@Marilyns_Musings_and_Tarot]

Beyond beautiful...each card is so moving. Lovely, lovely deck. On my wish list.

[@the_hermits_cave]

It really is! 😍

[@andreacaldwell2764]

Chuckle I’m chuckling because I had the same difficultly getting my box open too! Such a stunning deck. So earthy ❤💚 and emotive.

[@onenessemporium]

So glad I pre ordered this. Its stunning

[@the_hermits_cave]

Isn’t it??!!

[@moondaisylamoreaux8791]

I really enjoy her interpretation of the cards! It's not the same old, same old. And her artwork is lovely. Thank you for this. I also love how excited you were ❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

You are so welcome! It’s become an instant favourite 😍

[@artistsandoracles]

Thank you for this heartfelt Walkthrough, Simon. I was just debating today over whether I should preorder this deck or wait as I too love and often use Oracle of Echoes. Also, you’ve convinced me. I’ll be very sad to miss out on the Indi version of this soon to be iconic deck. 🙏🏼🌎✨

[@the_hermits_cave]

I don’t think you’ll regret it at all.

[@jocelynecosta3444]

Such beauty took my breath away. Definitely a must have and I doubt i will wait for the mass market version! Thank you for sharing Simon.

[@the_hermits_cave]

You are so welcome! 😍

[@deborahflitcroft2404]

Thanks SO much for this video, Simon! I had no idea it was available for pre-order. I absolutely adore Ana's work. I didn't get to the end of the majors before dashing to her page to place my order. I am thrilled to be getting a tarot deck to work with alongside the Oracle of Echoes. Thanks, Simon 🥰

[@the_hermits_cave]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@kathymamolenpsychicmedium]

Thanks for sharing, just ordered! So beautiful!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Enjoy! I’m sure you’ll love it 🥰

[@febeluna3679]

Qué BELLEZAAAA !!! Esta artista es maravillosa !!! Muchas gracias por mostrarlo. Calculo que ha de ser un tarot de gran precio, pero tal vez con el tiempo no sea tan caro y lo pueda adquirir... No sé si lo usaría porque es TAN bonito que me dará pena que lo toquen manos ajenas... Gracias, gracias, gracias !

[@hudsonvalleytarot]

It's great news that it will be picked up by USGames! I'm very much looking forward to receiving mine. Now more than ever. I love how she has such unique perspectives on many of the cards. LOVE that Empress! The Star card is magical. I see those links as those paper chains we often made as kids. To me that shows how we are all connected. Thank you for the great walk through Simon!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s very exciting indeed 😍

[@kerripowell-holistic_lifecoach]

I'd ordered it after you showed the first 10 cards! There goes 'No buy January' Thank you! 😍

The moon absolutely gorgeous and the Sun reminds me of a phoenix rising up from the ashes ❤❤❤ gotta find room for this deck it just may be my souls deck gear balance in these cards !

[@the_hermits_cave]

I think this deck needs to be in everyone’s collection. I don’t say that often 😍

[@rehfeldttw]

So glad that i ordered as soon as the campaign start. Can’t wait to have a copy of my own. Thanks for sharing Simon.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Hope you enjoy it! It’s stunning!

[@RowanStarMoonstone]

These are beautiful, Simon. There are definitely rune symbols around the wheel of fortune. I know very little about Tarot, being more of an Oracle girl, but just WOW! Blessings x

[@BarbaraRuth202]

This is a truly gorgeous and very special deck. So beautiful and 'deep'? Thank you for your wonderful and joyous walk through and comments Simon. I'm sure this deck will bring you and all who own it much joy! X🙏🏻😍💕

[@the_hermits_cave]

Thank you for watching, so pleased you,like it 😍

[@punkitten2456]

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful review of an incredible deck we are fortunate enough to be able to preorder this month! I have always been heartbroken that I missed out on the independent release of the oracle of echoes and was thrilled it was picked up for Mass Market release US Games. I am just as excited that the tarot is also being picked up. I will enthusiastically purchase both the independent and MM in order to get the guidebook.

[@the_hermits_cave]

You are so welcome! And me too!

Gorgeous deck !! 😍 Ana art is warming and emphatic with a colorful touches 💕✨

Oh my goodness, it’s fantastic! I preordered and really look forward to getting it! It may very well become my favorite! Ana is a visionary!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Agree completely! 😍

[@merrimate]

So happy you got this early and posted this review, Simon, thank you! A few of the cards were a surprise, first sight for me even though I’ve looked at every image I could find online! I pre-ordered this a couple of weeks ago, and am so looking forward to it that I was shopping for a bag for it yesterday! 😁

[@the_hermits_cave]

My pleasure! I’m sure you’ll love it 😊

[@lesliekellar3478]

Thank you Simon for the walk through! I “Echo” all the other comments as this deck is absolutely stunning! I am wondering what your take on the 5 of Swords might be?? I have never seen that card depicted in such a way, and without the guidebook currently I was hoping for some interpretations from you or your audience! Thank you again for another beautiful video!!

[@the_hermits_cave]

Stay tuned for Saturday!

[@aftonwithazed]

This is stunning. I told myself I was going to wait for the May pre-order to give my credit card a break, but now I don't know if I can wait that long!

[@the_hermits_cave]

There another pre-order in May?

[@aftonwithazed]

@@the_hermits_cave Yes, she said in her newsletter announcing the deck that she would do one more pre-order in May before it goes mass market.

Me too! I’m thrilled to own it 😍

[@tamipie]

Of course it's a stunner... we knew it would be.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Right?!!

[@belindachambers7585]

That King of Cups! Placed my first order for 24 and I am resolved it will be one of only VERY FEW this year. Realise I really buy decks for Art, poetry and psychology- thank you for great unboxing- love your excitement- and Joy for Tarot❤

[@the_hermits_cave]

Enjoy ☺️

[@lacmalince1652]

I don't miss any deck by Ana Tourian. I can't wait for the orders to go out. With the Emperor and Empress cards, it looks like she's part of the cosmos and he's part of the earth. This deck is her most gorgeous one to date! And this is coming from an Arthurian legend fanatic. I live in the states and ended up ordering that one from 2 different places to make sure I could get it. The Moon card I think is my favorite Moon card ever. Amazing deck!

[@the_hermits_cave]

It really is a very special deck. Enjoy ☺️

Hi Simon! Did you say oracle of echoes is coming out mass market as well at some point?

[@onenessemporium]

It's due out at the end of the year as well as Bonestone 😊

[@the_hermits_cave]

Sure is!

[@feleciawimsatt]

Awesome! I love her artwork and I love guidebooks, I have bonestone and tarot of the abyss and the I love it! So awesome!

[@n1ckypreston]

Seen this deck as she was creating it. Gorgeous artwork and lovely creator! However you said the card stock is the same as oracle of echoes which is a shame as I was very disappointed as it’s very thin card from make playing cards .

[@the_hermits_cave]

Ah I love MPC card stock, one of my favourites 😍

[@RoseTarotRealm]

Gosh, this is breathtaking 😮🥰🥰🥰

[@the_hermits_cave]

Agree 💯

[@Tarot_und_Zahlenmagie]

Wow wow wow 😍 This deck is definitely a "must have". Unfortunately I cannot pre-order it, because she/they do not deliver to Germany. So the good news is, that I just have to wait a little bit longer than anybody else (😭😭😭) and then I can buy it as massmarket.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Ah that’s a shame

[@Tarot_und_Zahlenmagie]

Absolutely! We are just a bit later happy and the anticipation is longer 🥳 In general when you buy decks on a regular basis from around the world the shipping and tax costs are really a lot and each time I have to think about if its worth it. Sometimes I found/find my wanted deck in shops from European retailers, f.e. I bought in France and I often actually buy in the Netherlands. Ok, this is whining on a high level as we say here ☺️🤣

[@sabine881]

​@@SunTurtleI live in the Netherlands and I have pre ordered this deck. I have ordered decks from Ana before without any problem.

[@SunTurtle]

@@sabine881 I had a brain fart, lol. What I meant to say was that I lived in the Netherlands but now live in Germany but it came out wrong haha.

My first impressions are Wheel of Time. Not sure why. The Magician feels very Aes Sedai.

[@annerobinson2288]

Hello Simon. I know this is off topic but I am not sure you would answer comments that go way back. My question is about the "thick" Roses and Lillies by Conrad Steyn. Is the thick version the size of the actual original? That's it. I'm trying to decide which R and L to purchase and hope you can help me by answering this question. Thanks so much for your expertise. Anne

[@the_hermits_cave]

I don’t have the original to compare sadly. I just know that MPC offer a thicker card stock

[@annerobinson2288]

My "B" is normal tarot size. I wonder why MPC made thicker ones. something for everyone as you've said? Thanks for your reply. Do you like the thicker deck? Why did you buy the thick ones as well? @@the_hermits_cave

[@debbiereigate705]

It’s beautiful but there’s a few cards I’m not keen on. Having the empress as an eye….I would struggle to interpret that as empress archetype and meaning, it doesn’t make sense. The Hierophant I read as the meaning of the Hermit , so that would confuse me. There were a few others too which would stop me buying this deck. Overall it’s beautiful but I’m frustrated when there’s a few cards that don’t make sense to me.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]
