Tarot of the Abyss by Ana Tourian ~ Walkthrough and First Impressions

[@anatourian8084]

Hi Simon! Thank you so much, this was a surprise. I'm so happy to see you got the deck and connected with it. You're right, some of the images were shared in the facebook group. There is one little secret too, not in the book. Do you recall, in the 3 of swords how the young woman is letting the bird fly out? Well, with time, it came back in the 9 of Pentacles. She's older and wiser now, still it remembered her.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Oh wow! I love that, just dug out the card 😍

[@SunshineDawn7]

@@the_hermits_cave I love that too ! So much ! Ana is such a lovely soul and it really shows in her Beautiful art 💘

[@0britelite0]

This is my favorite deck I own! I reach for it every single day! I feel as if it’s my soul deck!

[@the_hermits_cave]

I can see why

[@nadia_margaret_3458]

Beautiful stunning artwork! It is beautifully drawn and I enjoy the black and white style. 🖤🧡 She was able to capture the emotions and feelings in each card without taking away from the meanings. This deck really speaks to me. Love your walkthroughs Simon. Thanks for sharing xoxo

[@the_hermits_cave]

Completely agree with your points. Thank you for your kind words too 🙏🏼❤️

[@jamieloom22]

Ana's artwork is so powerful, she really captures the spirit of tarot.

[@tinapolley9073]

I love that we have choices between what cards speak to us. The choice is nearly impossible for me. Lol In all humbleness this deck brought me to tears.

[@tinapolley9073]

I am obsessed with her art. This is amazing! I love bone stone and earth flesh but I think this one I love even more!

[@carolin-tarot]

Thank you so much, i love the way you explain the cards in this calm and deep way, i enjoyed listening and was drawn into this card-universe and their meanings as you interpreted it, just pure enjoyment and learned something, namaste

[@the_hermits_cave]

You are so welcome, pleased you found it helpful 🙏🏼❤️

[@golden1789]

I had a very emotional response to this deck. I also want to thank you for your calming voice and wonderful comments. Your videos are helping me through very bad depression, panic attacks and yet having to keep going dealing with some very stressful things. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@the_hermits_cave]

🙏🏻❤️

[@skeingamepodcast5993]

I just bought this deck today on a whim and I'm SO excited. The art is just gorgeous and the cards have a certain kind of power when I'm shuffling. I think I'm going to leave all the cards together and let whatever version of the 3 and 10 come out as the universe sees fit.

[@golden1789]

I have just bought the deck and I had the same thought...

[@cxs69]

Bought this the other day and it's already a top 3 favorite of mine, I felt instantly connected with it.

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s a wonderful deck for sure 😍

I didn’t think I needed this deck, but after watching this, OMG I DO NEED IT 😍😍😍😍

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s a very special deck

[@sammiecheco6239]

This is such a gorgeous deck… I really really resonate with this one. I wish I were able to shuffle it a little easier but I’m definitely happy with the quality of the card stock.

[@tamipie]

Try shuffling face-up...easier to break it in that way.

[@metallicleoraa]

Nicest deck I’ve seen in a long time!

[@din2a]

I am so happy I own this deck. I see deep through it and easily dive into the meanings. The biggest benefit of the it is colorless! I love it.

[@truthinshadowdeed925]

First of all thank you for a beautiful walkthrough. This deck is stunning and powerful. I'm so happy it's done in monochrome showing duality the light and shadow like in the 10 of wands carrying a heavy load but you clearly see he is coming out of the dark and into the light. I love every single card in this deck even the alternative cards. I'm just blown away. Yes I just ordered it.

[@the_hermits_cave]

It really is a very special deck 😍

[@LoriTriesLife]

I've had this deck for some time and still I'm at the edge of my seat with each turn of the card! Such a brilliant and emotive deck! Cannot say enough about it. Love the b&w. I don't think it would affect as much in color. Love!

[@simplyjanet]

This is the first I watched this I have wanted this deck since Ana was creating it and today watching your presentation made me go and purchase it. Finally!! Thank you for the final nudge.

[@the_hermits_cave]

You are so welcome! 😍

[@nancy-acronesintuition4614]

I must order this one Simon. I’ll get the US Games edition. It was fun looking through this beautiful deck with you! Thank you

[@heidididwhat]

I’ve been working with this deck for the last month. Usually I cycle decks every week, but I’ve connected so well with this deck I don’t want to put it up. I hope you’re taking good care of yourself!❤️

[@the_hermits_cave]

I think this will be on my table for quite sometime. I’m doing good, hope you are too 🙏🏼❤️

[@JensBalancedTarot]

I really enjoyed watching you walk through this deck. This is also a recent favorite of mine. I LOVE it! But you definitely noticed a couple of things I hadn’t yet. Enjoy it! 🥰

[@ElementalCartomancy]

Fantastic walkthrough Simon I loved heading your thoughts. Ana is such a stunning artist isn't she. She has to be my favourite artist in our sphere. Thanks for this amazing video 🥰 x

[@the_hermits_cave]

Oh she sure is. A lovely person to go with it too. Even her writing is wonderful. Thanks for watching my friend. I can watch yours now 😆

[@deniseyoung8157]

What a stunner Simon the Art work really reaches into your soul and I always love hearing your thoughts with the walkthrough.Thought the Emperor looked like the Greek God Pan and the infinity twist on the 2 Cups is the same shape of the Pounamu Maori Greenstone designs and represents the connection between two humans,companionship, romantic relationship,or kinship.The Runes on the 5 cups fantastic,Dagaz-Enlightment,human frailty,Eihwaz-Transformation and Gebo-choice and sacrifice.Wow I watched your walkthrough 3 times,and of course rushed of and ordered,Very inspiring can’t wait to read the Companion Book.See this as a No.1 favourite.👏♥️🌈🥰🙏🏻

[@the_hermits_cave]

Enjoy your new deck Denise, it’s very special 🙏🏼❤️

[@kyleliz7807]

This is a deck for gazing. There is so much to see -- and imagine -- in the images. The traditional 10 of Swords, whoa! The man walking toward the man on the ground is carrying a sword in his right hand. Is the impaled man raising his hand to plead for help, or to ward him off? You might need more than on backup of this one 😊

[@shaneem818]

Glad it finally arrived. I'm generally not a b/w deck person, they generally do not appeal to me but this deck is sooooo different and I do enjoy reading with it or just sitting down and spending moments one card at a time.

[@the_hermits_cave]

Because of the intricacy of the beautiful line work, it stands out head and shoulders above the others IMO ❤️❤️

[@shaneem818]

@@the_hermits_cave I agree

[@phoebecasin]

I’m so happy you already have this, Simon! Ana’s work is stunning, profound, and powerful. Fave cards are Strength and The Lovers! I’m gifting a copy to my best friend. ✨

[@the_hermits_cave]

What a lovely gift for someone 😍

[@kssgpv]

I just ordered it today♥️, i was waiting for a month to be available in bookdepository.. omg the anxiety, i would check everyday if they had brought it back on stock. I think it's my favorite deck of all times and i still haven't got it in my hands. I wish i could thank personally miss Tourian for her hard work💖 it really means so much to some of us.

[@EmmaGaywood]

Got my copy today too, so exciting and the Oracle of Echoes is pairing beautifully with it so far 😍

I ordered this from Amazon on 27th June. It finally arrived this evening and now yours has too 🤣 Just… wow. The wait was frustrating but so worth it. Blessings to you 🌻

[@the_hermits_cave]

Completely agree

[@darkfaetarot]

Hi Simon. It’s not just the UK, it’s also the EU27 which has led to a lot of confusion. We also have had issues with Tarot of Mystical Moments which only became available a few weeks ago. There are also other titles which are unavailable here or slowly trickling in… Quite frustrating at times. Thank you for your review.

[@danni8176]

My deck had shipped but still not arrived! This has got me feeling all the feels. Wow just wow. 🖤

[@the_hermits_cave]

It’s incredible!

[@thewanderingstar7656]

What a gorgeous deck simon I love it. In major the strength and the star card I like it actually majors are good most of. Thankyou simon for sharing never heard of 😊

[@ThestarryeyedHermit]

Oh my goodness this deck is breathtaking, my copy arrived this morning and it feels like a real breath of fresh air I haven’t felt with a new deck in a little while (in the sense that it’s giving me the feeling of being at the start all over again). choosing which of the alternative cards to put in was a tough decision but I eventually landed on keeping the trad 3 in (partly due to Ana’s comment on this vid) and the alt version of the 10. I can’t wait to sit down and get to know this deck !! 🌲🫀🌲

[@andreasplosky8516]

I'd buy a colored version of this deck.

[@Ejcfarley]

Yay it arrived! I love this deck so much. I haven't got it yet but it is on my list of course. ❤️ Hopefully I will get it soon. I was wondering if. you could share the email address for the seller of the Pam A, B, C, and D Tarots that were on MPC - I would love to get a Pam A. Thank you so much 🙏 Xx

[@the_hermits_cave]

I can’t at the moment as there is a dispute over consent. 🙏🏼❤️

[@ghettocountry8678]

Now those are my style of cards, those are just ah...I can't wait to get my next new deck, but I'm not sure what I want yet I've been thinking of the occult tarot but I would like to see a new revelations tarot like the old school cards, not those new colorful ones that are modern I'm talking about the very old revelation tarot but it goes for like thousands of dollars so it's just out of my league.
