Hello, Mascha. Many thanks for this VR. I loved it. What a great tribute to your pets! The Visconti Bambrilla is a true treasure for the eyes! 😍 and also the Greenie Thoth! WOW! 🥰 Yes, I remember you liked the turquoise color from my Dodal 😉. Thank you! The Tarot of the Holy Light is really beautiful 🤩. Noblet! Loooove it! 💖 Those sounds! My goodness! 🥰 You were very fortunate to have contact with Yoav Ben-Dov. I'm very happy for you! It's great to see that we agree in several categories 🥰 Hugs from Spain

[@musingsbymascha]

Hola César! Thank YOU for creating this amazing tag and for inviting me to play along! I had much fun doing this VR to you! 🙏💛 Yeah, I was so fortunate to view (and touch even though wearing gloves) the original Brambilla and Sola Busca last year in Milan! Definitely an unforgettable experience for me. 🤩 While I have hopes to become better at Thoth (and I love it), Tarot of the Holy Light is way above me! 🤣 I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed this video, César! Wishing you a wonderful weekend! 🤗

[@musingsbymascha]

Hello, dear Ann! 🤗 It's so lovely to hear from you! 😻Thank you for stopping by! 🙏💛 Have you noticed which of my decks ended up finding a safe home in your beautiful handmade floral pouch? 🥰 Oooooh, you went shopping after watching Cesar's video ?? 🛒🛒I'm dying to know which deck you have ordered!!! 😍🧐Please, I need to know, otherwise I won't sleep! xx

[@TheMiewmiew]

@@musingsbymascha 🤣🤣Hello dear Mascha......I'm pretty sure you can guess the deck I ordered! ....Swiss Marseille tarot. Cesar's enthusiasm for the deck totally won me over! the colour,clean lines and card stock were just too delicious for me to pass over! Now I am back from my holiday I shall look forward to again joining in with your Top Trumps series ! Thank you for all your wonderful videos, hugs ❣😊 Hope you can now sleep well tonight🤣🤣 Oh! your Buddha tarot looks wonderful in the floral pouch 👏👏

[@musingsbymascha]

@@TheMiewmiew LOL! I'm still holding strong on the Swiss Marseille, Ann! 🤭Probably because I'm having such a strong love affair with my Marseille Tarots from Marco!🥰🥰 How was your holiday?💖 It's such a joy to see you back here, Ann!😻 Yes, that larger edition of the Buddha Tarot feels the right choice for the floral pouch at the moment!🌸🧘‍♀🏵

[@novamunditarot]

Oh my oh my another mouth watering video 🤤your own deck is so beautiful and touching. Also the story about Yoav Ben Dov was really touching, I can imagine how dear that CBD is to you ❤‍🔥thanks Mascha I enjoyed watching this video so much 🙏🏻🩵

[@musingsbymascha]

Thank you, dear! 😘🙏❤️ Yeah, I also was drooling a bit when watching your VR! 🤤😊 CBD is certainly very special to me.. it is an ongoing pattern that my most precious meaningful tarot decks happens to be strongly connected to my personal exchanges with their makers/creators..💕

[@AntoinetteTarot]

Thank you Dear Mascha, this was lovely to hear your picks & reasons. The pip speak is such a pretty looking deck 💛🌞🌻

[@musingsbymascha]

[@TheCreatrixWay]

I have the app for the Tarot of the holy light, but it goes over my head! hahaha it has so much esoteric symbology that I feel I'd need a decade just to start understanding it 😅😂

[@musingsbymascha]

Right? 🤣🤣 I’m with you on this one! 🥰

[@mironalexandra4602]

[@ZoeysTarotReviews]

Hello Mascha! I found you from Gigi Starling. What a great story about your first tarot deck. Your personal deck is beautiful. ❤

[@musingsbymascha]

Aww, thank you, dear Zoey and welcome to my little channel! 🤗🙏💛

[@HoneyLouWilson]

I need some Marco decks! I still plan to get the Visconti homage it’s taking me longer than expected but I just love seeing it! Love all his decks.

[@musingsbymascha]

Oh, you’ll love Marco’s decks, @HoneyLouWilson! 🥰 Every deck I have from him is incredible and yes, the Visconti Homage is extra special! 😍 But out of the historic ones from Marco, I’m currently obsessed with the Madenie and the Rolichon! Thank you for stopping by, lovely! 🤗🙏💛

[@toadstooltarot]

Beautifully photographed. Stunning colors. And I particularly loved your stories.

[@musingsbymascha]

Thank you SO much for being here and for such a kind comment, dear Robin! 🙏💛 I'm so glad you enjoyed this.🥰 How have you been? 🤗

[@papermoontarot4219]

I got the mass market Visconti Sforza and hated the shiny cardboardy cardstock--would love to have an edition with great cardstock. I got the Greenie about 54 years ago on a whim as a teen but never really used it. It's worn not from use but because I carried it with me over about 25 moves through the years for some reason; it's missing about 6 cards, sadly! My best overall deck is probably Dream Vision 2nd ed. with beautiful colors and art, lovely cardstock, beautiful blue gilding, and smaller, taller card shape which I love. Thanks for sharing your choices and lovely decks, Mascha! 🥰

[@musingsbymascha]

Well, I know Marco has a handmade version of the Visconti Sforza now… ☺️ But I actually like the mass-market one from the US Games though. It’s such a pity your Greenie is missing 6 cards, Nancy, but what a great memory token it must be for you though! 🩵 And I of course had to google the Dream Vision Tarot..🤭 Thank you for being here, my friend! 😘🙏💛

[@TheCreatrixWay]

Hi Masha! another great video! OMG, you have the most beautiful vintage decks! It is always such a joy and delight to watch your decks so thank you so much for sharing them! 🥰

[@musingsbymascha]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support, dear Luna! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed seeing my selection of decks! 🤗🙏🩵

[@wren1019]

what fun! i love my hes deck too. i must agree about the "happy faces" in that deck and the "gentle faces" in madenie (which you know i looooove). your pets are gorgeous! my daughter gave me the noir (welll, i asked her to do so when she asked me what i would like for a gift) and i have loved that deck from first sight. i must say that the first edition is the one which is impossible to shuffle, but the second edition is much easier if you side riffle shuffle it. i have never taken a liking to the thoth tarot or the system, but i cannot say that i hate it. wow, "the best". an impossible question to answer .💙

[@musingsbymascha]

Well, the BEST overall wasn’t an easy question, so I had to break it down for myself to work it out! 🥰 But I did have 5 tarots in mind that could have easily been ranked my Best! 😎 Oh, have the first edition of Tarot Noir and while it’s large and thick, it’s absolutely striking! 🤩 I’d be curious to hear what tarots would be most deserving contenders for THE Best Overall for you, dear Wren ?? 🧐 Thank you so much for being here! 🙏💛

[@annasmith6651]

I am so enjoying the thoroughness which every presenter is showing in this tag. So good and helpful! And thanks so much for listing all these 21 questions above. One query I couldn't quite hear the answer to your number 17 (the most surprising deck). Visconti Homage?? Is it still available?

[@musingsbymascha]

Hi Anna! Thank you for stopping by and for your comment! 🤗🙏💛 It’s so great to see you here! I’m very happy to hear you are enjoying this tag!🥰 Yes! You’re correct! My most surprising (in the best possible way) deck is the Visconti Homage handmade in Rome by Marco Benedetti! It’s become one of THE most special tarots to me! ❤️ Because it’s hand crafted, it may take a little time to be made, but yes, you can order it directly from Marco through his Facebook page: facebook.com/Marco.C.Benedetti.Tarot I hope this helps. 🤗💛

[@annasmith6651]

Thanks so much for this info. 🤩🌺

[@musingsbymascha]

@@annasmith6651 of course, Anna! 🤗💛

[@InnerMagpie]

Mascha, I have a Marseille book by Anna Morsucci, but she has a new book out. Do you know if it is just an update? The new one came out in December 2023. Tarot of Marseille: A Guide to Interpretation.

[@musingsbymascha]

I was wondering the same thing! 🤔 I have her ‘yellow’ book and have seen online the new ‘blue’ one was released. It maybe worth messaging the publisher.. 🧐

[@HoneyLouWilson]

I need me a payen!

[@musingsbymascha]

But WHICH Payen though? 🧐😎

[@HoneyLouWilson]

@@musingsbymascha im leaning towards the payen over at kartograme.

[@JeffM---]

Thank you, Mascha. My favourite decks are the TdM, before the more recent interpretation of the Golden Dawn and the changes they made to fit in their esoteric correspondences . I have the Thoth deck which I got around 40 years ago. The amazing imagery painted by Lady Freda Harris are awesome. However, it is tainted for me because Crowley was a child sacrificing monster, paedophile and Satanist who considered adolescent boys as the best energy to sacrifice for his magical rituals. Look it up.

[@musingsbymascha]

Hi Jeff, Thank you for stopping by! 🙏😊 Yeah, my preferences for most part lie in the earlier Italian tarots and later TdM. 🥰 With Thoth tarot though, I don’t attach the man to the beautiful art..
