The Fountain Tarot Unboxing & Walkthrough

[@vi1256841jhahdf8f]

Dear Kelly, would you consider doing a revisit of this deck? I would love to hear your comments on how you have developed your relationship to the fountain and your perspectives. All the best!

[@zinzolin14]

I thought about this deck for a long time, watching all these reviews on it. I love the art style and controlled color palettes on each card. Few weeks ago I saw this deck at a book store and I finally decided to buy it yesterday. This is very much a stunning quality deck, and it was worth every cent. I'm excited to learn about this deck more, so I hope it'll work well for me.

[@bethallen7296]

Fast forward to 20 min to just see the cards

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

This deck gives me the strong feeling that I could be giving a reading and be sucked right into the card for a full body, idk what to call it "psychic vision/experience." I haven't worked with it nearly as much as I should. But I did some readings for myself which is so hard for many cards and was just amazing with this deck.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

The King of Cups literally reminds me of this business owner who used to be near me but he now only works in Chicago. He is an interior designer... The card makes me think of a very powerful, talented creative entrepreneur. The intersection of business and art.🤷🏼‍♀️

[@N1XSOUNDfx]

Just bought this deck. I bought it somewhat impulsively in a typical fire sign style.. but your display of these cards made me not regret my decision I can already tell this deck is going to resonate with me. Thanks for the video !

[@TheTruthinStory]

It’s a beautiful deck and one that I really think will last the test of time, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! Thank you so much for walking :)

[@larissa6245]

Thank you so much for this walkthrough. I love unboxing videos in general, but you could really sense how excited you were, which makes it even better to watch! This deck is gorgeous.

[@TheTruthinStory]

You're very welcome, thank you so much for watching :) I LOVE this deck so much, it truly is a beauty!

[@myrmidryad]

I've been on the fence about getting this deck, but after watching this, I'm sold. Thank you so much for putting up such a long, in-depth video showing every single card, and especially of how they shuffle! You're a gem!

[@TheTruthinStory]

Aw thank you, this is a deck I never feel bad about selling someone on lol, it's so gorgeous and is one of my top 10 decks and one I use a LOT. Enjoy!! ::HUGS::

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I did a reading for my adult son and drew the fountain card. I was like, I have no idea about this card.. so i read it straight from the book and he said it was perfect for him in the position it was. So it meant nothing to me but made perfect sense to him!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@tracylynn8284]

Oh Kelly! You make my heart so happy. You're quite orgasmic in your description of the deck (especially the swords suit)! Very fun & funny, thank-you 😁

[@TheTruthinStory]

Aha I was definitely very excited :D :D :D

[@redforrori]

This deck...worth every bloody penny.

[@TheTruthinStory]

100% Agreed :D

[@pointing2themoon]

Seeing you unbox this deck "live" was so much fun! I hadn't really understood the intention behind the deck before - it really is quite a deep deck. The closeup of the Fountain card was gorgeous!!! I checked out the video on their website, and I have to say I'm considering purchasing this now. I really appreciated seeing all of the cards - thank you!

[@TheTruthinStory]

***** I'm so glad you enjoyed it and that you were able to see the deck from a different perspective. I know that I was in the same boat and not sure what to expect but WOW O.o ~ Kelly

[@a_bookish_gemini]

So much fun watching you unbox this - you get so excited and embrace that fact, which is so refreshing. As far as the Death card goes, I actually DO think there is something atop the horse, cloaked in what is essentially blacker than the black of night, almost a "negative light" kind of space. Either way - I cannot WAIT to own one of these beauties, what a radiant and glorious deck of cards. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheTruthinStory]

Angie Ray Hi Angie! Thank you for watching and I have long ago given up being anything but what I am lol ;) I think with the Death card the power is that it could be either way, I love the idea of negative light space!! As for getting one, did you enter their Instagram giveaway!? If not and you have an instagram, go do that!! :D ~Kelly

[@a_bookish_gemini]

I did not! Thanks for reminding me!

[@DavidGonzalez-ml6pl]

I personally love your reviews, Kelly thank you

[@TheTruthinStory]

Aw thank you David, I appreciate your watching and saying so!

[@greylady1958]

What an amazing unboxing video. How I enjoy to listen to your enthusiastic commentary. I am so happy you are so in love with it. Although I admire the artwork , for now it is not for me. Mainly because of the geometric shapes, the color palette and the Sword court. I wish you a great journey with your beautiful new deck 🎴☺

[@TheTruthinStory]

***** Which is why these types of videos are nice so you can know for sure, that's why I love to watch AND make walkthroughs :) There are so many decks out there, I am sure your collection will not suffer :D :D ~Kelly

[@Clearsignalwellness]

I absolutely love all of your in-depth deck reviews! A few years ago when I saw this deck it didn’t really resonate with me, but now there’s just something about it that I love! The soft vibrant colors, beautiful art, cool geometry- it feels very psychological/clinical but in a non-threatening, non-judgemental, purely objective way. Just ordered it and can’t wait to start working with it! One day could you do a review of the Foragers Daughter? I have the afterlight edition and it is just gorgeous! ❤️

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I was confused by the cracks at first but now I just love them. I feel like incouod just contemplate the card backs for a really song time.

[@saintbabylon7250]

When I got this deck in the mail I kept it in the package for about 2 weeks & that was only, because a few days before I got The Gita oracle & The Mary El in the same week. I was so over whelmed with amazing decks that week because I also got The Tarot Of Prague a day before The Mary El came in so I had no temptation to open my Fountain deck. When I finally did decide to open it up I was honestly blown away by the awesome box it came in to the little signed greeting card with a little jewel on it & the quality of the book. Such a beautiful deck & carrying box. I had no problem with the price. I feel my Tarot Of Prague for the price should have came with a nice book & box like the Fountain which was half the cost. I love both decks though.

[@TheTruthinStory]

That is some POWER decks all in a few decks O.o :D I agree that the Fountain has a nearly perfect LWB!

[@sadaesashington7255]

Saint Babylon what is your favorite deck?

[@RiftxxGuardian]

Thanks for such a thorough look at this deck Kelly. I, too, like to see the complete set of cards before purchasing a deck. The Fountain Tarot looks absolutely stunning...love the artwork and the geometric feel to the images really resonates with me. You can see just how much thought and effort has been put into producing this deck. Thanks to your video, I will be adding it to my growing list of decks to purchase. Keep up the wonderful reviews :)

[@TheTruthinStory]

+RiftxxGuardian You are very very welcome! This deck really is stunning, I knew that I would love the artwork but I wasn't prepared for how instantly it became one of my focus decks to use! It's well worth the purchase in my opinion!

[@HauntedCerebralAstrology]

Great review and very detailed insight into the usefulness of the cards!

[@Cuilfaen]

woah... goosebumps all over... Totally blown away right now. I just saw very few images of this deck before and somehow thought it similar to the Starchild Tarot - which is not for me at all. Seeing more pictures now, I definitely misjudged it. Like totally. oO I just ordered another self-published deck a couple days ago (complete opposite in style to this one), but there has to be some money left somewhere >searching my pockets

[@TheTruthinStory]

Cuilfaen I wondered what you would think of it!! It truly is stunning and the readings I have done to break it in have gone just beautifully! I can't wait to see what deck you got through, I'm sure I'll be filling the whole this deck left on my wishlist ;) ~Kelly

[@Cuilfaen]

***** I´d put a print of the Fountain Card on my bedroom wall, if I had one (print. Not bedroom. LOL). So stunningly beautiful. And this applies to to quite a few of the other cards as well. Just ordered it, cause I know it´ll take some time to get here. Not too sure if you´ll like my other purchase. Not even 100% sure about it myself :D But if it looks and feels the way I imagine it to be, I´m going to love it (probably even more in autumn or winter - but I could be proven wrong on that expectation). So right now I´m highly curious myself.

[@TheTruthinStory]

Cuilfaen I agree about the Fountain card, I had every intention of not shuffling it into the deck but the essence of it really hit me, almost like an extension of my significator The Hermit where instead of going off to process and such the Fountain has you simply being, being still, being all you need to be in that moment just as you are AHHHH. I am so excited you have a set coming to you and i can't wait to see what you have coming!! ~Kelly

[@Bunnykisses1000]

Hi Kelly, i must tell you that Ive watched this at least 5 times over the last few months. I actually didnt like this deck when it first came out...as usual im late to the party...but i have been reconsidering it lately as i wanted a copy before the mass market version comes out in the fall. So i was like off and on with my decision, and this morning I watched it again...the whole thing..and now i have to have it. Its $75 CND for me so i just didnt want to buy on a whim. But there are certain cards that i so love., and a couple that are "meh" ....And as you, the swords is my "have to love" deal breaker suit. So i hit the "buy" button. And to honest as i was logging into their website i had an overwhelming fear that they might be sold out. But no, i got one. Im so glad you do these in depth walk throughs as it really helps us decide on decks...some yay, and some nay. Thanks Kelly.

[@topcat2033]

Flip through STARTS - 19:55

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I feel like you will appreciate this. The page of coins reminds me of the begining sequence fir little house, where the girls run down the hill full of joy. And the little one trips and it's so cute. (I saw an interview, she really tripped that wasn't planned at all.)

[@tarotseed]

I just got this deck today and I came on YT hoping you had a video and you do!! Sitting here with my deck in hand watching haha!

[@TheTruthinStory]

Aw yay I love it when people go through the videos with their decks :D

[@fattima7913]

OMG! The Fountain Tarot definitely in my wishlist. :)

[@TheTruthinStory]

fatima nayeli :D I can certainly understand that reaction!! O.o ~Kelly

[@orangeblossoms88]

Is this deck good for beginners? I know it’s not traditional but something about this deck just heightens my senses and wakes up an inspiration thats drawing me to it.

[@Galdring]

Are you going to use it for divination? In that case, it will serve you just as well as a normal deck.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I think it is, but it's going to really depend on if you resonate with the deck. If you feel it calling to you, I feel lile you could learn with it... did you end up getting it? What was your experience with it?

[@missb1464]

This deck is so ethereal and magical. The queen of cups is just pefection. The five of coins is so poignant. Glorious, im sure worth every penny. Yep, its another one i now def need...lol. wonderful review as always!

[@TheTruthinStory]

+arleen rojas It's so gorgeous for sure!

[@saintbabylon7250]

I really love all the Kings especially the King Of Pentacles. They all look very distinguished & modern business men in an artistic way of course. They have a very dreamy vibe also. I love how whenever I read with it I'm in a different world, The Fountian world. It's deffintily up there with my top favorite decks.

[@MorinMax-e5e]

I like this deck, so pretty and beautiful colors.

[@Cuilfaen]

It came in today :D:D:D - didn´t expect it to be at my doorstep so fast oO And - shame on me - I just couldn´t wait to unbox it and have a look at the cards. Holy moly... wow... just wow... I´m speechless and extremely emotional right now. Didn´t expect that to happen. I knew I´d probably like this deck after your video, but I didn´t know that it´ll make me cry. Literally cry. Don´t even know why, cause it wasn´t just one specific card but all...phew... I have to breathe.

[@TheTruthinStory]

Cuilfaen OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU :D And I sympathize, it definitely made me cry and feel overwhelmed in a good way and I can't really pin point exactly why either! I really thought yours would take longer going international but it didn't!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::HUGS:: ~Kelly

[@marshahostetler]

Thank you so much! I sent the measurements to the person making my pouch for my deck.

[@TheTruthinStory]

+Marsha Hostetler Good, I can't wait to see how it all looks if you post it somewhere!

[@suzyharthcock7913]

great unboxing, thank you, light and love to you🌀🍁🦚

[@TheTruthinStory]

And back to you!!

[@VLoveCrystals]

Gorgeous artwork here. thank you!!

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

9 of swords is the scariest card... (from someone who has had a lot of bad dreams all of my life.)

[@Songbird_Singz88]

The fountain card reminds me of the star card at least it looks like that to me...so I love it... And my whole deck

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I love this deck!!! I drew that suncard once for someone and it was about her inner child. The card isn't that impressive on it's own, but in the reading it really came alive!! What do you think of the Wild Unknown Sun card?

[@orfoys3432]

52:28: On the coin of the Queen are rabbits ;-)

[@freyadonna3347]

When I was first having my orchestra concerts in elementary school and has just started learning to play the cello--I used to stick my tongue out to the side for some reason. It was like it would help me pay attention more. I wonder if the tongue is connected to focus? Either way I still sometimes find myself doing it every blue moon but I really think there is something to it.

[@Joe_Maysky]

Think I need this one too, even at its higher price point. I've wanted something to complement my Legacy of the Divine, to use for clarification with base readings using LOTD, or on its own, or using this with LOTD complementing, etc. The Fountain Card might alone be worth $40 lol. I also like that it's not so abstract that in the Minor Arcana you can still see images of a number of wands, swords, cups or pentacles in the images.

[@TheTruthinStory]

+Joe Maysky This is a deck that I personally think is the most beautifully rendered modern RWS deck. They did amazing researching looking at decks all across the time line and seeing what were the key important messages that come through across tarot history and being sure to honor that as well as seeing any places they could put their voice in. It's definitely in my top 10 decks. I also adore the little white deck and appreciate it's neutral energy that calmly deals with the situation at hand!

[@Joe_Maysky]

***** "Neutral energy" is a great phrase for it. A lot of my friends who like Tarot are kind of averse to Judeo-Christian imagery which this doesn't have, but it's also not overly pagan, so I think it would speak to a lot of people. Gotta love a Tarot deck that can speak to people that don't subscribe to any particular tradition.

[@Joe_Maysky]

Ordered it!

[@melissam0ss]

How do you hear about or know about new decks and such? I feel like I'm so uninformed! I research decks before I buy but have been buying so many of late! Haven't even read with them. I seem to just be in love with many of them and carry them in my car and back to my room every day. I was so excited when I watched you inbox this! I felt the same excitement as if I was inboxing! It's a WONDERFUL DECK AND YOU DID A GREAT REVIEW FOR IT! :-D thank you :)

[@TheTruthinStory]

melissam0ss I don't know, this one I just stumbled on because I was asking about the Haindl Tarot and Dharma Apple said WATCH FOR THIS :D So it was giant road sign. I search a lot for deck reviews and such so I stumble on them that way, and also on Etsy for more independent decks (this is my only one as the price points are generally higher, I have a few others on my wishlist but I was saving a big spend for this one first). Instagram is also a good way as if you look at #tarot or #tarotreadersofinstagram and etc you will see fantastic pictures that suck you into new decks O.o But thank you, and you are VERY welcome! ~Kelly

[@regineboursier2407]

J adore votre enthousiasme 🌞

[@jeremywindoverwater6827]

I bought a deck the box says guidance of fate. The backs are the same and the pictures are the same. But there is no silver trim or guide book. Yours is definitely well done. I'm just wondering if the deck I bought had stolen art.

[@TheTruthinStory]

It sure sounds like that might be a ripped off deck :(

[@orfoys3432]

You said that you don't think that there is a figure riding the horse of death. Ok, i would say yes and no. The shadow and the skull are forming a shadow- figure. The Death is there as a person and he is not, at the same time (invisibility of death). The 💀 takes place very high in the picture of the card (the giant death - there is no way to hide from death). I love this death card, becouse the death is standing in front of me (confrontation with death). I think the trees symbolize the "natural ending" in contrast to 10 of swords.

[@TheTruthinStory]

Ohh yes, I love the way you are seeing this!! Thank you!!!

[@marshahostetler]

Need your help I am having a bag made for my Fountain Tarot but they did the depth of the deck without the book and with the book on top of the deck. Could you measure your deck with and without the book on top I would really appreciate it. Thank you. Marsha

[@TheTruthinStory]

+Marsha Hostetler I measure it at 1.75" :)

[@Newagetec]

Super review, I am a die harder RW reader , I think I found my modern deck , thanks to you.

[@alwanmaria]

What does the fountain mean as an outcome in love ???

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I would think it would be positive... almost connected to the ace of cups.

[@Yasi_nzi]

Means let go of control. Surrender to the divine

[@thehighpriestess8431]

How is the cardstock ? That's such a deal breaker for me :(

[@TheTruthinStory]

This is the first edition and the cardstock is gorgeous, I believe it is being produced differently now and I cannot say for sure on that subject!

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

My deck the cardstock is great.

[@orfoys3432]

Very inreresting design and interpretation of the Sun card: Joy and happyness but also the eternal youth - not growing up/ the child seems to be caged in the sun beams!! (Kindergarten) Very good: the shadow aspect of the Sun card is very readable.

[@TheTruthinStory]

I agree, while I do not like children in sun cards for my own personal reasons, I love how you have interpreted this, thank you! :)

[@orfoys3432]

The Truth in Story Thank you, I love the symbols of the Tarot! The child of this fantastic sun card is in a "open golden cage" - it can leave it, but the sun is so beautiful and warm that the child and anyone who came in the garden is mentally caged in. The child stands literally in the "shadow of the sun". Like the strength card your adult power becomes tamed by the sun. The sun is the center of the universe and not you. The sun says: Everything circles around me!" The sunbeams look like a carousel, too. sun is motherlike and full of love, bringing life and joy but she wants to be worshipped like the father, too. To grow up (to become adult) the child has to leave the garden and to go the path of the moon, to face the fears and the cold atmosphere of the world. (By the way, the knight or the crab on the moon cards is a reference to the charriot card, i think.) The moon is the opposite of the sun. His path leads you far away but without any protection. You have to learn to protect yourself and to learn skills to survive. The moon is in the background (female aspect), he makes place for your groth so that you can illuminate the world with YOUR own light (the hermit, male aspect). Im so in love with this deck! I' ve bought it a few days before. I hope it will soon find the way in my hands. Greetings from Germany. I enjoy your videos! In Germany the fountain tarot will be released in october........can't wait ;-)

[@GGeorgeSII]

Great vid, thank you. I just bought my deck. How long was shipping in your case?

[@TheTruthinStory]

+Gale Saldana Hm, it's been awhile but I want to say that I had it in a week, but I'm in the US.

[@GGeorgeSII]

+The Truth in Story cool, I'm from the states as well. You made me fall in love with this deck, so thank you! :)

[@darklittlepeople]

thank you thank you thank you ! :)

[@TheTruthinStory]

+DarkLittlePeople :D You are very very very welcome!

[@darklittlepeople]

;)

[@UT702]

With all due respect...no malice intended...that was a very LOOOOOOOONG intro....had to fast forward.

[@TheTruthinStory]

Jeanette Araujo I’m aware :) I’m definitely NOT a quick reviewer or walkthrough person, forewarned is forearmed, you’ll find this with most of my reviews so I’m glad you found the fast forward solution for yourself :D

[@michaelwinemiller9250]

sterile cold

[@TheTruthinStory]

A lot of people say that, I don't have that experience with it, it has a lovely neutral energy that really works well for me in certain situations, but you're not alone! :)

[@Galdring]

Lol... I am getting this for Chaos Magic (a completely non-superstitious version of it), and I just realized I can use it to scam gullible people! Haha, just kidding, I am not a psychopath.

[@sonerunlu2923]

got mine today...box itself really is amazing but the quality of the cards are huge disappointing.king of coins just got ripped only by holding it :( can't dare to shuffle yet!!!! images on the cards look colourful but they are so pale in real! Art work is amazing however.and please don't get me started about that glitter powder stuff!!! People can tell right after have a reading cuz it goes all over hands...People should know these before paying a big amount of money.Especially who live in UK cuz there are better decks than this one.not worth paying extra shipping charges! Sorry guys...
