Three Illustrator-deck Walkthroughs: John Bauer, Arthur Rackham, Edmund Dulac

[@dahlrussell]

Thank you very much! These are all beautiful, and I have a special affinity for the Rackham illustrations, but I purchased the Dulac because I felt they would be the most easily readable. I appreciate your reinforcing that opinion... it just seems a bit more traditional/recognizable while still being exquisite. Thank you again.

[@lindalavid]

Good choice! None of these are for beginners, IMO, however, once you begin reading them, and depending upon your sensibilities, they can be great readers. Good luck with your tarot journey!

[@StarsInBlackFeathers]

I know this is an old video, but thank you so much for this! So helpful. I think what I've decided to do is get all 3 decks, make a magpie sort of deck with my favorites. With the leftover cards, I'll trim rhe borders off and stamp keywords onto them to make an oracle deck to go along with the tarot deck

[@lindalavid]

What a great idea! Personalized! Enjoy the process and the result!!!

[@InnerMagpie]

Ty for showing all of these decks. I would love to see a pairing video for these

[@lindalavid]

Do you mean a reading? Thanks for watching Mags.;)

[@InnerMagpie]

@@lindalavid what oracles do you pair with these decks? I love to watch pairing videos. When I need to relax I will take several decks out and play around with what pairs well

[@lindalavid]

@@InnerMagpie I have oracle decks but I don't think I've ever paired them in a reading. I usually use two tarots. It's a great idea. I should try that sometime. Cards are so much fun! Have.a good one!!!

[@derekwin13]

I had to laugh, you dog was drinking water while you were showing the cups that represent water and drinking. Thank you so much for showing. They are beautiful decks.

[@lindalavid]

Didn't know that. Funny! Thanks for watching so attentively. ;)

[@oysterbay9]

brilliant video

[@oysterbay9]

if the cards are the same size i'd probably piece together a deck from the three - or trim

[@lindalavid]

@@oysterbay9 Great idea. They may have come from the same publisher. Can't remember. Have a good one!!!

[@allieoopmauzy7513]

I had all 3 decks in my wish list, so I really appreciated this video!

[@lindalavid]

Great to have wishes and those who grant them. Happy New Year!!!

[@ablalex]

Great video. love the Rackham one.

[@lindalavid]

Yeah, it is a beauty. All three were amazingly talented. Great to know they had some success in their lives and beyond! Thanks for commenting!

[@lostingothicmusic]

Thank you! I have been looking for a way to decide between the Rackham and Dulac decks and this video was perfect! I chose the Dulac in the end. My results on cards I liked was: 56/78 to the Dulac, 39/78 to the Rackham (though it won on the swords suit) and the Bauer really wasn't for me, with only 12/78 cards that spoke to me, though it won the strength card by far and I prefered its heirophant card, and it equalled the Rackham deck on the pentacles suit for me as well, (but I prefered the Dulac here overall too). This was a very useful video!

[@lindalavid]

Wow. Glad this video helped. You might like to watch this on KZbin. It's about Dulac. Amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoqmeKyAqax1fqM Thanks for watching and commenting! Enjoy your new deck!

[@lostingothicmusic]

@@lindalavid Thanks that's really interesting! I don't know much about him; I know far more about Rackham.

[@theotherheather4520]

Thank you. That was an excellent flip through.

[@lindalavid]

Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching! ;)

[@magickal02]

Thank you for this walk though! Absolutely gorgeous! ✨🧚‍♂️👑

[@lindalavid]

For sure. Illustrators took off with the beginning of so much printed material and color. Thanks for watching!!!

[@Dano-YouTube]

Dulac is the best one . For my taste Thanks for your video

[@lindalavid]

Yeah, it's a beauty. Thanks for watching!!!!

[@MATT-dw3lu]

Thankyou their gorgeous ive ordered the dulac

[@lindalavid]

Dulac is a beauty. I think you'll love it. Thanks for watching!

[@inspace3753]

I bought all 3. All so unique & gorgeous.

[@lindalavid]

They are beauties. Amazing work in the 1900s. Thanks for watching!!!!

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

I have the Rackham deck in my cart and I’m just watching a few more videos but now I also fell in love with the Dulac & Bauer. I know this is an older video but I am pretty new to tarot and so I’m discovering so many beautiful decks (some of course I simply missed out on lol.) Do you recommend all three or do you have a bit of an extra special connection with 1 or 2? Ty!

[@lindalavid]

I read intuitively with the John Bauer. IOW, I just look at the pics. It's not a traditional RWS. But rather haunting. The two others are very similar and somewhat more RWS but there's a lot of detail to explore and use your intuition. They are all great decks. The best one to pick if you're only getting one is to trust your own sensibility. Thanks for watching and happy taroting!!!

[@luanllluan]

great presentation

[@lindalavid]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@davenewton4862]

that mermaid painting on the cover of the Dulac deck was actually painted by Howard Pyle.

[@lindalavid]

Interesting! Thanks for watching!!!

[@CAMONTAROT]

thank you so much 🍀

[@lindalavid]

You're welcome 😊

[@Nayelianne]

Do you have the Fairy Oracle by Rackham as well by any chance? I'd love to see a comparison between the Rackham tarot and that one.

[@lindalavid]

My oracle decks are limited. Sorry. Bet it's a beauty. Thanks for watching!!!!

[@milla4931]

Do they all have the same cardstock? Specifically the Dulac and the Rackham?

[@lindalavid]

Yup. Buttery cards all from LoScarabeo, altho, the Dulac is distributed by LLewellyn. Have a good one!

[@milla4931]

Thank you! Was looking to mix and match the 2. It would be half and half so the backs wouldn't bother me but god forbid they feel different lol

[@InnerMagpie]

Rackham the decks back is a little blah compared to the other two. I bought the Bauer deck.

[@lindalavid]

That Bauer one is a delight. Can be read intuitively and is full of surprises!
