Trimming the Raven's Prophecy Tarot (Mod With Me)

[@maryannquinones8682]

Love how it turned out. When I edge my decks, I seal them with distress glaze which makes them waterproof. The only downside is that they won't take any more colors but, the colors look shinier and rich. Sometimes the black edging kind of have a purple shine to it, but the glaze gets rid of that leaving you with a great looking plain black.

That’s a great tip! Thank you for sharing it. 😀

[@MYSTICMANDY22]

that tarot bag was sooo cute

[@LouValcourt]

It looks so good without the borders.

[@srahsunshine6708]

I love this deck I have this and enjoy doing my readings this is helpful and will help me later when I trim mine

[@terriw6116]

This is a really interesting looking deck!

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

I still am at what I consider mid-beginner stage with practicing & reading tarot but I did purchase this deck when I first started and those borders and words got sliced right off & modded lol. The book is really thorough and I actually think it is a good addition to learning combined with a rws clone because in the guide book Maggie does go over what each card follows regarding rws but then also adds her wisdom as well and I love my deck, albeit smaller but I like mini lol. Plus I feel modding even just edging helps forge an even stronger, personal connection with the deck and I’m also big on guidebooks so I absolutely do not mind flipping through pages. Glad you enjoyed the outcome! Looks unique.

I loved having this resource, thank you. I AM extra precious with this deck since it was my first tarot, but I have several copies now so this weekend I finally modded one, making some mistakes at first and using your tips for guidance. I left the titles on this one, but I'm going to mod another copy down to the art like you did. I don't yet have the shinier cardstock, but your modded deck reminds me of a black scrying mirror, which ties into the novels this deck is associated with. Beautiful job!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

How fun! I love having multiple copies of favorite decks trimmed in different ways. Each one feels a little different to me. 🥰

[@jennyfer_rebecca]

WOW. This deck turned out amazing. Fabulous job! I think it looks way better trimmed. The larger corner rounder and the black edging is perfect. Great video as always:)

[@GeeskeHogenhuis]

Cool mod! The artwork is so much deeper like that! The Raven's Prophecy is still on my wish list.

[@meepsproduction3001]

I love how all of the decks turned out! Especially the Raven's Prophecy. It looks almost like a mini version. It's so cute! I think the way you edged the Fallen Angel Oracle was super cool. It fits so well that I thought it was part of the deck at first!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you! I was trying to get a good match on the Angel oracle, I'm pretty happy with how it came out.

[@angelaschredl9245]

This mod turned out very nice. I love this deck so much. Use it all year round since I am not bonded to Halloween vibes. This is a deck that feels very personal to me. I keep mine as it is, love the orange borders.

[@truthinshadowdeed925]

This came out amazing I'm not going to mod mine but now I need to bring it out to work with.

[@suzyharthcock7913]

❤thank you, love the mod.

[@caedogeist]

This was such a wonderful surprise! I own the Raven’s Prophecy deck…it’s one of my decks that I feel the closest connection with but I have the same feeling about those orange borders. I’ve never modded a deck, but I have seriously been considering it for this deck. Seeing how yours turned out has absolutely convinced me. There’s so much more depth and Maggie’s artwork really stands out. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤

[@ironempath7261]

I'm new to your channel and I love your videos. Thanks so much for doing this video on the Raven's Prophecy Tarot. This was the very first non-traditional (not Rws-based) tarot deck I ever purchased and I love it. 🤔 Though "have it your way" is one of my favourite catchphrases, I am nowhere yet near comfortable with the idea of modifying a tarot deck in any way. Looks complicated... I just kinda figure that when a deck is for me I'll buy it, and will simply wait for a borderless version to be released. It is very liberating to see others alter their decks to their liking though. -Excellent videos, please keep it up. I'd much rather relax by bingeing on your videos than watching other things. I loved your "How Does This Deck Read?" video (or title words to that effect). Thank you.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Thank you so much, I am so glad that you are enjoying my videos! Mods are also a bit of a creative project for me, but it is for sure a labor of love. :) Thank you so much for your support of my channel!

[@aiatarlill]

Great to see the Raven's Prophecy. It's one of my oldest decks that I feel really close to, although I have never really read with it. I have always liked the orange borders. And as I don't come from a Halloween country, it never evokes that to me either. For me it's like the glow of an open fire. But I always keep an eye out for a cheap copy so I could do the trimmed version as well because I just like the look of that. Unfortunately the deck only seems to get more expensive and I haven't found a cheap copy yet. I think my cardstock was different, very thin and slippy so I just backed it with clear textured contact paper for a better grip. Thanks for this nostalgia trip 🥰

[@MYSTICMANDY22]

You elevated the deck. its deeper yes, but deff elevated :)

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It’s so cool how it made it feel like something else. 😀

[@MYSTICMANDY22]

@@DawnMichelleTarot it really did. I love that it's so rich looking now. I literally now want the deck and would do a similar mod. If you would be willing to do a video on the haunted house since doing the mod, Id like to see it :) I know you said you didn't film it but I would like to hear anything youd have to say.

[@Peekaboorose]

I'm SO HAPPY you got this deck! For my part, it's not that I minded the orange color in and of itself. But there was just too much of it, LOL. My current copy is stripped down to just the titles. Can't wait to hear how you get on with it 💜

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Yeah, maybe that's it... there just so much orange! lol I actually have two copies now (more on that in my monthly wrapup lol) and I find they read very differently. :)

[@AmethystAscensionTarot]

They all turned out fabulous! I think it is the backs that are driving me a bit crazy on my Raven's Prophecy....LOL It is such a beautiful deck though. 💜

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It looks pretty cool rebacked too! :)

[@AmethystAscensionTarot]

@@DawnMichelleTarotOh dang, did you show those rebacked and I missed it? I have never done that before and I am very interested for sure!

[@jessicamira4676]

Turned out great!

[@StetStudio]

I love this deck, it's one of my favorites! I used it in my #thatninecardspread video a few weeks ago. It is gorgeous with the edges trimmed off. I don't think I will be trimming mine any time soon, but I really do like it. I was going to mention the book series this book ties into, but I see others have done that already. I actually met Maggie, at a book signing, and she signed my guidebook. She also has created the Scorpio Sea Tarot to be a companion to another of her books, and I have been considering getting that deck as well.

[@RumerHaven]

That turned out so well! You'd be appalled by my mod. 🤣It was my very first one and before I'd discovered your channel (after which, I promptly bought a protractor set and your exact same trimmer 😆). I agree that it works wonderfully as an intuitive deck. 🖤 And, oooh, that angel-oracle edging!

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

Oh some of my first trims were pretty bad as well, before I discovered my little cheat. :)

[@fairlighttarot]

I love how it turned out! It almost has an oracle feel to it now :) I'm going to think about what I want to do with mine but I might leave the thin orange borders, chop off the titles and then if I don't like it I can chop off the borders too. Thank you for sharing this xx

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I have two copies now :) My trimmed one and an older version original which I've left as is. I kinda like having both :)

[@dragorsi]

I love this deck (and like the font :D) I kept the titles but removed the borders (though I wanted to keep them for the connection with the stories) because all I saw was the orange on the table. Love how yours turned out. ♥

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I really debated on leaving the titles... so I ended up with a second copy so now I have both hehe. :)

[@dragorsi]

@@DawnMichelleTarot oh, smart! :D I ordered a new fiskars cutting whatever it's called, unfortunately it won't be here before November but I'M excited to chop off some borders (from other decks), your videos always make me want to mod a deck. :D

[@malloryhawk2061]

I would never trim my Raven Prophecy deck, instead I colored the edges with orange sharpie. It looks and feels more magical and appropriate for fall season and Halloween. , I have a weird fascination with orange bordered decks. I absolutely love them. I have the La Croix Tarot.

[@GMarieWrites]

I’d use the Raven’s Prophecy as an oracle now, it was already hard to associate the cards to tarot - the art is lovely just not really tarot to me. I am not a fan of the distressed look but the coloration on the Fallen Angels deck came out lovely.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

It works beautifully as an intuitive oracle for sure! :)

[@ashleighmorgan]

Absolutely adored this video! I too have the Ravens Prophecy deck, but I had not thought of trimming it. I loved how it turned out and how the artwork totally takes on a new vibe. I did how ever edge mine and I’m curious if the Tombow marker leaves black on your fingers when you start shuffling and using the deck? I used crayola on mine, also in black, and I still get a little black on my fingers afterwards.

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I generally don't have any trouble with the black tombow, but it does depend on the cardstock and how well it absorbs the ink. But most of the time, I don't get any transfer with my tombows as long as I let them dry well. I hope that helps!

[@ashleighmorgan]

@@DawnMichelleTarot this does, thank you! I will try the Tombow next 😊

[@RitualMagick]

🙋🏽where can I find this nail polish??

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

I just picked it up at my local store, it wasn't any special brand or anything :)
