Whispering #28- asmr/ relaxation- Tarot Majors, second half

[@heyitsrachelb1096]

Not only is this video great ASMR but the artwork is amazing! Love it all!

[@Bnazf]

I love writing while listening to you ramble, it's really calming and I like to occasionally glance at the video and watch all the pretty cards and rings and etc, thank you so much!

[@Ratty13rat]

Wow! I saw the printed ones and thought they were digitally done, but these are so lovely! Beautiful craftsmanship and a wonderful video, thank you! :D

[@fhilbo1701]

This series of videos of yours featuring these exquisite handmade tarot cards are the richest source of asmr on KZbin for me. I'm grateful.

[@sarinola]

WOW! These are so amazing!! What a wonderful idea to hand make your own Tarot cards. I checked out your etsy shop and hope to buy a deck soon. I think I have the same last name as you as well. I very rarely come across people with the same last me.

[@susanmiller1126]

What an amazing voice to go along with an amazing deck of cards... I am a true believer in Tarot, I own, and have seen many variations of decks, and these are the prettiest I have ever came across! ty

[@9doves]

May I breathe now? Honestly, I am completely blown away by the beauty of your work here!!!! Funny, but the Empress always turns up in my readings, and she happens to be my favorite in your deck. Your rendering is SPECTACULAR . Please tell me the brand of dimensional gold paint you used. I just love that look. And of course, this vid is ASMR perfection.

[@Sweetseductiveasmr]

Love love love your artwork! Big fan from day one! The scratching and tapping too--TINGLES EVERYWHERE!!

[@alixschneider]

Still here in 2018 re-watching this video!

[@LKatVintage]

Alix Schneider I’m watching too but I’m late just finding these videos but my favorite ASMR for sure!

[@randycranmer3982]

This is a truly beautiful set of cards that I had to see every one of them before I restarted the video to listen to the audio for the purpose of rest and relaxation. Thank you for the wonderful video and you have great artistic taste :)

[@kiwiwhispers]

Your sounds are the business! Ohmagosh, the scratching! I'm gonna sleep now.

[@SilentCitadel]

Many people get purely visual asmr. Some people it's just sound- some both- and some imagery only. Fascinating the differences we all have, no?

[@SilentCitadel]

It's on etsy now! There's a link on my main page, or you can just look up "silent tarot" on there. They've sold very well- and of a run of 125, there are fewer than half left! I'm thrilled you like it!

[@dcerketa]

At the beginning I wasn't sure about the scratching bit because most of the time scratching noises irritate me, but you do it very calmly like you don't have a care in the world. Love your work and the way how you're spiritually in tune with your cards. Ít's like you almost scratch and tickle your cards to life "if that makes any sense" You're awesome! from the Netherlands

[@Prying0penMy3rdEye]

I agree with all the comments here, your art is truly lovely, especially because of the love and dedication you clearly put into it! (Oh and all the glorious melt-inducing sounds that come with it don't hurt either!). Not to mention your very relaxing voice... favorited & subbed, can't wait to see all your other videos! You make me want to run home and dig into my pile of art supplies and start creating again :D

[@SilentCitadel]

what a wonderful thing to say! I try to banish all stress before I start a video, as I find agitation of any kind can really carry over into my work. I'm so glad you liked this one, thanks a million!

[@01newuser]

Those cards are wonderful, I'm impressed by how good they look. Also, I couldn't agree more on there not being enough time for reflection today - my own life included. Will work on that. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the video :)

[@marlasinger8989]

I've never seen such an amazing deck of tarot cards!

[@SilentCitadel]

Thank you! Yeah- I'm WAY more pleased with the new fool as well. It was a GREAT suggestion from a viewer/ pal that I really took to heart. I don't ever mind constructive criticism- I'm not a delicate flower that can't take suggestions- that road leads to bad art and misery or an inflamed ego or all of the above. My deck is available on Etsy now, if you're interested! There's a link on my youtube page. It's a little spendy, but worth it!

[@delphineking5523]

OMF THEYRE ALL SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE! I wanna learn how to make card art!! Teach me master!

[@KeelySheridan]

Your whispering voice is perfect, the cards are perfect and the sounds are absolutely perfect. I've only found one other ASMR KZbinr that really works for me, I can now say I've found two. Thank you very much :)

[@mayersusan290]

You have the perfect voice for asmr!

[@SilentCitadel]

@UnratedMovies of *course* I will!!! Thank you for your interest. Yeah- the Hermit might be my favorite card of the whole deck- lol

[@ThePeacefulWhisper]

Your videos are absolutely amazing and sooo soothing! Love you!

[@buhita06]

This deck is amazing : ) You are so creative.

[@WhimsicalWolf]

Symbology? Boondock Saints was all I could think of after you said that haha. Otherwise, I'm excited to see the printed decks. They look awesome and I've loved every video on them. Never stop making art.

[@msfairiebloom]

I was lead here by CharlieSaysGo. I am so glad I found this channel. Your voice... I will be a faithful watcher. I need this with the stress of school and family. This is amazing. Thanks:) Your Tarot is beautiful and creative. Love it.

[@Jappy1981]

As relaxing and mesmerizing as this is, I had to stay awake to see each card. They're hauntingly beautiful, and I will definitely be checking out Etsy. Now for round 2 of the video for sleep. Oh, and even though I'm here typing away, I am with you on the silent reflection and thought. People don't think any more; they just 'do', and I think that's been, and is progressing into a larger problem.

[@Indrid__Cold]

You crafted these with the same intensity of thought as i would expect from one of the original divinatore' creators. I favor your interpretation of The Hermit most of all. The rust component hardens to the days when that pigment was actually used. I also appreciate the respect you show the cards even though you do not use them. Your candor and honesty are duly noted and appreciated.

[@missbaby13a]

I just can not stop watching your videos... just amazing

[@SilentCitadel]

they are available now, on etsy. There is a link to my etsy page on my youtube home page :) Or, alternately, you can do a search for "silent tarot" on etsy. The decks are 30- apiece, and come with a unique cloth carrying bag and a booklet. I'm delighted you like them!

[@professordavoid]

Gorgeous cards. Works of art. Could almost make a reading convincing.

[@Jellymae91]

I really like your videos for how interesting they are! I wish I could be creative. :) I actually got a little bit of tingles from this one too, which is oh my gosh for me since I get them maybe once every 3 months? Hehe

[@SilentCitadel]

Wow, that's very high praise- thank you- If you ever want your own copy, they are available on etsy now :) hint hint

[@amy_lola_jean]

I happen to love all your rings!! No idea why, but it adds to the ASMR effect for me. I found this out watching a Mae West film and seeing her hands move delicately with a bunch of rings on them. :)

[@144CrazyBitch]

I love this video.. & I love your black nails ! I do mine all the time that color. The rings go well too. :)

[@SilentCitadel]

@JustMeSianW etsy.com/shop/esmeraldabatt But the cards won't be listed for another week or so. I only have one thing up there right now, but feel free to bookmark me :)

[@SilentCitadel]

maybe, but that's how I roll If you want to see me without all the bangles, there are two vids where I take them all off. The hand massage video, and the water video.

[@patrickduggan5255]

Amazing hands, voice and cool insight into the arcane things in life. Thank you 4 helping me sleep. Be well.

[@SilentCitadel]

lol, sure thing! There's a link on my main youtube page. They're a bit expensive, since they cost so much to print- but they're pretty cool!

[@SilentCitadel]

HAHAHAH! Oh that's awesome- Your name is Batt?! I used to use it as a pseudonum because I was kind of a goth. I liked to say "A bat with one t just isn't spooky enough for me" lol.

[@gypsylvia]

beautiful and very relaxing! thank you!

[@kell909]

Ooooohh, I love The Magician card! I couldnt even tell you why, lol. Is that a tree trunk behind him? I also love The Empress card

[@SilentCitadel]

Some people use tarot cards for fortune telling, though originally they were for games- they were the first kind of playing cards ever invented, and later, after some changes, they became the common playing card deck we know today

[@Darkii1Dream]

you need to stop listening to asmr for a few weeks, then just listen it again. It will come back. if not, just wait a little longer :-)

[@SilentCitadel]

the devil card is actually not a terrible card, as far as the whole fortune-telling thing goes. The Tower is the worst one- and the Moon- even though, at least in my mind- the moon sounds pretty innocuous. Anyway, thanks!

[@BurgundyStone]

Definitely worth it! After all, soooo much work and materials went into the originals, that much is obvious. Thanks for the word up, I'll definitely finagle my way to owning them. After all, my birthday is coming up. ::Grinch face >:}::

[@SilentCitadel]

That's VERY exciting. Thank you so much :) There aren't a lot of people who really make me tingle much either- I find a lot of them relaxing/ fun/ sleepy-inducing, but I don't get major tingles that frequently- anyway, I take your words to heart- it means a lot

[@AlchemistTongueDrums]

All those rings on your fingers and the Tarot aspect of this video reminds me a lot of Alan Moore :-)

[@Baini229]

So that's why the tree is on the death card! When you scratch it, I'm sent into a coma-like slumber resembling death!

[@Radishforbreakfast]

Not sure if this would help, but I find that I really like gently touching my face with soft watercolor paintbrushes (without paint, of course) while watching videos to increase my asmr and simulate the real feelings of makeovers/facepainting. It's quite nice even when unrelated to the video. If you don't own any brushes, any thin watercolor brushes with very soft bristles would do. I hope that helps, but it might just help for me. Good luck!

[@indiglomoon]

I would love to buy one if your decks when they come available? Can you please notify me when any are available, along with a price range? Thank you so much. Beautiful!

[@BlastThisComp]

So I must be 100% honest when I noticed she was whispering and fiddling with the textures of the cards it creeped me out. I love tarot decks that are creative like this which evokes emotion and inspiration (I understand SC doesn't believe in divination, but its important for a deck to connect to the reader). Once I got hooked on the art I couldn't stop watching the deck come to life and definitely going to buy the deck before its sold out. Fantastic job! Though some of the images allude me...

[@Isabienne]

I like the fact that you create and enjoy tarot cards, without actually believing in their powers. I don't believe in any supernatural stuff and I always thought I was a little weird for enjoying the art on tarot cards. :)

[@SilentCitadel]

Yeah, it was a little weird at first- I had this big internal debate about whether to make them or not- but eventually decided "it's art, to hell with it". In theory you could play poker with these, so it's up to the user to either use them for divination or gin rummy or whatever. Also, don't feel weird about liking the art- it's beautiful! Some tarots date back to the 1500s or older, and they were first used for games, not fortune telling :)

[@SilentCitadel]

@MrRutherfordBHayes That totally makes my day, thank you.

[@SilentCitadel]

@irkofan I think there aren't any truly bad ones, it's more about perspective- but yeah- people think the worst whe they see those...

[@SilentCitadel]

@TrollReviewer Stuff from a lot of genres, but I'm picky about specific artists. My favorite musician is Dax Riggs- He's been in a couple bands and been solo, and I pretty much like everything he's done. I listen to a lot of classical and I'd call that my favorite overall genre- my favorite album is probably the Velvet Underground & Nico. I also like Mazzy Star, Jose Gonzales, Iron & Wine, and a lot of spacey relaxing stuff- plus some local indie (Dear Nora, New Bad Things)

[@UnratedMovies]

Wow, what a timing, just before i was going to bed i saw this video! now i can go to bed fully relaxed! :D also all your cards are awsome, the hermit card was just WOW!! i will perhaps buy it/them if possible, will you ship world-wide? :/

[@144CrazyBitch]

That's some great art!!!

[@fool.b]

Devil is a total badass, love the artwork, absolutely wonderful, how come this just has few views ?

[@SilentCitadel]

@TrueSToNER777 I've had a lot of requests for candy, food, or gum. I haven't done them yet, and am not sure whether I will do or not, but it's definitely on my radar. I'm comsidering it :)

[@SilentCitadel]

My pleasure

[@SilentCitadel]

@ASMRaholic Minus the smashing and mayhem, I assume- lol. Thank you!

[@SilentCitadel]

I agree.

[@Duskbanshee]

I've always wondered, what are these cards for? They look really cool, but I don't quite get what their purpose is. ^^ Also, very relaxating vid.

[@SilentCitadel]

I think there's a link on my main channel page- Thank you!!! -

[@SilentCitadel]

Danke :)

[@redforrori]

This video is awesome--but your cards are FABULOUS!! What is your Etsy shop name?

[@SilentCitadel]

That means a lot to me, thank you. I understand stress- I have some channels I don't know what I'd do without!

[@SilentCitadel]

YAY!

[@SilentCitadel]

Yes, I did!

[@AspenAren]

I want one of your tarot decks for Christmas :( lol

[@SilentCitadel]

Sometimes my ideas are awesome, and sometimes they're miserable failures- but I never run out of new ones, that's for sure, lol

[@SilentCitadel]

Ooooh! I wonder if etsy has gift certificates- That would be a great present to get/ give- etsy has so much cool stuff! nobody says finagle anymore- I thought I was the only one.

[@SilentCitadel]

Things are definitely getting away from creating and turning more into repost-pin-share. While I'm glad to see other stuff, I like original thought a lot more. I prefer art, even if it sucks, to a reposted meme. I'm really glad you like them. I look forward to maybe shipping you a deck ;)

[@SilentCitadel]

thanks!

[@BlastThisComp]

One more thing other the few images that throw me I wish SC had made an image for the back of the cards I feel it would have made it just that much better.

[@SilentCitadel]

Splendid!

[@werethewilsons]

Really enjoyed!!!

[@icywolf9312]

i think asmr works best when it is not intentional, most people dont even know what it is but it happens all the time

[@144CrazyBitch]

Did you make those cards yourself? Very cool .

[@boogerfly100]

your whispers are soothing.

[@SilentCitadel]

@TrollReviewer I also like some really grody punk (Cancerslug), as well as some really random stuff: Natacha Atlas (middle eastern pop), Tom Waits, Cowboy Junkies, Portishead, Andy Mckee (instrumental Guitar), John Fahey (my favorite guitarist and second favorite artist of all time), Tom Lehrer (yes, humor, but also very smart) and a smattering of some other stuff. How about you???

[@SilentCitadel]

I'm not german either, I just say that sometimes. No, it's an actor in costume

[@SilentCitadel]

@TrollReviewer I'm not a huge fan of the rest of the Velvet Underground's stuff- I really prefer the one album. Anyway- that's a good era for music that you like! And underground? EH- a little I guess- I used to like some way more obscure stuff but I'm mostly grown out of it. My dad's a total audiophile. One of my first Xmas gifts was a '45 original pressing of the Sex Pisotols God Save the Queen which I broke immediately. D: He also gave me the Eurythmics on vinyl which I still have

[@SilentCitadel]

@TrueSToNER777

[@muskndusk]

Just a suggestion about the design of your booklet: it might look better if the thumbnail pics in the headings were in colour rather than black and white. Great vid, thanks.

[@Duskbanshee]

Cool, thx for the explanation :)

[@AnnaBellAsmrSWE]

amazing!

[@KeelySheridan]

I will have to look them up! My other favourite is albinwhisperland. She does a mix of whispering videos and softly spoken videos, but I only like her whispering ones. I think SilentCitadel is my favourite one at the moment though.

[@SilentCitadel]

@HushedHollows Tim Holtz distress crackle is my fave. cheap & awesome

[@SilentCitadel]

@ilovejustin011 Champagne and confetti! Woop woop!

[@SilentCitadel]

;) thank you very much

[@SilentCitadel]

hmm, I'm not sure what I'd recommend. It seems to vary so much from one person to the next.... maybe don't overthink it- you might just be psyching yourself out!

[@havik316]

Subscribed right after the first sentence!

[@SilentCitadel]

Thanks! I do like voting and freedom of speech so I'm cool with being alive now, lol- but I really do love the aesthetics of ages past.

[@SilentCitadel]

Bless you. Copies on etsy, not the same as the originals, but still cool ;)

[@syrinxe]

You should belong in another era! :)

[@SilentCitadel]

@missbaby13a Yay!
