So much fun talking oracle cards with you and Natalia! Thanks for having me on!😃

[@UrbanNicheRealty]

I'm hearing blips of additional, high frequency voices erratically but throughout and across all speakers. Anyone else picking up on those voices?

[@judethedudeisrude16]

Yes! Thought was hearing things. My guess is it’s either a glitch or we were hearing their spirits that are around them speaking.

[@aut-1212]

Balthazar is so fine 😩

[@michaelm.3602]

🤣

[@lovechangesus]

I loved the Lord of the Rings style sound glitches.... my pretty...

[@thestoneinsidethecave]

Hi, Gordon. Thanks for the lovely chat. Not sure if you are fluent in French but I would like to point you towards Gabryann Myrddin’s L’Heritage Lenormand published by Éditions Trajectoir. It’s a deck and book that aims at creating a Lenormand deck as if it were created by Mlle. Lenormand, with playing card inserts corresponding to traditional playing cards.

The best orcale cards Ive ever used is The Mercury Oracle Deck by NEEFF. Amazing art and gives me incredibly accurate readings.

[@TranscendentBird]

This was such a fun episode. I’m stoked to dive deeper into the Gypsy cards. If i can make a theme deck guilty pleasure but gives amazing readings reco it’s the Last Unicorn Tarot. If you are a fan nerd of the movie, it’s for you.

[@donnanelson5654]

I have bought my LAST deck so many times. Thanks! Going to buy another... And Gordon, I am so afraid of losing Fortune's Fools I rarely travel with it. Reprint please! Fun and useful from all 3 of you!

[@rewfrog]

Ok fine, I want to see what this fortune telling deck fuss is all about. The Gypsy Oracle is very inexpensive! I will be trying.

[@rewfrog]

Not sure if there's some processing of the audio creating audio artifacts but it sounds like there are little gnomes muttering for example around 18:39 when Natalia is talking. I'll see this as a 'yes, and' 😛

[@Lisa-sq3zl]

Is it just me? Why does it sound like there are people talking in the background? Love this convo.

[@UrbanNicheRealty]

Yes! I'm hearing that too. It sounds like fast high pitched speaking. Very erratic but hearing it throughout and across different speakers.

[@Celticlioness]

Thank you for letting me listen in

[@EricTecce]

Let me know if you ever would like to connect for a discussion given the topic. Will tune in when the ebb flows.

[@satturnine7320]

Scapini deck is popular Rider Waite 100th Anniversary is nice for its originally intended color schemes Robin Wood and Morgan Greer are also very popular

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

I enjoyed this so much!

[@Celticlioness]

Joseph Campbell Archetypes add creativity I guess that’s the best art I’ve ever seen - add in astrology and Sigils - you could teach a course called Master Sage Mage

[@Celticlioness]

[@AmbaJSepie]

Decolonise the divination realm? Working on it - yes I’m a collector 🌓 The constant use of the word Gypsy is bothering me though - we should really ditch that word now….

[@Celticlioness]

Now this is very good had to wade thru the crap Ty

[@Celticlioness]

The hard edges are most clients worst enemies

[@Celticlioness]

I love that - the inaccurate gentleness

[@Celticlioness]

We’ve all seen people with skulls in Christmas Trees let not base our creativity on things that do not blend Heirophant

[@Celticlioness]

Did he say Schopenhauer 😂😂

[@Celticlioness]

I just caught on of course the fall from grace Balthazar is the fallen angle right hand in Dante’s paradise lost ok ttyl

[@rodriguezmystic]

Balthazar is one of the three kings/three wise men.

[@Celticlioness]

Mix Sigils with Tarot and rule the world

[@Celticlioness]

Now I don’t want to write a great nieces full of symbols

[@th6368]

[@Celticlioness]

Feels a bit Saturday Night Live making fun but ok I’m Not judging if you’re trying to do a spoof on “ Woke” 😂😂😂😂😂ok on awakening well it’s way too basic so it feels like it’s a sardonic but ironic funny clip - and if it’s not well good job well done 😂

[@Celticlioness]

Oh my goodness I should charge this Ai program money here’s how you do it -

[@Celticlioness]

You must all mean feel but you say read - the tarot is the way -we can ease pain and suffering before it happens even if it’s going to we can help see we and nurses can put peoples minds and souls in the proper places - to be the different decks are my favourite art work and the art work moves and dances on the cards - but seriously if you have the feeling you can read a muddy coffee but yes I love the Joseph Campbell archetypes meet the real old ones 😂😂😂 Ryder Waite blah blah blah - love tarot - I’m telling you we were Brethern from Northern Ireland cards were Devils work
