Scarlet Woodland Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Apparently I'm having a splurge because I also just ordered The Wandering Star Tarot and The Light Seer's Tarot (plus a big box of Mainichi-Koh Sandalwood incense and a couple of pretty greeting cards because why not). Stuff it, it's been a sh#*++¥ week and I had a bigger paycheck this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about the only modern style deck I actually read with. Wandering Star caught my eye … but I never pulled the trigger. But, yeah, Tarot cards and incense … de rigeur!

Aliki Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) I just ordered the original greek edition of the Magical messages from the fairies since i found it for like 21€ from like 121$ or 210$ that i saw it reselling as an oop deck and that's a deal i apparently have a thing for angel and fairy decks it seems and i also ordered the Radleigh Valentine edition of the Angel Answers Oracle which i went on there for on the first place i was overlooking this deck for so much time while i was getting several readings with it and i adore its energy apparently its energy towards me is always actually really gente but truthfull and protective even so I decided to run for the non gilded version even cause i already feel so connected to it and its meanings gonna be so useful for my readings Edited January 12 by Aliki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I like to think I await the Earth Magick - but at the moment USPS say it has left London Heathrow - as of January 8th - and Royal Mail say it has just left the USA as of January 6th.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) OH. Well - it seems Royal Mail has had a cyber attack.... They didn't say it - it was on the news, so it might even be true.They were actually unable to prepare anything for overseas shipping, and were having issues receiving as well./ Anyway - USPS no longer shows information, but NOW Royal Mail says it will be here today !

DanielJUK Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Royal Mail announced it to the press, they have been pretty open about it. This is the latest status page about it - https://personal.help.royalmail.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12556/~/service-update Importing post has minor delays but nothing going out internationally right now. Some of my tarot friends have small shops and won't be able to send outside the UK at all. One posted that sending small parcels overseas was the best value through Royal Mail and her business cannot afford any of the other options for small packages, so it's paused. Hopefully this will be resolved soon 😞 . But a lot of UK shops are just closing international sending for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 OK brief update - slightly oversized cards; very NICE whippy card stock - "faux linen" - good weight, no sticking, lovely to shuffle. Cones in a box with a bag that actually takes the box. A few cards are mildly puzzling to me - I will post more later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The minors are a strange mix of scenic and almost not - some bear only the suit symbols in a pattern, some of those include a hand at one side - others have actual scenes. I’m not sure why some figures are skeletons (Hierophant, 9 Wands) or - apparently, blood vessels - Lovers, (I may be wrong; I was too mean to buy the book…) - and King Swords is all muscles (as in anatomical, not a 6 pack. Hanged man seems to take out any thought of peaceful reflection; Strength puzzles me, so does 10 Coins. Why is 3 Wands faceless ? and Four Swords is weird. All insights welcome…. LOVE the Six Coins though. Love the deck, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Oh - and INFURIATINGLY - creators PLEASE note - you need to open the box at the bottom if you don't want to break the pretty seal. Luckily this one does - but some don't. Why create something so pretty that will be destroyed in short order ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checking… Today I have the Tarot of the Owls arriving. It has been sitting one state over for the past 10 days and is finally out for delivery today. Not sure exactly why I pre-ordered this deck or what I am expecting from it. Will be interesting to discover what made me do it. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get this deck yet, but I am already unhappy that I ordered it. When I saw the pre-order page, it showed one pip card I believe, which was illustrated so I supposed all would be the same. Then I've got an email that the individual paintings are for sale. On that page I saw the mix of pips, some of them Marseille type, some of them scenic. I would've not bought this deck if I knew this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachelcat Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Quick update on my obsession 😺: I received all these: Love Your Body Cards, which is working in my "appearance" oracle collection spot. So far. Liminal Spirits Oracle: As I mentioned, a reacquisition. I'm glad I reacquired! Influence of the Angels Tarot didn't work as a replacement in my angel tarot collection spot. It's already in my giveaway pile. I'm sticking with LS Shining Angels, a round deck. Into the Void: The Black Cat Tarot is adorable and just what I wanted in a black cat deck The booklet gives the names of the cats on all the cards. So cute! Woodland Wardens Oracle is UTTERLY beautiful! And the pairing of animals with plants (and keywords) is inspired! I can't wait to spend some time with it. And I got Debunked: A Strategic Card Game of Logic, Reason & Nonsense. It has cards depicting logical fallacies and arguments to debunk by pointing out their fallacies. I probably won't try to use it as an oracle, but you never know! So now I'm only awaiting: the preordered Spirit Keeper’s Tarot, Revelation Edition, second printing, and the funded on Kickstarter Urban Incantations Tarot I have successfully used up my Amazon gift card! (But I have a couple more gift cards in my pocket!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Woodland Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Was so impressed with Holistic Shop that I placed another order. Just the Urban Crow Oracle this time with a few more Japanese incenses and a purple velvet tarot bag to keep them company. I haven't quite been won over by MJ Cullinane's other decks yet but I do like an oracle with teeth and this seems to have plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemia Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I have ordered the Förhäxa Tarot and the Mythologia Fennica Tarot! After holding myself back from buying more decks, I felt that I have to have them. There are still more decks on my list and I paid for them with money earned through tarot so I hope that's okay. I'm afraid of falling into a buying frenzy again but........ here we go. I'm excited.

gregory Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The Fennica is the one I have under the name of the Kalevalainen, I think It's LOVELY ! But I hope you get the FULL book - my deck came from Finland with the help of Hemera here, and I bought the English book later when it was translated - I was SO glad to get that !

Nemia Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Oh thank you, I'm glad you like it because I rely on your judgment! I paid for deck and book, I hope it's the full book 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I hope it's in English !!! (I got the Finnish book before it was translated and Hemera was going to help me with it.... But Finnish is TOUGH ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggydoll Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I’m sure you’ll get the thick English book, the Finnish version is sold out! @Nemia I think it’s such a cool deck and I love Finnish mythology! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemia Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Oh, that's wonderful, I'm now really excited. There were some cards I immediately liked, others that left me with a lot of questions... and I have bought the Kalevala now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has reinterpreted several of the cards and created a very unique deck. The guidebook is a great read. You know, I have downsized my collection many times and I prefer a minimal-ish stash, but this deck always makes the cut! I also wish to support the creator, she seems like a lovely person and she’s doing a really good thing for Finnish culture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
