I fell in love with the Eldritch when I first bumped into it. I almost hit the buy-button and the found the Zeke’s. I would love to buy both but I mess up mixing 2 decks together. I do use the Deviant Moon because certain querents ask me to use this one… but for myself it doesn’t work. I do grab the Influence of the Angels - a lot! I hope it grows on you over time❤ hugs from the Netherlands 🌷

I discovered a long time ago that there are decks whose artwork I find visually stunning but have zero connection with and can't read for the life of me. Deviant Moon and the Shadowscapes Tarot are two cases in point. Gorgeous artwork. Love going through the decks just to admire the cards. Can't read 'em to save my life. Nothing comes through. Thinking about acquiring the Crow for its art style and the Eldritch for its cyberpunk theme. Thanks for sharing!

So true! Some decks I just want to stare at but not really work with

I trimmed my influence of the angels which has made it stand out a lot more. Love my Kat Black as well though!

I’m so tempted to trim!

I so love the crow tarot! but the cardstock and size makes it so difficult to handle. Ive spent so much time just shuffling it in sections trying to break it down and make it easier to handle but its not made much difference. I wish i could get it in her lovely indie cardstock eapecially the newer one her last couple of decks have used. I am totally planning to get the mini though 😅

Her indie cardstock is a dream to work with!

I did *not* know that there was a 78-card Autonomic out there. Cool, but I'll stick with the weird hybrid deck. ::::: I have, and love, the Golden Tarot. For a long time I wanted the Touchstone as well, but I made myself study a few flip-thrus and in the end decided I much preferred the Golden anyway. ::::: This is a good tag. If I have a deck I _won't_ use, it goes. But I have plenty of decks I _don't_ use for various reasons that I'm not prepared to part with. The "latest new thing" is sometimes the culprit, but it's interesting to think about.

Hahaha! I had to look away & cover my ears when you showed Zeke's Arcana! I was this《--》 close to hitting the buy button on that deck last Friday! I'm proud to say that I actually showed some strength of character & talked myself out if it 🤪👏🤣 But it's gorgeous!! 😍🤩

I'm just now watching your video where you're talking yourself out of Zeke's! Sorry to add to the temptation 😂

I love all of your tarot cards, they are so pretty. I have several decks I can't work with so I understand. Thank you for this video, it was fun to watch.

Deviant Moon freaks me the F out! Bleurgh!!

For me the Nicoletta Ceccoli Tarot and the Pensive Path Tarot are two that I don't reach for. I love them, I go through them but for some reason I don't read with them.

I definitely have a few decks I flip through more than I actually read

I’ll be curious to see what ones end up back in rotation and those which perhaps go. Zeke’s Arcana is so funky and beautiful. I can see why you’re having a moment with it 🥰 US Games made such a weird decision with their most recent cardstock evolution. I know I’m an old broken record but I miss their old smaller, flexible playing card stock. It was lovely. I parted with the crow tarot cause it was so uncomfortable to shuffle. Beautiful deck though.

I love Influence of Angels! (I'm also not getting the Touchstone Tarot because I don't want it to compete with it.) It's a surprisingly easy and profound reader, I especially love using it around Christmastime!

Not the Eldritch Overload! I can totally see why you would reach for Zeke's Arcana though. And ugh, super shiny decks, whhhyyyy?!

It’s not going anywhere for long! They definitely read differently, and I have that big beautiful book for the eldritch too so it’s great for slower readings

The zekes and eldrich overload are both so cool!! Love the color palettes on both. Totally see how they fill a similar space though. I feel the same way in regards to regretting not getting the mini version of a deck with the Big/Mini Mice tarot. Like what was I thinking when I backed the big version?? Haha loved to see your choices as usual 🩷

Touchstone will stare at you lol

For me right now I can't pick up the Zeke's be cause I recently got the Star Power and am totally obsessed with it. Still totally obsessed with the Zeke's, just needing to focus on bonding with my new deck, I tell myself. 😅

Deviant Moon was like that for me and I ended up decluttering it! I also want the mini crow!

I have the Eldritch Overload and I also don't reach for it because it's surprisingly bland for me... too many cards felt like the imagery was lacking. I am a fan of cyberpunk and sci-fi theme as well.

I think I know what you mean - there's not a lot of edge to the cards. I still enjoy working with it but I am still hoping for my perfect cyberpunk that is gritty but also colourful!

Can't work with the Deviant Moon at all. Not sure why everyone is so enamoured with it. It just creeps me out. Don't mind shadow work but not with that deck...

Fair enough! I was a hard no the first time I saw it, definitely an acquired taste

I’ve had some luck with side shuffling or corner shuffling decks that are too big for me to shuffle long ways, but only if the card stock is thin enough to allow it. It’s so weird but true that card stock can really break a deck that we otherwise would really like.

Crow Tarot is hands down the deck that I pull out often to read with... and then just don't. Sigh. I definitely find the cardstock to be a contributing issue with it as well. I really want the Influence of Angels, but I'm afraid that I'd experience the same thing as you because Serpent and Peacock firmly fills that role for me.

Ooh the Serpent and the Peacock is gorgeous! Another one that is on my list, but I probably don't need another deck in that niche...
