She discribes in the book that all figures depicted regardless of what card you could show as an example are androgynous. Meaning they're neither male nor female in all technicality. One of the statements/questions asked in the book considering The Hierophant is: "Are your traditions and beliefs a source of strength and inspiration, or do they keep you from expanding your knowledge?" You will also find that she also drew on Norse Myth for the creation of the deck, of which I happen to be a Norse Pagan myself, and one of the most interesting things you find in Norse Myth is that the gods and goddesses shapeshift into other people, genders, and animals (i.e. this also challenges the idea once put forth by the Theosophist, Dion Fortune, that "All gods are but one god, all goddesses are but one goddess, and there is one initiator"); even Thor himself, though he never once shapeshifted as we can tell from what sources we do have, as the most masculine of all the Norse gods relunctantly cross dressed per the advice of Loki, to present himself as the goddess Freyja and Loki shapeshifted into Freyja's handmaid, to retrieve Thor's hammer due to the fact the giants had stolen it because one of the giants wanted the hand of Freyja in marriage. When it comes to the specific question as stated above, for better clarity, is: Do you automatically always just assume fairies to be feminine and project preconceived notions and ideas of what you want or think them to be onto them, or are you willing to accept what's presented to you and simply allow it to be what it is? I once heard on The Astrology Podcast, the astrologer of the show invited a tarot reader onto the show because he had learned that tarot has astrology within it, the tarot reader said "People have a hard time letting the deck just simply be." It could also be worded differently, challenging Dion Fortune's coined statement when going back to the Norse gods and goddesses, such as the following: Do you always just assume all the gods to be one god and all goddesses to be one goddess with one initiator like a Perennialist or even a Monotheist, or have you finally learned as presented by the Norse gods and goddesses that they can shapeshift and therefore there really is more than one god and more than one goddess without a single initiator presenting themself in different aspects or manifestations no matter how much similarity or overlap we may see between this god or that goddess and another or this pantheon and that pantheon? Cicero, Roman Advisor and Philosopher in his book "On the Nature of the Gods", argued that we should be much more careful rather than assuming that this god is that god and this goddess is that goddess and "these two pantheons" are relatives. And he argued this because these notions and ideas were beginning to pop up during his day and therefore is not a new concept in our own day. Just because we may see similarities and overlap at initial and misconstrued glance even between something like the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses, upon further research and inspection, we find they are not the same god and not the same goddess and this one pantheon over here is not the same as the one over there even though there may have been some adoption or appropriation here and there and may very well find the same god or goddess in both. This one question as first stated above can be applied to all areas of life. The way I have always worded it, because I have dealt with this problem my entire life with people around me constantly trying to turn me into something and someone I'm not and never have been, is: Will you only love someone for who you want them to be, or do you love someone for who they are? I do kind of draw on her question a bit to be somewhat of a public outcry, if not a direct public outcry by MJ Cullinane herself, considering the current state of our politics and a certain group of people constantly wanting to take away the autonomy of people so they can't be who they are. And not just specifically taking away the autonomy of women, but also of all walks of life and spirituality for all people regardless of gender or orientation, beyond their own preferred religion. Mind you I'm a man and identify as a man saying this, and yet I understand because I am Norse Pagan in light of what we're faced with currently, because we have the lessons of Dark Age and Middle Age Europe to know where the preconceived notions and ideas of the specific religion spoken of yet remains unnamed eventually leads to for all people who don't agree with them when they have control of everything: ostracization, oppression, censorship, hate speech toward people like ourselves and propoganda against us, and even to the extent of the worst you can fathom for anyone that's not them through their fear mongering, conspiracy theories, and narcissism. We thought we had moved past such things. But alas, it would seem we haven't, even though it seemed we had. Much love to you and yours. We will make it through these troubling times together.
I ordered this deck as well maybe you can tell me the books that you ordered as well on the herbal thing or astrology thing so I can understand this as a beginner
Thank you! ❤❤❤
Which edition is your aesop fables?
As someone who is just recently stumbling upon this particular deck, can I just say I am absolutely obsessed! I have long been looking for a deck that would fit the bill of an everyday carry for me, and this just checks so many boxes. I love that I can use it as a tarot if I want a tarot reading, a lenormand if I want a lenormand reading, so many of the extra cards I feel like I can just use as an oracle to play with my intuition a little, or I can just use it as a playing card deck to play some solitaire! I don't know if I can say enough about how intrigued I am regarding this deck, and I am so glad it was made!!
Aw, I love that so much, you have just made my day! I love her so much as well, she is a cartomancers dream because that is why I made her. I love to hear when the right person stumbles on the deck! Thank you!
Oh wow, this is another deck I bought years ago and never opened but mine didn't come like this. I only have a shrink wrapped deck. Made me wonder if I had a knock off but I checked and it's from the author. So I'm guessing it has a pamphlet inside since no guidebook came with. I have the 2nd edition. I'll open tomorrow 🤔
Ahh, I had heard that it was released again, but I didn't know it was just the deck! The original book was such a great one. If you get her full book, The Complete Lenormand Handbook, it just expands from this and is really well done.
Can't believe it's been 9 years at least since this deck came out. I own it and have never opened it. Time to get familiar with it.
This is a really great deck made by someone who really knew Lenormand well and then gave it a nudge towards oracle and a naturistic practice, very well done!
I actually like the minors bordered in their elemental colors and the majors borderless. It makes it incredibly easy to see suits and majors in a spread. I’m learning pip deck reading and bought the universal tarot of marseille which similarly has different colored backgrounds for each suit.
Generally that last name is pronounced Fay-len.
❤
Sold! I’ve been watching your Lenormand videos all day, seriously! I had a saved IG post on his box set…. Now I know this will be my first deck. TY… you’re effing cool 😎
OMG this is sooooo much! You are amazing me…. I know these videos are yrs ago but you can write a book just on how you home in on the “topics” or “focus” cards of a Tableau reading. TY sooooo much for sharing ALL this!
Hi I have been going down your playlist rabbit hole....just a question on you noting that links will be available......do they expire after a certain time, since these videos are 9 yrs ago do those links get removed?
Unfortunately there was a time way past these earlier videos where I thought I could add to all of my detail sections in one swoop and instead it wiped them or replaced them, I can't even remember now O.o
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Many thanks.
I was able to get the indie version on mercari recently. Being patient pays off.
Wow, thank you so much. This was really cool to see all of the old decks. 😍
Just got my hands on this deck and I had to run here for your advice on how to work with it! Lol Thanks for sharing ❤
Wild Unknown hits very hard coz of the sharp contrast in its colour theme. Its on opposite ends. Thats probably why you couldn't resonate with it. Shadowscapes is softer, more balanced, the colours dissolve into each other, thats probably more fitting for you due to the gentle mood it sets 😊
Very true! I ended up having a long path with the Wild Unknown but at first, it hit too hard as something that my son might have drawn so I am thankful for Shadowscapes to hold space when it was needed!
This deck has been calling me by my full government name😂 absolutely beautiful Thank you for your reviews i absolutely adore them🥰 if you ever happen to come across anyone wanting to re-home this deck please let me know ❤ give away or purchase.
Thank you so much for the review…. I just recently got the the deck and I am so excited to finally review it on my channel….😊
such a beautiful deck ! i am soo torn between a tarot and large size
It’s a hard one! Tarot is my favorite and the most versatile, I think, but Patrick’s is the large lol The large is divine but probably best for people who focus on one to three card readings. I don’t know if that helps!
Sigh. I had high hopes BUT these seem so...."I just got into witchy (Wicca 😂🥱) stuff" whole vibe. Very very basic info....this is seriously to me a huge issue with oracles etc. I've been a practicing traditional witch for 38yrs so such basic info and text is. Just not remotely near where I am. This is SUCH a problem I think in books decks all it. Endless beginner vibe etc. I get it's hard to get huge selling items that are intermediate or advanced tho....sadly most it seems in this area don't travel far beyond the "beginner" level of anything they study or practice. Lots of buy buy ....new but never deeper and deeper. Hard to explain.
I can definitely agree with you on this, I was excited about this series for the seasonal shifts but most of them sat in a box for a verrryyyyy long time as I don't use them in readings. But I will say it has been nice for a quick card of the day with a not too deep but gives me a focus with the tarot card pull. The text has always been it's weak point for me, I'm glad they have improved it though.
Inspired and inspiring walkthrough. What a COLLAB! Your mutual joy and kindness are uplifting to observe. Thanks so much. Glorious product. Ordered both physicals. Thank you for sharing them!
Thanks so much for your kindness and so glad for the shared resonance!
Aw thank you for taking the time to dive in with us and I truly wish you joy in exploring the world!!!!
@@TheTruthinStory @TheLivingWheel I see there is class coming up, too! I kept thinking about the type of effect these types of interactions with AI will have on it and our collective futures. "More Magic" seems a lovely prompt for all of us. Thank you both!
Unfortunately your 2nd spread completely bamboozled me. Lots of chat but no explanation why you were putting cards top and bottom etc. Very confusing and way too long to watch a 3rd time😢
I'm sorry you were bamboozled and hope you continue to find joy in working with Kipper!
I have this card too , OMG you have all my decks 😮😮😮😮
I guess we have similar taste :D
I have this card too 😮
Can you please do more different kind of spreads of this deck ?
I generally just pull three cards for standard oracle decks, but you can certainly use it in any kind of spread that you find for tarot or oracle!
@@TheTruthinStory thank you 🙏
New subscriber here ❤
Thank you
I watch a lot of your videos. I don’t normally comment, but I just had to let you know that as soon as I saw the first few cards, I knew I had to get this deck. It spoke to me that much. The only other deck that’s done that to me is The Unicorn’s Journey by Lisa Papez. Thank you for creating such a beautiful deck and safe world to work in.
Aw, welcome in, I really hope that you enjoy working in the space, I truly appreciate your taking the time to comment that!
I know this is an old video. But I wanted to say how much I love your videos and the way you explain things. Thank you for sharing with us ❤
Aw thank you so much and you are very welcome!!!! ❤️
I'm interested in hearing more of your thoughts about the eight of cups here, and its significance. 17:30
I watched the video of the card flip through and I have to say, these images touched my heart. I feel like this is “heaven”, this is the realm I want to go to when I lay down this earthly body I am currently inhabiting. I ordered the tarot sized deck and the physical guidebook. I had watched your “rabbit hole” video about AI from last year. Such discussions tickle something in my brain about the nature of reality and all of THAT, but I won’t get into that right now! Lol! It is intriguing. Is AI a realm or a being or a being in a realm or both? (As for it ‘becoming sentient’…I suspect it already is!) Thank you for this, it is beautiful!
Ooo, that is definitely an interesting way to think about it, is it a space where beings inhabit or a being showing itself in different forms? It FEELS to me like a space where beings inhabit but is that just placing my preconceived ideas about space onto it? :D I agree about the becoming sentient 100%
As an artist I can’t support an AI made deck. AI art is only possible because these programs use art made by human artists to teach the program. Those artists are not credited and receive none of the profits from these programs and the products the programs create. Without actual artists making the art the program would not be able to create this deck.
As an artist as well, I understand and respect the stance to not use AI generation, both as a tool and as a deck… and, I am assuming, of all forms including assistance, productivity and writing tools. Obviously, I take a different stance and have done my own research and made my own conclusions but do not consider this the space to debate it, nor am I interested in attempting to convince someone of my take. I think that people should have complete transparency when they are using AI art, which we have done across multiple videos, which leaves people free to purchase or not purchase a deck. This deck was made in a space of joy and healing, and I have no stock in which to try to sell, if someone wants to purchase it from the printer and play in that space, wonderful, if not, that is their choice and I support that as well.
@@TheTruthinStory This comment was not meant to cause offence, but as a general stance I have against AI art. I work in the arts and this is a very hot topic now and one that is only going to get to be more of an issue as the AI continues to develop. I’m glad that you have been very transparent about how this deck was made. That way people can decide if they want this or not. The deck is beautiful and I’m glad you both had fun making it. I just can’t support the current AI art programs because of how they are based on actual artists art without any credit. We all have different stances and opinions on it and have to decide each for ourselves if it’s something we want to use or support. I’m sure there will be lots of people who love this deck and have no issue with it.
@@LouValcourtI took no offense, I respect your position and understand it is a hot topic. There are many places that people are debating these issues and I am just choosing to have this space not be one of them.
How do you purchase the physical guidebook? Im not seeing an option in MOC when you order the deck
MPC is only the deck, there is a QR code when you get the deck that has the PDF and other digital goodies but if you want a physical copy of the book I have put a straight link up at www.thetruthinstory.com/inner-world-tarot
Congratulations
Thank you so much!
AI art is unethical and is impacting the tarot market greatly. Such a shame this tool was used. No matter the reason.
I 100% understand that there are many people who will not purchase AI art created anything, and that is their right to have that opinion. I also believe that there needs to be complete transparency on how a deck is created so that people can make that choice for themselves, so we have been completely transparent on the how this deck was created and why. I am choosing not to use this space to have any arguments on whether AI art can be used ethically, obviously I believe that it can be, but there are many spaces for that discussion.
@@martys_musingsAgain, I have no interest in making this an overall discussion space on AI, nor have I ever chosen to try to convince anyone to agree with my conclusions on anything. AI discussion is all over the internet and you are free to discuss to your hearts content on your own or those venues. These videos are about my sharing a deck that is clearly labeled with how it was created along with several other videos of exactly why and how it was created. This is my channel and videos and I am comfortable to maintain their purposes as I see fit. I support people’s rights to come to their own conclusions with their own research and support transparency in what is being used to create a deck whether that be traditional, digital, photoshop, or AI.
Love!!! Where do I purchase this deck??!
Link is in description of this video :)
This looks incredible! I love it! I know you get a free PDF of the guidebook with the purchase of the deck but the book looks so good, I’ll definitely need to buy a copy. Now I just have to figure out what size I want :)
How absolutely stunning
Thank you so much!
This is already my favourite deck. And I don't have it ordered yet even. Beautiful idea and beautiful pictures. I can't wait to have it. And I would so much love to do my own map one day! ❤
Wow - so glad it has found such resonance with you!!!
Well thank you for making me cry lol, not that it is too hard, both Patrick and I are very emotional around this deck and I truly hope that you do make your own map one day!!
Hi. Cool deck concept. I went to the website to look into purchasing the tarot size. Does the $65 cost include the guidebook and shipping? I don't see this on the site. Sorry if I missed it.
Depending on your size choice, when you click on the link it will take you to Make Playing Cards purchase for that size you clicked on, once you put it in the cart it will tell you your shipping cost. It comes with a PDF guidebook and other digital bits and an option to purchase a physical copy if you want one :)
OMG Such joy! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Kelly, is your Mapping the Inner Landscape class still available? I'd love to create a map for myself, and I'm just thinking about all the ways I could us it in trauma therapy, as well. Congratulations on the deck, you two. ❤
Hello Lauri and thank you for your kind words! It is a workshop called Inner Landscape. On July 28th I'll also be doing a Technology Meets Practice workshop that will look at the mapping again, more tech as the focus. www.thetruthinstory.com/workshops
So lovely. Grinning away watching this! Congratulations.
Aw, that makes me so happy, look, I have been grinning like a fool so I'm happy to have someone grinning with me!
Kelly and Patrick beautiful work! Having trouble with the MPC site to place order. I will try again tomorrow ❤
If you keep having trouble please email me at [email protected] and I will help you work it out :)
I have to admit it Kelly, I really wasn't keen on the AI idea for the deck but I'm happy to have my mind changed after seeing the completed deck and listening to the thought process behind it from you both. Congratulations on producing a beautiful insightful deck! How easy is it to get the PDF guidebook printed?
I was definitely in your same mindset and even understand people who stay not keen on the idea of it but I am glad you were able to at least see where it came from! When you get the deck there is a QR code on it that will take you to a dropbox of digital goodies, that will have a link to Lulu.com if you want to have it printed. It's as simple as popping it into the shopping card. :)
@@TheTruthinStorythanks Kelly I'll go check it out
STOP IT!!!!! OMG this is beyond beautiful Kelly 🧡💚
Aww thank you!!! ::HUGS::
🦋👏🏻🦋
i have ordered my copy, it is a magical deck!
Aw Anna, I hope you enjoy it!
Just placed my order! YAY! When you first showed your AI dabbling video, I was in love with the images. Although I was hoping for an oracle deck, I love this take on a modern tarot. Like Patrick, I was sooooo sad at the end of Nelie’s story and wished it had a different ending. The Lighthouse card here brings warmth to my heart❤️ I’m looking forward to receiving and working with it. Thank you for offering and showing all three sizes. I decided to go large so I could dive into the imaginary landscape. ❤️🤟☀️
Ohhh yay, welcome to team large! Hahaha - well, I love them all, in fact, not gonna lie, I've slept with my poker sized one in my pillow case sooooo... haha! I hope you love it!
@@TheLivingWheel LOL! I had the poker size also in my cart, but with s&h, plus tax…not in my budget right now cuz I do want the printed guide book. I figure can get poker size down the road. Thanks for the great collaborative work and best wishes with sales.
@@karensorrentino9498 Exactly, Poker sized isn't going anywhere and the printed guidebook also sparks SO much joy!
I thought Peter was going to be the only Team Large lol :D And... don't count out an oracle ;)
@@TheTruthinStory I had my eyes on the poker size for several reasons, but when I compared the images, I felt the expansiveness of the landscape and the endless possibilities. It feels less constraining, if that makes sense. I’ll keep my eyes open for an oracle 😁
