Hello! Please can you say what deck you are using here? Many thanks :P

Cat decks = happiness Oh boy grounded wisdom 😅

Who’s your fave doctor who?

The first series of Jodie’s Who was awesome I thought, but the second and the third (especially) were poor, which was a shame.

really lovely choices, the Soul Mirror oracle looks really special, so I have added that to my never-ending wish list. thank you for sharing xx

always enjoying listening to your channel while I sew...wonderful and I now have a longer wish list of decks and books haha xx

Great video as always. The Bones Fall in a Spiral … woah, looked into it and added it to my wish list. I read about a contemporary necromancer recently in ‘Witches of America’ and let’s say his practices were not ethical (if this dude was even telling the truth) so I’m curious to read this approach! I really need to get ‘Reading Lolita in Tehran’ I see it all the time in used book stores. Oh my GOSH Soul Cats! 🐈‍⬛ I’ve never seen this before ( I don’t think 🤔) Gathering Moss was one of the best things I’ve read this year, or ever, really, and you’re realllly making me want to read Ulysses again but WHY would I do that to myself right now with everything I’m trying to get through 😂😭😭😭

Ooo I bet this is going to be good! I watched the first 5 minutes and I have to tell you I impulsively bought the Craft Decadence Oracle 😂 I’ve seen it before and could no longer resist lol But I have to go to my daughter’s little band camp performance so I’ll watch the rest later 😊

The ‘tour de fleece’ 😂❤ I love that! Your knitting/crocheting/weaving skills far surpass mine, (I crochet) I’m in awe! Beautiful work. I love your decks, really nice collage work, and omg I’ve been looking for a Doctor Who deck for years 😊 So much fun! That cedar chest is so beautiful ❤

Thank you so much for the video…. It inspired me to acquire some of this decks to review on my channel as well. I just subscribed to your channel so I will be watching!

Wow! I am really amazed by all your projects and arts and crafts that you have been doing! I have been thinking about creating my own deck based on my father‘s art. He passed away a year ago and was a prolific artist. It’s very personal as you can imagine. I am still at the stage where I am visualizing it in my head, but not have actually taken any steps to turn it into reality yet. Anyway, please keep us up-to-date on all your crafty projects. This is very inspiring!

Amazing idea and execution!

Wowza, you're so talented! Thanks for sharing your various projects with us 😍

Holy deck studies, Batman! No wonder you're studied out! I can't blame you one bit. I'm not too far from finishing my Hellenic Oracle study. Once that's done, I think I'm also gonna chill for a bit 😆I'm still salty about the Literary Tarot guidebook 🥴Makes sense that you'd wanna create your own, and kudos to you for reading several of the works you were unfamiliar with!

I am so impressed at the all the things you got done in a month! I'm studying the Witch Sister at the moment, totally love it. I'm feeling the Thoth itch too.

It’s so cool you work with the opera. Do you have any favorites? I went to the Met to see Le Nozze and Don Giovanni, a dream come true, 2 of my happiest memories.

I LOVE that someone finally did a VR to this tag! Been waiting & was quite shocked tbh 😂 thought it was brilliant. I absolutely LOVED your choices/truly appreciate how authentic deck(s) were to you & your native land & felt experiences (but of COURSE🥰)!!! Couldn’t agree more btw; life is indeed ‘weird’ 😜but hey! Thank goodness we got the plants as franndsss to sit through the ‘weirdness’ with 🙃 Side note: if ya haven’t seen the Green Planet yet, do itttt! Ha it’s just planet earth for plants and made my heart so happy so sounds like you’d enjoy 😉 Loved everything about this/thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

Fantastic pairings!

Hi Nicole. I am also trying to be more discerning in my deck purchases this year. I went through a period where I was seeing a deck review on KZfaq, then immediately buying the deck if it was a reasonable price. But now I am doing more research, and deciding if a particular deck is needed in my collection for a particular type of work. If not, then it just goes on my wish list for another time. I am also waiting for tarot of echoes to be available mass market. I would also love to have the Arthurian tarot in English. I don’t know if it will ever be published in English, so maybe I need to bite the bullet and just study it in French using a translator. Thanks for sharing!

That’s so sweet you found a copy of the Da Vinci Enigma at that book sale, for 4 dollars! The annotated Apocrypha sounds super intriguing. Can’t wait to watch your book sale haul vid, I’ve been so busy, I’m so behind!

I bought some James Joyce in May as well! Not Ulysses (im too scared 😂) but A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and The Dubliners. I'm so curious about Step By Step Irish.

Anne of Green Gables was my Waterhouse influence as well 😂

Hi Nicole. Your voice was really clear Despite the rain and thunder. I thought the storm was really cool in the background. I’m curious about something… Do you typically plant vegetables and herbs in the same pot? Does that work well? Is there a rhyme or reason to how you pair varieties into one pot? At 6:58, I noticed a bunch of deep reddish/pinkish plants in your pots, but I don’t remember you mentioning what they were. Those are gorgeous! I love the idea of a native plant rescue. I have never been involved in that before. I will have to look into it in my area.

Hello! Thank you for doing this VR! 🤗 I really enjoyed your choices, especially the DWT, the Witch Sister Tarot & the Sea Soul Journeys Oracle... L♡ ve those decks! 🥰☺️

Hello Nicole! What a treat to see your VR! 🤗 (For some reason, KZfaq didn't notify me & instead I stumbled upon your video in my feed) It was so lovely to get to know you through your deck choices. Thank you so much for doing a VR & for the shout-out & the kind compliment about my channel 🌸☺️ Happy weekend to you! ☀️

I've never watched Dr. Who, but I love your deck--the borders and everything!

The pink is unapologetically there you're right, and I like the range of pinks used. Alas this collage deck isn't my vibe and I don't know what it is that causes collage decks to not sway me (except for one). The guidebook seems well made with good info. In any case thank you for the flip through!

Gorgeous. 😍

Philosophy Bites Back sounds like fun, adding it to my list, you always have the best recommendations. The Jhumpa Lahiri books sound fascinating! The art of translation is one of my obsessions, and one of the reasons I’m so drawn to Nabokov (did you hear about the famous feud with Edmund Wilson over a translation of Eugene Onegin? Lol) I told my sister once, that I’d love to read Dylan Thomas translated in another language and then translated back into English again to see what we’d get!

Oh no, another beautiful deck 😫😫😫😂 I’ve never seen the Marea, what the heck?!? I loveeee Fortune’s Wheelhouse. Speaking of which, have you looked into M.M. Meleen’s decks at all?

This deck is lovely! I love the art on the original but I have to admit that the atmosphere of so many cards in the Marea are unlike anything I've ever seen. Cant wait to see how you use it, if you end up showing it in your monthly wrapups!

Love this little selection 🥰 The Spiritsong is one of my all time favourites ❤️

It’s funny you mention Goth Lit November because I have been planning for it myself 😂 I had a bit of carryover from last year, so I definitely plan on doing it again! On the Epic of Gilgamesh: Have you ever heard of ‘The Forest’ by David Byrne (of the Talking Heads)? It’s music he wrote inspired by Gilgamesh and it’s set during the Industrial Revolution. How cool is that? I was planning on talking about it in an upcoming video actually. It’s soooo beautiful, and I know you like orchestral stuff too 😊 one of my favorite albums!

Love how the Edgar Allen Poe book looks

Carceral Humanitarianism sounds sick A few others also caught my eye especially the myths of Scotland I think that one I have or has been on my list

Oh man I’m getting this Mythos deck for my baby!!! Those images are perfectly high contrast for baby

I had similar thoughts on Master and Margarita: I did really enjoy it, but I’ve read a bunch of Russian lit and I didn’t consider it the best of the best as the Russian who recommended it to me did (we are not friends anymore, but it’s not Bulgakov’s fault) 😂 love Chekhov but I haven’t read The Black Monk! Sounds like I need to get my hands on a copy. I think I remember reading that Oroonoko was based on a true story but I’m not sure. It’s weird I haven’t read Madame Bovary, but there’s so many books to read 😫 I read a bunch of Gertrude Stein a few years ago and I find her fascinating. I’m going to look up Blind Owl! 🦉

Omg I want to read everything all at once. Remembrance of Things Past/In Search of Lost Time has been on my TBR for years… I bought a copy of Swann’s Way like … 10 years ago? Lol Thank you for the podcast recommendation; I don’t listen to those often but this sounds like a lot of fun. Much of Ulysses has stuck with me, and I read it maybe 6 years ago? Henry James is such an interesting person to me. I can’t say he’s my favorite either, but I’ve only read Wings of the Dove and some other short stories including Turn of the Screw, which I loved because it actually scared me, and I wasn’t expecting that. I think what makes it so scary is the fact it’s so elusive. I really want to read Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, I bought a copy after reading Death in Venice. Ok I’m still watching …. 😊

Really enjoying these videos. I always learn something new. I want to learn more about Iraq and Iran too. I added Stolen Harvest to my list … well, we’ll start there lol and yes: the Greeks are heavily sited in classic lit and that’s been one of the motivations for me too, when it comes to reading the works of the old, old blokes 😊

Holy cow, you read so many books! I’m jealous! I have to watch this again and jot some titles down. I’m tempted to read the David Fromkin book again, because I read it ages ago. I’m excited for The Little Red Chairs. I think I need to read Dreams of Being Eaten Alive because woah … the Zambian space program? I’m so intrigued, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that. Also, chocolate mint sounds heavenly! I love mint in general, but struggle to make it thrive for longer periods of time.

😍😍😍

Wow you’ve got a lovely collection ❤

This was great! Love the map! That would definitely motivate me to scratch everything off lol ‘Reading books about books’ made me laugh: that’s how I discovered Borges lol 😊 You know what’s crazy, I haven’t read Kite Runner? Definitely have to do that. I was thrilled to find Jamaica Kincaid’s ‘My Garden Book’ in a local thrift store, and I need more … she’s been on my TBR for ages! And I agree: I read 100 Years of Solitude some years ago, and I was like Holyyy … Wow. There are some passages I’ll never forget.
