just in case anyone wants new tarot content I have made a youtube channel where I sit in the back of my car and talk about my tarot decks and practice. its only two videos so far but i have so many planned already. i'm aiming to film another today and then i for the one after that i'll have to spend a little bit of time scripting/outlining. im really enjoying just letting myself talk about my hyper-fixation, just letting it be messy and imperfect. i hope someone else does, too. im just looking to find tarot community you know? i can only talk of two of my husband's ears before he runs out of ears

Reasons why I unfollow online tarotists

... after watching their deck compilations

1) “I couldn’t connect with this deck.”

You’re supposed to use the same spiritual source for all of your divinations: your higher self, the Universe, or divine patrons. “I couldn’t connect with it” literally means you were unable to connect with yourself or with your deities via that particular deck but were able to do so with the others. That’s nonsense. Do you drive a red car better than a silver one? Or, it’s like saying the water is tastier from the left tap than from the right, while both of them are connected to the same well.

That being said, the number one reason I stop watching a Tarotuber is: the cause of misconnection is deck mistreatment. Mistreated decks won’t be precise, can lie too, and contradictions are more common, but it’s never the decks’ fault.

How could I trust a reader’s predictions if she (most cartomancers are women) mistreats her decks? If there’s one mistreated deck, chances are the others are not treated well either.

2) “I haven’t used this deck.”

*looking around in a John Travolta way* What are you waiting for? How connecting with your deck is not the very first thing you do? It’d take 3-5 mins at max to introduce yourself and browse all the cards. 

I can’t imagine what kind of professional / full-time cartomancer someone is if she doesn’t have as much free time for a new deck as a coffee break.

3) “I don’t know the meaning of XY, but...”

Said mostly in the case of Oracle cards. If a cartomancer doesn’t bother to study the most important bit of cards (that is symbolism), how could she be legitimate?

I don’t want to hear someone just bullshiting around or someone who only relies on her intuition - then I’d seek a clairvoyant, not a cartomancer.

I get triggered whenever cartomancers purchase deity-themed decks, but they can’t pronounce the gods’ names - blasphemy -, let alone knowing what forces they rule over. Sis, don’t use such cards if a Percy Jackson fan knows more about deities than you.

4) “I love this deck so much” & “These are my least favorites...”

First of all, you must love all of your decks. Equally. ((The first deck is an exception, again.)) All of the decks draw power from the same source; distinguishing them doesn’t make any sense. Or is it the design that you appreciate more? What if your parents loved your sister more because she was prettier? 

Second of all, don’t impulsively buy something. Read the reviews. Look up the card designs and themes on Google, Youtube, or the website that sells them. As for me, I don’t like anything that has to do with crystals. Then I don’t buy decks with crystal imagery on them. I don’t like toxic positivity. Then I don’t buy decks that elaborate as deep messages as a fortune cookie.  I’m not an encyclopedia. Then I don’t buy decks whose theme is unfamiliar to me. I’m a Venusian; everything needs to be aesthetically pleasing for me, so I carefully examine the design of the available/uploaded pictures of some cards of the desired decks. Don’t like the drawing style? Then I don’t buy it, hence there’s no disappointment when I get them.

But if the disliked decks of yours were gifts... maybe tell people to not buy anything for you unless they’re certain of your taste because cartomancy decks are not one-size-fits-all.

5) Hoarding - and most decks are rarely or never used

Although you need a source to communicate with the decks, they have their own identities. They’re not mundane items like shoes, designer bags, makeup palettes, or comic books. So, for a collection of over 10-30 decks, I’d make sure I used different ones every single day, taking care of them equally. None of them would be forgotten.

I don’t see the reasoning behind purchasing new pricey decks if they get “thrown into a corner” as dust catchers. Because yes, this reckless habit plays a role in deck mistreatment. Don’t be surprised that a deck is disconnected from you if it’s been treated like a Walmart coupon.

6) Mess - untidy room, improper storage

Guess I don’t need to discuss it much... I keep my decks in their original boxes on a special place dedicated to them, and a clean cloth is placed under them. Before I offered them to my deities, I promised them tidiness and protection; they thank me with accurate readings in return. Not surprisingly, I get a headache when someone else reads on filthy surfaces, among book piles, gadget cables are everywhere, or the decks are “bare” on a shelf and their cards slide side to side. Cartomancy decks are occult tools; treat them as such.

7) Cards kept reversed in their storage

I was taught that let the higher powers decide the positions of my cards. Indeed, I got more inaccurate interpretations when I kept reversed cards from the previous readings, and my former shuffling technique didn’t allow the cards to freely turn sides either. 

We need a fresh start for every reading. Even if someone uses the ‘washing machine’ technique (placing the cards on a table and mix them around freely), they should collect the cards upright after the session.

Of course, it doesn’t apply for cartomancy types like Lenormand and Kipper where there’s no reversed meaning because they were meant to be used upright anyway.

It really frustrated me that the only way to access the poetry associated with the Poesis Oracle (created by Andrea Wan, poetry by Megan King, design by Aaron Dawkins) was to use the website that is white-on-black. No guidebook? Understandable. No PDF download option? Unacceptable. So I decided to be the change. This is a PDF file of all of the poetry taken from the official website. Feel free to download. All of the poems are online for free there, they're just nigh impossible to navigate and painful to perceive. Hope this alternative helps.
