    1. Love the Light Seers Tarot. Recently got the Everyday Witch deck – still feeling like we’re getting used to each other but super cute art work.

  1. My current favorite tarot deck is the Golden Thread Tarot. I love the black and gold of the cards. Simple and beautiful!

  2. I use oracle cards more often than traditional tarot, my favorites being Work Your Light and Moonology. I like your perspective on tarot, as it’s similar to mine. I enjoy the artwork and see the cards as journaling or thought prompts. They can absolutely coexist alongside other belief systems!

  3. I like the Heraclio Fournier by Anne Stokes. It’s a gothic tarot set on amazon. I think it’s really pretty even though I haven’t gotten it yet.

  4. I absolutely love all things tarot ive been doing tarot readings since my teen years and ive yet to really find a deck that I absolutely love, i do have one that i like it’s a fairy deck

  5. I love tarot and oracle cards. I have a big collection of decks and I just got my boyfriend interested! We are going to do a deep dive on tarot, the history and symbolism for our podcast!

  6. My favorite deck is my Golden Girls tarot. The vibes of that decl is like getting wrapped in a warm hug. It’s a very easy deck for me to read so it’s my go to when the going gets tough.

  7. I absolutely love tarot. I have two favorite tarot decks, an anime one and one that has dragons on it.

  8. It’s my birthday today! I’m looking forward to watching horror films with friends tonight I’ve been collecting the tarot cards in the fairyloot book boxes but still have a long way to go before I have a full set.

  9. I have the Wildwood Tarot. It has been a deck that has been calling to me for years. When I finally got it, it felt like an instant connection!

  10. I have a Supernatural tarot deck, and I love it, but sometimes the story tie-in is distracting…I think it would be great to try a new deck.

  11. My favourite tarot deck is Radleigh Valentines Angel Wisdom tarot. I’ve actually trained with Radleigh and I’m a certified Angel Tarot Reader, along with several other courses. Living a spiritual led life has really changed things for me, and I wouldn’t be without my tarot and oracle cards xx

  12. It’s so hard to pick a favorite – at the moment it’d have to be The Enchanted Forhaxa Tarot by MF Cullinane.

  13. I love The Goddess Tarot by Kris Waldherr. It’s my deck for just me! The most recent deck I’ve bought is the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Tarot and it is SO fun!

  14. I love my Tarot collection. My love for it started with the Arcana Chronicles by Kresley Cole, now I have so many decks. My favorite is my celtic druid set. The cards are gorgeous and just help me calm.

  15. “What is your favorite Tarot deck or spread?” Light Seers Tarot is my absolute favorite deck. I’ve been using tarot cards for 12 or so years. I don’t use spreads much. I ask questions as I shuffle and, as long as my emotions are neutral, I get clear answers.

  16. I love Tarot cards and have my own collection. I haven’t counted them…but a whole dresser drawer full.

  17. I’ve never used tarot cards before but I’d love to try them out. They have always interested me though.

  18. I’ve really been looking forward to see Sarra’s tarot collection. I love today’s party favor, I can’t wait to find all of the words.

  19. My favorite Tarot deck (and my only one at the moment) is my Raven’s Prophecy deck by author Maggie Stiefvater! Her artwork is beautiful and it just really spoke to me

  20. My all-time favourite tarot deck is the Radiant Rider-Waite but my current go-to deck is the Tarot Magick deck by The Witch of the Forest (Lindsay Squire).

  21. Can’t wait to see your tarot collection! Longer videos suit me just fine, though I’ll probably have to watch the replay today.

  22. Honestly I have a cheap set I got on Amazon because it came with crystals (that I’m not confident are real). I got it for a girls weekend that had a throwback sleepover theme and hadn’t used tarot cards since I was in my teens, probably. But we had so much fun with it that I’m enjoying learning more about it and wouldn’t mind having a nicer set – I don’t even know what my options are. I actually wouldn’t mind designing my own one day. (I’m a graphic designer.)

  23. I just purchased and received the Tarot of the Haunted House by Sasha Graham and love it so far!! I love how each card is a scene in the story and you can get so much out of it!

  24. My favorite tarot deck is the Santa Muerte , Book of the Dead Tarot by Fabio Listrani. & my next deck I’d like would be the Light Seer’s deck.

  25. 3 or 7 card spreads. I loved doing tarot but my ex hated it and made me get rid of my collection.

  26. Tarot and Oracle cards are so calming to me, whenever I’m super stressed, I always go to my favorite decks and just shuffle until the card/s pop out that are usually very accurate on why I’m so stressed or how I can overcome it. I’m not really into using them to divine the future but to look deeper inside my subconscious to find the root causes of my issues.

  27. My favorite tarot deck is the Everyday Witch by Deborah Blake. It’s my only deck (so far) and I love it. I didn’t really know anything about tarot when I bought it, but I chose it because the illustrations called out to me and it felt like a perfect fit the first time I used them.

  28. I got a tattoo tarot deck from my mom that I like a lot. So far I’ve got 3 tarot decks and one oracle

  29. I’ve really been digging The Harmony Tarot lately (not your typical arcana), but I usually end up going back to The Witches Tarot.

  30. I tend to use Oracle cards more often than Tarot, but my favorite deck is the Pastel Journey Tarot Deck by Vanessa Somuayina. Its super cute, pink, and anime inspired.

  31. I’ve never used them- I’ve felt intimidated not knowing what I’m doing but i would love to try!!

  32. I was always intrigued by tarot. I was inspired by you to buy my first deck last year. It was the Light Seers deck. I love it!! It’s a great deck for a tarot newbie.

  33. I have four tarot decks. The Deborah Blake mini tarot is on my wish list. I also have one that you color in yourself. I like that one for imparting my own energy into the cards. Creative Blessings!

  34. I have the Animals Divine Tarot by Lisa Hunt app on my phone. I am researching a real deck to purchase.

    Do you think that an app with Tarot cards is as good as a real deck?

  35. I just love Tarot as well as Oracle cards. I learned a lot from watching you and taking your spiritual class last year!

  36. I love tarot cards. I am not very proficient with them but am very drawn to them. Loved this video.

  37. My favorite deck would have to be the first one I ever bought myself- Shadowscapes tarot. The imagery is beautiful, but it just called to me in the store. I bought it Halloween of 2014 after decades of reading using playing cards.

    1. I love “past present future” spread. I only have my mother’s old deck which is one of those that uses different names for the cards than the traditional ones so it’s slow going. I love Biddy’s site, but mostly use the Galaxy app when I feel the urge to draw a card.

  38. I’m currently using The Wildwood Tarot deck because I really connect with the nature themes.

  39. I currently have the farie tarot deck by Nathalic Hertz. Its also brailled so I can do readings without straining to look at the cards. My favorite spread is the zodiac spread.

  40. I like using *past-present-future* pulls when making big decisions, or when others ask

  41. I have never done Tarot readings before. But I have a creative deck I use from time to time, which was inspired by tarot. It’s from an Italian start-up called Sefirot and is called Intuiti.

  42. I haven’t used a tarot deck before but I’m very interested in seeing what you have to say at 4 today!

  43. There are so many out there to choose from but, I do love the artwork of the Light Seers Tarot Deck.

  44. Sorry I missed this live! I was looking forward to it, just one of those days. Thank you so much for sharing your tarot journey. Tarot has been an important part of my own journey for a long time. It is super for self-reflection.

  45. The Light Seers Deck is my favorite artwork out of the ones you showed today. It just gives all the feels. Happy Wednesday <3

  46. I haven’t used a Tarot deck before, either. Watching people describe them or use them instills a sense of wonder and connection, though, and I’d love to get started.

  47. My favourite deck is the Somnia Tarot by Nicolas Bruno which is all really beautiful photographs. I also follow artist An-Nhien Nguyen who is illustrating a tarot deck at the moment – some of her cards have been on Stickii Club sticker sheets.

  48. My favorite tarot deck is my Tarot of the Divine deck. It is based off of fairytales and the art is absolutely beautiful. I have never bonded with a deck as closely as I have with that one.

  49. I like the original Ryder deck and I’ve used the osho deck. Different situations require different tools, right?

  50. ✍️

    I still remember the first time I stumbled upon a Sarra Cannon novel. Her captivating tales didn’t just pull me into the world of fiction, they ignited a newfound passion in me. Inspired by her vivid storytelling, I began to pen my own tales, attempting to weave magic into words, just as she does.

    But Sarra’s influence didn’t stop at reading and writing. Through her, I also discovered the mesmerizing world of Tarot. The symbols, the stories, the guidance – it’s another form of storytelling that speaks to the soul. And yet, I haven’t had the chance to own my very own deck.

    To win this giveaway would mean so much. Not just for the joy of reading, writing, or delving deeper into Tarot, but as a cherished token of the journey Sarra has inadvertently set me on. Here’s hoping the stars align!

  51. I really love the Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law – it is ethereally beautiful. But a little hard to read as I’m relatively new to Tarot. I remember the artist from the days of ‘Elfwood’ art gallery online (back in the late 90s). I was so excited to see her illustrations again.

  52. It’s hard to pick just one, but I would have to say my favorite is the Wild Wood Tarot. That being said, my mom just gave me a traditional Rider-Waite deck in beautiful gold foil for my birthday. I have a feeling they will be a favorite. They’re gorgeous!

  53. I just ordered the True Black deck, it looks amazing. Threads of Fate is another small business that make amazing decks as well. I also started using the Writual Tarot planner and it gives me a great space to record a daily three card spread and guides me through several other spreads. I also find that I really connect well with Rune Stones for strong readings.

  54. I’m interested in learning more about tarot and how it coordinates with astrology. I also need a kick in the pants sometimes that might come from the cards. πŸ™‚

  55. Sarra, I really appreciate how vulnerable and authentic you are! Sharing your thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives ❀️ thank you for showing us your personal tarot collection, and your tarot journey. I personally got into tarot in my early 20s, and I am still learning

  56. My favourite deck is The Witches Tarot and tales of the Mystical Cats. The cats because a friend gifted it to me

  57. My favourite tarot deck is my seer deck. I try to use it daily. If I’m busy I sometimes forget.

  58. I love word searches!!! I’ve only had one interaction with tarot cardsβ€”a reading at the fair. The woman had a lull in line, and as I walked past she told me she’d do my reading for free. It was SCARY how accurate the reading was. I wrote it in my journal.

    I know nothing about tarot, and am researching good beginner decks!

  59. Hello, my favorite decks are Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus. I also loved the movies so when the tarot decks first came out. I was excited and had to get them. You have some great decks that I will look into getting some of them. Thanks for sharing your tarot decks.

  60. Loved the tarot videos! I’ve always been interested but have never bought a deck yet.

  61. I’m currently working through a 78-day card challenge hosted by Esther — aka @MindfulTarot on YouTube — called the #dropm78, where we spend one day going through each card of a single deck and reflect on a set of three prompts: define, detail and discover.

    I chose Sasha Graham’s Dark Wood Tarot as my deck for the challenge, and given that it’s only my second time going through a deck in detail like this, it’s been really interesting to see where my personal reflections deviate from what Graham offers in the guidebook and where she is able to offer a resonant perspective I hadn’t considered before.

    We’re just about finished with the Pentacles, but it’s never to late to join if the challenges sounds interesting to you!

  62. I have to say probably The Wild Unknown deck. She was my first, my sister got it for me. I remember seeing pictures of the deck and I just knew it was the one. Althoughim interested in getting the Linestrider Deck as well. I just bought myself a new deck recently it’s Alice in Wonderland and I have to admit I got it mainly. Because I’ve always loved Alice in Wonderland and specifically the Cheshire Cat. But I’ve seen the imagery on the Lightseers Deck a few times now and I fully plan on finding one of those as well. But yeah I’d have to say the Wild Unknown is my favorite.

    1. My favourite deck is the shadowscapes tarot. I’ve been using it for almost 2 years and the artwork really speaks to me.

  63. The Ravens Dream is my go to for this season. My favorite type of spread is a 3 card. The questions will vary time to time but I find it to be an easier way to put the meanings together for me.

  64. I’ve never gotten into tarot but I did see Christian oracle cards on the AMZN so I might have to pick up a deck.

  65. Loving these blog posts! My favorite tarot deck is The Light Seers. I have both sizes! But I also really enjoy reading with the FRIENDS tarot deck. It’s just so perfect!

  66. I haven’t ever used Tarot, but I am very interested. I appreciate that you shared using a deck that speaks to us personally because I hadn’t thought about that. It makes sense to tap into that energy when using these tools for doing energy work. As you shared your decks, I really like the Light Seers deck’s illustrations. I felt it aligned more with how I hope to understand and receive the messages from the tarot deck I use.

  67. I’ve just got my first oracle deck (the moon witch oracle deck which is gorgeous!). I’ve really been enjoying doing a 3-card – past, present and future spread. My non woo-woo husband even was interested a pull a spread to see what it was all about!

  68. My favorite tarot deck currently is a tie between The Unfolding Path and The Necronomicon (Insight Editions). Runners up are Tarot of Haunted House and The Tarot of Vampyres! I recently got the Indie deck The Outlaw Oracle which I am loving too!

  69. I loved, I think its called, The Light Seers one so much. I’ve never done tarot but I’m pretty interested in trying to use it as a tool in writing for when I get stuck. I also think it would be awesome if you did another video on how to use tarot cards πŸ™‚

  70. I love all the tarot talk! My favorite deck right know is the Golden Wheel tarot. The imagery is beautiful and I connected to it right away.

  71. I loved your blog on the tarot decks you have. I have not ever used one before but your information has me curious. Enjoying all the events and can’t wait for more.

  72. This was so cool! I have a little collection of Tarot cards and LeNormand cards as well.
