Inner World Tarot: Music Quick Flipthrough
PLEASE NOTE: This video, and the others in this playlist, are about the creation of the Inner World Tarot in a place of joy, healing and exploration of modern liminal spaces, including textual and image generation AI. These videos and the deck are invitations to be curious and to engage in that space if you want to. These videos are NOT invitations to discuss AI in general or to use my platform for arguments or discussions surrounding it and I am comfortable with setting boundaries in my own spaces. There are many forums and places on the internet where this discussion is taking place and I support people using those as they choose. I support people doing their own research and coming to their own conclusions and would never seek to convince you of my stance, that is your job as an individual, critical-thinking human being. I support transparency in the use of AI in any format so that people can choose how they engage or purchase, just as I support the transparency of whatever medium someone has used whether it be traditional art forms, digital art forms, photoshopping images, or using AI. We could not have been more transparent on how this deck was created and I hope that, if nothing else, it has been interesting to see.

The Moonchild Tarot: Comparison Video
Oooh, loving this! I'm on that German path, as I learned from you! 🤗🤗
Kelly, this is a beautiful deck. The Star lighthouse... What a perfect concept for the Star. Yes! I will be ordering my copy this week. Congratulations! Very excited. ❤
What are your settings to cut wood please?
It all depends on the wood! I try to stay with softer woods such as cedar and alder for this machine!
This deck is on my wish list! Some reviewers express distaste for the backs but I personally love the unique shrimp-like creatures. Bright, sunny blue skies and lush vegetation impart a sense of vastness and space on the cards. The images are richly coloured with a twist of the abstract - almost Salvador Dali-ish in nature. The deck is consistent and stays rather true to the tennets of the RWS. The balance scales on the Night of Swords represent the astrological sign of Libra. The cloud person pouring water on the Page of Swords court card corresponds to Aquarius (swords akin to air signs). Check for other astrological signs that may accompany their respective court cards as well. Gorgeous deck! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! This deck! And that past, present, future reading! A real wake up call! Usually I'm not a big art deck person, but this is one that needs to go on my wishlist!
Gorgeous cards! I neeed the soul cards. Love that the women in the Anna K. are not stereotypically “beautiful” but are still worthy in their own right because of who they are and what they represent, not their appearance. We have become so desensitized to the typical beauty standard (and extreme thinness) in our decks (and elsewhere), that an average looking person (who ironically comprises the majority of our world) is almost offensive in an what is deemed an otherwise beautiful deck.
Thank for sharing these and your loss. Peace to you.
I have this deck and it is the most beautiful artwork ! 😊♥
Bjr comment apprendre le deste ❤❤❤tout simplement
I know this is 8 years on, but my oh my, it was so beautiful to hear your thoughts on this amazing deck. I remember feeling so much depth in the 6 of swords card with that deluge of rain falling down. Everyone cries, including the malefactors, despite their abuse of power. Rain is so neutral and I love that as an image of oneness and healing. And the other card I immediately zinged with was the Hanged Man. Bats are renowned for their extrasensory hearing. Their eyesight isn't great, so they track everything with echo location, like dolphins, so even though they are upside down in repose, they are inextricably linked to everything in the dark by their hearing. It's a beautiful commentary on the interdimensional aspect to the card and hearing from within. Thanks for the beautiful video.
How do you play games with tarot spreads like tarot solitaire?
I've just bought to use with The Witch Sister Tarot. Has anyone used these deck? If so, what's your experience?
You sound so much like Joan Cusack. 😊
appreciate the detailed review ty
You are very welcome :)
This deck is so beautiful!!! The Seeker! Patrick- “I need a Dragon too!”, and wallah! Purely gorgeous on so many levels! I LOVE the deck, the collaboration, the story of it all. ❤ Thank you Kelly and Patrick!!!
LOL he instantly needed his own dragon, it was funny, I'm like, sure, of course, let me grab that right away, my friend :D I am so glad you love it, obviously I do as well, so 1000% bias :D
Although this video is 3 years old, I am just now buying this deck. I have had Prisma Visions 2nd edition for years and was considering getting Mira Visions, but the changing cards feels overwhelming to me and I’ll start with the regular deck and I’ll wait on the Mirra.
This is one of my all time favorite decks and one of my most used, it is amazing for transitions and liminal situations, changes are occurring, patterns that are playing out in this life, or generational, or past life, etc. Love it, I hope you enjoy it!
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.
