This Thursday, we will be discussing Deck Non-Negotiables. What are yours and have you been sticking to them as you buy new oracle and Tarot decks? This livestream will be on YouTube and it is inspired by my FREE course, Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection. Join me! Thursday, 5/20/2022, at 2:40 PM Eastern Time.
This live discussion replay will be added to the course, just as I’ve previously done for prior discussions/lectures from the Choosing Your Next Deck Course.
Join me as we discuss some common misconceptions and straight up myths surrounding the idea of collecting decks.
Hello! My FREE course, Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection is where we learn how to be mindful Tarot and Oracle deck collectors. There are 10 lessons and for each one, I hold a live discussion/lecture to talk about certain topics arising out of the coursework.

We had a great time discussing our deck collecting habits and our beloved deck collections today. Check out the replay and don’t forget to leave a comment here or on the video.
Join me on Thursday, January 20, 2022, at 2:40 PM Atlantic Standard Time for a YouTube livestream where we discuss what’s now on my shelf, collecting habits, depth year, and what’s next.
I experienced a low buy depth year in 2020 and it carried over into 2021. For my depth year, I pledged to myself to refrain from buying new decks, crystals, and books. It has turned into quite a life changing time for me! I have had a chance to reflect on my deck collection and collecting habits and I’ve learned a lot about who I am as a cartomancer and as a collector.
We’ll take a look at what’s on my shelves as I discuss my depth year musings, 2022 reflections on my collection, and what’s next for me in deck collecting.
I’m back in America and finally coming to terms with all of my Tarot and Oracle decks that I left behind when I moved abroad. I left behind 44 decks and now the day of reckoning has arrived. I am taking you on my journey as I trim my collection and decide how to get some to my new home in a new country.
Part 1: The Deck Boxes and Which Decks Are Ready to Be Sold…
Part 2: The Decks That I Want…But Some Need to Go…
Part 3: Some Straggler Decks That I Need to Discuss…
Are you struggling with your deck collection? Look no further than my FREE course Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection. Whether you are a new or seasoned collector, this course can help you feel much better about your collection and tips on how to easily tweak your collecting habits.
In this livestream discussion/lecture, I discuss how to know when you’ve made a connection with a deck and when you have a not-so-great connection on your hands.
Some questions we’ll dig into are: ▪How do you know when you have made that special connection with a deck? ▪What are some telltale signs? ▪How do you know when you have a “meh” or lackluster connection?
This lecture series is a part of the free course I offer on my website called Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your Collection. We deep dive into how we can begin to be mindful in our deck collecting habits.

I recently culled my deck wishlist, with the help of my friends on YouTube. During my YouTube live, I was able to cut my wishlist from 50 to 23. After a couple of days of tidying up my wishlist even further, I was able to get it down to 11 Tarot and Oracle decks.
I had to be really honest with myself on why I really wanted a particular wishlist deck to be added to my collection. Oftentimes, I found that the desire for that deck has waned and I no longer really want it. Other times, I was able to discern where a particular wishlist deck had qualities in some of my decks that I already own.
I added a “date added” column on my spreadsheet to track when I added a deck to my wishlist. This will help me to see how long a deck stays on the wishlist before I make a decision about it. I do track how much money the total cost of decks are on the wishlist and the grand total is $486.11, which includes shipping and customs costs. Out of the 11 decks on my wishlist, I identified five that are very likely to be added to my collection at some point in the future. The total cost of the decks that are “very likely” to be added to the collection is $186.17. All but four decks that are very likely to be added were placed on the wishlist this year.
It feels reassuring to have a solid wishlist that includes decks I want in my collection, reflects my current tastes, and is realistic in terms of my budget. My wishlist ballooned to 50 last year because I was in a Depth Year (where I refrained from making new deck purchases). A sweet spot would be about 5 decks at a given time on my wishlist, as I plan to limit deck purchases to no more than 5 in 2022.
A beautiful surprise happened for me during this culling wishlist process. A dear friend who was on the YouTube live session with me saw one of my wishlist decks and offered to give it to me, which is such an unexpected miracle – as it is out of print and very difficult to find. I did not expect that and I am so grateful.
I now have the task of updating my Tarot and Oracle tracking spreadsheets to reflect what decks are still in my collection, which ones have been sold/given away, and which ones I plan to send to my new home. I will also identify more decks to sell and giveaway, too, as I plan to cut my deck collection by up to 50%. I have my work cut out for this project, but it is a worthwhile endeavor and I promise myself that I will see to it that all of my decks make their way to their proper home – whether that’s to me or to a new person.
Not everyone needs a wishlist, but for those who do, it can be a great way to analyze your tastes, see your anticipated costs (don’t forget to add shipping!), and to help stay on track of getting decks that do not have “non-negotiables” or has qualities that are already found in another deck that’s already in the collection.
Do you have a wishlist? What do you find really useful about them? Where do you struggle with wishlists? If you don’t use a wishlist, what are ways you track your desired decks or changing tastes?
