The above video is the lecture without the students. Below you’ll find my notes from today’s lecture. I did hold a public lecture earlier today, but I forgot to record it. Be sure to join me for the next lecture on lesson 4 – Tastes Change, Has Yours? I will be sure to post details on
Welcome Students,
In today’s lecture, we will discuss the wishlist and why many choose to use such a device in their collecting practice. (Tour Lesson 3). We’ll break up this lecture focusing on the following:
Who: Deck collectors – new and old. A Deck wishlist is for those who want to a) keep track of their desired decks; b) be held accountable to their budget and their collection; c) remember what deck really called to them and to stick to deck purchases on their wishlist. Questions to ponder today: 1. Are there instances when it is okay to buy decks not on the wishlist? 2. Are there people who choose not to keep a wishlist and why? 3. Who benefits the most from wishlists? 4. Who may benefit the least from a deck wishlist? 5. What are your personal takeaways?
What: Deck wishlists. What is it? What is it not? I will show you my own personal deck wishlist and you will see me make some updates to my master spreadsheet from some sought after decks that have finally made it to my collection. We will discuss some other software that people use to track their decks and wishlists. Some are simply kept on a word or excel document. Others use websites, such as Amazon, to store wishlist items. Here are some other book storing apps that folks use to track their decks: Litsy, Goodreads, Scribd, Libib, Serial Reader, Delicious Library, Reco, Library Thing, Book Catalogue, Gerty, Book Crawler. Questions to ponder today: 1. What are some tips on how to make the most of wishlists in your collecting habits? 2. What are some challenges to wishlists? 3. Are there advantages to using an app versus a less structured method?
When: When to add, update, or delete a deck from the wishlist. We will look at my own wishlist to see how I manage it – when I choose to update it and why. Questions to ponder: 1. Do you always add every deck to the wishlist? 2. What are some benefits to keeping up to date on the wishlist? 3. What are some disadvantages to always referring to the wishlist? 4. When should one begin to keep a wishlist? 5. Are there reasons someone should forego keeping a wishlist or adding an item?
Where: Wishlists should be able to be accessed anywhere and everywhere. This helps in easily updating it in real time versus trying to remember or recall later what decks we want to add to our list.
Why: Wishlists gives those of us who need it, a sense of security and the freedom to not make an instant purchase. We can have a “cooling off” period, which is great for the budget and the collection. It allows us to do those spreads I have added to this course. It allows us to analyze the decks we are drawn to and why. It gives us a quick reference for loved ones who wish to give us decks, especially for those who have public wishlists.
Take the free course, Choosing Your Next Deck, Curating Your collection for more of the collecting process and how to make the most of your deck procurements.

A video on the latest with Abundant Life Tarot Academy’s first course: Choosing Your Next Deck/Curating Your Collection.
This video also includes a rundown of all the spreads that are included in this course. There’s been edits to the spreads and I added a whole new one to the course, for a total of five.
Check out what’s coming up in September at Abundant Life Tarot.
This video details the latest happenings and what to expect in the coming month for the business, Academy, and the Channel.
Not much has changed from August to September in the way of updates, but I do like to keep touch on a monthly basis with my folks.
After the launch of the Academy, I took a little unexpected hiatus from social media. Something told me to tune out for a moment and catch my breath. After I did so, I came to the realization that I was focusing too much on things that were no longer serving me and it was time for a big shift in my life.
I discuss the big changes happening in my life in my vlog series, which will primarily be available through the ALT Premium free membership on this website. I will periodically post vlogs on YouTube, but the vast majority will be right here on Abundant Life Tarot. I have recorded about 7 vlogs so far, so stay tuned for them to begin popping up on the website.
I am not big on announcing small, unplanned absences, because often times they are usually not for too long. Some content creators feel compelled to make such announcements, but I do not operate like that. I take the days or weeks I need and then resume and keep going. I have a large backlog of videos I can publish if I am not feeling like recording new videos, so for me, it is not too much of a big deal because I have the content to keep going, even when I am not feeling like being in front of the camera.
I may take much needed breaks, here and there, from time to time, and I encourage others to do the same for their mental health’s sake. If I anticipate me taking a break longer than a month, I will make such an announcement.

The Latest with The Herbcrafter’s Tarot Study Group
I have recorded parts 1 through 7 of the Major Arcana of the Herbcrafter’s Tarot. Part 8 will be published next and will feature the Judgement and World cards. Once I have published part 8, I will set up a Lives or virtual meetups for those of us who are ready to discuss the Majors.
I will be recording the Herbcrafter’s Tarot’ Minor Arcana card video parts in the near future.
The purpose of the Herbcrafter’s Tarot videos and study group is to:
enhance the connection we’re forming with the deck
prepare us for the study meetup sessions we’re going to have related to this deck
help those new to the deck to get to know it better
be a reference for those who do not yet own the deck
be a reference for those who do own the deck
There will be comment threads going up in Abundant Life Tarot Group on Facebook, which will allow those who wish to discuss the deck or the videos a chance to do so before our official virtual Lives or meetups, so be sure to join the Facebook group to be a part of the conversation. Also, feel free to comment on the YouTube videos, too, as I do read the comments, as do others, and we all learn from one another when this kind of engagement is happening.

I was exhausted and rambling – sorry! Spoiler Alert: as it turns out, I left my hubby’s mancave behind and you’ll see that in the later modules of the course.
Thanks so much for watching!
