618 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:57,440 Lauren's used to us just going on very long rants about things that bother us. 619 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:02,440 So there's different ways to use Oracle cards so you can use them you know just stand alone 620 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,640 throw them out throw them out in a spread throw them out by themselves do a little three 621 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,880 cards you know any any way you want. 622 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,120 Or I've seen a lot of people pair them with with like another Oracle deck or they'll pair 623 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,080 them with a tarot deck to kind of get insights. 624 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:25,960 I know I've watched a lot of videos of Lisa Pappas that Lauren introduced me to and she 625 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,640 will in the morning she'll draw an Oracle card and kind of get like a topic for the 626 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:39,680 day and then she'll draw tarot cards to see you know how to best navigate that topic throughout 627 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:40,680 the day. 628 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:46,080 What are things she can focus on what are things she can you know look at throughout 629 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:52,840 the day to figure out you know how to problem solve and stuff like that. 630 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:58,920 How else have you guys heard of other people using Oracle cards in their practice. 631 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,960 My introduction to Oracle cards was I was looking for a tarot deck. 632 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:04,480 This was you I mean this was. 633 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,240 Oh god like 20 and so many years ago. 634 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:16,160 Yeah almost and I picked up a different deck that I didn't it was an earth I call it my 635 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,160 earth deck. 636 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:18,600 Do you remember the name of it. 637 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:26,600 No but I call it my earth deck with the same idea as you like thinking that oh Oracle it 638 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:33,920 must be a different type of tarot and it wasn't but I just kind of picked it up like that. 639 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,960 My friends use them all differently. 640 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:46,560 I have one friend who will use it and then will also like cast runes at the same time 641 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:47,560 you know. 642 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,760 I have an episode on runes for sure because I want to figure it out. 643 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,800 They're so that's why I want to get the green glyphs tarot box set because it comes with 644 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,720 runes and then that book looks like really you know in depth and I could use it to. 645 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:02,720 I feel like you're still watching yourself. 646 00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:06,280 I am I am I'm really trying to talk myself into it. 647 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:14,800 I feel like oh yeah that is it earth magic by who is it by Stephen D Farmer. 648

happy and sad 788 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,480 about all of it. 789 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:20,600 I am sad I have I have one specific friend that that likes Twitter and I'm sad that her 790 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,480 happiness is being taken away. 791 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:27,240 That's that's mainly my sadness around Twitter. 792 00:46:27,240 --> 00:46:32,440 The rest of it is just like I hope Elon Musk loses a lot of money. 793 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,240 I'll probably edit all of this out. 794 00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:37,320 Why they already know that we're. 795 00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:41,320 I believe that I'm an anti Elon Musk. 796 00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,680 I don't want the the Musk fanboys to come after us quite yet. 797 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:49,160 Let's wait till we have a hundred episodes before we let the Musk fanboys go. 798 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:54,040 I'd feel that way if Pinterest was like going down that route. 799 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,960 Right yeah if okay just as long as Elon doesn't buy Pinterest. 800 00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,720 Oh my god please no. 801 00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:00,720 Oh yeah. 802 00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:03,840 I 10 10 10 do not recommend. 803 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,800 Let us not manifest that into reality. 804 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:14,360 So what I was gonna say before that was that I do have a deck that has blood and it drives 805 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:19,120 me a little bit nuts that I did that on the edge but it's got to be the card stock and 806 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:24,400 then like yeah the cover the film or whatever they do to seal the picture onto the other 807 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,400 cards in the later. 808 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:32,320 I wonder if they didn't seal the edges and that's why it's bleeding. 809 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:41,440 I mean you typically don't see sealed edges and like it's already been gilded or they 810 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:42,440 put color on it. 811 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:43,440 Right. 812 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,400 Because then you wouldn't be able to edge it if it was sealed. 813 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:46,560 I don't think it would be like. 814 00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,240 Well you could if you cut it off and then and then did it. 815 00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:51,240 Yeah. 816 00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:58,400 Have you watched Lisa Pappas has a video on card stock all about it. 817 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:02,000 Oh no I haven't watched that yet. 818 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:06,240 Oh it's very interesting extremely informative highly recommend. 819 00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:07,640 She goes over like the cores. 820 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:13,860 I didn't know all of these cards had cores in them or if they don't have a core then 821 00:48:13,860 --> 00:48:16,120 they're called art paper. 822 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,640 A core. 823 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:25,840 The core then would be what causes the bleeding because no it's not sealed around the art 824 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:26,840 paper. 825 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,080 So like it'll be like a black. 826 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,800 You got to watch the video because she can explain this far more eloquently than I can. 827 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:39,200 But basically like there's different cores so there's like black blue white and then 828 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:46,520 no core and so black is like the strongest core and if you hold it up to light this is 829 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,200 what they use in casinos. 830 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,840 So if you hold it up to light you can't see anything on the other side. 831 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:52,840 Oh. 832 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:59,040 Blue core blue core is a little bit not as good and like you would have to take like 833 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,120 a flashlight really close to it to see what's on the other side. 834 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:07,480 So it has to do with opacity. 835 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:18,160 Yeah and then and then it's a lot of decks nowadays are technically printed on art paper 836 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,680 not card stock. 837 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:28,080 And then but like so the weight of the card stock is in grams per square meter. 838 00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,800 So the GSM of the card stock is like how thick it is. 839 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:39,400 But then depending on what they coat it with it could be you know a lot stiffer like even 840 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:46,440 a lighter GSM could be a lot stiffer than something coated in something like less stiff 841 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,360 but thicker card stock. 842 00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:52,760 There's a whole mess of things that goes into it. 843 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,560 All I learned from that well I learned all of that from that video and then what I learned 844 00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:03,360 about myself is that I want everything to be in linen coated card stock. 845 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,320 So that's my message to creators. 846 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,160 I like linen. 847 00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:12,520 So extra cards maybe three or four extra cards in linen card. 848 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:15,400 We could probably even have like a whole podcast based off of this. 849 00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:21,680 Like we should all just watch that video and then we'll make our notes and share our opinions. 850 00:50:21,680

--> 00:50:24,680 Yeah I mean this podcast is also just our opinions. 851 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:25,680 Well that's true. 852 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,680 I was like we could just have an opinion podcast. 853 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,680 Wait a second we already have. 854 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:33,800 Brittany what do you think we are doing currently? 855 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,640 What do you think I just said about Elon Musk? 856 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:36,640 It wasn't a fact. 857 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:43,720 So I was gonna say I like linen and I like how it looks on linen but when I use my tiny 858 00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:48,000 hands to do shuffling with linen it makes it thicker. 859 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,000 So it's harder. 860 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,240 Me and my tiny hands. 861 00:50:55,240 --> 00:51:04,520 I have pretty big hands for a lady and I still have trouble shuffling and Brittany I don't 862 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:11,160 know okay when we were at your house I think this last time we were at your house it was 863 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:16,360 like the spring or summer over summer. 864 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:21,240 Because you have a bunch of oracle decks that are really big and I was like how do you even 865 00:51:21,240 --> 00:51:26,320 shuffle and you turned it like upright and shuffled it upright. 866 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,640 I was like it blew my mind. 867 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:31,760 I didn't know you could do that. 868 00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,520 It had to be on its side I thought. 869 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:35,520 No it doesn't. 870 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,680 It doesn't have to be on its side. 871 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:42,560 I'm just very static apparently in my ideas of shuffling. 872 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:43,560 That's alright. 873 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,800 My niece what she does is she actually will put them on a table face down and then she 874 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:51,200 will spread them all out and just kind of like um. 875 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,200 Pick one. 876 00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:56,240 Yeah well do it like yeah I do like in circles and she'll kind of like mess them up a little 877 00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:58,880 bit and then she'll pick one up from there. 878 00:51:58,880 --> 00:51:59,880 Yeah. 879 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,280 Because she can't shuffle either. 880 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:03,280 So yeah. 881 00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,280 I don't. 882 00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:05,840 I like to riffle shuffle. 883 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,760 That's my ideal. 884 00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:18,080 But I do have a deck that the you know how when they come in their little boxes sometimes 885 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,480 they'll split the deck in half and put the two halves on the thing and then the book 886 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,480 on top. 887 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,480 Yes. 888 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,480 I don't like those. 889 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,480 Yes. 890 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:27,480 None of my. 891 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:28,480 I don't like it when they do that. 892 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,480 None of my oracle decks have done that so I have no idea what you're talking about. 893 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:41,320 One of my tarot decks was like that and one half of them was like maybe like a millimeter 894 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:47,240 bigger than the other one and they don't shuffle right because they're not all the same size. 895 00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:49,360 Oh I hate that. 896 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:56,160 That is what has turned me off of doing any deck modifications to my deck with like cutting. 897 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,520 I think edging would be fine because that doesn't affect it but I'd be too afraid to 898 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:04,160 cut it in because it's just going to be so hard to shuffle after that and I do really 899 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,320 love a nice little riffle shuffle. 900 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:12,000 I do think it's important to note that I don't have any objections to other people modding 901 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,760 their own decks. 902 00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,640 Some people say like oh you know it's the creator you're ruining what the creator did 903 00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:20,040 and doing it. 904 00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:21,320 It's your own deck you bought it. 905 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:22,920 You can do it. 906 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:24,720 It's a mass printed deck. 907 00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:25,720 It's not a big deal. 908 00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:30,360 You can go to a museum and do a deck modification on like the original tarot deck and you're 909 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:31,360 fine. 910 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:36,040 Anything other than that you're fine is my opinion. 911 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:42,480 I've never even considered modifying my decks so that's like you were talking about the 912 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,520 shuffling thing for me. 913 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:49,800 Like I was like wait a minute you can modify your deck and I was like duh and I was like 914 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,360 oh yeah you can do that. 915 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,080 Yeah it's big on the YouTubes right now. 916 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:03,520 A lot of people Boho Tarot on YouTube she does a lot of deck mods that are I mean she's 917 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:11,760 really good at it and so some people will like add paint to their cards even just to 918 00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:16,480 like you know like bring out pops of color or change like a you know a color in their 919 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:21,560 aesthetic that they don't like or something you know anything. 920 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:28,880 My cat has come to entertain the ladies and it's so funny because it's a black kitty and 921 00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:33,520 she's holding them in a way that they're in the shadow so it just looks like shadow and 922 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,480 then these two big green eyes.

923 00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,000 His green eyes he looked kind of mad for a second too. 924 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,120 Well he is a kitty. 925 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:45,160 Lauren how do you like to use Oracle decks? 926 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:46,160 Do you pair them? 927 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,080 Do you use them standalone? 928 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:54,440 I'll pair it with like yeah I'll pair it with another tarot deck generally if I'm just doing 929 00:54:54,440 --> 00:55:00,400 a quick spread I might like if I'm doing a quick tarot spread I might pull an Oracle 930 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:06,880 card to like kind of summarize or wrap up the whole reading or for extra guidance on 931 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:10,200 the spread I just did. 932 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:17,080 I like to do sometimes if I do a bigger reading I'll mix different Oracle decks together. 933 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:24,760 Again aesthetically I kind of like to keep it together in the same aesthetic or color. 934 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,840 It feels like it flows better personally. 935 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:34,320 I have done it with like different different art styles to see like how I feel about it 936 00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:38,360 because I know you know all the YouTubers or whatever I watch will try and like match 937 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:43,480 art styles and I was like well let's see what happens if I don't it's very jarring it feels 938 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:49,640 like you're talking to like a devil and an angel on your shoulder like extremely different 939 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,640 people you know what I mean and it's like that would make a really good reading though 940 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:59,520 it would maybe yeah yeah it'll give you two sides of the story and I'm I'm over here like 941 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:06,360 but I need it I need a decision though I should make a decision you've made very good points. 942 00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:11,280 I was gonna tell you Lauren have you ever considered doing color magic or have you done 943 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:18,720 it before? I can't love color theory. I did like this in college I did a paper in my freshman 944 00:56:18,720 --> 00:56:23,240 year college is that a thing do we say freshman year anyways yeah yeah it's freshman okay 945 00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:28,480 it's been a while. I did a paper on color theory and my teacher looked at me like I 946 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:34,480 had four heads he's like this is a thing and I'm like yes yeah color theory is great. Oh 947 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,000 my gosh yeah now I'm gonna have to write that on the episode list I didn't know that was 948 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:46,400 a thing yeah also can you send me that paper oh my god I don't know if I could find it. 949 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,520 I'm kidding you don't have to do that I just have to write a new one. The way that you 950 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:55,920 talk about like color and all that stuff

like that um it just you know I had a moment where 951 00:56:55,920 --> 00:57:00,720 it was like I feel like you should really look into color magic yeah and see how you 952 00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:08,760 can. For listeners I went to art school for college and so and I majored in interior design 953 00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:19,760 and so color is a is a big thing in that field it can it sets the mood for the space so this 954 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:26,440 is why I'm a big advocate for color theory or psychology because I think it really does 955 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:34,600 play into your atmosphere and if you're in the atmosphere that makes you feel good right 956 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:41,600 then that affects you right right and vice versa. Oh he did meow yeah he's meow oh did 957 00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:49,760 he pick up yeah twice yeah oh we're gonna have to put you on the podcast oh my goodness 958 00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:56,160 yeah but um you mentioned that and I was like I really think that you should look into color 959 00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:00,920 mad or using color theory like in your magic and in your practice because I think that 960 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:06,520 you could do a lot of since you resonate with it so much I feel like your stuff could have 961 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:12,520 a lot more like um results or like whatever you're trying to do. I use it intuitively 962 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:19,240 already when it comes to like reading cards or I know there's so many like different divination 963 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:24,440 tools or divination how right how you would say it and so I already just naturally do 964 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:30,880 that with color in general yeah well now I'm gonna do a whole episode on it so get ready 965 00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:39,520 um what were we talking about any final thoughts any final thoughts before we do our lightning 966 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:46,480 round of uh oracle cards um I will say oh I guess I can talk about it in the lightning 967 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:52,800 room go ahead I'm gonna say is oracle is so broad and I think that's what I love about 968 00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:59,080 that is there's so many different facets and topics that one could go into you can mix 969 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:06,280 topics you could just focus on one there's just so many and that's what I love about 970 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:12,600 it is the options that come with it they're very versatile yeah you know it's one of those 971 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:23,520 things that um my only advice for oracle cards is don't put yourself in a box um if you uh 972 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:30,000 get my advice with oracle cards is um don't put yourself in a box um definitely explore 973 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:36,640 um if you feel called to a particular deck um and you're not really and you're not really 974 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:43,360 sure why um if you have the means get it it's it's very strange sometimes the tool

have she said that so many times okay I feel like she just really wants it now so I feel like 1001 01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:48,560 I feel like listeners if you really want to have fun um make this episode a drinking game where 1002 01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:55,520 every time Shelby mentions green glyphs that's what I'm gonna put on the instagram the green glyphs 1003 01:02:55,520 --> 01:03:02,240 drinking game oh man if Shelby if Shelby turns down practical advice you have to chug your drink 1004 01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:10,720 right um but yeah I agree with everything you guys have said plus um you know it's really great 1005 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:16,960 because usually oracle card um guidebooks will have even like suggested spreads that you can do 1006 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:23,040 so yeah I don't ever do them but you know a lot of people do 1007 01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:32,320 do this bad cat can you hear him yeah I'm gonna have to edit him out he's just making my job 1008 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:40,720 harder no he's going to blooper reel yeah um is that the okay is that the spritzer that has a 1009 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:47,200 bad ghost cat on it yes yeah I forgot to put the picture on instagram oh you can't see it 1010 01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:56,080 because of the lighting oh wait there it goes yeah yeah it says bad ghost bad water it's holy water 1011 01:03:56,080 --> 01:04:03,360 it's not really holy water nobody blessed it for me so um and big cat big cat is a deity so yeah I 1012 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:08,800 mean she blessed it yeah so let's get to our lightning round questions because this is 1013 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:14,720 Brittany thought of this question and it's I think or Lauren um it's my favorite if you could make 1014 01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:20,000 an oracle deck what would the theme be Brittany came up with that one and it is good yeah well 1015 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:30,160 thank you guys uh Lauren go first yeah I feel like I would kind of like merge all the different types 1016 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:37,280 of divination that I have interest in into one and it would probably come out more like a collage 1017 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:46,640 uh I don't know I I'm collageomancy I'm like a little bit of a perfectionist when it comes to art 1018 01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:53,760 so I feel like it would take me forever and a day to actually create this yeah that's fair 1019 01:04:53,760 --> 01:05:02,640 but maybe you could learn that the um done is better than perfect yes I am while making it 1020 01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:09,760 yeah maybe it would speed up the learning process what is this what is this madness you speak of 1021 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:16,240 well that and I want to learn more different types of definition like oh gosh what is it there's one 1022 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:23,040 where you could do like candles and it involves color but you can also like pour the wax out and 1023 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:30,400 do reading yeah in the water yeah they used to do that with lead too where you can pour lead out 1024 01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:36,400 where you can pour lead out and like what into water and like whatever shape it made you could 1025 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:43,360 interpret it so yeah that's the kind that I would probably end up doing who knows maybe 20 years 1026 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:49,280 from now I'll have one we can reference this podcast and see if it is on topics well in 20 1027 01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:55,120 years we better still be making episodes so oh man Lauren will Lauren will be selling her uh 1028 01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:59,840 uh oracle card deck totally well Britney's gonna have to write a book by then too 1029 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:06,000 yeah what'd you say I said hopefully by then y'all would have one too as well yeah like your own 1030 01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,360 designs and whatnot would either of you do one Britney did you think of one 1031 01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:22,720 you keep thinking I think I would make mine um so this might be just topical from what I watched 1032 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:29,120 last night but there's a person whose name I can't remember on YouTube hold on now I have to look it 1033 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:39,040 up well I want it to make it like backyard animals um Mark Rober so I guess he used to work at NASA 1034 01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:46,880 he sounds so familiar um so he I'll send you these videos I'll post them in the links below 1035 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:53,360 um he makes these videos where he does like a ninja warrior obstacle course for squirrels 1036 01:06:53,360 --> 01:07:01,360 squirrels yeah yeah my kid loves this video and I want it to be like squirrel possum raccoons like 1037 01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:09,120 those kind of like backyard animals in like backyard settings doing like weird backyard stuff 1038 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:15,120 I love that you'd have to make it more like backyard animals from like USA or something 1039 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:22,960 right from uh from our region am I allowed to say that should I bleep out Midwest it's very 1040 01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:28,880 it's very broad the Midwest is like the whole like middle corridor of the United States it's 1041 01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:36,640 everything not on the coasts right exactly so it's fine yeah but um I watched those videos last night 1042 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:43,920 and I got a little bit obsessed with fat Gus oh my god yeah you have to watch the videos they're so 1043 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:51,920 they're so good yeah it was it's fat with the pH yeah pH because it's fantastic because Gus is a 1044 01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:59,760 woman pregnant so she she isn't slovenly she has a healthy appetite thank you very much 1045 01:08:00,960 -->

01:08:10,160 because she's yeah uh let's make it's favorite too the up or the no the fat Gus okay 1046 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,880 apparently there's merch that I'm gonna have to look into I've said so much that we pretend play 1047 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:21,600 this as well oh nice ninja warrior squirrel ninja warriors with squirrels yes we're squirrels and we 1048 01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:27,440 pretend play and parkour throughout our house that sounds bombastic I love that 1049 01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:34,400 uh see I love how I came up with this question and then you don't have an answer I like I have no 1050 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:42,080 fucking clue um I feel like there would be a few different oracle themes that I might want to do 1051 01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:50,800 one of course would be like woodsy foresty themed because I just grab it's very vibes right I was 1052 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:56,640 like I gravitate towards that so hardcore um but I'd want another one that is almost like 1053 01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:05,920 Victorian tea party themed yes that's extremely Britney yeah and so like I like the idea of having 1054 01:09:05,920 --> 01:09:12,320 that and you know because it sounds really like frou frou but I love the idea that being super 1055 01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:17,600 frou frou and then the on the outside and then the more you read into it the more you realize that 1056 01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:24,640 there's a ton of layers to it just like um etiquette was like I'm not sure what that was 1057 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:33,680 just like um etiquette was during that time it was extremely layered so I like that idea um 1058 01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:39,360 and then there was a third one that I had um so I think I would want to do one 1059 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:46,960 that I'm pretty sure has already been done in a bunch of different ways um but it would be cool 1060 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:53,680 to do one with it's like the language of flowers oh yeah yeah where because I do feel like there is 1061 01:09:53,680 --> 01:10:01,360 uh I'm sure there's time you know no but I mean like you know there is um weight in you doing it 1062 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:07,920 yourself you know what I mean like you're gonna bring your own information to it your own um 1063 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:16,560 imagery to it so you know what one flower oracle might resonate with somebody yours might resonate 1064 01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:21,680 with somebody else and I still think it's worth putting out there yeah even if there's already 1065 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:27,040 other ones out there yeah so and that goes for all of our listeners if you have an idea for an 1066 01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:33,040 oracle deck and you think well maybe and other people have done it and you know just put it out 1067 01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:41,760 there and we'll buy it you shall be making a lot of commitments for us we'll buy it see we'll buy 1068 01:10:41,760 -->

using it but I got this yes I have that 1073 01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:22,800 one it's awesome it's the threads of fate lumen edition oracle and when they said that they were 1074 01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:28,320 going to discontinue it I had to jump on that because I was waffling over it and this is the 1075 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:36,800 one thing that I was like yes I'm I'm buying this my birthday is coming happy fucking birthday to me 1076 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:43,840 yeah see when you have a december birthday and you have no willpower when it comes to spending 1077 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:50,640 money because that's one of my favorite hobbies is spending money from our last episode for 1078 01:11:51,440 --> 01:11:56,800 zodiac you all should know precisely why spending money is my favorite activity 1079 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:08,800 so I don't have a favorite oracle deck I have several that I love using um but I'm scrolling 1080 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,920 through my amazon wishlist because I have one in particular that I would really like to have 1081 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:20,080 um other than the seasons of the wish yeah I almost feel like that earth magic one

I may have seen it on the three fat readers 1092 01:13:32,480 -->

01:13:38,400 it made me think of you when I saw that because thread and sewing and all that the other two I 1093 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:44,480 found them sorry so I'm going um yeah the other two that I want are is the dreamscape oracle 1094 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:53,360 um good bye I like that one too matt hughes and then there's the last unicorn tarot and I 1095 01:13:53,360 --> 01:14:00,000 don't even care that I can't read tarot I fucking love the last unicorn so I want it have you watched 1096 01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:06,960 any lisa pippes videos that I've been um coming out with her own deck with yeah she's coming out 1097 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:16,480 with her own last unicorn yeah and but she has a whole spread she has a whole spread to use the 1098 01:14:16,480 --> 01:14:23,920 last unicorn deck with that she does and it's okay it's based on the story of the last unicorn 1099 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:32,720 which is um the spread is yeah yeah so I also read the the book um the last unicorn by peter beagle 1100 01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:40,880 um the movie is pretty close to that the book is really good though um and then supposedly 1101 01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:50,240 there either is a sequel or he's still writing a sequel and it's about you know the last unicorn 1102 01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:58,800 thinking about like what happened to her before and like dealing with that but yeah I really want 1103 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:03,840 this last unicorn tarot so bad I have a sailor moon tarot too and there's a whole bunch of 1104 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:10,240 different ones um once again can't read it we're shit I try I even I'll even pull out the book 1105 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:15,680 and be like okay this is what it means and then I'll open up self and be like self let's interpret 1106 01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:23,760 this to what's going on in our life and I get like blank just like it's like please hold your call is 1107 01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:30,240 important to us I'm like anything if you read the book do you get anything from it when you do that 1108 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:39,360 then no it's so weird because like it's just like I just don't get anything from it and so I was like 1109 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:46,000 well maybe with practice or like whatever um what's really interesting though is if I read them 1110 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:53,760 without using the rules of tarot then it starts making sense and it'll often have absolutely 1111 01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:59,520 nothing to do with what that card actually means so britney does not like rules and shelby loves 1112 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:05,600 rules yeah all of the rules that britney doesn't like come to me and then I get twice as many 1113 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:12,880 rules it's very fun I love how the three of us um on various topics it's almost and it's not that 1114 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:19,760 always the same for each of us but on various topics one will be one poll the other will be the

1115 01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:24,240 other opposite poll and another person will be smacked up in the middle right with various 1116 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:32,000 different subjects right so yeah when it comes to rules I'm like fuck you shelby is like I adore you 1117 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:41,280 with Lauren's like depends on the rule I'll take it or leave it so I like I said I wanted that 1118 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:47,680 threadbound oracle but my current like favorite oracle deck right now and it you know I think 1119 01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:54,240 Saman was like the Saman oracle is also tied with this okay we're just gonna say tied but it's the 1120 01:16:54,240 --> 01:17:01,440 britney spears oracle yeah I can't get over okay his friend founded it target and gave it to me 1121 01:17:01,440 --> 01:17:06,960 and I was like oh this is gonna be like cute whatever fun it's actually like I read through 1122 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:13,120 the guidebook it's a well thought out guidebook the imagery is you know not not super detailed 1123 01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:20,080 but you know it's britney spears it's fun um you know I'm a millennial I love it so your backs are 1124 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:25,040 really pretty do you listen to britney spears in the background while you're reading oh I should 1125 01:17:25,040 --> 01:17:32,400 oh so there's the backs yeah and then the here I'll just read like an example of one in the 1126 01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:41,920 guidebook um I know britney is kind of a a little bit of a divisive figure right now but um you 1127 01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:46,240 know just don't at me if you don't like britney then don't listen to this I guess if you don't 1128 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:51,440 like any britney regardless of spelling don't listen to this um so like here's one it's like 1129 01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:56,720 okay the artist so like britney as an artist and it says britney's artistic talents that aren't 1130 01:17:56,720 --> 01:18:01,520 limited to music when she isn't working she loves to get in touch with her inner van go 1131 01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:06,160 and spend some time at the easel one of her flower paintings sold for ten thousand dollars 1132 01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:11,600 and proceeds went to benefit victims of the 2017 shooting in las vegas which I think she had a 1133 01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:19,040 residency there at the time too um just as she does with music and dance britney uses art to 1134 01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:25,600 express herself and never takes her work too seriously unlock your creativity and see the 1135 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:30,800 world in bright vibrant colors as the artist so I feel like it gives you like a little bit of 1136 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:38,960 background about britney like you know the the author of the the oracle deck who is why don't 1137 01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:44,880 they just clearly put who the author is I know that sounds crazy Tara Nesvig is the author and 1138 01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:52,240 it's illustrated by Helen Green um but the author is like really in like she's a uh 1139 01:18:53,680 --> 01:19:00,080 self-described britney super fan um so like she knows a lot about britney so like she can 1140 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:06,480 you know like you know I didn't know britney painted um britney spears I should say spears 1141 01:19:06,480 --> 01:19:11,520 instead of britney because we have a britney well technically I'm britney because I'm too 1142 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:18,400 britney yeah and she's britney but she's britney I was gonna say at your uh at your birthday party 1143 01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:25,840 you should give us a reading oh always yeah because now the whole thing is gonna be I think I might 1144 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:30,160 have a birthday party in January and I want to just have like what do you mean if it's not too 1145 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:34,640 cold I'm already planning for it you should you should plan for it and what's the theme 1146 01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:43,200 I think it's just gonna be a fun a fun time no theme no what what should listeners email in with 1147 01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:47,520 your theme you gotta choose the theme of my birthday yeah Shelby needs a theme for her birthday party 1148 01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:54,160 yeah um but I want to I want to have a bonfire if it's not too cold out which it probably will be 1149 01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:59,760 every time it snows on my birthday so like I'm already waiting for it to get cancelled that's the 1150 01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:07,680 best time to have a bonfire is when it's cold yeah um but yeah I kind of want to just like sit outside 1151 01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:13,600 the it's gonna be around I guess I don't know if this is gonna no it won't triangulate but 1152 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:19,120 it's gonna be around a full moon so I want to just like sit outside on the deck read some cards be 1153 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:30,000 around a bonfire it'll be great hashtag solar return um let's see so we got our favorite ones 1154 01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:37,440 and then oh do you have a favorite pairing of the two that you like to do best together yes I do 1155 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,800 what's your favorite pairing so I have two favorite pairings my first favorite pairing is 1156 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:54,560 um the Halloween oracle deck and the seasons of the witch salon deck oh yeah they go super well 1157 01:20:54,560 --> 01:21:01,920 together um so I really enjoy that and
