xo AllieMy complicated journey with Magpie DecksAllie Sailor2023-09-07 | Hellllloooooooo! Long time no see!!
Tune in as I talk about "magpie" decks - decks that are a collection of different artists' work - and live with me through on ongoing struggle. Are my conflicted times at an end??
My apologies for my fused brain in this video - the Green Menagerie Tarot was created by Matt Green.

xo AllieHappy New Year! My year ahead spread, a new journal, and a new deck!Allie Sailor2023-01-05 | Hi everyone! This video is not in partnership with anyone - these are my own thoughts on items I have purchased myself.
AllieBack on Youtube - and shortlistng decks for my year ahead spread!Allie Sailor2022-12-21 | It's me. Hi.
It's been a long hiatus, but I'm back with a rambly explanation, cat interruptions, and poor lighting! I'll also discuss the decks that have (so far) made my shortlist for my year-ahead spread for 2023.
It's great to be back. I hope you have a gorgeous Winter Solstice (or Summer Solstice, depending on where you are!)
Before I get to the decks mentioned - one of them is OOP and I didn't know. Sorry :( . The Tarot of Trees large edition is still on Etsy but there are FEWER THAN 15 LEFT and then it is OOP! So snag it if you want it!
xo AllieFragrance as a spiritual tool (Wherein I talk about perfume for a while)Allie Sailor2022-05-03 | Hi everyone,
As you know, I've felt like I've been in a bit of a slump over the past few months.
But I have really felt inspired by fragrances - not diffusers, incense, or candles, but the ones I wear! So I talked about them. It's quite a ramble, guys.
I am in NO WAY a fragrance expert, although there are some really good channels on YT if you want to see coherent discussions of notes and performance and sillage. My favourites are:
The Scented (If you click on her video descriptions, you'll find a discount code for Oil Perfumery and Oakcha, as I discuss in the video! youtube.com/c/TheScented

Deck: The Halloween Tarot
xo AllieWhat I have learned from... The Halloween Tarot 👻🎃🦇Allie Sailor2021-10-23 | It's time. It's here. My beloved Halloween Tarot. I'm doing it.
Really, this deck is so close to the RWS that it probably doesn't need a video like this. But I don't care. My love for this deck knows no bounds.
Full deck walkthrough and review from Wicked Moonlight:
xo AllieWeek Ahead Reading: October 17-24, 2021Allie Sailor2021-10-17 | Note: Today's reading uses the Zombie Tarot! It's a cartoonish deck, but it's a bit gross. If you prefer, just read the description below.
In general: This is a week of great stability. You have met your challenges and overcome them, and there is a balance of intellectual and emotional stability here, along with the family contentment of the Ten of Pentacles. It's going to be a good week, folks.
xo AllieWeek Ahead Reading: October 10-17, 2021Allie Sailor2021-10-10 | Awwww. This is a nice one. Take this awesome energy and move it forward! Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians. :)

So come with me to see all that this lovely little deck has to offer!
xo AllieWeek ahead reading: October 3-10, 2021Allie Sailor2021-10-03 | Be bold. Go forth. Stop doing what isn't working, and look in a new direction.

This week's reading is very practical, which I LOVE. Let's talk about turning that Devil upside down!
Just FYI: I am heading to northern Ontario for a few weeks, and my internet access may be spotty. I will try to do my week ahead readings, but I may not be able to actually upload them. Apologies in advance if this is the case. But never fear, my lovelies! I will be back by the end of August for sure. 😘

Guys, I love black cats. I'm just saying. Of course, this is the ONE video that I was hoping that my black cat would interrupt, but did she? No. Nobody ain't telling that cat what to do.
Enjoy!
xo AllieWeek ahead reading: July 4 - July 11, 2021Allie Sailor2021-07-04 | I have been offline, road tripping and camping for over a week. My friend suggested I use her deck to film this week's week ahead reading as I make my way home.
I have essentially lost track of time while I have been offline, which is my introduction for this apology: I can't believe that I didn't realize until I went to type the title for this video that today is the fourth of July! A very happy day to all of my American friends! ♥️🇺🇸 I'm sorry I didn't mention it in my video.
Anyway, this week you gotta stand strong in your convictions, rise above the fray, and just walk away. You can hold your head high. You know what's what.

xo AllieA Fun Tarot Tag: #TarotintheBedroom VR to Whiskey StevensAllie Sailor2021-06-01 | Thank you to Whiskey Stevens for this fun tag! Her original video is below.
The challenge: what three cards would you take into the bedroom, and what two cards would you keep out, no matter what?
It was a fun exercise that actually made me think carefully about the cards in a new way.Week Ahead Reading: May 30 - June 6, 2021Allie Sailor2021-05-31 | Well, it's another outdoor video this week. And yet the lighting is somehow garbage? Sigh. Oh well, it's the cards that matter, right?
It's going to be a WEEK guys. But go back to basics, and keep working what you know. It's going to lead to some new inspiration - but you have to say goodbye to something first.
Deck Used: The Centennial Smith-Waite
xo AllieWeek ahead reading: May 23 - May 30, 2021Allie Sailor2021-05-24 | Time to move out of that stagnant position. Those worries you have - they're not the issue. Forget about them! Look back into your past for inspiration and motivation.
I apologize for the background noise and dogs barking (and the fact that it took me 21 hours to upload the video to Youtube from my little cabin in the woods.) But it was all worth it to be able to read outside in the crisp spring air. :)
Deck Used: The Druidcraft Tarot
xo AllieWhat I have learned from The Shakespeare Oracle (dont be fooled, its really a tarot) Deck!Allie Sailor2021-05-19 | Hello lovely friends!
Get ready nerds, because this is going to be the nerdiest you have ever seen me in my nerdiest ever video.
I examine the lovely, but confusingly named, Shakespeare Oracle. It's a tarot deck, honestly, everyone! (I think there was already a "Shakespeare Tarot Deck" at the time that this was published.) And it's a GOOD one. It does rely on specific characters from specific plays, but in this video I break down how an understanding of the play can contribute to an appreciation for Tarot archetypes. Also, it's just such a high quality deck and so, so pretty.
I could only find one full flip through, and it's a bit tricky too see absolutely everything because of the size of the font of the quotations on the Minors, but this is a really lovely video by Modern Metaphysicae:
Unfortunately, I believe that the deck is currently out of print, but I was able to obtain mine second hand without too much of a search and for a reasonable price.
Enjoy!
xo AllieWeek ahead reading: May 16 - 23, 2021Allie Sailor2021-05-17 | There are some hot, hot energies this week, so make sure you balance them out with some Temperance, everyone!
