Some things that may be of interest/further reading... The fasc1st history of starseeds julesevans.medium.com/the-weird-history-of-starseeds-7df5127be9c3 Although Theosophy seems to be the largest inspiration for how things got real dark, real quick; we can't ignore that this also ties in with other 'Western' occult groups/ideas from the 19thC. I think it's important that folx are at least aware of the root of the ideas they are attracted to. So although starseed/indigo children and a lot of other new age stuff gives me the ick, I find that a lot of 'Western' occultism's roots does too. I think that is also a bit of what puts me off overly esoteric decks, something I do touch on in this video.

Personal/Tarot Instagram: instagram.com/mxkellybear🎥✨ #TarotThroughMovieGenres a VR to @lucid_moonsKelly Bear2024-07-07 | I'm a massive film lover so I just had to jump on this tag, especially as Quynn had tagged me. This is the first tag they have created, what a great start! Don't forget to check out Quynn's OG video and channel in general (see links below).
Here are the prompts should you wish to join in. Prompts/Genres:
1. Sci Fi - a deck that incorporates imaginative, speculative, and/or futuristic concepts.
2. Horror - a deck that scares, frightens or disturbs you.
3. Romance - a deck that focuses on relationships or romantic love between people with an overall emotionally satisfying or optimistic tone.
4. Thriller - a deck that delivers tension, surprise, and/or a sense of impending doom and keeps you at the edge of your seat.
5. Mystery - a deck that is mysterious, suspenseful and doesn't reveal answers right away. Reading with this deck may feel like solving a puzzle.
6. Action - a deck that features loud, wild and spectacular imagery that may be overwhelming but you love it anyways.
7. Fantasy - a deck that transports you to an imaginary world with magic, mystical creatures or elements of the supernatural that don't exist in the "real world".
8. Comedy - a deck that is humourous, amusing or induces laughter and/or a sense of enjoyment.
9. Drama - a deck that focuses on conflicts in characters' lives that takes a more serious tone.
10. Documentary - a deck that depicts real life people, animals, events or situations that may be educational or informative.
11. Animated Film - a deck with bright, expressive or cartoon-like images that you probably would have enjoyed as a kid (and still love as an adult).
12. Western - a deck that embodies a spirit of freedom, exploration and adventure.
13. Black & White Film - your favorite black and white deck OR a vintage deck from another era.
I was naughty and added a couple of my own.
14. Disaster Movie- Didn't really think the prompt through on this tbh. A deck that causes exhistential dread or maybe a new way of living in the world? A deck that speaks to community?
15. Musical- A deck that makes your heart sing

We chatted glamour magic, tarot, the general election here in the UK, health stuff and more!Deck Comparison: How Does Tarot of the Sweet Twilight Compare to the RSW? Is it a Rider Deck?Kelly Bear2024-06-30 | I recently acquired the Tarot of the Sweet Twilight. It's an unsual deck that really appeals to the 90s teen in me. It's a little confounding in some of its art choices when it comes to depicting the meanings of the cards, so I decided to see how it compares to the Smith Waite. Can Sweet Twilight be classed as a Rider based deck? Is it kind of its own thing? Come along for the rambly ride!

Personal/Tarot Instagram: instagram.com/mxkellybear😍Ten Relationship Styles: #TaRomanceTropes a VR to @TarotMagpie 💌Kelly Bear2024-05-19 | 💖I just had to do this super fun tag by Syvlie over at Tarot Magpie. 10 prompts exploring our relationships to tarot via the lense of relationship styles (I was a little cheeky and added in an 11th prompt). Also, it took me EIGHTEEN attempts to film the intro to this video (thanks, brain fog), so if you want to see some classic swear bear behaviour, stick 'till the end for bloopers.🤬🤪
TIME STAMPS: 00:00 Intro 01:32 Enemies to Lovers 06:45 Friends to Lovers 12:24 Forced Proximity 17:09 Soul Mates 21:54 Slow-Burn 27:45 Opposites Attract 33:30 Blind Date 40:42 Second Chance 46:59 Unrequited Love 50:05 Love Triangle 55:13 Illicit Lover/Saucy Minx 1:00:02 In Closing 1:01:40 Bloopers
💕 Tag prompts: 1. Enemies to lovers: a deck, style, or system you’ve insisted just wasn’t for you - until you realised it was. 2. Friends to lovers: a deck you used liked well enough, and then one reading deepened or changed your relationship with it. 3. Forced proximity: a deck you used for a month, took on holiday, made yourself work with for, that changed your relationship with it. 4. Soulmates: when it was just meant to be. A deck that you fell in love with immediately. 5. Slow-burn: a deck you didn’t have the best first impression of, but the more you worked with it the more you liked it. 6. Opposites attract: this deck is NOT your usual style but you love it anyway. 7. Blind date: an impulse buy, a gift, or a deck you got without much research - but ended up really loving. 8. Second chance: a deck you planned to get rid of that worked its way back into rotation, or a deck that you did move along and ended up repurchasing. 9. Unrequited love: you really want to love this deck, but it just doesn’t love you back (yet..?) 10. Love triangle: two decks that are in competition with each other in your collection, OR a pair of decks that you always use together.
11. Illicit Lover: a deck that you cannot help but be tempted to go back to again and again OR a deck that feels like a saucy little minx.

Personal Instagram: instagram.com/mxkellybear🎂Solar Return Reading🌞Kelly Bear2024-01-31 | 🐻 This is a follow up to my previous video about the solar return spread I created for myself. Here I share the process a bit more with you, as I have just had a birthday! Apologies for the potato-cam like quality of the footage, it was getting dark and I was filming on my phone. I hope the info included at least makes up for the fuzzy image. Of course, you can do this spread for yourself on your birthday, at new year, or any other significant date to you. Feel free to adjust/customise as you wish according to your needs and the tools available to you. I have provided graphics with instructions via the Google.docs link below.😘 Let me know if you try it out!
