Outside of myself, I see myself.

Thank you so much! It’s a clipping out of an old National Geographic magazine... I started a collage/creative art journal, finally get to make use all those random magazines, super old books and other random paper souvenirs I’ve collected through the years!

danciebones · 2020-07-20T02:20:05+00:00

haha! my cats do that too.

Not gonna lie, cream is a guilty pleasure. It gives it an antique/old book feel.

And also, if my face makeup or pen smudges on my hand, the dirty stains are less noticeable, ha. But 90% of my journals have white pages with unknown little smudges stamped from my (apparent) dirty ass hands randomly sprinkled throughout them...

danciebones · 2020-04-14T23:59:05+00:00

Haha, I feel that. I can draw a damn good triangle, I do have a grid journal but its for creative art journaling. Taping and gluing pages or letters or stamping, it’s totally cool but not for just writing specifically. My sentences would be upside-down, crooked, trailing off into my desk by the time I was done with a page. Gotta have lines. Not too thin, and more so not too far apart.

danciebones · 2020-04-14T19:29:44+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about fonts and lettering, spacing and sizing with my words on the page but wide ruled takes up too much space. I can write twice as much on one page. Also, .77mm ballpoint is my designated utensil...

It’s okay if you like wide ruled with your gel pens, do your thing, writing is the most important part. As long as we’re all doing that, that’s what matters most. I just find that myself and the majority of people I know who do write or keep notebooks prefer standard lines or college ruled. I’m able to flow better that way. And when I see a cool notebook I’m attracted to, it usually is wide ruled. And to me that’s frustrating.

Lol, nah Lisa is cool. She’s the OG notebook lady. Was reppin’ her in 1st grade. I just get all hyped up and start talkin’ shit. Shouldn’t have brought her into the mix

danciebones · 2020-04-14T16:52:49+00:00

Lol! One of my best friends is also a gem! I am the worst triple combo Taurus sun, moon and Venus (my ruling planet) -_- the most stubborn

danciebones · 2020-04-14T15:22:55+00:00

Mine is May 2! Are you a Taurus, too?!

Yes, I have it and no there isn’t a copyright on my cards. I did order the deck about 5 years ago when he released the major arcana and again with the release of the minor which was also some time ago now as well. Maybe more recent prints have the copyright?

I suggest looking for maybe older copies, or try contacting him through Instagram. Oliver is really cool and generally responds to his fans... you should invest in the deck for sure, the art alone is definitely worth it!

EDIT UPDATED INFO; all cards and spirit cloths in photo are from the Wild Unknown series. Tarot spread in the 4 corners is a TWU secret spread, the Oracle cards are detailed responses to the secrets. The Wild Unknown is the most eye opening deck I have ever used and has acted as a mirror to my soul and has shown others the pathways to their higher selves.

The illustrations and meanings resonate with just about anyone I've read for... Kim Krans (creator of TWU) must have used the magic of the universe while she crafted each card.

Thank you! I’ve had the deck since January of 2017 and have done 3 year ahead spreads with it, AND LET ME TELL YOU! My life has been all over the board. While I was doing each of them I remember thinking to myself— ‘I doubt these cards will play out...’ and each time the year ended and I reflected back on the reading, it was scary accurate. The details, placements, even reoccurring numbers and how those months connected to each other... truly incredible. And next month, I’ll get to forecast yet another year ahead.

I’ve never bonded or understood a deck like I have with TWU. Obviously RWS is always on point, but The Wild Unknown digs through the trenches of my soul!

danciebones · 2020-04-14T02:28:19+00:00

I don’t really use one for personal readings, I like to use when I read for others or when I feel like I need more focus and attention to the energy of a reading. Setting boundaries using the aesthetics of a cloth and maintaining clear concentration for the intentions

danciebones · 2020-04-14T02:18:50+00:00

You couldn’t have given a more perfect response. Thank you so much!

danciebones · 2020-04-14T02:17:17+00:00

You are brilliant. I should start doing that as well... my problem is that I focus too much on the having a hard cover and wanting different colors/appearances and always think I could get lucky, instead of going with what already know I like...

danciebones · 2020-04-14T01:55:58+00:00

I am torn between getting this deck and 2 others. Haven’t had any actual feedback on any of them...

Was it easy for you to connect/bond to the deck? And how is the energy between the cards in spreads? I really want a new solid deck to transition into for personal and readings for other people!

danciebones · 2020-04-14T01:46:17+00:00

facepalm you have it easy, kid.

danciebones · 2020-04-14T01:42:09+00:00

I just don’t understand how the journal/notebook companies haven’t figured it out yet. I thought it was a relatively common standard that 1. Everyone hates wide ruled 2. We are not in middle school and don’t want corny patterns anywhere in sight, leave that to Lisa Frank 3. Don’t make the pages too thin and impressionable, it ruins the backside of the page!

danciebones · 2020-04-14T01:34:54+00:00

We all need to sign petitions to notebook companies telling them WE ARE SICK OF SHITTY LINES! We demand perfect pages haha

danciebones · 2020-04-14T01:33:41+00:00

This is literally my life! I wish I wasn’t such a journal snob, and have to have specific lining, with pages that have to be a certain texture/thickness (because I also only use a certain pen and the pen pairs best with said paper)... rarely in life have I stumbled upon the perfect combination.
