The Colour of Love Oracle Deck Haul + My Synchronicity Story About Love, Grief & Connection!

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel it's your girl Alana here. Welcome back to 3 Degrees of Love Healing Tarot. So I wanted to jump on and share with you some decks that recently came in by way of a lovely creator that I came across a deck creator that I came across by way of a fellow YouTube creator who I absolutely enjoy watching and I've also won a giveaway from. If you haven't seen my birthday giveaway video that, excuse me, I did for my birthday just last year in September. Please go check that out. I won the Faces of Oshun Oracle by Abiola Abrams and the giveaway was hosted by the lovely Robin of Robin's Reflections here on YouTube and then within the Tarot community and it's thanks to her yet again I came across this lovely creator Mandy Peterson and this actually is another very meaningful synchronistic type of story if you will on how these decks came to be into my collection. So of course if you love synchronicity stories, healing stories, and community stories and stories all about love, please stay if you happen to have a snack or a beverage and we'll get into it. I might even be sharing with you probably in this video the decks that I've been working with for the month of May and also for the spring. Hashtag show me what you're working with which is I did a video about the decks that I had been working with for the month of March actually. So if you haven't seen that video go check that out. I speak about this on my channel all the time all about love. Thus the name Three Degrees of Love Healing Tarot was also Three Degrees of Love Divination but the basis is Three Degrees of Love and love being the center of it all. Everything I do is with that vibration, with that frequency in mind, with that understanding, that awareness and sense of accountability. Doing the healing work and the shadow work is all what I talk about here on my channel. Why I combine therapy with tarot and also how all that is connected to my 13-year-long stretch with grief, complex grief and how all of this is intertwined and connected. I feel like there's so many different stories and synchronicities that I have come across since I started my channel and throughout this grief and healing process journey that I've been on. Just how everything comes full circle where that is concerned. Even when I talk about me winning the giveaway from Robin from her channel that she hosted. If you understand the story behind the deity Oshun and you've been following my channel from the start and how I talk about love and that whole connection and understanding about karmic patterns and how we see love, how we see ourselves and when we lead with our heart space and viewing ourselves and each other through the lens of love. I feel like how this all connects because it even connects to to my father. Everything that has led up that is a part of my story. This just really means a lot even when I my grief series. So love being the center of it all right. The Color of Love Divination Kit. One of Robin's more recent videos is how I came across to see this version of this deck. The Color of Love 84 tarot sized cards by Mandy Peterson. When it peaked my interest and I followed my piggies down the rabbit hole of let me go on. Let me look up Mandy Peterson. Let me check out her Etsy shop. Okay yes Robin you were the trigger. Anywho um so I saw this and I remember in Robin's video she said that there was another edition. There was a first edition so I went looking. Of course I did. Of course I did and so when I saw that this was the the color of love this one was actually um this this kit includes the color of love deck the color of new love deck. Okay and I'm like well well I just have to get that right. So it comes with a book and then it has uh two two decks two smaller decks and and I'll and I'll show you the rest of that in in a bit but um and it's the same thing with the EFT divination kit but again we'll get into that. Okay and um and so when I was looking on the Etsy shop excuse me there was only this version of the deck available. This version of the deck the first edition with the two with the two smaller decks right that one wasn't available but I of course I contacted Mandy the creator and she was super sweet and shared with me that you know unfortunately she's out of stock of the first edition and I was hemming and hawing do I want the first edition? Do I want this one? I really liked this version but when I realized that this had two decks in it I'm like and this one doesn't I'm like oh but this one has more cards for one deck. Okay now that is a dilemma for all various parts of myself so now I'm just and this is how again this is how I separate and and really you know getting to understand my parts because it was like I was like having like a like a conference among my among my parts so imagine there's a bunch of rambunctious me's okay or I like to call my piggies with all the joy and excitement sitting at a round table well so which one would we get blah blah blah okay anyway but she didn't have this one anyway okay so then I read so I had committed to getting this version and then as I contacted Mandy and we were talking back and forth and you know she shared with me that she you know was doing some spring cleaning stuff and if she came across any more she would let me know sure enough she did and um and I'm I I was so grateful so that's how I ended up getting the two editions but then while I was like oh well I can't get the first edition part of me was like I saw that the EFT divination kit I was like oh well it's another deck that has 144 cards and it has two decks the same way set up like the first so if I can't get this one well then I'll commit to getting this one but I couldn't at the time so I could so I just committed to the one but in around that time now it was also leading up to now as I've already shared with you guys on my channel and it's also how this all connects um you know with each other um I which which is also why my grief series you know has um you know has it it's been birthed out of that right um my own long-term experience with grief and now with the most recent um edition the passing of my father my late father um you know and his birthday was just in April now his birthday being on the 22nd of April and in and around that time of his birthday and you know still grieving and this was around the same time I think I saw the video and like just a few days before all right but it was in and around the same timeline like you know right and and then I was as I was communicating with with Mandy at the time too I also learned that she had a birthday the day after my late father's and this year would have been is the first year of his for his birthday that he is since he's been gone as as I've before he passed just after Christmas in 2025 um and so you know first birthday you know sort of you know celebrating that he's no longer here you know that bittersweet whatever reckon that recognition if you will and you know the the the waves of grief surrounding all of that right um and how these decks sort of came you know into alignment with my journey to this point for me to right and then to also get to meet to learn that the creator is also local to to me they are also a fellow Canadian creator and you know to connect with similar stories and journeys you know of healing and grief that we've we you know we we shared in and around the same time how all that just you know those puzzle pieces you know sort of came together um and that the day of I received funds that came by way of a return check for the remaining funds that were that were already prepaid for my my father's passing and it came to me on my dad's birthday so it almost felt like it was a birthday gift from my father I know how you know crazy that may sound to some but you know you really pick up on meaning and and patterns when you have been forced to slow down and really pay attention to things right and that often can happen when you when you've been made to um be hyper vigilant right but sometimes you know it's it's learning how to channel that into useful things rather than it becoming destructive right so all of this is how you know how through my my healing journey throughout my grief you know that's how you know how all of this had become very intertwined if you will so anyway so of course I was able to get all of these decks and I was so grateful and so thankful and then to my surprise an additional oracle that I did not order came my way and and I know as a thank you from the creator herself and it's the 1111 oracle and when you are you know very you know you have you you you're very into numerology and synchronicities and things like that that is really that really means something you know so this is my my heartfelt thank you to everyone that is a part of this story this synchronicity to you know what I went through what I have gone through what I've endured what I've survived what I'm still healing from and learning to integrate those lessons and to grow and to choose love and to commit to choosing to share my my knowledge my lessons my learned you know and combine that with everything that has and to appreciate everything that I've journeyed through throughout my existence both the good the bad and the weary because it's through that that I learned the strength of of of love and what it means to choose it every single day in spite of everything life has thrown at me to date and especially over the course of the last 13 years so I'm gonna do a separate video um I get more into the cards later once I can get back my my my bearings but I wanted to just leave that there and share that story with you because it means a lot to me you know um and everyone who is a part of it um Mandy, Robin, my mom, my dad and everything and everyone else in between because I am love and so are you and I hope that with everything that I've just shared shared with you that you will see that in me and in yourself too because I know that when I look in the mirror that's what I see in me so I know that when I look out to the world I see I choose to see that in others too thank you very very much I love you
