My Dumb Hunt for The Sun and Moon Deck
Alright, so I totally fell in love with The Sun and Moon Tarot deck online. Like, those pictures? Stunning. I HAD to have it for my next moon phase reading. But figuring out where to actually buy the thing? Man, that turned into a whole adventure.
The Online Rabbit Hole
First, I did what anyone does – fired up my browser. Typed in “Sun and Moon Tarot deck” like a champ. Bam, a gazillion results. Honestly, it felt a bit overwhelming right away.
- First stop: a giant marketplace everyone uses. Yep, found it there pretty quick! But oh, the shipping cost? Ouch. Almost doubled the price for me. Pass.
- Next, hit up a handmade site I sometimes use. Found a couple sellers, great! But then noticed one seller had crazy high shipping, and another one looked kinda fishy – like, no reviews? Sketchy. Didn’t feel safe.
- Checked out the creator’s own website. Seemed promising at first! But guess what? Sold out. Dead end. Totally annoying.
Thinking Outside the Big Box
Online was being dumb, so I thought, “Hey, maybe a real bookstore?” Drove down to my local spot. Friendly folks, for sure. We chatted tarot, but guess what? They didn’t have it. Said it was popular and tough to keep in stock. They suggested another shop clear across town.
Didn’t wanna drive that far, honestly. Felt like a wild goose chase starting.
Almost Giving Up & The Random Win
Getting pretty fed up. Was browsing a big online bookstore next, one known for books but selling other stuff too. Was scrolling through other things, feeling bummed, when BAM! There it was!
- Price was actually okay – better than the first giant site.
- Shipping? Reasonable! And even better, free since my order was big enough.
- Seller was the bookstore itself, not some third-party rando. Felt way safer.
Did a quick double-check. Yep, same deck. Hit that “Buy Now” button so fast, my finger almost broke.
Got It In Hand
Shipping wasn’t lightning fast, but it wasn’t awful either. Took about a week. Opening that box? Pure happiness. Deck was brand new, sealed, perfect. Cards feel nice, the pictures are even better looking in person. Worth the annoying search? Honestly? Yeah, kinda. But next time, I’m checking that big bookstore site FIRST. Saved me a headache in the end.
