Ellie Coral's online workbench… mind the mess.
Note: In the interest of supporting the tarot/occult community and its artists, I’ll be using custom tarot decks to illustrate some of my readings. Although I see AI as a tool that can be used and abused just like any other, I know some people seethe at the idea of it. I cannot guarantee that…
The YouTube algorithm sometimes gifts me random videos that bring joy or new project ideas. Recently it started feeding me collective tarot readings. Or “collective readings”.
