21. Tarot de Marseille type I and II - how to distinguish? 

Thank you! :)

Thank YOU! I love the Tarot. It's just like deja vu all over again for the first. I've been using the French Marseille Tarot for about twenty years now for meditative yantras. It's the only deck I've ever known or used. Only recently I've turned to Camoin.com for deeper insight. It all started for me with Whitley Strieber's 'The Path'. Merci beaucoup!

@@hangedman6060 Wow, that's amazing! I'm glad that you're enjoying my videos! :)

Norse Pagan Tarot Witch You're very welcome! 😊 There aren't that many on this topic and I find that videos are a fun way to learn!

Yes, these are those small things that once you see them, you cannot believe you didn't see them beofe! :)

Thank you for watching! There certainly are more of us! :D

Yay, I'm glad it was helpful! Everything best to you!

Thank you so much, I'm so happy people find my videos helpful!

Thank you! :) I have a whole playlist about Tarot de Marseille, if you're interested :)

Thank you, Kelly!

Thank you!

Hi! How are they different? From what I could google they look like a Type II, but I don't own this deck so I can't say for sure.

@@wolfofcoins Both i n color and design and no faces on the devil card. And other ones you mentioned. But they are 50 years old may be more.

@@kurtsteiner8384 Colors don't matter that much, I suppose. No face on the Devil's belly indicates Type II, but as I said, I can't confirm, because I don't own the deck...

@@wolfofcoins I will replay your video and check again. But think they are different from your description.

I think that Flornoy went for maximum of faithfulness when it comes to the original he obtained - and that one has been (probably) printed with a chipped woodblock, that's why the fingers are missing. But I've seen a reproduction by Joseph Peterson that actually gives you the choice: there are both cards with mistakes and "fixed", so you can choose which you want to use. Check out this video by Lauri from Thrifty Mystic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_FQjFbbHrKo.html

Oh yeah, that's an interesting one :D

Kristine S. Thank you! :)

I think that for better calrity it's good to stick to one system or, indeed, combine the systems, write it all down for yourself, all the things that speak to you, but make it separate from the books, at least for some time. Make it simply your own. However, these days I'm really more of a user of the "visual technique" (you can check out some of my vids on the Tarot de Marseille playlist), where you mainly just see what's on the cards and don't attach fixed meanings to them. It's freeing and quite incredible :)

@@wolfofcoins Thank you! Yes I like that technique and I´ve seen your videos on that as well. My question was more about the pips, because I find it very easy to go with the numbers and their meaning numerollogically speaking as J explains it. Yoav gives more of a fixed meaning to them . Thank you for your insight!!!

Interesting! Sometimes the types get mixed up, I guess :)

That's helpful, thanks!

Yes, the World card is definitely modeled after the depiction of Jesus and 4 animals/evangelists. Jodorowsky suggests that we look at the cards as mirrors - so our right is their right etc. I find it helpful :)

With all the breasts in some decks (and the earliest Noblet for that matter) I'd go with a gnostic christianity and Sophia or some pagan influences. Just a theory to push ourselves a bit.

Thanks! Indeed, I suppose it's clear that the tarot hasn't been only "main stream" Christianity :) Sophia would explain why we get a woman instead of Jesus. The Devil figure really resembles Ereshkigal imagery we know from antiquity. And there's much, much more... :) It's fascinating, isn't it?

I'm always saying that the binding of the Devil shows his dependence on our spiritual evolution and he's actually stepping down to burn our shackles not to create them... Mind blowing if you only dare to step out of culturally programmed thinking >:-) Pozdrawiam z Wielkopolski :-)

Well, I often read his/her sticking the tongue out as an anarchy gesture :D I have some thoughts on this card here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GVSgjT6UvrM.html Pozdrawiam ze Szwajcarii!
