I feel like I came across a secret treasure chest! Thank you very much and I look forward to the Holistic Tarot book and course on RU-vid ♥ I am a therapist in private practice and am so glad to have stumbled across this.
As an absolute beginner, I am very pleased to have stumbled upon this gem of a clip. Art, history, attention to detail, yet succint and at a lively pace --- exactly the starting point I was looking for. Salamat!
Hello Benebell! Michela from Italy here! I just want to Thank You so much. I’m new to tarot and came across to your book, bought it and now I’m currently studying on it and the more I read it the most things become clear! I hope sometime in the future your book will be translated in Italian as well so more people can study and learn on it. Glad that, despite my writing is just decent, I have a high level of reading understanding of written English! Big thanks and hugs from Italy
"The crystal ball" by John Waterhouse, with the skull. The depiction of saint's with skulls is common. This is actually what I thought of, not an occult symbolism, but very Catholic, saintly, an allusion to wisdom, prudence, mortality... so I see her, the central figure, as a learned woman of wisdom, vision, spiritual fortitude, able to see the macrocosm in the microcosm... I am sure there is more I could understand by understanding the context... intention.
I was unaware of the 4 horseman and how the shades of each changed. thank you for sharing with us some of the patterns and as you had mentioned it is more so the historical and cultural research we shall do and then to come to you for the pattern recognition. I have my homework and now I am off to do so.
You spoke fine, I did have a chuckle about the comment about visiting the dentist! I like your teaching method, and glad to see that logic is part of intuition. As I am a logical thinker and this was a block for me, but listening to you, I feel a door opening. Great comparison understand some history to appreciate Art and Tarot. Cheers!
What is the deck used at the 7 minute mark? it's beautiful and calls to me. I have just ordered you book and am excited to start studying, thank you for all the content you have provided.
It looks to me to be the Botticelli deck. It IS gorgeous art!!! But, FYI - Ms. Wen does say in another video that it is not an easy one to read with and she uses it mostly for display.
This video makes me want to rush out and visit a museum! Does your book predominantly focus on the RWS system or does it also discuss Thoth? Thank you!
thank you for the wonderful wealth of info. just wanted to ask you which raider Waite cards should I buy to use this book, since they are many out there on Amazon
do you find learning tarot to blend into other areas of life? I already am learning to trust my intuition more and it feels like tarot could be something to help amplify that/ while understanding the context of the cards. I am a clinical social worker and really any art/ practice is a blend of a basis of basic knowledge and then a refinement of skill= making it your own. thank you! its all connected!
Im shuffling my tarot and the Empress(which is depicted as pregnant in the card) fall out. When at that time im thinking that the girl with the crystal ball is pregnant too.
