Understanding the Tarot through Jung and Crowley 

"While you were out partying, I studied the cards"

"Divinity is the unconscious". i think having this understanding is essential to the occcult student. Thanks for sharing.

This is the best explanation I’ve heard from anyone regarding tarot cards, this video is currently 4 years old but it’s absolutely relevant to this increased popularity of the cards since 2020

A set of meme tarot cards would unironically be super good merch They'd still be usable too

Coomer- the lovers reversed. Given into lust and animal instinct without moderation and thought Bloomer- the fool. They lay witness to all the world and its possibilities, through luck and with a good attitude Boomer- the hermit. Left to ruminate on the world he has built for himself on the sidelines with given advice. Chad- the emperor. An undisputed master in this world with natural authority given to him and a drive to take whatever he wishes. Doomer- the hanged man. Isolated, doubting but ultimately enlightened by his trials. He'll get through this.

That King Diamond shirt is sick.

I've been spending hours on hours watching lecture style videos and never understood a thing yet hes explained it in under 15 minutes what a great channel.

This is the most underrated channel I've ever come across. You're highly intelligent and wise.

First memes, then the Tarot, soon you're going to have us write the non-repeating consonants of our desires on top of each other on a sheet of paper and gnosis all over it and channel meme energy into egregores and stuff

Dude, you explained tarot so well that I gave a standing O at the end! Zero fluff! Bravo!

Star Platinum?

Man I love how you introduced these cards and how to work with them. I had the priviledge to be introduced to them with a similar mindset. That person encouraged me to associate and describe my feelings, thoughts and popping up pictures when looking at them before reading their meaning in some book or website. I learned a lot about myself by just enganging that way with a few cards. Thank you for your take on them.

man you explained it better than people who got all their channel about tarot, thanks

Amazing! Just discovered your video! Wow such an enlightening concept, it put so many pieces of the puzzle together for me concerning my life long study of Jung, and my new found connection to the Tarot. Thank you so much I subbed and will check out more of your stuff!

Thank you Mr. Nerd. Your nerdy demeanor is very charming and your information is well sourced.

Man, this was great! I am always amazed at how the info I need at the time I need it finds me

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for posting them.

i'm not sure that Tarot cards are memes, perhaps to you, however very interesting - i'm a tarot reader / occultist and havent explored the links between tarot and carl jung, but you've inspired me to explore more in the direction of Jung - thank you

This is a great video on both tarot and Carl Jung. Thank you. 🙏🌻

Excellent content man, keep up the great work.

Do a whole class series on Tarot!!

It’s amazing to hear this. I’ve been reading this way for years man. Hearing you on this is almost a synchronicity for me

Great introduction to the Tarot spiritual game & goal with the Tehudi pack. Thank you.

Your content is amazing 🙌🏼

Thanks so much for these video's, very intriguing!

Excellent talk!

Wow man, looking at these past videos you look completly new, totally fresh and fit

king diamond! so happy i found you.

Very interesting and so inspiring.

The cards are signifiers the practitioner gives the patient. "Here's a story, a set of signifiers, it'll probably resonate with some stuff you have in your unconscious and bring it to light"

Very interesting. Thank you for sharing

Very informative. Thanks 😊

Amazing video. Thank you!

"... I would just poop it out and sort through it and understand what I had just done" nice freudian vibes my dude xD Great Video !

Great talk!

Very well put.

Love this video very interesting insight. I’ve always found Jung fascinating.

I wonder if you'd be interested in doing a video on pataphysics as they relate to memes. I feel that the pataphysical dialectic uses a meta language in such a way that memes can be seen as instantaneous integration of Reality as it can be understood, manipulated, and experienced. I'm just thinking of Charlie Day's character in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, itself a meta-reference to contemporary America; particularly, in the episode where he parodies yet somehow fulfills the Flowers For Algernon acceleration of intelligence through Science. It ends up being a placebo effect, which is curious, because in our actual reality that informs and influences the meta-reality of Sunny, Charlie Day IS in fact a genius; that episode seems to analyze himself in a post-ironic way: using comedy with sincerity to portray, in a sense, a meme: the archetypical moral arc of flying too close to the Sun, to self-awareness. Science has yet to grasp and therefore master the full ramifications of the placebo effect. I feel that, if incorporated on a deep enough level psychologically, the placebo effect IS the power of the Ancients; the Sages who healed by word alone, emitting positive energy to transmute masses of Minds simultaneously. The nocebo effect would be its equal opposite; mass negative energy resulting in hysteria, ignorance, and Despair. My entire metaphysics (and pataphysics, as it were) is self-referencing: I am Bkob, because I crafted the Bkob persona and donned the Bkob Mask. I lost myself in the satire; it was as real as I could make it, as real as it could be made, and yet it was STILL flawed, as I was unable to observe BOTH the Jacques Ego that assigned itself as the default Me and the Bkob Ego which seemed to simultaneously embody an Id and Superego; my body and thus social persona both digitally and irl was in reference to this essentially on-going art project. I resolved this with the introduction of three more Masks to dedicate mental energy to: Akagi, the poet who balances bright wit with chilling darkness; Vera, the nihilist Alchemist of the Void; and Jax, the casually dominant gamer bro. They divert conscious and unconscious overloads of psychic energy such that I convert my body into a Philosopher's Mech Suit, the contemporary goal of the Alchemists. Even my personal Tarot, Yu-Gi-Oh!, was developed with respect to me essentially being a superhero without an alter ego. You always knew Me, even if you didn't know who or what exactly you were dealing with at any particular time. The Clear Mind of Yusei would guide me to an intense level of intuitive understanding, physically, mentally, and esoterically. My personality would be based off the archetypes I based my actions on, mind and body acting in sync. The Dark Anti-Hero who uses Destiny Heroes; the Maniacal Paladin who uses Lightsworn as a Chaos Engine. I crafted over a hundred Decks on Dueling Network, endlessly constructing and reconstructing my own personality like an Alchemist hard at work unlocking the Secret of the Heart of the Cards, that Emotional Destiny that claims Authority over any Chance of mine to Win. And I Always Win. I began to have to Lose on Purpose: Heart of the Cards is the OG OP meme. I want to have fun, and I have fun best when all players are having fun, which is aided by a legitimate nonzero chance to win. I could comically kick your ass, and we'd both laugh about it later as you plotted revenge; and we both evolved, adapting our memetic arsenals, gaining in psychic power's influence on RNG and therefore synchronicity, the meaningful coincidence of a particular string of cards allowing a specific set of plays. You are an artist of the highest calibre. I truly appreciate your work. I actually like when people post deep analytical essays and responses to essays that synthesize practical and novel perspectives on these kinds of things. I literally thought of the first few paragraphs in response to this video before I began watching; casually thinking about maybe making a Reddit post, if not embedding a reference in an essay for my Master's. That's just the waaaaay the news goes.

very interesting. thank you. definitely would like to see a reading if possible.

What a fantastic subject for a video! I have studied Jung as a hobby for a few years, and am really interested to see how all this intersects. Thank you!

Love this, I just found you ❤

Absolutely love the videos! Do you still do readings?

Come for meme stay for analysis.

Your channel is alchemic gold!

Great video! Thank you! :)

Amazing analysis!!!

I am currently studying Jungs work, and i must say you really grabbed my attention. Divinity is the uncounscious, well said. Can i ask if you lay the Tarot for yourself, and if yes, in which way?

amazing video, congratulations

I would love to get a reading if this is still possible. I'd also appreciate asking you a little more about interpreting the cards from the perspective of archetypal significance. Everyone I know who uses them do so in a purely superstitious new age manner.

Great video!Dear friend you possess the real knowledge about this cards!May i ask u for a practical advice?Do I need to invoke Angel HRU before divination in order for cards to provide me with the right answers?I don't like doing that..But O-T.O people say it is important...How do u see that matter?Thanx for this video .Best wishes!

Hey man, I would love to have a chat with you. This video is old but I would love to see your evolution regarding Tarot and archetypal symbology, I'm in a similar trip Crowley/Jung this days... curious they were born the same year... the more you know.. 🙏🏻

GREAT VIDEO

Nice, I got the Thoth tarot deck too

I read the same way. I’m surprised more people don’t do it this way. To me it seems like how it should be done

i think we need a full series on this, like a true skeptical way of reading it

I am convinced that the story of Odin hanging is an allegory for cymatic science. All the elements of a cymascope are present in the tale

I really enjoyed your vedio. But I was really kind of shocked and very confused when I checked about Aliester Crowley. I was interested in thoth tarot but now I feel lost if I should have it or not.

Can you analyse "Blackstar" by David Bowie?

Fuck yeah King Diamond & Thoth Tarot... We would be friends in real life haha \m/

Genuine question here: how is a tarot reading’s uncanny ability to relate to our reality not just us performing pattern recognition? For example you may see a face in a plank of wood but that is just pareidolia.

I do not understand. So we are supposed to look at the tarrot cards and contemplate their meaning? And how do we do that? Do we look for their meaning on the books or instructions of the deck or do we let our imagination run wild on them?

How do you read the cards?

king diamond, next level.

Not being a major fan of Jung but, being a Taro Reader of Thoth Deck for over 25 years, I have to say that this, though You are not a Taro Reader, THIS is well researched. I AM impressed. Not bad. Not bad at all Brother! As a side note: I have read and study The Book of Thoth (as well as other Thoth Deck related books) continually and I can not recall Where that AC BOT quote is from. Can You please sight the page in BOT for Me?

As an active tarotist...good fucking video!

@memeanalysis do you have any further reading suggestions beyond the book of thoth?

This explains a lot, thank you very much!

I would love a reading!

Can anyone provide a link to purchase the Thoth deck? Yes, I've checked Amazon, and its there, but all of them have reviewers complaining that they aren't tarot sized, or have printing issues, etc.

What did you shoot this with??

Just wanted to know more and what more people have said about it

Sick King Diamond shirt!

So how does one actually "study the cards"?

more tarot videos plsssss

if the divine is the unconsciouness caring for your eternal soul would be something in the lines of living a life that when you die you have no regrets or something?

Every copy of tarot is unique

Yess! Ouija next!!

Brilliant

this is very right

What's cooler than a tarot reading from a dude in a King Diamond shirt? Nothing! 🤘

Can i have a reading? :)

KING DIAMOND \m/

My unconscious is endlessly drawn to your channel

Thoth tarot and Kind Diamond shirt ? Man that's the way !

Really interesting secular analysis of the tarot-useful for those who are seeking true forms of magick to use as creative spiritual development. Is like to hear more of your thoughts on this topic.

My mother started to use tarot i dont belive in the future telling stuff, but i had the same thoughts about its beutifull symbolism and art, iam happy iam not alone with it.

Have you done a history of the ouija board

Abigail!

2:09

waitt this was a year ago you look so young

You’re a FUCKING genius, haven’t even watched it yet but yeah good topic, the future of human culture thanks you. Lol

why return from the unconcious? why not just live in it?

Nice

the best thing i learned is that tarot cards are essentially a form of poop

Yung is not pronounced like ‘Young’

.. . awesome =)

divinity is unconscious and vice versa. you are who you are. i am that i am.

When you said the gay science, did that have anything to do with neitzsche?

Biggest mistake reading cards....The number of the card is the foundation of the card, then the element sits atop of that meaning, then the planet and star sign together respectively, than the symbolism which is the only variation worth mentioning between decks. This is the order of priority regarding force. The force of the foundation (thus meaning) being the number varies according to the reading thus the foundation is ever shifting without loosing character...... A small gift from someone who knows. : ) Smile

OR ...the subconscious IS the "Divine". Of course we might as well stay open to both being true, for now.
