I asked my RWS deck - what should I do about the issue? It came out, Tower, 9 of Swords, 7 of Wands The Tower came out first, and 9 of Swords and 7 of Wands. Does it mean the rest of the cards will be destroyed? or The rest of the cards will become more negative and cause worse effect? Or would it m...

I don't know how this might fit in with the rest of your reading, but for me a lot of times the Death card is telling me to take things seriously. Just in general, to look hard at something. So, would it be for the querent to be extremely alert and careful on any of the following cards from Death c...

I was reading for someone, and she asked how her week will go this week. I put down 5 cards, and the first card was Death followed by Knight of wand and 8 of Wands, and then page of cups and page of wands. I wasn't sure how to read the Death card here. Does it mean the next card Knight of Wand will ...

I read the book about 10 year ago. I thought it was an excellent book. It really helped me understanding the topic best amongst all other books on the subject I own (I own a few other Cabala books), although still my understanding on the subject was just for the newbie level. I still have the book s...

I came across this video on youtube, and found it very useful for Kabbalistic reading of Tarot.

From what I have heard, Death card in readings are not always physical death. It really must have the other cards such as 10 of swords, The Tower and Judgement card around Death card in the reading to suggest someone's physical death. They say that Death cards without those other death implying card...

I recounted my Etteilla Egyptien III, and it is 78 cards.
Exact same as TdM on the each suits and also the major arcana 22 cards, just like the traditional Tarot deck.

Great info. Thanks. I found one of my Etteilla Tarot Egyptien deck from internet search. This is the exact same version as mine. https://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=110310 https://www.bellebrocante.com/2014/05/tarot-égyptien.html https://www.etsy.com/listing/886286700/grand-etteilla-tarot-de...

Etteila's life story and his own tarot journey really fascinates me and it is my goal to actually read his own book on fortune-telling sometime soon, for the historical perspective if nothing else. More than LWB, I think it is valuable to read books written or for tarot authors that go through the ...

I think my first Astrology book was "Inner Sky" by Steven Forrest. It was a good book, still have it somewhere in the house. But for something more heavy and deep with detail, "Hellenistic Astrology" by ??? forgot the author's name. This is a great text book of Astrology. A moder...

I have a LMD's Understanding Thoth Tarot from about 10 year ago.  I had read it in full at the time, but was not too happy with the each individual card description section. I thought it was too brief in the divination description part.  But again, I located the book, took it out, went through it, a...

Great info and advice. Thank you. I too, don't use LWBs at all, and they just sit in the Tarot box all the time. The information in LWB are very brief and simple, so it is hardly worth read, my feeling was. But then the 2 decks I have, which are the Egyptian Grand Etteilla Tarots and Egyptian Gypsy ...

Hi TheLoracular Thank you for your interesting post. In my case, I used to read up on Kabbalah a lot a few years back. The best book on Kabbalah from my memory was The Chicken Kabbalah by L M Duquette. I still got the book somewhere in the house. I now found the book, and am re-reading it selectivel...

Hi All I have read a few books describing about Cabalistic Tarot readings, but it was always so brief and nothing deep at all. It talks about Tree of Life spread, and what each sepheroth is supposed to mean for the cards. I wasn't too impressed with it. I was sure there must be other ways reading Ta...

What about tarot of sepheroth? That also looks a nice interesting deck. Thanks. But couldn't locate any of them for sale both Amazon UK and eBay. :( I managed to buy a Tree of Life Tarot, which has no pictures in the cards, but just the sepheroth and the signs only. It looks like it will be good fo...

Robert Wang wrote a book called the Qabalistic Tarot that goes through his Hermetic Tarot (based on Israel Regardi's Golden Dawn deck) as well as the RWS and Thoth decks and he mentions the BOTA deck too. BOTA and Wang's Golden Dawn decks are pip decks. Wang's writing style is a little stuffy and v...

Indeed. Thank you.

Hi Rachelcat Thanks for your info and the link to lovely decks. Really enjoyed seeing the the Tabula Mundi deck. I have been using a RWS and Thoth, but was wondering if there would be something more suitable for the Kabbah based readings. The one I was studying was Tree of Life spread as well. As yo...

The Fool was always for the person being read in the other Kabbalah meaning books I have read.

Hi All

What would be the best decks for Kabbalah methods / spreads readings?
If you are using Kabbalah ways of or based reading, any ideas which deck would suit better?
Or would it be ok to use any type decks? Why or why not?

I was wondering how different the meanings you apply to your readings when you are using 3 different types of decks. RWS and its clone decks TdM and its clone decks Thoth and its clone decks Do you read differently on these different type of decks according to their book meanings? Or do you apply th...

Tarot and Kabbalah, yes, I also read somewhere some people don't see any connection between them. But the Waite and Crowley both have seem to tried to relate the two, and if one could have full understanding of the two, then it would enable deeper and richer readings from Tarot, I was thinking. It i...

Great post, thank you.

What about some difference in RWS and Thoth cards? For example, 7 of Pentacles / Disks? RWS 7 of Pentacles is not exactly 100% positive it feels, but 7 of Disks of Thoth? It is named as "FAILURE" with dark and depressing images of negative energy?

It would also depend on which school of Tarot you are learning or reading with.

Rws, Tdm and Thoth variant tarots all have somewhat different meanings, and also reading methods too.

I would like to know the relationship between the two. Tarot and Kabbalah.
And does Kabbalah assist your Tarot readings? How and Why? Or How not? Why not?
