Cult of Tarot Forum

I just wanted to say that the description of my facebook group has been revised, due to the direction the forum has taken. Which is in fact the direction I was hoping it would take. It's now this: ****************************** This group is solely focused on the Tarot of Marseilles. It's not a trad...

me too. and yet it happened. this is what happens when you feed me questions - they redound on you.

Redounding is indeed a very strange thing.

dodalisque, it was indeed a beautiful story you told. Thank you for telling us. And thank you for daring to tell it. A pure act of Grace you received, when you allowed it in. I was thinking a lot about this thread today. Because I like thinking about Plato's Cave. And I was thinking about faith in g...

If you don't feel able to do a reading for me this month, please don't worry about it. The quarantine has thrown me so far off my game that I feel like just focusing on self care right now is totally legit. kare, I've been sitting with my cards beside for hours now. I don't even feel like taking th...

How wonderful!!! What a great gesture. There have been so many gestures like this all over the internet since the beginning of the pandemic. My hearfelt wish is that this will continue even after this is over. That this whole business will have taught us how easy it is to give. Actually, it's a divi...

KoyDeli: I like it when messengers fall from the sky like you have with all your baggage of news and information. Sometimes there are happy days. Thanks for contributing all you do. You told me once about the Children of the Planets and I was hugely grateful too.

Dear kare, I've read your reading thoroughly twice. it's really interesting how you put it all together and also the tale of the reversed cards is very interesting. It seems to reinforce the main thrust of the message that these are no times to make decisions. Everything is upsidedown at the moment ...

Charlie Brown, would you object that we cancel our exchange this month? I'm really not able to focus on the tarot these days. Or anything much for that matter. Maybe because it's the spring and the birds are singing and my mind is elsewhere. If you organise another one next month, I'd be happy to jo...

kare, I'm feeling out of sorts today. Very nervous and irritated. The outer world has disturbed my inner world. I can't do anything tarot related today. I have to heal myself through meditation and going for a long long walk along the lake. A long long long long one. I'll come back tomorrow to this ...

There was never any edict concerning the destruction of Tarot card moulds, the edict concerning the destruction of playing card moulds specifically excluded those for the manufacture of tarot decks. . Wow, now that's a snippet!! Thank you so much for this information. Where is this edict found? Is ...

That is the method described by Mellet in his essay published in Monde Primitif in 1781. Etteilla method also used pips of course and was very popular in the 19th century; even readers who used TdB or TdM would use his meanings for the pips or variations of them {there are quite a few TdB and TdM d...

Thoth I can understand. RWS at first I was quite surprised to hear has no cultural presence in France, but then I thought about it and remembered to before I knew about the TdM and I thought the tarot really was just RWS and that the deck codified occult knowledge and that’s what tarot was. For me ...

Another thing I've learned about the tarot in the French speaking world is one I'd already touched on once in another thread some time ago. It's that the RWS doesn't exist in their universe. Again a poster used a TdM inspired deck (she's the only one) and I mentioned again that it's not really a TdM...

Fantastic and fascinating stuff, KoyDeli. What info do you have on those molds that were ordered to be destroyed at one time? I have only vague memories of the details and which king ordered them to be destroyed. It was also for tax and financial reasons if my memory serves me well. And that they ha...

Oh thank you so much kare! Looks lovely this reading. I'll give feedback along with your reading tomorrow.

Carpe diem.

No, thank you, Diana. I appreciate your efforts to help me back on my horse so I can get knocked down again for your amusement, but I think right now I prefer to see if the Hanged Man will lend me his rope.

reading with pips is now in every contemporary book on reading the TdM that I have come across so far. In English or French? In American circles, the idea of the pips seems to be the lure for most first time purchasers. It seems curious and exotic, whereas the TdM majors aren't really all that diff...

And of course the perfect way of summing up what chiscotheque thinks of my character, and of having the last word.] Who said he has the last word? Come on, there's still some fight in you I'm sure. Think of the Knight of Swords in the RWS. No strategy is infallible. There must be a crack in his arm...

That happy athlete looks like she's winning the race. I guess I'll shoulder my few pathetic belongings, leaving my self-respect behind, and limp away from Plato's Cave once again with my tail between my legs. Oh, I didn't want to make you upset dodalisque. Here, have a biscuit. Take two as they're ...

Merrick, I'll go and look more into this. But I really don't think historically the pips were of interest to the esoterists like Eteilla. It's an interesting subject to delve into though. As to the game. We mustn't forget that the game of tarot, the one that is so HUGELY popular in France still toda...

Theosophically reduced it's a nine. There should be a clue there. I was listening to what Kryon has to say about the numbers 1-9. He/they said number 9 is completion. So maybe chiscotheque is a complete man. Completion - J.L Nash Let there be none until we are dead Let it wait until jackals scream T...
