How To Figure Out The Elements: No. 147
First is a mention of Sue Bryce who talked about turning your good into great and hiring someone to do what you're not good at. The we consider the four Elements and how we can use two number systems - one using planets; the other using Major Trumps - to get a different and ideally deeper understanding of what are considered the basic building blocks of life on earth, if not the universe.

Horoscope Self & Fool's Real Journey: Lesson 146
Просмотров 575День назад
Part One is about the self as shown in the horoscope and how you can't just assume that we all conform to someone else's personal makeup. Part Two is about zero and its meaning and The Fool and about where it comes in the number sequence and what it can mean for the popular version of the Fool's Journey.

Trust Your Own Self: No. 145
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.14 дней назад
People want answers to their questions, but the dominant logic in the world has been command and control so we tend to refer and defer to experts. Instead, we can learn to trust our own selves by trusting our own selves. The Tarot helps us do that, as well as allowing us to by-pass confirmation bias. This is Part 1 of 2.

Don't Do That: Lesson 144
Просмотров 92021 день назад
It is common to "design" a spread using categories that seem sensible, but they're not. They just limit the Tarot and what the reader can bring to the reading. We consider this using a three-card spread with a Jungian interpretation.

A point about the meaning of the 9th card in a Celtic Cross. Then we see how the day of the week on which anyone is born can give the key to their personal cycle - how they go about doing what they do, and why, and how they can understand a card in their own way that may not be your way.

Orienting the questioner: Lesson 142
Просмотров 610Месяц назад
It is a good idea to put the questioner in the picture, so to speak, before a reading so they know what the Tarot is and what they can expect from an answer. We look again at the cards from the last video and re-interpret them, and see how we can string them together to show how answers might be derived.

You might like to take a few minutes to put the questioner in the picture about the Tarot. Show and talk about the four Suits, the Court cards and who or what they represent, and the Major Trumps. The questioner will understand more of the reading, and as you explain the Suits and cards, you will discover that you know more than you think you know. This is explained and demonstrated in the vide...
Snake or Eagle View: Lesson No. 140

Snakes see things close-up and in detail; eagles have an overview. Questions might require the snake view - details, specific information, what to do, etc. Other questions might be better with an overview so we can incorporate different ideas into our philosophy.

Fortune-Telling / Story-Telling: No.139
Просмотров 7332 месяца назад
You can turn a card and do fortune telling - making a prediction or giving a blanket statement about the meaning. You can also add more value by considering the story of how the questioner might have got there, or a wider idea of what it all means in their life. Here we look at the reversed Hanged Man; then the 6 and Queen of Coins and how the same suit in different positions can connect those ...

Chomsky and The Tarot: Lesson No. 137

Chomsky and The Tarot. Noam Chomsky is a Professor of Linguistics, etc., and he says that our ability to learn language is built-in like the body just knows how to grow. He also points out that we are creative in our use of language and that much of what we say has never been said before, even though that may seem unrealistic. With this in mind, interpreting a card is not so much about remember...
Family Resemblances - Tarot Lesson No. 136

Stefan wanted to know what the Tarot is for and here is the beginnings of an answer. We want definite answers about most of life - like science gives us - but instead we borrow from Wittgenstein and look for family resemblances with cards.

Tarot Lesson No. 135
Просмотров 5683 месяца назад
You can answer a question using the Celtic Cross sequence so the questioner knows the story that will unfold for them. However, we can give them sub-plots or extra story lines so they can make more sense of events for themselves and maybe answer why something is going on and not just what. We can do this with different triangles in the spread using combinations of three-cards. Sign up for a New...

This time, Diego asked about what to do if the cards that come up seem to answer a question that is different from the one that was asked. We begin by looking at the last three cards in the Celtic Cross about a relationship; then we interpret the whole spread to answer a different question. This way, we see how a card can be flexible and adaptable. Sign up for a Newsletter at thetarot.ca Mainly...

    This is so interesting, I’m a total newbie to tarot and there’s so much to learn but I have a question… I don’t quite understand how the numbers relate to the letters and thus how Fire becomes 16 but I’m wondering if you change the name of the element to another language it’ll probably become a different number and therefore a different card then the tower🙈 I’m from the Netherlands for instance and then we’d get a different outcome I’m guessing but this t not even be true. This is why I sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the aspects of tarot. Or is this no problem and then I’d just have to work with the card that comes up for me and see how that relates to “Vuur” which is Fire in Dutch? Thank you for all you do, I really really love your videos and your calm way of being🙏

    It's really interesting that you should mention Jung as I've been reading one of his books, Man and His Symbols, and it's been illuminating, very much recommends it. I'm compelled to write something because around minute 20ish, you mention that not listening to your inner self is something that could get you stuck in the wheel of fortune, it's exactly what Jung preaches - listening to your inner self.

    Go easy on Jung until you've read a bit more about him please. I recommend you start with his mother if your not already acquainted with her spiritual gifts. You're not wrong about what Jungian psychotherapy became, but that's not Jung. The Promethean Ego is the last hurdle he wouldn't allow himself to cross for the good of all. Someone has to be mad enough to go back into the cave to point the way out as Plato said. It's all an illusion that can't be explained without becoming part of the egoic illusion as we know. Check out Dr Iain M Gilchrist (nice relatable chap from Skye) if you haven't already crossed paths. Keep up the great work ☯️🕉️☸️🙏🏻🕊️ McGilchrist*

      Regular people have their questions. They want answers and can maybe look to the Tarot. I say you don’t need to find and depend on apparent experts or specialists who seem to have all the answers. People worship others instead of their own self - worship coming from a root that means “to find worth in”. I’m not so much anti-anything. I’m more pro-YOU.

    • @jamiemills2645
      @jamiemills2645 8 дней назад

      @@johnballantrae001 Regular people don't read tarot or Jung. Those that do should be beyond fearing their intuition or what tomorrow brings. I agree that only the person themselves can find the spark within, that frees one from the egoic prison, that separates us from the whole. I'm not knocking tarot, and certainly not 3 times on the back of the deck. I had a reading 30 years ago from a friend who was studying Jung with me at the time. She's been pretty spot on, and about as accurate as a natal chart, although she didn't have details for that. Obviously you knew Jung was very insistent about the importance of the natal chart and personally drew them up for all his clients. I'm not sure what percentage he read tarot for, but he promoted it's use and incorporated it into sessions with his clients. Anyway I'm supposed to be making a point in response to your, we don't need "experts" in our life. Yes I agree, only we can be the expert in our own lives, as the "expert" can only be an expert in their own life, if they are even that. I think you'll agree with me that there are very few experts in either tarot or psychoanalysis? I'm all for Pro-YOU, but both sides seem to encourage a YOU that's based in materialism. Have you ever had an enquirer ask the cards if they will ever understand the meaning of life rather than enquire about future material circumstances? I hear it's mostly the same on the other side, as most want to be happy as someone else rather than happy within themselves. Anyway, apologies for prattling on about how Jung is as misunderstood as tarot is to most.

    Thank you John. I've been experimenting with different ways to use the tarot and this "trust your own self" is interesting. I'm also trying to elmiminate confirmation bias so I tried something new on a creative project I'm working on. I'm writing a book about reconnection and there are a handful of people from my hometown who I wanted to call on a trip home but I only had time for 1 or 2 on the 2 night trip. To help decide if I should call any of these people and who to call, I went through the deck face up and assigned one person to three of the cards based on the image and meaning in relation to my relationship with the person. I only assigned 3 of the cards out of entire deck to the people and I drew three random cards and, what do you know, one of them came up that I had assigned to a person. I texted him and he responded right away. The "interview" is tomorrow. The 3 card spread also seemed relevant to expectations for this meeting. A good example of "trust your own self" (and the cards of course!). Your videos are so insightful, thank you!
