Occult historian and author Mitch Horowitz sheds some light on how this powerful tool transitioned from an early version of bridge to a mystical divination tool.

    Tarot - I am no expert on this - one thing I do know - it all depends on the readers consciousness . Make sure the reader cares about people and has a good heart - thoughts & words carry lots of power. This applies to choosing a doctor , a therapist , a spiritual guide , and all the people you surround yourself with .

    As much as I love Victorianism, we really do have to blame the Victorians for misappropriating, misinterpreting, or otherwise forever altering much of our perception of spirituality, the occult, mysticism, and so on. Even the concept of the pentagram having positive or negative connotations based on which direction the point is pointing (right side up or upside-down) is a decidedly Victorian invention.

    I bought my first Tarot deck at 17. There was only the Rider-Waite deck available at that time. I studied Astrology metaphysics Tibetan Buddhism Jungian Psychology shamanism and then rediscovered the Tarot and studied with two teachers for about a year and a half regularly. I became a pro in July 1991 and here I am. The Tarot is a symbolic path that the soul encounters in 22 archetypal stages from 0 The Fool to The World and back again #22 The Fool. I intuitively believe that the Tarot evolved from the ancient metaphysical teachings which were secret teachings encoded in symbols and the 4 elements and were passed on verbally than written down. The system wherever it came from correspond completely with the Hebrew Alphabet and The Tree of Life. It is also anti-church anarchy. Because it is archetypal it can morph to fit into any system applied to it. It is a mystery occult that can't completely be explained.

    I’m late here. But, I own several decks because I love to learn about different illustrations of the same “meaning.” At the very, very end of your video you hit the nail on the head: what speaks to you. When it comes to choosing a deck you must go with your intuition and pick the deck that you simply understand. It’s also important to understand where Tarot originates from (loosely) and this was covered very well in your Video. The Tarot Bible by Sarah Bartlett is an amazing book that covers the origin in great detail along with other much needed info for those wanting to grasp the full info of understanding tarot and learning how to read cards without a reference book. Thanks for sharing this!!!!

    The history of the Tarot goes much further than the 15th century, they are referenced by the Cathars (Catharism (11th - 14th Century France) and Cathari (4th - 8th centuries)), Joachim of Fiore (c. 1130/35-1201/2 AD), and the Oracles of Leo the Wise (866 - 912 AD). Where would the early Christian Cathari have taken the idea of the Tarot with its already highly developed meanings and symbolism that invoked such wrath from Rome? - The biblical Urim & Thummim (Lights & Perfections / Alephs & Tavs / Alphas & Omegas) were a set of 22 ancient (probably pre-Sumerian) Runes that spawned the Phoenician and Hebrew alphabets and an array of similar later Rune sets throughout Europe and the Middle East. The 22 Major Arcana reflect symbolism and imagery from deep in the Hebrew Texts, themselves redactions of much older texts.

    Tarot or Playing Cards are in 4 suits according to 4 elements Earth Water Fire & Air and are of 52 cards or 52 weeks in a year. Tarot has 4 more or Major Arcane that holds on the rest 52 cards.
    So of course these cards resonates with all of us.
    So colors, visuals, images are cruicial relevant in mysticism or Tarot but people tend to naturally resonates with the numbers.
    Maths and numbers will always be universal

    Us Romany Gypsies played a huge role in the development and spread of the Tarot. Remember that the term "Gypsy" is an abbreviation of "Egyptian".

    I have been on a very long journey of knowledge, trying to gather as much information about everyone as I can. And lately, I've been obsessed about lost civilizations and lost technology. The extremely advanced people who lived before the cataclysm that happened 12,000 years ago, saw deeper meaning in the Earth itself, the Moon, stars, the Sun, how the planets move, the whole solar system! And these planets and the Sun became their gods. It was what ruled everything around them. They had the period of the lion, the period of the ram, the bull, the dishes, etc, etc. They were building megalithic structures for the equinoxes! They also, when faced with the cataclysm and so many of the people died and much of their knowledge and culture was lost, they still tried to make sure that their knowledge got transferred into the future. They did so by storytelling, games, writings and images. I learned that many of the images of the Tarot cards, has direct links to the very, very ancient civilizations.

    i'm seeing in the comments that there is more to the story than this, and i'm curious what other historically minded occultists would recommend to get started on learning

      Thank you for mentioning the slur...I am putting together a playlist of what tarot really is, and less than a minute in, an outdated slur that was known to be outdated and a slur all the way back when this video was made in 2018. I will keep watching to see if it deserves to be in my playlist, maybe make a side note in the description box of the playlist about it being unacceptable. But man, 2018, less than a minute in, they should've known better.

    We do feel that it would be helpful if we included some information about
    the tarot and its general terminology and compared that with a general
    outline of the tarot from Ra’s view-point, the viewpoint which Ra shared
    with the Egyptians so many years ago. The following comparison deals only
    with the twenty-two Major Arcana since it was only these “concept
    complexes” which were used by Ra, and which were later drawn by
    Egyptian priests, to describe the process of the evolution of the mind, the
    body, and the spirit. The Court Arcana and the Minor Arcana were of other
    influences and were concerned primarily with the astrological approach to
    this study. Each card is described first by its Arcanum number, then by
    traditional terminology, and thirdly by Ra’s terminology.
    The cards upon which we originally questioned were not available for
    reprinting, so we have reproduced here the Major Arcana of the deck most
    closely resembling our first deck. These images are to be found in George
    Fathman’s, The Royal Road, A Study In The Egyptian Tarot; Key To Sacred
    Numbers And Symbols. Eagle Point, Oregon, 1951, Life Research
    Foundation.
    As you can see, the first seven cards of the Major Arcana were designed to
    describe the evolution of the mind, the second seven, the evolution of the
    body, and the third seven, the evolution of the spirit. Arcanum Number
    XXII is called The Choice, and the choice spoken of is the central choice
    each conscious seeker or adept makes as it strives to master the lessons of the
    third-density experience to seek in service to others or in service to self.

    When I sold tarot decks to newbies - I would tell them to get a deck with the most books. Like the Rider/Waite decks and that way if your intuition is off or you are just learning you will get a general overview of what the deck is trying to communicate with you or others. Cause when I did come across the many that bought a deck off of intuition and "because the deck was pretty" became frustrated and could not decipher them and did not learn from them or gave the wrong advice from them. I.E MA13 - am I gonna die?

They are a tool to b used for the good of a persons forward movement, which is why u must be careful who u trust, a lot of ppl just do it for money! Which is sad as ever!

    If you reverse the o and the a you get the anglicized version of the Hebrew word Torat - it means 'Laws'. The Tarot we have in our day (the classical Tarot) comes from the Hebrew Torah - There is a set of images to be found in the letters. This is provable.

    he didn't really explain the "games" portion (did they use it to predict the present and future and past)? did someone purposely study the journey of life and compile it into a deck as per their interpretation or did it accidentally happen or was it based on the hierarchies of society as in the royals, kings, queens, knights, popes (since religion was the rule of law & government back then)?

    Tarots are absolutely identical to the Italian regional cards that we use today in modern Italy to play games.
    The only difference is that the Italian regional decks are missing the major triumphs.
    It shows the deep connection between the two and obviously tarots were and still are beautifully crafted GAMING CARDS.
    All what came centuries after, all this mystical aspect of it, is just an invention without any foundation or evidence.
    Those are simply gaming cards!

    • @M4th3u54ndr4d3
      @M4th3u54ndr4d3 Рік тому

      yes, all the card games had basically the same visuals. The modern diamonds suit is the coins suit/gold suit/disks suit. The spade suit is the swords suit. The modern hearts suit is the cups/goblets suit. And the modern clubs suit is the wood suit/bastoni/batons/bastões. Our modern cards are derived of the late medieval european cards, which are derived from the Mamluk cards. In mamluk cards they had coins, swords (scimitars), goblets and polo sticks. Absolutely similar to ours.

  • @EyeOfTheVeda
    @EyeOfTheVeda 6 років тому +1

    I really appreciate the effort and can confirm much of what the guy is saying, but other parts were a bit disappointing, and that is in no way the whole story on the origin of the Tarot.
    Although it was a good video overall, it came off a bit belittling. It would have been better to frame the information in the context of "this is all the info we have, but it likely has much more of a history than this"
    That is a huge question to claim to have the answer to, the origin of Tarot....and it comes off as kind of arrogant to tell us in the first few minutes that all these prior stories and authorities on the origin of tarot are nonsense, but this one guy who likes the Bad Brains is the authority on its origin. So we should just hunker down and take what he says as the final answer. Its true, a lot of what he says, and there never was all that embellishment in the original cards...But still, he is not a primary source either.
    When there is not enough academic evidence to answer the question I think we should admit that, and not try to assert that the tiny fraction of evidence we do have of the Tarot just happens to be its origin and the first time it ever was known about.
