Tarot of the Bohemians (1889), Condensed [Part 1]

AUDIO WARNING: The sound quality is even worse than my usual amateur level. =) I have no idea what happened. Apologies. Do not listen with headphones.
Tarot of the Bohemians (1889) is one of those classic esoteric tarot texts that tarot enthusiasts say to themselves they’ll get around to reading someday but never actually do. Look, no judgment. Most folks today are so busy, who has time for that? So let me help you out. Sit through this 25-minute video and it’ll be the next best thing to having actually read the book for yourself.
In this installment of Sightsee the Tarot, we attempt to jailbreak Tarot of the Bohemians.
There are several free supplemental downloads that accompany our Papus tour:
- The Three Septenaries
- Meanings of the Cards (per Papus, as found in Tarot of the Bohemians)
- Twelve Astrological Houses Reading Spread (guides the total astrology beginner through the third tier of Papus's three-operation reading method)
- Reading with Significators

The line at the end made me laugh “even a woman with little intelligence can amuse herself..” awww thanks uncle Papus. 🤣🤣🤣

[@kimberlyrogers9953]

Hahaaa how utterly delightful, young woman thank you
My delight stems from hitting upon truths…even though once Man is involved, truth becomes like a Mist

[@Lisa_Papez]

I'm so thrilled to finally be able to sit down and soak up this 2-parter. Part 1 - amazing.

[@lessonlearner9788]

Oh my Tiny Tarot Baby Brain! So much going on with the religious syncritism and deep metaphysical philosophy peppered with the 'charming' 19th century guy rhetoric! I love it! Three weeks in on my joyous Tarot path and these videos are so profound and didactic I'm gonna cry! No i'm okay. :)Thank you Benebell, much peace and many blessings.

[@BenebellWen]

Hahaha oh dear... you're learning beginner tarot with MacGregor Mathers and now Papus Tarot of the Bohemians. *giggles* Oh lordy.....

[@SovereignSoul93]

​@@BenebellWendoes the trinity mean cardinal, fixed and mutable?

[@theloneliestloveliesttime]

thank you! I read about half the book and got some of it, but I felt like some of it was going over my head.

[@VOCATUS123]

I have been trying to make my way through this book for a couple of weeks. This video and the part 2 were both extremely helpful! Thanks for making them.

[@TamuNgina]

You have a way of breaking things down into understandable and digestible chunks for me. Your deck coupled with the 22 majors from RWS is my default style now. I've already ordered the second edition. I know I sound like a broken record. But thank you!! You are a blessing!

[@jessicathespy]

whackadoodle math, you are hilarious. I've love for you to sightsee the tarot in tarot interpretations in the channelled book the Ra Material

[@MiamiHeat872]

your videos on this book were amazing!
there's a new 2021 translation of the Three Books of Occult Philosophy by Heinrich Agrippa done by Eric Purdue.
perhaps one day we could get your consolidation of the first book? a lot of it seems to have inspired future occult practices including the Golden Dawn.

[@Wolfie.22]

Wow these videos are great. You have put this information together beautifully and made it easily understandable.

[@Xieerqi]

Oh wow. I've heard this book mentioned and came across it couple of time, but . . . wow. There's a lot to unpack. And SKT's 3 0 cards make a lot more sense now. Oh, wow. Also, I haven't thanked enough for these videos, so Thank you, Benebell, so much ! Hopefully with time I'll be able to express gratitude in a better way

[@drmoreirafilho1]

There are Also two excelents books by G.O. Mebes from the Russian martinist Order!

[@RyanEdmondsMyLifeAsRyan]

I'm so excited to have found this! Thank you 💖 Just about to begin working through the text, so this is gna be great

[@popastrology1900]

Thank you for this video. I have Tarot of the Bohemians and this was very helpful.

[@marcoslimacerqueira7548]

Thank you by the video. Incredible work.

[@michaelm.3602]

Typical excellence from one of the true greats.

[@Lisa_Papez]

"Awwwww... thanks Uncle Papus!" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@sovereignself6835]

Time to bust out the serious notebook. Can't wait until I have my Vitruvian because I foresee some long hours of study ahead of me.

[@KaraTarot-4enlightening]

Fascinating from a Tarot history perspective, but yoikes, I have no desire to pursue this. 😂 I know my limits! I must say that Papus’s “math” is why I find numerology so defeating. Everyone seems to have their own system for it, so there isn’t ever any “there” there!!! 😅
I have your brilliant Revelation deck. Is your deck based in the numerology of Papus, or were you just using your deck for demonstration purposes?

[@crazypikachucrcr7529]

TCM ,Acupressure , Acupuncture !☯️

[@Acujeremy]

Hi Benebell, how much of your Spirit Keeper's Tarot deck is directly based on Papus' philosophy and his Tarot of the Bohemians book?

[@emfinformer313]

Love your videos and your style, (heck, I wish you were my girlfriend!!:)) - all of your videos on this theme I find real engaging as a starting novice on the Tarot path. Hey, and the design of your new deck is awesome!

[@jojojacques810]

You speak too fast and it’s impossible to absorb!
