Just recently found your channel, and you are beyond delightful! I love the way you speak about the cards, and the unique little twists you put on them. Your tempo and content are really a breath of fresh air as well.
+Colin Campbell Thanks, Colin! That means a lot to me, really really. I'm so happy you like my videos. Let me know if there's anything I can feature for you! :-) Be well!
I understand getting annoyed with yourself for "rambling", etc, but OMG I LOVE your rambling! You just have a natural charisma (something tells me you hate that word, haha) about you that just makes me, and I'm guessing others, listen. We know you have a wealth of knowledge which you impart to us in a very down-to-earth practical yet passionate way, and it comes across even when you tangent here and there. Thank you so much for the effort and time you put into these videos!!!!
Washing dishes now while I listen. Love your voice!! I hope u consider doing a Tarot podcast (if u don't already have one and I don't know about it. 😏 Gotta check!!) Anyway, thanks for such awesome content. It's a drop of soothing sanity almost lost in the storm we're all in right now. 😊☕💛🌻
'We may struggle to understand the High Priestess because we do not have the experience of the High Priestess'... *nods in utter agreement and an appreciation of the messenger '. That... Is epic truth... *runs to journal *🤣
I’ve watched many of your vids while trying to decide which decks to begin with ... and if this journey is for me. Thank you for your offerings. They have cast a light into the dark places. I received my second deck today, a TdM deck (still deciding on my third but you make it so hard to narrow the list), and could wait to lay out the cards and begin watching this video. Your insights are open my Aquarius mind to see more. I thank you for that gift.
Thanks, Tom, for your delightful insight into the cards! I feel that I am really understanding more from watching your videos than all the reading I have done in the past. Creepily, I feel like *we are friends in my head*! Thanks so much again for sharing your spirit with the universe 💗
I love that!! And I'm so happy these are helpful. That means so much to me, it really does. If there was a way I could make a living teaching tarot, that would be the most amazing thing!
Another great explanatory video! I have to say, coming from a Russian Orthodox background, I could never relate to the Hierophant except for the Russian Tarot of St.Petersburg. The Lovers in the RWS deck had a religious overtone I never liked either, preferring the Marseille card. I like how you are taking the cards from various decks and helping me see the meanings regardless of the deck.
Totally offtopic, but I really love the purple box RWS. I'm autistic and too vibrant/too many colours in a deck really don't work for me at all with my sensory issues. Anyway, I'm new to your channel but loving it, thanks so much for all the education, you're an awesome teacher!
This was great! Ill continue the series soon. I struggle with The Hierophant the most because it brings up negative past rigid influences for me. I appreciate your take on it. I have to say my absolute least favorite card is The Lovers! I've never known why but I just don't like it in any deck I've used. I appreciate your guidance in helping me learn to accept it. I'm learning so much!!
please do not quote me you mentioned the Empress as Salt and I believe that is a correct alchemical correlation. I'm pretty sure I got that from the DuQuette book I mentioned in another video

Tom Benjamin I would love to hear what some of your favorite cards are. Majors, minors, whatever floats your boat I guess
Okie dokie. I've been looking for a theme for a new video, so I can work on that soon. :-)

@@thefoolsjournal I have been spreading the news about your awesome videos! Take care and look forward to more of your amazing insights! ♠️♥️♣️♦️
Hi Tom! Thank you for these videos. They are really useful for a beginner like me!
+Mara P Thanks for that! I'm happy they're helpful!

I'm so glad -- thanks for watching! I remember the Russian Tarot of St. Petersburg and thinking it was beautiful -- I should go and look at it again!
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you.

+Coco C I'm gonna look for that book, too!
Some Theraflu ,Robitusson and a good night sleep will fix that right up
