Excellent review! After getting back into tarot this year I found myself attracted to historical techniques and ordered this off Amazon based on recommendations on the tarot subreddit. It looks like an excellent resource! Looking forward to digging into it tomorrow.
I loved your review, thank you for going to great lengths to explain your view of this book. I bought it and read it after your review and honestly I’ve purchased and read many books in an attempt to gather a whole complete and concise (& not so arrogant) way of looking at the marseille. I loved it. Thank you for helping me make the leap.
Wow! This looks great! The color plates remind me of my coffee table book on tarot. (It's a book on the historical tarot cards and full of pictures of all the old pip decks.) I've been using Vincent Pitisci's cheat card that came with his Marseilles deck, but this has so much info that will help me read. Thank you so much! ❤️
I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this book! It reminds of the French books I studied on Tarot when I first got introduced to it. Obviously, the decks were Tarot de Marseille as I grew up in France and it was a long time ago now. Reading this book has reminded me of old techniques I used to use in readings but had forgotten about. She really is a mine of information on Tarot (so is her partner John Matthews who wrote the meanings for the cards in The Book Of Shadows An Alchemist's Story which you commented on the other day). She gives you different meanings (including older cartomantic ones)for the cards themselves and lots of various techniques to apply in your readings. I have read this book probably 10 times already and still reference it regularly.😅 To top it all of, it's incredibly well made: beautiful glossy paper, lovely vintage colours and well organised. I cannot recommend it highly enough! I'm delighted you're interested in it!💫🤸✨
@thetarotofclaude Well, now you've sold me on it! Guess I'll be ordering it. I really want to be fluent in tarot, I practice every day, but I've been a slow learner. Seems my brain has slowed down, and I don't learn as quickly as I used to. (I'm 61) I don't even remember if I ordered this book after I watched this. 😂 😜😳 I feel that if I can learn the pips, I will be able to read any deck. I've gotten the suits memorized and am working on the numbers, but I still struggle with the court cards and some of the majors. It will come with more time and practice. 🃏❤️ Edit: I did order it earlier, lol! 😂
@@NYCHFAN 😅 your "edit" made me burst out laughing! 🤣Practice is the key! And the court cards trip up most people... I see them as a specific incarnation of their suit eg. Queen of swords is gaining understanding of a situation, King of swords is having expert knowledge on something/being very smart and not ruled by feelings rather looking at things from a factual point of view etc... I hope you enjoy the book as much as I do!😊💛🌟
@@thetarotofclaude That makes perfect sense. I plan on enjoying it. Thank you for all you do with your channel, I do appreciate you. Would love to sit at the table and chat tarot and magic with you over coffee/tea. 🤗❤️
