Wow. What a fantastic instructional video. I think I just learned more about reading TdM in 40 minutes than I have in the past few months. I’ve really been trying to practice reading visually, but I get so frustrated with the pips that I just put my TdM decks down and go back to RWS. I struggle trying to get visual stories from the repetitive pips. What a relief to know I can just leave them out! And that’s traditional, too? Super cool. And thanks again for helping us all on our Tarot journey. I really loved the way you worked with the pip cards at the end. You make it seem much less intimidating.
After watching this video I Have just turned on the bell beside the subscribe button so not to miss any of your video's. You & your knowledge is very much appreciated. Thank you Tom ❤👍
Love these Tom. I found the first one the Trumpets very interesting so I tried it & WOW geese Tom I got an answer to a question for myself in something I've been pondering about for a while. Seriously Tom thank you ❤ I have only recently subscribed to your channel & have been learning so much also going back over some of your old video's. Fantastic 👍😊❤
Was guided her by an online friend. This is a brilliant way to read with Marseille. I'll be using this way to lay the cards while i practice and learn Marseille 😊 Thank you
Oh My gots… I am trying to read along with you but using the Spanish tarot espagnol (Fournier). THIS is so much fun!! Thanks for all you do and all you share. Hugs from the Netherlands!
Mentally focusing is a good way - I find I end up answering the original question in some way - but mentally framing is good. I like the majors with minor explainers a great reading style. And thank you for inspiring Colin’s VR
Coming to this video veerry late. I use two TdM decks to read. One I use only the Major Arcana and read using the Open Reading technique (Ben-Dov, Camelia Elias). The other deck I use all the cards with the meanings I ascribed to the minors (covered in Tarot on Earth and Vincent Pitici's Bare Bones Tarot). Both techniques work but the Open Reading is POWERFUL.
good morning Benjamín..brillant teacher..I ONLY USE THE MAYOR arcana of Marsella Tarot..I get higly confused with menor ARCANA..thanks so much..I am an intuite reader..tarot helps me be more analitic.left brain..lineal thinking..Rose Green
There are a couple decks that I JUST use the majors from, the Madonni tarot comes to mind...but I'm not above trying it with any deck. I love this method - no matter what deck. Using little things from what a color or a little shape, or in busy decks, a certain piece of the pie makes us think in the context of the question, or even the querant. I was doing a reading the other day, and the good old...uh, I dunno - whatever...that's your question????? But okay, let's open the four worlds, give you a querent card and see what comes up...wands, and then the inevitable, what are you passionate about...uh, travel??? Well in the end there was a bunch of cups, 2 ten cards, and a whole lotta wands...it ended up being a love and partnership reading...clearly, and there were two knights, so hmmm - who's the other guy? or is this two sides of the same guy? (we had a 4/Wands, AND a 2/Cups already) you just never know what'll come through if you give the cards some space for imagination...
IROSHIZUKU INK I LOVE -- what are those fountain pens? Also, thank you so much for this. I feel like I need to rewatch this a few more times to really get all the information.
Do you mind spelling out the name of the method you used in this video? I'm trying to point out the name of it so i can reference it in my work, but feeling OCD about the spelling of the guy's name 🤦♀️
Ive been feeding an ai sola busca cards and asking it to interpret it from a 15th century perspective. A book is being written is all im saying. 😮 would recommend anyone interested in new interpretation to give it a go.
I really like that you dont rephrase questions to the client, that you answer the questions asked. It actually kind of annoys me that idea that readers should "educate" clients on how to ask better question or demystify the cards. Etc... as a client, I would not go to a reader for ANY OF THAT! Keep it spooky, lol. Dont educate me, or tell me I'm asking the wrong questions etc... cuz if I wanna know "does he love me?" I *dont* want a reading of "what can I do to attract love to my life." Lol. If i go to order a hot dog i dont want a health lecture and be given something "better for me." Ya know?
I love Yoav Ben-Dov’s Open Reading and I’m glad you have shared this with others who are learning.

I've tried this out with my Chrysalis deck and it really helps me get to know the visual symbolism in a new system. Thanks :)
Always a delight watching your Marseille vids. Chuckles all around :-) Looking forward to your class!
This is great! So much fun! Can’t wait to give it a try............
Love to see you work with the Marseille. I've recently bought your book. It will arrive next week. I am so excited to start working with it!

Perfect, just what I was looking for . .thanks..

Yay!!!! I love this. Thank you!!
I came for educational purposes and ended up with a resonate reading 😂🤣😅

I've used this method before but forgot about it. Thanks for this!

I do like the first method with all the picture cards including the courts then the Thoth minors underneath, it worked well. Thanks Tom ✨
Really great examples & exercises. Very interesting, challenging & helpful 👌

This.Is.Such.a.treat. EEEEkkkk. Thank you! :)
Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
you're a great storyteller
I'm going to give it a try I think it will take practice, as I'm not good with drawing from visual. I use numerolgy and the suit .

I love you content, brother!
Just a heads up though. The curved pips are swords and the straight pops are wands 👍🙏
I read the pips for Ben-Dov CBD but I struggle to match it more modern TdM as the pips don’t follow the visual structure.

You’re a TWSBI guy huh? Never knew you were into fountain pens too. :) if you ever wanna branch out I’d love a pen video lol
Seconded. As a pen/paper nerd I always want to see the what and the how of anyone's stationery usage.
