The less I know the better

- A deep dive into the realm of Tarot and oracle decks we do not understand. In my personal spiritual practice with cartomancy, I am looking for systems I can rely on, but also: I'm finding answers just because the cards reflect who I am on the inside. How exactly does this strange phenomenon occur? Who knows?
Why do I like to challenge myself in this sometimes frustrating way? Do I secretly enjoy NOT KNOWING? The less I know, the better?

Happy new year to you too! Interesting topics. My personal opinion is the system teaches me how to use the deck, similiar as the other energy tools such as runes, salt, tea leaf or 3-coins for I ching. Learning tarot can be technical study nowdays without being psychic, while psychic people might not know how to use Tarot but still can tap into intuition to know what's coming. "The book of ordinary oracles" by Lon Milo Q has amazing insight of this. I do enjoy Tarot for bringing me fun and joys or giving energy boost for my friends/clients. I don't use Tarot for my own questions or decision. For me, more I learnt about this system, less complicated I understand it is, our "logic" mind sometimes play tricks by processing information based on what we "see" and what we've learnt rather than trusting we are psychic. My personal opinion is the deck reflects creator's spiritual awareness and their energy, not be the same as mine. Our spiritual awareness shifts and evolves through our lifetime, such as the same book or song I read/listen years ago can bring me totally new dimensional feeling later on. Just letting time unfold all mystical truth, enjoy your tarot jouney, it is fun!
I love how you explained that and it resonated with something I like to say: as we change, evolve, learn, so do the cards. Their meanings change over time!
Interesting video, I t intrigued me. I do believe some study is important to the craft it seems to lay a foundation for me. I then try to loosen everything up to find my way in the sound,coulor texture ect kinda like improve dance (I was a dancer years ago, ballet helped me achieve my potential in modern dance as a dancer and choreography. Pina Baush and Martha Graham were my jam.
I sort of see tarot in this way.
Moving with the cards, the person I am reading for and myself.
I love decks that I dont understand as they give me the most room to move and feel my way through the darkness.
Okay, I will stop now as I could go on for a long time.
No, go on! 😍 I love Pina Bausch. Perhaps my philiosophy comes from having been a dancer myself.. lay the foundations to be a good dancer and then loosen everything up in order to perform from the heart. Very very interesting and thank you for sharing it
You sure did make the darkest deck out there, and I love it ; )
🙌
Tarot is always an eternal learning, looking, a-ha moments and enlightening. From Marseille which is so much more than a 2d image to the Dakini which takes you visually on a ride to a destination quite different. To study is a gift, to have intuitive insight is a gift.
It is like going to an art gallery and several floors of immersive experience. We would all walk away with something different.
Thank you for all your videos, they are the journey also!
Here's to 2024 and all it has in store. Best of wishes, brightest of blessings as always 🙏💜🙏
Wonderfully said! Thank you Clair. Happy new year
To me the images on cards have been learning tools; give me the name of a card and at this point and I can do a reading. The images do give you other things to help expand on a reading with colors and directionality, etc. and they can help a querant 'get' it. Non-traditional deck images are challenging and sometimes get me out of a traditional groove--I think of The Guardian Tarot, for example. Happy 2024 to you!
Great example, yes! Thank you and happy new year
For this exact reason I ordered the Terra Volatile Tarot today, can’t wait to get stuck into working with the additional aether suit.
Ooh interesting. What exactly attracts you to those images?
That’s so hard to put my finger on exactly!
I find the art really powerful and yet restful for my eyes? I like that it’s historical feeling but like a different history where esoterica didn’t fall out of favour? I like the blend of influence from different mythologies and philosophical and alchemical ideas and the idea of the fifth element of aether/spirit feels like something I’ve been missing (I know some people read the majors as the fifth element but I don’t totally connect to that).
That’s a big rambly answer to say basically it just grabbed my heart out of my chest and I needed to study it haha.
@@SaplingTarot Haha I understand both of those answers. You will make your own lore with the deck if it connects! The only way to know is to work with it, have fun
Happy new year Anna!!!! I'm a newbie in Tarot and I love your videos, thank you for sharing your wisdom!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for saying that and happy new year to you too 🥂
I have this connection with the Liffruma Oracle. Great to riff with you Anna and I hope you have a fresh January💃🏻
I don’t know that one... will look it up! Happy new year Lily
🥳 Happy New Year Anna ✌🏻
Happy new year!
I'm curious about what you think of open readings, as in the methods of Enrique Enriquez, Camelia Elias or Yoav Ben-Dov? Most examples are Marseille here, but Serge Pirotte, for example, has a lot of open readings with RWS. I want some grounded meanings personally, but in approaches like these, it is very interesting how study is not about a system of meanings of cards, but how you find meanings in a tableau of images. Such methods helped me a lot with reading the Thoth Tarot and Hermetic Tarot, oddly enough.
I say yes to those methods! I use them in my readings too, but I love to combine those types of techniques with more card to card styles. This, in my experience, is actually very intuitive. You do get the intuitve hits directly from the cards but it is much more free. I definitely use those. I do enjoy them more when it’s adding to a reading, and not the base of the reading
I got too excited about your question and hit send. I want to hear your thoughts too!
Happy new year and blessings to you Anna! Will be ordering the Lilith deck soon! 🙏🙌
Happy new year! That is lovely to hear, enjoy!
@@AstralLadyTarot Hi Anna, just ordered the Lilith deck! My first deck ever by the way 🤘😎👍. 🙏🙌
@@spacewagon Whaaat that is amazing, hope you love it 🖤
@@AstralLadyTarot Hi Anna, I received the Lilith deck yesterday (first deck for me). Thought, perfect, will have it for full moon. Then before leaving it for the night, cut the deck once and looked to see, and it was the Full Moon card 🙏🙌 !!!! I mean, wow! So I stopped there and put the deck in its place for the night. Figure I will pull that card tonight. Thanks and wishing you blessings! 😀
That is awesome, thanks for sharing that!!@@spacewagon
The Voyager Tarot is one of my decks I do not fully understand. It's a wonderful reader for me. I see myself most often in collage decks. A variety of images that exist from seperate spaces, fragmented pieces of reality that form a cohesive piece of art, complete. That somehow just works. While remaining mysterious to me.
The Voyager Tarot is a deck I love. Finding the image or images in the cards that zoom to the forefront during a reading, giving me a sample of my story. Making me come back to it again and again, attempting to gain the entire story. To understand it/myself better. Brain burners, gotta love them.
That’s one thing I like about the deck: there are so many collage pieces in one single card, you’ll perhaps never remember all of them and will always see something new. Which very much fits this video. Thank you!
💖💓
I feel this way about the Gothic tarot and the Margarete Peterson, but for different reasons. The former I thought I would need the guidebook to work with it but it has felt so intuitive and magical to me that I've hesitated to get the guidebook. The latter is just pure energy. I like to take note of suit and number, then just "scry".
Edited to add: Can't wait for your cards to arrive in my space! It's taking all my patience because you know how MPC is 😂
That scrying sounds like lovely work. Ahh that is great! Yes MPC can really take their time 😅 Excited for you!
I ❤ Crow’s Magick .It feels like the beginning of the universe to me ,a myriad of forms floating through it full of endless possibilities .
Similar to how you experience it maybe
That’s exactly what it looks like to me too!
YES 🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥 the void!! The beginning! The nothing! The birth!!
@@SaplingTarot So inspiring
It’s a deck with no system but it seems to speak in a primordial language that we understand ahh I don’t know how to communicate this @@AstralLadyTarot
@@Blackbirdbone-lx4ho I think I get it ;)
You never cease to amaze me, Anna, you truly are a master of your craft ☺️ reading tarot with only handwritten pieces of paper! I’m not sure just how much practice you need to be able to name the entire deck 😅 nevertheless, I can still try! I don’t practice every day, but someday I hope to be proficient enough to know all the cards 😊
🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
like the symbolism you talked about. how many decks do you have in your collection btw, somewhere between 5 and 40 ? just a guess 👽👍
I will count soon. Less than 40 👍
cool. and, wouldn't it be interesting if you have 24 decks total ? as in, the new year... let us know :)
Hello Anna. Great topic.This may seem strange, but during a deck interview the questions and answers go both ways.Example: During the interview with the Thoth, my question was, can we work well together? The answer: Are you willing to work for it? A valid question, really.Am I willing to go on a journey?Learn something new?Those are the decks I keep around.Not because they are pretty or cool; but because of the challenge.Also, I am a sucker for an inviting rabbit hole.Feel better soon.
Love that. Because those decks make you think. It’s not all answers that sound like “you are great, amazing, everything will be wonderful and 100% happy” because that is not true to life
Happy New Year Anna! Actually I have convert Crow’s magick to the “white version” some times ago and I have made paradoxical version in my Ps. And I still don’t know what do I think or feel about new appearance because it soooooo different and very candy-childish 🌈🍭🍬. Probably I will some day print it for my own use, but I have to process this visual “regression” first 😂
Haha that is crazy!!! Candy Crow like candy crush 💝
Its so true about Crows Magick being black lends to its deepness! I bet you would NEVER have fallen in love with it if it was stark white. In my INSANELY weird collection, I pride myself on trying them all throughout the year......but I always come back to my trusted RWS Golden Rider lol
Haha I certainly know what it’s like coming back to trusty imagery for Tarot work... we need it. Perhaps you are right. If the art was the same but all the colors were pastels it would have given me a very different idea of what the deck represents. Well, colors ARE very powerful and meaningful so.. it does make sense ;)
I've always had an issue with the RWS 10 of Cups. It started after reflecting on when I got this card, and the situations it described. Intimate relationships (all types), pleasure, but after a while, not being satisfied and those relationships and situations falling apart. So... Satiety - Thoth 10 of Cups. Tarot of the Abyss and its instagram-esque 10 of Cups makes me feel that there is something off too, even though that is not Ana Tourian's intent as far as I can tell. That's personal experience over any guidebook for you.
Exactly. That is a perfect example. I think you are correct in seeing something wrong because NO card can be ONLY positive/ negative. Satiety (it’s basically same in RWS) is not an all positive thing to experience either.. how long will it last? It merely shows a moment in time where the thirst is gone but it will come back.. etc
Mary-Ll tarot maybe lol? I know you struggle to make friends with it lol 😂
Hey! I’ve said so many things in this video, will you explain a little more what you mean so I can answer? Is that the deck you can read without studying? Definitely struggle with liking it, personally ;)
@@AstralLadyTarot you said something amongst the lines that you like decks that are different that challenge you etc. Mary-el definitely falls into that category in theory for you but it still surprises me that you don't love it. I personally adore it from these same reasons and the art is just mindblowing imo. It is definitely a deck u need to study and work with on order to get it but I feel so is Thoth for example.
What are your thoughts on Tarot of the Spirit?
@@Tarotismagic Hmmm, cool! It is one of the two decks I don’t study but also can’t get rid of yet (later on in video) and yes I agree it is surprising. Whyyy?? Tarot of the Spirit is gorgeous, seems wise, but I truly do not need it I believe. Did almost get it several times. Do you like working with it?
@@AstralLadyTarot I admit I didn't finish the video, life got in the way xD
I adore my Tarot of the Spirit but it is a STUDY. It is incredible on all the levels, honestly just WOW. I have both books that come with it. I mainly use the 700 pages one. I really really suggest getting it, I doubt that you would be sorry because everything on each card is done with purpose in mind - Joyce painted every card on top of the tree of life - and all the shapes, symbols, lines, colours have a meaning on each card. One can study it for life 😊🙏
@@Tarotismagic oh yes I remember! Thanks for the advice
