Great stuff! Very interesting. You show so many aspects to this classic pack of cards! From one reader to another, best to you on your Tarot journey! Best - Vincent
I also thought they where ugly, but when a Marseille deck was on sale I bought a copy, AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THE DECK ♡ now they are just so beautiful. marseille is the deck who teach us to truly read the symbol, colors, direction, shapes and more and I just love the pips. Intuitive reading became something out of this world with this deck and system.
4:35 The four animals represent the 4 Fixed signs/Seasons: Human/Angel (Aquarius-Winter), Eagle/Phoenix (Scorpio-Fall), Lion (Leo-Summer), and Bull (Taurus-Spring). And they naturally also represent their respective elements and corresponding suit.
I'm starting to find that the Marseilles decks are more elegant and definitely more subtle. The original RWS is still pretty subtle, compared to most of the more recent RWS creations. Anyway, I'm really falling in love with the Marseilles. Thanks for your videos.
I am obsessed with my marseille deck. By far my favorite. Thank you for these great videos. Here you read the stories, not some one else's. ie patriach
Thank you for making this video. I love the Marcelli deck myself and the 1jj Swiss, I've been reading the second deck for since I was 22. I'm older now, but fascinated by the art, imagery and connections. I've learned a lot from you today, so thankyou! I just subbed Xx willow-sage
I’ve watched a number of tarot related videos on CZcams before, but I have never subscribed to a tarot channel before, except for today. This video was really great, I definitely want to see more!
I was looking for a pleasing marseille deck and stumbled upon your mamanmiyuki mini deck video and was immediately sold! To the deck and your channel that is :-)
I really appreciate your videos on Marseille decks! So very informative and it gives the boost I need. Clearly, I have a lot to learn, and videos like this inspire me to learn more. Thank you so much for sharing. :)
Thank you so much! I'm so fascinated by Tarot de Marseille, that I wish to share it with others! :) If I'm being successful in encouraging people to use TdM, then I'm happy! ^__^
You are indeed being successful! I am enthused to learn more! :) I was gifted a Marseille style deck (published in the 70s if I remember correctly) by my friend's mother. It is very special to me and I need to learn how to use it to properly and honour the Marseille system. :)
Thank you so much for your videos!!!!! This is giving me hope in learning Marseille. I can't read books, they make me sleepy so ur videos are my saviour!!❤️❤️❤️ Thank you again!! Sending you more power!!!
Thank you so much! :) If you like learning from videos, you might be interested in my Practical Marseille course, it's available for purchase :) Some info here: czcams.com/video/TjquNgDKqn8/video.html
I enjoyed this video very-very much, I am just starting working with Marseille style decks, and there were some great pointers in your video, thank you!
I am so glad I found you here and on IG. I've always been a RWS girl but for a while now I've felt a pull towards TdM. But wasn't sure where to start. Your videos are very informative. Thank you.
This was interesting.I think the tarot is beautiful in this form. I enjoy this alot. I misplaced or lost one and must purchase again. I think I will start looing at eyes and positioning more.I really like the way you brought things out.Good looking out and through a different lens. 💘 😃
What a helpful video, it helps me to feel a little less intimidated by those non-scenic pips and to better appreciate the beauty of the Marseille deck’s “ugliness” and the creative possibilities it offers for reading and for developing intuitive skills. 😊
I tried Marseille a long time ago. Got intimidated but I love the beauty of these decks and have continue to collect. I really find your video a helpful reference and it is very encouraging. Thank you.
I know the feeling! I felt intimidated at first as well! But as I said, there's no right or wrong here, so is pretty liberating to try this other system :) All the best to you!
The actual concept of a distinctive 'Tarot de Marseilles' is no older than the 1930s-40s, it was basically a 'brand' created for marketing by the Grimaud company. Likewise with the TdM 'systems' which were created by Joseph Maxwell and Paul Marteau in the 20th century. My first 'imprinting' of Tarot in the 1970s was via encountering TdM and Piedmontese Tarocchi. Timeless designs but essentially modern recreations, like the Camoin and other innovative variants more recently. I'd also add that the obsessive interpretations of minor details in TdM is too literal- minded an exegesis for my tastes...it seems to confuse the essential symbolic content with arbitrary decorative and accidental elements. After all the colour schemes were really just dictated by the cheap production methods of pochoir stencilling. Having said that, of course intuition can be sparked by any detail of an image and that's entirely valid as part of the personal divination process...
I'm always of the opinion that it's good to read the way that works for you, but it is not that easy to find your way, so we try, we experiment and if we don't give up, we can arrive at a technique that is for us - at least for now, because we are ever changing creatures :) What is you preferred way of reading?
@@wolfofcoins Some refer, with some justification to TdM as the 'Tarot de Milan'!(And Lyons rather than Marseilles was the major hub of French Tarot manufacture in the 17th-18th century.) Agreed that Tarot cartomancy is a decidedly delicate art. I just use a simple 3 card spread most days - (I find too many cards makes it harder for me to pick up the 'signal')...I also think that the best readings combine pure intuitive insight with an informed sensitivity to traditional symbolic meanings. Etteilla's 18th century Piedmontese cartomancer sources still inform a lot of the general consensus re. the cards' divinatory meanings. The modish notion nowadays that one should 'throw away the books' and read one's own intuitive meanings into the cards is all well and good - of course flashes of pure intuition are necessary to divine effectively. But I do suspect that this contemporary trend is actually based on the influence of post-modernist deconstruction, the notion that there are no ultimate truths other than what we 'read' into texts or images...
I’d say the angel top left Angel is the cups suit, bottom left is coins as you say, active earth, a bull perhaps; the top right is swords in the world, the eagle, and the lion bottom right is the wands. Top right is air, active. Bottom right is active wands, the right side of the card is active and the left side of the card is passive, so cups and coins receive, feelings and emotions are on the top, the two bottom “animals” are active, your actions and money and health etc, belong to the earth plane which is the bottom of the cards. Thank you for your video, it’s always so good to hear another tdm lover offer their opinions. That’s what’s so special about the deck, it’s history and forcing tour mind to intuitively understand their meanings, without a specific image guiding you to a conclusion. Really interesting 😊🙏🏻😊
Thank you for your comment, it's very interesting! It's amazing for me how depending on the context you can see so many different things in a simple image! Much love to you, fellow TdM lover! ^_^
Thank You so much! This is super interesting! Almost want to do a crash-course in French so I can read the book that goes with the Millenium deck, NOW!!! but it's already May 2018, so I will wait until the English version comes out, hopefully in the Autumn. Now I'm hooked on the Marseille, and you are helping out with where to start. Much appreciated, Ann in Devon, England.
Hi, intresting video. Thanks. Maybe, if I may say one thing : in order to establish a more personnal connection with your viewers would it be possible to look directly in the camera? Now, it's looks like you are talking to a third person present in your room.
Love your videos about Marseille. I am just beginning and have 3 decks only with pips😅😅😅 and what I do is to see all the details in the images like you said. I use to do that with my first deck an Egyptian one. To read more intuitively works for me , and if it fails I know the RWS meanings😅😅😅😅😅
Thank you! :) Sure, just do what works for you! My first deck was a pip deck, but when I reconnected with tarot world, I got a lot of decks with scenic Minor Arcana :)
Thank you! ^___^ Haha, indeed, I used to have a knitting channel ( WolffUndSchafe Podcast), I was also a yarn dyer, but I'm not in the business anymore. I do spin as well, but I'm much more into cross stitch these days :>
@@wolfofcoins I'm sorry that I missed your knitting and dying channel/podcast. Do you spin with a wheel or spindles? I am a relatively new tarot reader, but have fallen in love with it and am just starting my journey with TdM.
@@gourmetknitters5938 Oh, lovely! TdM has many charms! ^_^ I have a spinning wheel and spindles as well. At some point I preferred spinning on a spindle and plying on the spinning wheel :)
I really like your point of view :).......Concerning The Millenium, he helps me to really love the Tarot de Marseille more than before (i also thought that the TdM wasn't really beautiful but i used it because it's so an intuitive deck) . Thank you for your video ;-)
On the Millennial website they do not tell you what the dimensions of the cards are. Can you tell me what the size is? Also, what is the card stock like? I have heard that the Jodorowsky card stock is not so nice, pretty flimsy? How does the Millennial compare with the Jodorowsky that way. Sorry to bother you with this. What intrigues me about the M. deck is the expansion of the borders. Thanks, Anne
My ruler is in milimeters, so I'm giving mm here :) The cards are 64mm x 123mm. The card stock is stiffer than Jodo-Camoin, and thicker too. I personally prefer thinner and more flexible cards (for me the Jodo-Camoin shuffles really well, I love it!), but some people really enjoy the Edition Millennium card stock. What I love about these cards it that they look like they have pointy edges (like original tarot cards had), but really they are not! So they don't hurt my hands while shuffling :)
Oh, thanks a bunch. I have the Dodal deck by Flornoy and love it. It has those slightly rounded corners like you describe. So beautiful. So what's your fav of the two decks you have, the mill. or the Jodor? Ha! Pressure! Anne
TdM ♥ are the most beautiful and elegant decks, also accurate and old school, don't get me wrong, I love RWS, but TdM !!!!!! is in other level for sure!, even whem I'm more of a lenormand girl lol
@@wolfofcoins and also I think that marsella develops more intuition than rider, back then tarot readers, did not have books of numerology and meanings, so they had to read tarot almost just by intuition, because of the visual methods, and we have to think that tarot did not have numbers on majors arcanas, so it was really about intuition, that is what it makes me love Marsella even more
I do have to say something, I take back what I say about rider, yesterday I chat with some girl, and she told me that back then, she was very depressed and to her rider and tarot, and all that mystic thing helped her to overcome all that bad period of life, I need to be a little more open mind jajaja
Wolf Of Coins thank you! yes I found and watched it after I posted this. Love your TdM videos! I have the Noblet, Dodal and CBD but I’m still finding myself drawn to the Noblet probably because it was my first and I love the small size. I’ve heard very bizarre things about Jodorowsky as a person and his deck so I guess I’ve avoided it
@@davegarciaofficial Yes, Jodorowsky certainly is a controversial figure. His book was my first TdM though and his deck was my first real TdM - so, like you towards the Noblet, I feel a sentiment towards it :)
At 14:40 you showed a Knight of Coins card... but it was the one from Jodorowsky, not the Millennium Edition. (It was getting a little confusing!) For classic Marseille I like the Millennium Edition very much (also Jodorowsky and Noblet), but for everyday reading and for travel I like Lo Scarabeo's Ancient Italian Tarot (a reprint of an 1880 Italian deck) - it's cheap and plentiful (in print since 2000), easy to shuffle, has rounded card edges, and it follows the Marseille template while offering delicate and detailed beautiful images.
Yes, I used two decks, because it was easier to prepare all of the cards in advance and film this way :) I have the Ancient Italian, it's a great deck! But I do find myself using the more "crude" decks for reading, actually. They seem to stimulate my brain better :D But it's an individual thing, I suppose :)
This is what Jodorowsky says. I also share his view because eagle is predator in air, and Angel comes from Christanity, mercy, spirit, astro Pisces=water=Cups (Ichthys, Fish = Christ). Another version is: Raphael (Aquarius) is upper left, Gabriel (Scorpio) is the eagle, Michael (Leo) is the lion, and Uriel (Taurus) is the bull (Earth).
For me the Angel also fits better with Cups - like you said, angels bring nice things to mind (e.g. guardian angel) and eagles are dangerous and have sharp beaks. However we will never know what the original intention was, so I think it's up to us as readers to choose a version that speaks to us personally and help us as readers :)
Great stuff! Very interesting. You show so many aspects to this classic pack of cards! From one reader to another, best to you on your Tarot journey! Best - Vincent
Thank you so much, you're so kind! :)
I'm obsessed with your Marseille tarot videos lol.
