Thanks for posting Vincent. Appreciate the bare bones approach the Tarot of Marseilles deck offers. Before I even knew about the Tarot of Marseilles, my Grandmother taught me to read using playing cards. With those all you have to go by is the numerology and the elemental quality of the suits. Very similar to reading with the Marseilles deck, only no Major Arcana.
I'm getting so much more out of my Marseilles deck after looking at your videos. I won't see the RWS deck in the same (limited) way again. Wish I had seen your videos a few years ago!
This is blowing me away. I've been reading for twenty years and I find you now. Thank you so very much ❤️. Ever since I started reading Lenormand.... Marsailles has been calling me. I'm diving in.....
Thank you so much. What you say makes so much sense. I recently ordered a tarot deck, looking at a number of them, and I was drawn to the Marseille deck so that is what I chose.
This is so helpful! I want to learn how to read intuitively from my own perspective and I have never known about this. Until this morning, I am putting all my other decks aside and starting from scratch! This is so helpful to learn the basic fundamentals!
My first deck of cards (Marseille) at 15 years old - 33 years ago and my readings for others are on point. I decided to start reading for the public a few months ago. I found it easier to approach a situation for an individual with the cards (especially at pubs in Germany). As a psychic medium, I don't really need to use the cards, but some people will not feel comfortable with you telling them that a spirit is stepping forth with information or understand that you just "know" things that are very private. Btw, your books rock! I have recommended them to many friends to learn what I have a hard time teaching because it comes naturally with me. Waiting for your last book to come out on the market. Sending you many blessings and thanks for all you do. Blessed Be! 😊❤🙏 My favorites: Grimaud, JJ Swiss, Aquarian, Aleister Crowley's Thoth, Morgan-Greer, Marshmallow and the Arcana Tarot Playing Cards.
Hello Blume! Thank you for your kind words. From one reader to another I wanted to say it's nice to see others who are on the same level of experience as I am. You are an experienced psychic! I'm sure your readings are exceptional! Glad you like my books too. More will be out this year! Best to you - Vincent
To doing a reading this week, using the Waite deck, as I laid the cards out, the client interpreted the cards herself, based on the images, as she has consulted many Tarot readers. What she thought was a very negative reading, turned out a generally positive reading, based on the numerical value.
This was really nice to confirm the way I've been reading. I love any deck to decipher new things and try and give a similar sense no matter what. Some people dislike pip decks but I love them, they're so concise and straight to the point. I love variations of a Rider deck for the artwork too or variations of a Thoth deck which are a bit more complex but in the end you can work with the basic numerology and Major Arcana archetypes and move swiftly from there. Tarot is such a blessing in my life and I love people who give us insight in such a simple and direct way.
I agree that Marseilles based decks are the way to go. I see learning with the Rider-Waite as learning with the blinkers on. The interpretations are not wrong, but it is limited. Pips broaden the meanings.
Very informative videos. I have many decks due to the lovely artwork. But I came across the last deck of TDM today and after watching this I feel it would be best to learn on as you have said. Makes sense. Thank u
I stumbled across this and Im so glad I did, as a literal beginner from April 18 I found I didn't want the RWS interpretations, so I stripped back to Marseille and this was so interesting to assimilate in what I am learning. I shall now go and see what else you have to help my studies thank you G
You are absolutely right! I've been watching your videos; I have your deck and a couple of your books. I was afraid of TdM, but it makes so much more sense to me. I love your beginner keywords. Now I use TdM and RWS together in the same reading. If asked, I'm recommending starting with TdM, or both together.
Many thanks for this video! I am relatively new to tarot and recently felt a sudden pull toward the Tarot de Marseille. I got the CBD Marseille deck only yesterday and am reading Yoav Ben-Dov's book. Cannot quite explain why yet, but I love the deck and can tell that it's going to teach me a lot!
Thanks you. Just got my first Marseille deck and looking forward to using it. First reading I did for myself felt good. Struggled with some aspects of RWS, although been using it for many years but as you say it can be restrictive with the images of the minor arcana, especially the suit of swords. Thanks for your knowledge 😃
I can relate! Once you start using it, it really sticks with you. Congrats on making that choice! I feel it will open up a wide range of insight into your readings as you go along. There's just something about that deck! Best-Vincent
Hi Vincent. I love pip decks, especially the Ancient Italian. Also Dead on Paper have re-released the Arcana playing cards Tarot deck at long last. Ordered two, got to have a back up. I’ve just discovered your channel, amazing hey!, and really liking your words of wisdom. Gotta go, lots more of your vids to watch 😊
Awesome video and information. I will look into your book. Thank you so much for sharing!! I agree, the RWS can be too specific -- we get locked into these very specific meanings that may not be helpful for problem solving. Marseilles is more practical for taking personal responsibility.
Vincent, you make a great deal of sense with your application/portrayal of Tarot at the level of advice given to clients in the most helpful way. As a reader I had my world turned around by Ly de Angeles with her book "Tarot Theory & Practice" which changed my perception. The difference between yourself and other Tarot readers is you direct the client themselves to each step of the way, without complex issues of external factors, other people, various scenarios that might or might not happen, you keep it fixed to the individual and their own personal progress, this has given me the answers that I felt inside that things were still not right. I have already bought your book "Genius of the Tarot" and started to take these teachings in. I am very much into numerology, and also study what pairs mean, three of, four of, etc this holds in value for the Major Arcana also....two Aces, for instance, a change of place and a change of pace I personally could not get on with the Rider-Waite deck, but the Thoth deck taught me Astrological aspects/interpretations to the table It was also very interesting to note the particular Moon Phase for the client's visit, this I found very useful. I have also ordered the Marseille deck. I have been very impressed by your approach to the Tarot, your practical easy deliverance of your videos. I thank you for your time and expertise. Regards-John
Hello John, Thanks for your words. I'm glad you like my approach and I feel you will do well with the cards. Your comments make me think that you think deeply and seriously about this. You pick up things that many don't see at first. Your eyes are open and you see more than most! It has been fun to share my knowledge now that I am at this point with the cards. Have fun on your Tarot journey and thank you for making me a part of it. Best to you - Vincent
I think this is a game changing video for me so thank you. I have been reading professionally since start of the year and have used many different decks but over the last couple of months, I seem to have moved to a more traditional approach and sold off loads of decks. I had been drawn to the Marseille deck but was wary of using it as I thought the pip cards would be prescriptive - this video has turned that thinking on its head and I now see how it opens up the possibilities for wider interpretations. Thanks again
Rectified I always thought it was because he put Strength at eight and Justice at eleven. Watching your old vids. I agree, the Marseille system can open me up more. And I love it when I start to SEE the symbolism they represent without "adding" suit plus number
Visconti Sforza tarrochi cards predate all decks A beautiful set which I’ve had the pleasure of handling I also own the marseille deck from the 70s My favourite is the Crowley deck because of the incredible artwork plus the inclusion of astrology & Qabala & alchemy. Along with the tarot these are the 4 branches of magick
Glad to come across your video! I started out learning the RWS system but has been fascinated with the TdM as well. The latter is also not much popular in my place. I bought Kris Hadar's and CBD's decks and am planning to study soon. Would want to get your books as well.
hola gracias Dr., lanzador de hechizos de Marcus que pudo ayudarme a lanzar un hechizo para traerlo de vuelta a mi ex, mándale un mensaje ahora en whatsapp +13094666783🙃..
Before the Marseilles pack, there was the Visconti Sforza pack, the Charles VI pack, the Tarocchi of Mantegna (which although not Tarot, has some of the same cards), & a number of others, I believe that the earliest artists actually knew what the images symbolised, whilst a lot of the later artists, copied from the earlier decks & didn't necessarily know what they meant in detail, & left out little details that add immeasurably to it's understanding, for instance the Fool (Marseille) symbolises a card "He's a Card!", in that it has a face & a backside, the person in it is Diogenes, the Cynic (look at Misero) in the Mantegna pack, the stick separates the face from the dog attacking his rear below, symbolising adiafora or "indifference to the vicissitudes of life" & he is part of a pack, the plural of dogs, his life was changed by a visit to the Delphic oracle "Know Thyself". What do you think the "Wing", under her seat means in the Marseille Empress? Who are the two boys in the Marseilles Sun card?
This is why I prefer the pips. It's also why I like Thoth. Because when you have a picture it is only one expression of what's supposed to be a very abstract concept. Like in the Golden Dawn tradition lets say 10 of Chalices is Mars in Pisces. Mars in Pisces is just one idea but how that applies in reality can vary, but it will always connect to that idea of Mars in Pisces. If we try to draw a scene that exemplifies the idea, what that results in is a novice seeing the idea as this scene itself. It can be distracting at times, but helpful in others. Essentially, it's like what Crowley says about how "manifestation implies illusion" where any attempt to depict something with anything other than the thing itself will inherently be imperfect. That said, a drawing is trying too hard, and doing so much that it confuses the idea at times. Not to shit on the RWS, I use the deck at times, and you can definitely use it. But I have to say I prefer things like Thoth or Marseille, because I can see more of the abstract. Like Thoth uses colors and tones and the suit symbols themselves to get the idea across in a much less restrictive way. And then Marseille has just a few little pictures like the box on 4 of Coins, or the different flowers and whatnot. It's abstract just like the idea itself
Vincent, I have many Marseille Deck but was only using the Major Arcana, you really inspired me to use them all. When you got 2 Eighths on a Reading, on Position #6,9 what those two-Eighths represents together beside advancement? Thanks
I recently discovered your channel and I am fascinated. My interest in tarot started when I was 11/12 yrs old. I had my first reading around that age without my parents knowing it. I am 40 now and started two years ago learning and studying tarot. I have only used RW decks. Do you think I can learn Marseille since I started with RW? Have you written a book about Marseille since you did this video 3yrs ago? Keep doing videos please🙏🏼Take care! What is your website? Thxs
Hi Vence, Just came to this video and it answered the question I asked on a different video. Yesterday was my first introduction to your work in “Genius of the Tarot breaking open the Mystery “ Theosophy Society. I have been viewing your own You Tube videos. Do you have another means of contact available, to reach you. Thank you,
Yes Jim. Here are the links to both Major and Minor Arcana meanings. Minor Arcana Link: czcams.com/video/qeLy2KNi_WA/video.html Major Arcana Link: czcams.com/video/Cj10aY8vJTY/video.html Enjoy!!
So in a reading, why wouldn't you think of the suit? Using the Marseille deck, let's say you are picking a card for a certain position and 2 cards fall out so you assign both cards to that position. And if they were two of the same number, 5 for instance, wouldn't you consider the suits to elaborate their meaning?
Are the things you are saying at this video included in your books?? I really like your approach... At the moment i follow papus approach which is included at the bohemian tarot..The differnce is that he gives an extra colour to the different suits eg swords=hate or struggle.
Hello pythagorelos07, I would say my approach and my attitude are shown in my books, yes. Specifically, I'm not sure what things you are asking being covered. I would say Papus is difficult to follow for today's reader and I feel my work would make things a lot clearer. I am known for making things clearer. This video does go over what is in my books as far as the cards I use. Hope this helps in some way. Thanks for watching my channel! Best to you - Vincent
I see your point - thanx! I was given an LJJ Swiss tarot deck, (similar to the Marseille), and your explanation has given me incentive to use it. BTW: What other numbers, (other than the fives/Change), do you think the Waite deck limits interpretations/are negative.
Hi Gary, thanks for your comments! As far as the number interpretations go, The Three, Eight, Nine and Ten of Swords negative images always seem to throw a curve ball into my students thinking. Those cards can mean wonderful things. Have fun and thanks for watching my channel! Best to you - Vincent
@@VPitisci Yes I can see students getting hung-up on the negativity - omitting positive interpretations. Your words helped me make these lyrics: Imagery can steer you wrong Scared to step in case you fall Misled - thinking you’re strong Intuition can breach the wall I've written over 660 songs, here's some recent ones: www.flickr.com/photos/13605380@N05/albums/72157710038978841
So in your book "the essential tarot" you refer to the minor arcana in the way you refer to it in this video??? I really loved the video. I have watched it many times. I am in love with the marseilles decks
Hello pythagoreios07, In Essential Tarot I define each of the Minor Arcana separately. In this video I group them by numerical value. Essential Tarot has all 78 cards defined individually. I use the Rider Waite deck in Essential Tarot. Not the Tarot of Marseilles. Hope this helps! Thanks for asking! Vincent
I was disappointed when I saw that your book used the RWS as the card illustrations. Especially in light of how you teach Tarot with the Marseille deck. Thanks for this video. So clear and helpful. Anne
Hello Anne, sorry to disappoint you. Yes, I teach mostly with the RWS deck because of it's popularity. But as you go through my book you will find that the deck is not what is important. The application is what's key. Hope this helps and I truly do hope you still enjoy my book. thanks for watching my channel! Best to you - Vincent
@@VPitisci Oh, of course. I'm getting so much out of your book and videos. I was looking at a few of the majors in your book this morning and I see what you mean. All the best to you, Anne
Very helpful - thank you. I have been drawn to this deck, I will order your book today. Any advice for a beginner making their first steps on the path? All the best
Hello Jada, I just watched a TedX talk done by Caroline Adams. I never heard of you before. The talk was great! She is a really good inspirational speaker! Thank you for asking. Best to you, Vincent

What do you think the "Wing", under her seat means in the Marseille Empress?

Essentially, it's like what Crowley says about how "manifestation implies illusion" where any attempt to depict something with anything other than the thing itself will inherently be imperfect. That said, a drawing is trying too hard, and doing so much that it confuses the idea at times. Not to shit on the RWS, I use the deck at times, and you can definitely use it. But I have to say I prefer things like Thoth or Marseille, because I can see more of the abstract. Like Thoth uses colors and tones and the suit symbols themselves to get the idea across in a much less restrictive way. And then Marseille has just a few little pictures like the box on 4 of Coins, or the different flowers and whatnot. It's abstract just like the idea itself

Hi Gary, thanks for your comments! As far as the number interpretations go, The Three, Eight, Nine and Ten of Swords negative images always seem to throw a curve ball into my students thinking. Those cards can mean wonderful things. Have fun and thanks for watching my channel! Best to you - Vincent
@@VPitisci Yes I can see students getting hung-up on the negativity - omitting positive interpretations. Your words helped me make these lyrics:
Imagery can steer you wrong
Scared to step in case you fall
Misled - thinking you’re strong
Intuition can breach the wall

So in your book "the essential tarot" you refer to the minor arcana in the way you refer to it in this video??? I really loved the video. I have watched it many times. I am in love with the marseilles decks
Hello pythagoreios07, In Essential Tarot I define each of the Minor Arcana separately. In this video I group them by numerical value. Essential Tarot has all 78 cards defined individually. I use the Rider Waite deck in Essential Tarot. Not the Tarot of Marseilles. Hope this helps! Thanks for asking! Vincent
Radical Tarot has them grouped by numerical value similar to this video.
Marseilles deck tells me everything
Yes a good solid choice! Thanks for watching!
I was disappointed when I saw that your book used the RWS as the card illustrations. Especially in light of how you teach Tarot with the Marseille deck. Thanks for this video. So clear and helpful. Anne
Hello Anne, sorry to disappoint you. Yes, I teach mostly with the RWS deck because of it's popularity. But as you go through my book you will find that the deck is not what is important. The application is what's key. Hope this helps and I truly do hope you still enjoy my book. thanks for watching my channel! Best to you - Vincent
@@VPitisci Oh, of course. I'm getting so much out of your book and videos. I was looking at a few of the majors in your book this morning and I see what you mean. All the best to you, Anne
Is there a list of themes for the pip cards? Ex: 5 = change, 3 = ??

One more thing! Do you allow your intuition to inform your readings?
Waite and Crowley butchered the true meaning of Tarot.
