In the early 90s, I learned Tarot with the Golden Dawn deck and had a totally unrelated to that deck book that taught how to develop one's own numerology and elemental associations and combine them with whatever is visible on the card (a book I, unfortunately, don't know the title or author anymore....but maybe Tom Benjamin's book Tarot on earth goes a bit along those lines). I can read any "system" with that base, including the Thoth, but if I feel like studying, I can always just choose one layer and add that. Last fall I dedicated myself to exploring Malkuth and also had a sneak peek into just the lower triangle of the Tree of Life. This fall, however, I'll not add layers, instead, I want to establish some ancestral work, so I chose some decks and items I want to use for that, and I've been collecting spreads and activities. First few weeks, I'll just play around and see what I like best, what speaks to me, what has a positive impact on me, and also do a lot of research...and then from mid or end of October, I'll decide on 1 small "practice" I want to do regularly, maybe weekly, or according to the moon phases, or whatever seems realistic to me then, and I aspire it to become a longterm part of my practice.
@@khan7459 Thanks for sharing a bit of your tarot reading and studying journey. I love that idea of adding layers for study in some years. What you’re working on now, the ancestral work, sounds fascinating. I think collecting those spreads and activities would be really good for practice and digging into those decks and items for that. It’s that long-term studying and always learning that makes me love tarot so much. Thanks for watching, commenting, and sharing. I haven’t read Tom Benjamin’s book, so I’ll find it. Thank you. I can’t think for the life of me which book I used (and referred to in the video) that told me to put away the tarot and use playing cards. I gave it to a friend, and lost touch with them. The problem with finding it now is a lot of books from the 2000s are paperbacks with a picture of a tarot card in the front, so not helpful in trying to find it again! 😂 I hope your work goes well this fall, and would love to hear how it’s going. Thank you.
Ooh, cool, what are you studying? You mentioned the almanac book (name of it escapes me at the moment), and I’m eager to hear what you think of it. Yes, I would like to get some in-depth numerology into the pip study as well, and even how it extends beyond tarot. I just saw you have a new video. I have it saved to watch tonight, yay!!
