Incredible, I've been looking for a mentor or guide of some sorts for my tarot journey, and somehow came across John Ballantrae's videos. I'm usually quite selective about how and who I learn from, and with John's videos I feel right at home and in the right direction. Thank you for the videos, John !! They mean a lot.
Thanks for your comment. I'm going to try a solution for comments and follow-ups. I am setting up a site where I can give (maybe longer) replies to Comments here and on FaceBook so additional information is in the same place and searchable. I am hoping to have it up and running in a couple of weeks and will mention it in videos.
This right here is a gold mine.. This tarot youtube channel is so unique, I wish everyone saw this. It's just about life and how to lead a decent one and be a decent person haha.. Love this so much
I think your sense of intuition and self awareness and honesty is something I deeply aspire to. It’s beautiful to hear someone say “I probably won’t read the comments, it’s not that I am rejecting you, it’s just that I am kind of lazy!”
@Angeliz Angeliz exactly! Kind of like Rumi poems, no matter how I'm feeling or what I'm in the mood for, I turn on a random TH-cam of his and it's exactly what I need to hear that day.
I love him so much. "Leave a comment, I probably won't respond. I'm not rejecting you, I'm just lazy." And in the last video I watched, he ended with something like "So yeah, that's it. See you next time..." I just appreciate that he doesn't mince his words, ya know?
Even though you may not read this, it’s lovely to see you back 🙏. I’m always torn between following the prescribed meanings of cards or going purely on my own intuition. I’ve settled on traditional meanings as a starting point, coupled with my own intuitive interpretation. It seems to work well but I do worry if that’s ok to do.
I have just come across John on youtube, he is absolutely spot on, i never learnt specific meanings for the Tarot , it is much easier to look at the "Symbolism" of the cards and interpret exactly what you see, the four of swords, she has her head in her hands, the card of "depression" .... i have a high rate of success by not following specific meanings and that way i feel one can engage more and easier with the client.
@@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978 I agree, I interpret the cards via the knowledge I’ve gained throughout my life and how the symbolism makes me feel because I believe the messages are coming in from my connection to the Devine. Therefore, the messages must make sense to me personally so that I may impart the Devine knowledge. John appears to also draw on knowledge he has gained throughout his life, books he’s read, interviews he has watched, songs he has heard and life experiences etc it is a creative process and not a scientific one, so the Devine speaks in a language only we, the individual reader, can understand 🙏 .....in my humble opinion 😉
So glad you are back. I can be lazy, too. My spirit guides tell me being “lazy” in the material world when, if fact, you are busy about many things may be a sign you are working hard in the non-material. Ever heard of night school? Your “process” sounds like expansive intuition. I love watching the TH-cam readers who lay out their cards so I may interpret them intuitively while hearing their wooden, formulaic interpretations. You are an excellent teacher, thank you. (If you read this!)
Been a while since we checked in, and kudos, man! you never fail to make us smile, even laugh heartily sometimes (as at 13:40 ). Jamaican fam here; always enjoy hearing your delightful accent and phrasings! Along w/appreciating your knowledge and insights on interpreting Tarot cards, we truly enjoy your being so charmingly candid, authentic and endearing. Also lovely hearing your story about how your new video series was inspired through a conversation w/your daughter. 👏🏾 Blessings to you and your dear family. ✨💖🌻
Hi John, I’ve recently just started reading Tarot and your videos have been not only highly informative but also so clear, engaging and inspirational. Thanks for coming back I was worried you had stopped posting!
Thanks for the video John! I swill say just before a reading May my client take the helpful messages and put them to action and discard any messages that are not helpful at this time! Cheers from Vancouver Island.
I just noticed this series tonight, a few hours after you posted episode 22. I held off watching that and started with this first part. I watched it twice already. I'm going to enjoy this series! Thank you for posting it.
Im learning how to read cards. I've always thought about it and finally started. I appreciate you posting things. I have never been a big money person. It is needed for things but it's not something I need nor want to see in the cards. I like the idea of not having to interrupt the cards for money.
I've been reading for 13yrs and really getting into your videos and I really appreciate your wisdom ty for sharing I feel like I'm always learning and this was wonderful ❤
just watching part one of your video really enjoyed it you give a good understanding of the cards i did not look at them in that way i have trouble with connecting with the cards i have been learning for 5 years i have learnt the meanings of the cards but the way you talk about the cards it gives me fresh ideas with the cards thank you MR ,JOHN BALLANTRAE georgina u.k.
🌈 Nice to see you back, Professor! Also, thank you for all your guidance! 🙇🏼♀️ Looking forward to Part Two. I love this quote from Vinnie Colaiuta: "You can't be everything. Nobody is everything. You just do what you do, and you try to do that as well as you can. And if somebody doesn't like it, too bad." ♣️♥️♠️♦️ Lots of love and appreciation from Portugal! 🇵🇹
Thanks for all the info; your videos are super entertaining, as always. And the cackle I had for your last comment was great. Have an amazing time, sir.
Tarot has been calling me and I’ve been looking to educate myself. What wonderful guidance for the beginner, and to apply to life in general. Thank you 🙏
I’ve recently taken up Tarot and found your video catalogue on here an absolute education and hugely thought provoking. I hope tomorrow You Tube will have enabled subtitles on this one so I can catch up. It really is lovely to see you again. 😊
We love you and appreciate your honesty - You can leave comments if you want but I'm probably not going to read them because I'm lazy. Most funniest and honest line ever. Xoxo
This was a awesome video thank you so much I needed to hear that "Don't wonder if it will work make it work" I love how you talk about the cards and explain things.
oh my, I had been thinking of how to say things lately-i had to write a letter to my best friend and it was one of those times when you write and then ball up the paper and throw it away and start over, repeat x 10 or 20 and it was interesting how it finally ended up and it was very important to convey my thoughts accurately. great process here and i can't wait for part two thank you very much.....
It's a pleasure to see that you have created a process that I can follow and review over and over again. I was worried about you for a while there. Good to see you. I have a pad and pen ready for notes, as I often do when listening to you. On to part 2.
i am from vietnam. I am learning English through learn meaning of tarot. So i found your chanel. and i really grateful. Thank you "my grandfather "

absolutely love this guy! Whether you read this or not, you have such a lovely brilliance about you
@Angeliz Angeliz exactly! Kind of like Rumi poems, no matter how I'm feeling or what I'm in the mood for, I turn on a random TH-cam of his and it's exactly what I need to hear that day.
Omg, yes! He's definitely my Rumi of modern times 😆

Hi John, this is Sumedh from India. Your videos are so insightful.. I have learnt a lot from them... Great to see you again and learn from you!🙏🏼

YESSS the process is just always almost always left out of learning how to read tarot cards. So much of it is “tarot card meanings”
Great teaching!Made me laugh!!...leave comments...I may not read them. I'm kind of Lazy!! Can't wait to watch more!
Welcome back. Nice to see you and looking fwd to enjoying this lessons
