The Twos: Tarot Card Meanings
ฝัง

- This is Video 2 out of 17 in an educational series on the tarot cards. I had intended on calling the series “Learn the Tarot Card by Card,” but a tarot colleague did not like how similar it was to her own card meanings project, “Tarot Card by Card.” Out of respect for her, I’ve changed the series title to “Tarot Card Meanings with Benebell.”
Closed captioning is provided for all videos in this series.
Four different systems of the tarot will be showcased: the Tarot de Marseilles (TdM), the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS), the Thoth, and my own self-published deck, the Spirit Keeper’s Tarot (SKT).

I cant believe this series doesn't have more likes. Thank you so much for providing us with so much free content. It may be promotional, but its far beyond what most people do to promote their work. You really go above and beyond, and are so organized as well.
Love your interpretation of the RWS Two of Swords reversed -- "yield, so that you may pass." I've never heard it explained way and man does it resonate!
This series is enlightening 🙏🏻 and the comparison between systems is brilliant. Thanks for sharing your wisdom so generously!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is such incredible knowledge!
Love the way you present the cards/keys and the way you visually focus our eyes, attention and understanding!
I have been learning tarot for a little over a year and I have come to a place of being stuck so I recently found your channel after researching tarot books and I am awaiting your Holistic Tarot book and am so excited for it to arrive. I have only heard good reviews. Thank you for your teachings. I already want to order your deck as well
Thank you Dear great work!! The most complete content l’ be seen so far!🌹🌹
By pointing out the idea of animism (each key of the tarot being alive with a spirit) in the Thoth tarot, I anticipate that I can bring the imagery to life a bit more, since I am now dealing with the energy of the Lord of Dominion, etc! Also, I appreciated the SKT 2 of Cups reversed explanation being a pouring forth of love to fulfill the needs of another. Finally, the metaphor of seed & sprout was great in understanding the role of the Aces & twos in tarot. Well done!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you, this is beautiful work in translation of the imagery ❤
Loving this series. Thanks for your hard work!
I just found you and I can’t believe I missed your tarot cards 😢😢
Great work!! The most complete content I’ve seen so far!
A very well made video. I really enjoyed it.
So enjoying all your videos. Going to start with your book again at the beginning and go through it as a full course. THANK YOU for the amazing work and all the effort you have put into it all!!
I recently was reading for a friend and the 2 of wands popped up. I shared how he was about to have new developments in his relationships and I love how you worded it "new surprises". thank you for sharing your perspective on all of the cards.
Benebell, you are simply amazing, beyond compare! 💕I’ve been following you a while but have never commented (but felt called to after your bell chimes in #40 video). Thank you so much for this thorough, life enriching content, I am so grateful for it 🙏🏻 Looking forward to this series 💖 Thank you for all your work!
Thank you so much! 🥰😍
Doesn't matter what I think I know...I always learn something new from you. Thank you so much for this.
Your videos are so awesome
Nope it actually appropriate to keep communication clear concise without confusion.
Lest problems are created via incorrect comprehension by the student.
Basics darlings are essential.
Keep your minds pure.
It hurts my brain even trying to begin to comprehend how so much knowledge is connected and interwoven together. The historical contexts, cultural, religious, philosophical, psychological....what kind of venn diagram you using?! 😂😅 I have long been casually interested in divinatory practices, perhaps some 30 years or so, but only these last 3 years (maybe triggered by Covid), have I started to learn beyond the superficial. It's a been a struggle at times as the 'woo-woo' aspect is not for me (blame Aquarian placements), yet, divination as a study and practice still resonates with me very much (blame Pisces placements). I'm grateful to you Benebell, to be able to put a 'label' to it all as such, in the word 'analytics'; my inner turmoil, is quelled! 😁👍
Likewise I'm so glad to make this connection! May your journeying be productive, prosperous, and fulfilling. 💕
I won't say I've been reading tarot "the wrong way" but I was definitely taken aback by the meanings of pentacles and swords. O.O Going to look at them very differently from now on.
You're amazing😍
Thank you for your professional take on tarot. 💚💛
Vodou blessings from Maman Brigitte and the 6% Nation ☘️🐞
Thank you.
was entirely unprepared for the Thoth two of swords bonus meaning 😂😂😂
I'll be reading Dark Night of the Soul by Thomas Moore here soon.
OMG. that is absolutely ridiculous she wanted you to change the name...... smh
awww.. it's all right. I trust that people have their reasons for what they do and what they value.
maybe it was more based on search return results... hmm. either way, glad I found your channel!
no owns anything pertaining to tarot. only a narcissist would say something like that. I do not wanna watch not one of that persons videos and I hear it I will just block that person off my list. so for that the person just gained you a loyal subscriber........ME! YOUR VIDEOS ARE GREAT I CAN SEE WHY SOMEONE COULD BE JEALOUS YOUR VIDEOS ARE ON POINT !
Tysm
How can I get a “Spirit Keeper’s Deck”? 💛
my tarot hero benebell back at it again with the powerful in-depth explanations that have more substance than "two cups=luv becuase wawter=em0tions" :') i cri every time
This made me chuckle
So true
tHANKS!I been watching these videos and no one compares to you on youtube. Some I can not even get through the video they are so dry and stale
wow im sorry that your friend became angry by such a general phrase. SO PETTY!
wait a minute! What happens when the 2 of wands in Thoth are reversed?
The Thoth tarot is not read using reversals. I mean, you CAN, but that wasn't Crowley's intention with this deck.
Looking at Upside down cards always makes messes with my mind, makes me feel dizzy
Haha, I've noticed many artists, intuitives, empaths, and creatives feel that way. So you are in very good company. =)
Benebell Wen oh! I find that when I use reversals, I become less intuitive and more left brained as I start to think: does it mean this is blocked, opposite, or ...
Benebell, how many languages do you know, speak?
Not enough! I wish I had been more diligent with my studies into language arts as kid!
Benebell Wen not enough? 🤣🤣 you’re being too humble in your answer. Come on. How many? 10?
sounds like she is jealous,, bring out your evil eye
tarot card by card, seriously.........? whatever.
