Diamonds are often fire. Dont agree bc suits olaying cards and tarot is not to compare! Diffrent logic.

Thank you! The deck is my self-published deck, The Orbifold Tarot. Most of my channel features this deck ☺️

@@MirrorsofConsciousness How much would it cost if you ship me the mini deck in India ? I am a Law Professor who also happen to teach Tarot since 2003, having bunch of some 3000 students to learn Tarot.

@@MirrorsofConsciousness I am curious in your deck, being at Merseille side myself...I really feel that I may recommend it to my students and also at seminars I visit to present. I can see pips behaving as mandalas and knights are red and easy to spot, you might be following Elemental Deck kind of pattern, else it could also have been air. Both are alright as per me. 😃

Hi there, so glad you enjoyed the video & that you have started your TdM journey! I am still taking a break from producing TdM lessons, but one day I will return to them. Most of the info and exercises in my existing videos is still useful & relevant though! They will get you started, and then it’s a process of finding your own ways to work through practice ☺️

Thanks! I’m so glad you found it helpful!

I think that’s the Mary Packard, based on the Madenie. The Packard decks are nice (there’s also a Visconti-Sforza) but they are quite big - which makes them great for teaching & videos, but perhaps not as practical for readings. There’s another version of the Madenie by Yves Renaud, which is a more “normal” size, but visually I prefer the Packard even though the Renaud is probably more accurate 😆

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying :) Any of the Marseille decks I used in this video are great for you, I like the Madienie or the Robledo for a more traditional style pip deck, but there are also good versions of the Burdel that are fun. My go-to Marseille currently is the Robledo because it is "new" in the sense that it is a new interpretation, fresh and clean, but it feels "old" because the backgrounds are an aged/tan color (not stark white) and it is faithful to traditional decks. That said, I have not looked at what is currently available in Marseille-land for the past 2 years or so, so there may be some newer offerings that may suit your needs as well.

Thank you so much! There is so much to be seen in those simple cards, and even just skimming the surface can give lots of information when you look in certain ways ;) I have been taking a break from videos, but I do hope to return with some new ones. Thank you for the encouragement!

I think these are the Bicycle 1800 vintage cards from Ellusionist. There's also a 1900 series (maybe 1800 was a typo? But mine are 1800) Another nice vintage-ey deck is the Bicycle Vintage Classic, which have a different back and have more age-effects (they look "dirtier")

@@MirrorsofConsciousness thank you! Greatly appreciate it

Hi there! Thanks for the compliment :) Yes, it's available in mini (bridge size) and standard tarot size at orbifoldtarot.com So glad you like the deck!

I believe I wrote something about the Court Cards on my blog, mirrorsofconsciousness.com :)

True, but then there's also the European systems that look at Spades as leaves, which gives an entirely different (and much softer) meaning again. Spades, pikes, spears, etc, often share dual-use or similar development as both weapons and farming implements not only in Europe but also in Asian cultures, so I have no difficulty reconciling that in my reading practice. Even with swords, not all swords are used as weapons - they can be heirlooms, awards, rank signifiers, ceremonial objects, etc, with a wider range of meaning than just "to cause harm by cutting and stabbing" even if that's their fundamental function. To me what's more important than what is the "right" way to view any aspect of card reading is more what makes sense for the reader. Some readers prefer more rigid rules of interpretation, while others prefer a more fluid framework - and there's validity to both and the reasons behind each. But, it's pretty easy to find rigid forms so I Iike to (at least try) to explore alternatives :)

Thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying my work! Yes please share my videos as much as you like :)
