How to Read the Thoth Tarot: Full Class

[@chelseafrattura7742]

You are a GEM for providing accessible information for free about all this stuff! Your wisdom and personality is magnetic, thanks so much for this 💓

[@JoeMonteleone]

Thank you so much!

[@brianvolpe3242]

Crowley was a mad genius!! My opinion is all roads, ultimately, lead back to "source" and whatever road gives you those "goosebumps" that's the sign of your path!! I just started diving into tarot so this was super helpful my friend, peace profound!!

[@JoeMonteleone]

This is so beautifully said. Follow the goosebumps! I love it.

[@Paddrique]

The most beautiful deck in my opinion so timeless, looks old and futuristic at the same time. Thanks for teaching for free 🙏🏻

[@JoeMonteleone]

It does look old and futuristic at the same time! Well said. Thanks for watching!

[@fabiane7399]

It's almost March, 2023 and I'm so grateful for finding you now! I have a wonderful Thoth deck bought in England 10 years ago and it has the 3 magicians. Only last year, I started to feel an urgency to finally learning to read it. Also I am drawn to the Smith-Waite tarot deck. I'm Brazilian by the way :-) Much love💗

[@BonnieHarwood-zb2xj]

I was contemplating my life and had realization ive been drawn to mystical, occult,divination,etc my entire life. universe had been dropping hints and guiding me the whole way, just took me hot minute to notice. im so blessed I finally did!! I want to thank you for helping me SO much along my way. I just love the way you explain, help me to find my way. you are and always be a most appreciated an cherished guide along my tarot journey and beyond. thank you

[@JoeMonteleone]

I'm so glad! Thank you for sharing :)

[@MicheleAnnTarot]

Love how you explain the court cards. Actually, you explain everything so well. Thoth is mega, you make it seem tangible.

[@JoeMonteleone]

Aw thanks!! That’s exactly my goal!! The symbols and concepts are very elaborate but the “truth” it is pointing to is accessible I believe :)

[@ashleyamory2951]

I just purchased this deck tonight while struggling to decide between tarot or self help book. Feeling so empowered for purchasing this deck already. It’s definitely more complex that Rider Waite but looking forward to learning more about this deck and spread. Thank you!

[@jmac7133]

I find Tarot to be my form of self help! My aunt gave me this deck when I was looking at her 3 decks, I asked if I could barrow this for a few months and she was like, no, but you can have it, but are you sure you want this deck? It’s complicated. I looked back thru the others and felt really drawn to this one. So this is my first deck and it’s my go to when someone wants a reading. I love the symbolism and use of vivid color. So good choice, this self help deck will always guide you when you turn to it!!

[@mandiebell-relationshipand7357]

Yay! I'm so happy for you. Congratulations 🎉 Tarot, for me, is a path that connects my earthly existence with the spieitual 🎉 That is part of the reason I love Joe's teachings. It is evident he has been on this path, in relation, with Tarot for a little while. 🔮

[@morrisnakes]

Saying most people won't understand it shouldn't be considered rude or elitist, that's just a reflection of ego. We should accept that most people just do not have the desire for occult knowledge that some of us do and that's okay! Those of us with that thirst for knowledge take a long time to fully unlock all the secrets.

[@JoeMonteleone]

This is a very good point actually. Every author and organizations varies. The deeper I dive into the occult, the more I understand that the nature of the material is not easily understood, and that’s, in some ways, the point. Part of my mo is to make it accessible, but my view change every week haha 😋

[@everettdufur6654]

Thank you so much, Mr. Monteleone. You are an immense inspiration for me, and the energy that your pour into each and every one of your videos radiates with enthusiasm and wisdom. Thank you! You've been an invaluable mentor to me, and I'm grateful that I can continue to develop my understanding of tarot under role models like you! I pray that you have a splendid rest of your week 😇

[@JoeMonteleone]

Wow thank you so much for the kind words Everett!! Let’s stay in touch 🙏❤️👽

[@gigidivine222]

Ive had this deck for 2 years and never used it yet. I'm happy to come across this video🙏🏼

[@s.l.wymansrockinwriting6633]

Thank you very much for this video. Love your energy. Will rewatch and print out guides when I get ready to study Thoth.

[@JoeMonteleone]

Thanks so much!!! 🙏❤️😘

[@manuelbelmanjodar]

@@JoeMonteleone 🌹 you are so welcome

[@donnabaron4660]

Thank you so much for giving this free, super informative course. I have used the Rider Wait Deck for years and decided to watch some videos about Crowley. Basically, from what I watched, he was evil and a genius at the same time. It made me uneasy about what kind of energy he put into his Tarot Deck so I got curious and did a search and poof! Just like MAGICK there you were! I'm really enjoying your video and had a great laugh when you said you forget your ideas and then when you remember it's like having the idea for the first time. I love that! I have liked and subscribed and looking forward to checking out your guide and other videos.

[@JoeMonteleone]

Aw yay! I'm glad we connected :)

[@rafaelludicanti2]

Thank you for the material and all the work and generosity.

[@BrianaMoore-en8zx]

Okay from your pleiadian space penguin comment to jailbreaking your reality...i'm hooked, your channel has been a refreshing re-entry into in a room I walked out of because I felt it too polluted by spiritual materialism, happy to have found this door, thanks for your works

[@TheWayfarerFamily]

This was really great man. I’m new to this, although I have been carrying a large pack of Thoth cards around with me for 15yrs. I always loved the idea of them and the art always captivated me. So, here I am. I have heard the call. IT IS TIME!!!

[@clarelantern]

I love seeing you loving Thoth deck and everything it has to offer.

[@IsNoGood4uM1kkel]

Wow im seeing this right now 🖤 The fact you see god as a woman was the nicest twist i have needed in like forever 🤟 I'm more a left hand pather but still thats nice i made me more acceptable of the history behind god

[@JoeMonteleone]

Aw yay!!! 🙏👽❤️

[@meanseanful]

Watching this a year to the day, at last I know, I have found the way.

[@msprkr2324]

I could listen to you talk all day 🤩

[@towardsthelight220]

I found Thoth really good for inner states with self and others.

[@Tarotismagic]

Synesthesia is a gift from God, honestly. You basically have a superpower. Fellow minor Synesthesia person here 👋

[@JoeMonteleone]

Oh very cool!

[@HoneyLouWilson]

I love Thoth! When I first started studying it and it clicked for me and I’m just like YASS! Thank you joe you are great!

[@JoeMonteleone]

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions :)

[@emmabird8086]

Thank you for this video and the wonderful guide. I'm delighted with it. :-)

[@JoeMonteleone]

Aw i'm glad :)

[@sonofsun432]

This is the first video with someone that actually knows what the f they are talking about Bravo 👏

[@JoeMonteleone]

Thank you! This means a lot 🙏❤️👽

[@jessicamishler8504]

I bought this deck at a yard sale last summer I've never read tarot before but I felt like I was drone to buy it

[@Maat213]

This was so good, Thoth has always been my favorite deck, even though it’s always intimidated me a bit. Definitely subscribed, you’re a great teacher , thank you.

[@JoeMonteleone]

Aw thanks! It's definitely a deck worth getting into. If it hasn't yet, the pieces will start to fit together. It's a beautiful system :)

[@dobyk5338]

Lovely presentation on the basics of the deck, thank you :) I'm interested in studying the Thoth deck, coming from years of using the Golden Dawn ritual tarot deck. I pretty much knew much of what you presented but it was nice to see the underlying Qabalistic principles are basically identical. However, just some feedback: the Knights as Kings is something coming from the Golden Dawn directly and while Crowley didn't name them as such they are effectively the Kings in the court cards. I know Kings are depicted seated upon a throne in Rider-Waite but ultimately the interpretation is completely different. The Kings/Knights depict the impulsive and mutable masculine force which impregnates the Queen, thus creating the Prince. This is the reason Princes ride in chariots: they combine the speed and mutability of the King (the horse) with the stability of the Queen (the throne), it's a throne in motion. Princes will never be as stable as the Queen nor as dynamic as the King/Knight, but they have qualities from both. So when talking about Thoth just ditch the Rider-Waite court system, it's better to compare to the traditional Golden Dawn Qabalistic symbolism.

[@HoneyLouWilson]

I love rider to but Thoth has deeper meaning and gives me what I’ve been searching for! Rider is the mind Thoth is the soul!

[@JoeMonteleone]

Well said!

[@ArthurXCorrea]

great work brother!

[@ParisTNT]

Thank you, Joe. Loved this class. Very informative, funny & deep. xx Paris

Thanks so much!! That means a lot :) more coming soon! 🙏❤️👽

[@aline-meyer]

He moves as if he were holding back the urge to pee. I love that if you're talking about Crowley's deck. To understand it you have to study Kabbalah, geomancy, astrology, religions, colour etc you have to move your own brain to find some clues.

[@GingeRenee]

Marseille deck was my first tarot i learned on. Lol love your deeper insight I have not found in my learning of tarot. I am very drawn to Kabbalah and that was one of my first rabbit holes I went down when I first awakened and is still a main interest of my many. Who are we kidding anyone going through a spiritual awakening has a lot of interests and are exploring many topics and routes at once. It’s like finally giving yourself permission to just be yourself! So fun after spending half of my life asleep.

[@GringaGringa123]

I was edging one of my decks and watching this video. Two fun synchronicities happened I thought were cool. When Joe is talking about the 6 of Cups I had JUST GRABBED the 6 of Cups to edge!!! I was like “Damn Joe ok!” Then when he gets to the Magus and how when we say “Bet” we saying “Word” you know? My FINAL CARD to edge was the Magician like lmaooo! Love you Joe.

[@JoeMonteleone]

I love these moments when the universe rhymes!

This helped me understand the courts. At first when I studied my Hermetic tarot, I was confused. I was like, is this incest or what going on with the King and Princess, lol. Great explanation.

[@mustardbadazz]

If I could learn anything about tarot it would be energy placement. I am one who feel shit right but the placement of the feeling during the read can be tricky

[@samxsara]

Amazing video 🔮💜

[@IsNoGood4uM1kkel]

Crowley was a legend in his own way 🤟 He had his path and he took it for as long he could hold on to it I respect him fully and alot of rumors about him is often misunderstood because alot of people took it literally and not metaphorical like i take it 🖤

Yesssss agreed!!!

[@JoeMonteleone]

Interesting hmmmmmm

[@kaylaa2204]

Hey so Time is and isn't the 4th dimension Time is often called the 4th dimension, but what they mean is it's the first chronological dimension, and this extends further to theoretical higher dimension of time, like imagine what 3D time might be like, it's near impossible to fathom There is a theoretical 4th *spacial dimension* and that is different

[@TheArcherSoul]

Watching this now and it says this video has 777 views. 🤣

[@socialalchmey9875]

Very interested in working with Thoth. The emerald tablets seem so daunting I’m lucky to have found Ben Carson but I would love to know more from your perspective

[@JoeMonteleone]

I don't know about Ben Carson. The thoth deck is Aleister Crowley's interpretation of what might be considered the "book of thoth", the sacred book given to humans by Thoth. I don't interpret it literally, but I do see it metaphorically. The tarot is an illustration of a somewhat-shared mystical philosophy underlying most religions, philosophies, and teachings, or at least it can be.

[@snowhusk]

1:01:04 I once had a weird thought that went something like "I feel as if time is 3.5-3.7", what do you think?

[@jmac7133]

What I would like to know about Tarot! Reading card combos! And I know that is a complicated thing to teach! So… I love your energy! Thanks for teaching!

[@TBird770]

Cream cheese and hot sauce! I am enlightened!

[@ZiaLinkZen]

Joe, I just watched your once-LIVE class over the weekend (3.13.2022.) You are truly delightful, and such a surprise since I felt some trepidation about Thoth (aka Crowley.) You make it so accessible and interesting. I have a looooong history with Tarot -- truly over 50 years. I convinced my mom to buy me a Rider-Waite deck when I was 12. I've run hot & cold with Tarot since then, but have accumulated a large drawer of decks, books, journals and glad I've kept them. The new smaller Thoth deck was one of the last decks I bought (maybe 10 yrs ago.) I also have the Book of Thoth (Weiser ed.) and a small booklet called Tarot Divination by Crowley (an excerpt of his larger Equinox volumes.) Even tho I've loved the art of the cards, I've felt "anxious" about using them. NOW I'm very intrigued. I have your handout and the DuQuette book on my Kindle "paper white" easy on the eyes reader (so I can study at night) and have watched two of your shorter videos, as well. FANTASTIC! I thought you'd enjoy a post here, rather than email response. I'll keep you posted on my progress and possible classes. 😇 Thank you!

[@AqueminiTarot]

Very nice tysm :)

[@urbanwitchh]

Bless you 💖

[@sagesoultarot9713]

Where would one start with Kabbalah in tarot? Any good book or resources you recommend

[@JoeMonteleone]

My start was with Tarot and the Tree of Life by Isabel Kliegma. The Chicken Qabalah by Duquette helped me a lot too in the beginning. I also have some youtube videos on it. Here is a reading list for books though: www.tarotmysticismacademy.com/readinglist

[@dickhandler8464]

You have an ace up your sleeve! Ha ha!

[@DistressedCrab]

Can I ask for an episode on those space penguins

[@rafaelludicanti2]

Good evening. How are you, professor?

[@juliemcdonald1245]

The tens are a sweet spot. The pause after inhaling a breath before the exhale. I liken it to a period where your cup is full and manifestation, healing, revelation, are all readily achievable without much energetic effort. Your cup is full and now is the time to take that pause and enjoy the power. When a woman gives birth, she doesn't ovulate again for 45 - 90 days: closer to 90 if she breastfeeds or pours from her cup per se. She has conceived, created and manifested and can rest with the fruits of her labor. So, when you are experiencing ten energy it is the time for sharing of your gifts and making offerings of gratitude to your familiars because the tree of life is not linear and you will elevate to another, higher cycle of the tree much like the tree adding rings through its own growth. The Buddhists call it Stupa, a clockwise rising spiral of growth. Like the breastfeeding mother, pouring from our cup and feeding others with what we've manifested prolongs that ten energy for just a bit longer before we begin another, higher evolution. Just my take on it. Cheers!

[@weekendsareforwitchery]

OK so I know this is a comment 2 years later but I am down the Rabbit Hole and the mention of Crowleys gardian Angel is Eihwaz or Ihwaz? I mean that is what it sounds like and totally approptiate!

[@JoeMonteleone]

I thought of that too, the connection to the rune

[@Nightwing92284]

just curious Joe, though I understand that both RWS and Thoth can be used for divination...what makes the RWS more used than thoth when it comes to divining?...is it more better for that type of reading?...perhaps what I wanted to know is the pros and cons of both cards when doing a reading...

[@JoeMonteleone]

Yes. RWS was made for tarot reading. The thoth deck was less so. That said, both can be used for reading. Here's a comparison: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4nJaYqdfrZrsNk
