Meeting The Marseille

[@lilpinkbear]

Hi Candy, lovely to see you have a look at Marseille...careful though, the bug might bite you and you'll be hooked! ;) I'm almost exclusively a Marseille/Pip deck reader these days. I can highly recommend Caitlin Matthews' book 'Untold Tarot' if you want a short easy read that will help you dive in right away. Tom Benjamin's workbook 'Tarot on Earth' is brilliant for hands on exercises and experience. Or if you prefer audio/visual learning, he also has an excellent Marseille course on The Tarot Reader's Academy. Have a look into what Enrique Enriques calls 'eye rhymes', his documentary 'Tarology' is still available on Amazon Prime and is well worth a watch. I read with these style decks freestyle most of the time (which is apparently more traditional but also seems to work well for Marseille). Some will supplant RWS meanings onto pip decks but I read them differently. It's all personal taste as always. Happy Marseille studying! x

Ahh what a brilliantly helpful comment Kelly you are a darling thank you! I recently got Tom Benjamin’s book so that’s sitting on my bookshelf. I’m going to check out everything else now too. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@lilpinkbear]

You are most welcome. 😘

You won't believe it Candy- but I have this deck! This is the only truly Marseilles deck that I own. It is so much more interesting after finding out about the directionality of the foliage. The 10 of Cups being about leadership made so much sense! Thank you for mentioning the calendar💜😊

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Amy synchronicities again!! I’m so pleased to find you Amy I’m loving the calendar ❤️

This is one of my favourite Marseille style decks - the colours are gorgeous! If you get into TdM, I highly recommend a class with Camellia Elias or Enrique Enriquez - a real game changer, that brought this system to life. 💜🌟

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Ooo that’s brilliant to know thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@LennanSmith]

Oh, got the Marseille bug! 🤣 This deck of yours looks lovely. I only have 2 Marseille decks but I love the system. We may have to make some vids with our impressions and thoughts. 🤔🤗😘

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Ooo I think we will have to do just that.❤️❤️

I agree !! I'm also new to Marseille... Bearly Balanced Tarot hosts a zoom Marseille meet on Sat's. I plan to join one day. I have also got the Tarot on Earth book by our lovely Tom Benjamin. I just need some co study pals!!!

[@Jo_-_-t.a]

Oh and a Camilia Elias and a Caitlin Matthews book on Marseille as well.... getting ready for a deep dive!!

[@tarotfortheheathens9556]

Great review! I was curious about this book and your review helped me to know that I want that for my studies...AND now I have to buy that deck too because it's beautiful!!! Thank you!

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Isn’t it and the best thing is it’s not very expensive. Hope you love them both

[@tarotfortheheathens9556]

@@CandySoulAndSoil I just ordered the book! I'm not a fan of the colors and faces in the CBD so I will be ordering the Spanish Tarot soon and have the Jodorowsky Tarot coming. That's a deck with all sorts of interesting details hidden within the art. Can't wait!

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

@@tarotfortheheathens9556 lizz that sounds exciting. I’ve just found your channel and Rambo 🥰🥰🥰

[@tarotfortheheathens9556]

@@CandySoulAndSoil thanks Candy! I'm still new at this and just trying to find the time with my family (and puppy) at home. 🥰 Tarot is a passion for sure!!! BTW, I loved your last tag! How fun!

[@inspirationspsychology]

Such a lovely Marseille 😍😘🥰

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

I think so too Jen I loved it way more than I expected ❤️❤️

[@inspirationspsychology]

@@CandySoulAndSoil yes the blues in it are just stunning. Might have to add this one to the Wishlist 🤣

I think with the hanged man those " fingers " hanging down were actually epaulettes ( because he was a soldier ) and his hands were tied behind his back, but whoever redrew the image mistook them for fingers & hands.

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

No way Paul thank you for that that’s amazing to know 😊

[@Ejcfarley]

Ooooh yes so about death someone wrote on Amy’s vid that it was thought to be due to the fear around death (maybe due to the church) but also during the time of plagues and illnesses etc and people didn’t want to call on death. In case you haven’t seen the comment yet. I love this tag. I would like to learn the system too. Would love to hear how you get on lovely 💓 Xxx

[@ElementalCartomancy]

This was an amazing video Candy I loved all of it :). We are doing a marseille study group on zoom every Saturday you would be so welcome to join :) xx

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Emily I’ve just seen it.... I hadn’t when I made the video so more synchronicities. Did you see the comment underneath about the body parts in the death card and the severed foot being the foot of the hanged man! 😮

[@CandySoulAndSoil]

Ahh thank you Chris. I’d love to join kids allowing . 🤗

[@Ejcfarley]

@@CandySoulAndSoil I did yes, later on - soooo fascinating! Xx

[@ElementalCartomancy]
