practical magick: tarot 101

[@damienechols8091]

Hey, folks - I am in the process of beginning a school of ceremonial magick in New Orleans. We will be going to look at property in the French Quarter in a little less than two weeks. If you would care to help make this endeavor possible, there are two ways to help. The first is by donation, which you can do through Venmo. The link to make donations that way is: venmo.com/code?user_id=3244652077514752605 The second way you can help this come to pass is by support through Patreon, where you will have access to several years worth of videos snd writings, as well as to mew snd upcoming livestreams and classes. And the link for that is: www.patreon.com/Damienechols Thank you so much for your support!🖤🌹🖤

[@disideratum]

New Orleans is one of the most haunted cities in the world. Landlords are legally responsible to tell any potential tenants during the showing a) if the property has any current paranormal activity b) if so, what happens and is any related history known. and c) if there was activity in the past but the property has been “blessed” exactly what was done ie: Catholic priest blessed, a Medium helped the spirit transition, a Pagan practitioner burned sage etc. They don’t mess around with that stuff down there! Not only does it have a powerful history but something about the climate, humidity, or many natural waterways in the environment seems to amplify spiritual activity. I can tell you from personal experience that most of the spirits there stay because they love it so much. It’s home. Even if they have crossed into the light they still come back… It’s their second heaven. Thankfully most are friendly! Hope that’s useful information. It’s a very important factor if you want to make a home down there!

[@kobalt77]

I swear to God, I was looking through my RW Tarot card deck while listening to Damien, At 34:32 when he says "Page of Cups" a card fell out of my deck. I picked it up, it was the Page of Cups. That is beyond freaky ......................... Thank you so much for this video Damien, greatly appreciated. PS I just had a look on Labyrinthos ....."When you are being faced by difficult situations, and you have stopped chasing your dreams, the Page of Cups seems to say that you that you should tackle the issue from a totally different perspective. It symbolizes persistence as this is the only way that you can make your dreams come true. Listen to your intuition, follow your calling, and believe everything is possible." ..................... This is EXACTLY where I am in life just now, and the EXACTLY the advice I needed. ...... Nice work Damien, this is beyond awesome.

[@alejandromolina5645]

It is a welcome experience listening to you. You are very knowledgeable and open with your self experience. ❤ Many people here on here on KZbin are posers, especially left-handers who lack total knowledge of what they are talking about. All they do is make up things, so so spirit is such and such, blah blah, but can't even tell you how they invoked the spirit and never evoke since they lack the skill. All these spirits are sweetness, fluffy and light , blah blah. You on the other hand actually show practical know how that can improve a life.👍👍👍

[@ShaunPatrick78]

I always say that when it comes to the tools of the magician , the Tarot is his swiss army knife because it is so versatile, but I also feel that the cards should be embedded so deeply into your consciousness that you can discard them , like you would training wheels on a bicycle once you learn to ride . Thanks for your insights , it was a breath of fresh air considering all else that's out there on the topic of Tarot

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

The past is something so many of us (myself included) have focused on or still do. We don’t have a time machine, we can’t hop into the DeLorean and re do certain past events, we all know this very obvious and very rational statement, yet for whatever reason it doesn’t stick and resonate like it should. There is not a dang thing any of us can do about the past, it’s done, it happened wether we like it or not, it’s something that is truly beyond any of our limits on what we can do and is no longer in our control but again, it’s still so powerful in consuming many of us negatively stunting our ability to live in the now. I’m on a journey to reinvigorate my entire self, and with that does come some shadow work and letting go of certain anger, resentment, hurt, etc and it’s not easy however it’s extremely rewarding in the sense of feeling lighter and more freeing. I try not to worry even about the distant future and get too hung up on certain “deadlines” of life, I’m living in the now, and it’s made my overall health & wellbeing so much more positive already. I’m sorry for the long comments, I just found your channel and this is my first video but we share pretty similar circumstances down to even the teeth grinding and I really vibe and connect with your energy. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning even more. Just this video alone I’ve learned a few things and I am so grateful for that. Last comment (for this video) pinkie swear lol.

MorninGlory says TY for the reading. I am definitely learning that my attention is better served being put on the cups I have rather than those I've oh so loved to drunk from. Attachment and aversion. Duality and non-duality. Being and non-being. The wise cling not to either. But the fun drunk fully when they have and drunk even full-lier when they've Naught for they have fully embraced Amor Fati whereas some monk-types have a tendency to lose their flame along with their suffering.

[@iriskurka3861]

My dear Damien I so appreciate how generous you are with information. With respect I would like to have you follow your own information. Where attention goes....energy flows. When you mention how sick you are, everyone that has or is listening to your lesson is focusing on your being sick.....not on your being well. I dont care how many types of protection you use... thats alot of negative attention to ward off. I heard a story once of a mother who would not let anyone visit her sick son if they saw him as sick. They had to focus on his health.... and he recovered from something very serious. Maybe tweek your comments so people hear more of how your getting better. You are not alone in this universe and we do have an affect on eachother. Contrats on the progress you have made with your health and the lessons you have learned. Look forward to more videos. Be well.

[@voteZDLR]

I am a Sagittarius and the very first time I ever did the Tarot Contemplation Ritual I got the Temperance card. I found out later the bow in the image symbolizes Sagittarius, so I looked it up and sure enough the Major Arcana card that represents Sagittarius IS the Temperance card. Coincidence? I hope not. I am only just now beginning to study the Kabbalah and Magick, and I am particularly enjoying studying the cards, which is what led me to this video as I want to learn as much as I possibly can about everything. Thanks for making the video! Looking forward to watching it all.

[@KatieBeeTV]

I don't usually do tarot but I grabbed The Wooden Tarot, shuffled very inattentively.... On purpose. I intentionally decided to do a shuffle and the shuffle was just a shuffle. Anyways I got The Magician which makes since while watching videos. Tarot really is a mirror. That's why people tend to say their cards are "rude". You know your own bullshit

I've had the Thoth deck since I was 16, and it's definitely "cold" lol. It has like a stern "warriors" kind of attitude, no BS, very "Heru-Ra-Ha!" a la Horus (and Hadit's) part of the Book of the Law, with an underlying layer of Nuit's Grace. It likes to cut straight to the point, no BS or patience for it. It's also interesting to note, that, like the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, that this masterpiece came about due to the genius collaboration of a male magus and a female painter. I feel the union of "Kingdoms" is the Key to their legendary efficacy and timeless impact on the world.

[@outoftheforest7652]

I have the Thoth Deck and I also have the Universal Waite. I generally use the Universal Waite (I like the softer colors on those) but I like the THOTH deck as well. Those are generally the ONLY two decks I will use as I think all this fluffy bunny pop culture decks stray tooooo far and have lost the meaning of the work. I am sorry, I will never use a "Harry Potter" Tarot deck.. sigh.

and talk about synchronicities at some point.... cause I have been "pulling" cards from a a tarot app on my phone and I did a 3 card spread and I LITERALLY just got the 5 of cups earlier today.................................. I have been getting these random, unconnected synchronicities. We are in to active tornados and there is this random "romance" book i am reading and the character is apparently having dreams about .. Tornados.. I just just watch a video about tornados and jus 30 minutes later read the passage in this random book about tornados. ANd then earlier pulling the 5 of cups in my spread today and then YO are there, holding up that VERy card... I have had these weird things happen. In 2020. I was watching a random show about a woman talking about her and her husbands wedding anniversary being n 12 12 and his parents AND Grandparents anniversaries ALSO being on 12 12 and I realized I was watching this episode on ..........12 12... That flipped me out .. So I get a lot of those...I think, ironically rediscovering you is a syncroncitiy.

[@shauncampbell969]

Kabbalah, wants human to come together, to be one, of the unseen universe. But the the oneness was shattered; now we are all separate, the powers that be, has thrown upon us hatred. The humanistic powers that be have thrown on humanity Covid-19 and has further, separated us; where, we are alone, frightened of each other. This is a deliberate attempt for humans not to evolve spiritually, and for us not to reach the 5th element. A more advanced way of being, thinking, feeling. To be one with the Universe.

I feel your pain regarding getting sick a lot, the last two and a half years health wise for me have been a real Doozy. Hope you’re feeling & doing well now though. I have a (newbie) question. I’ve always had such a strong pull towards magick, divination, witchcraft, the occult and while I did dip my toes into the water here and there growing up, I didn’t start really dedicating myself to it all until recently. I’m taking one day at a time, learning and gaining knowledge from my own experiences, but lately my dreams have been return to Oz type stuff, lol. I never used to dream THIS much, even years ago when trying to open my third eye and lucid dream or when I suffered from bouts of sleep paralysis (I know where it came from, I started twiddling with things I had no business doing-let’s just say I tried my hand at being like ghost hunters.) Thankfully I haven’t experienced the sleep paralysis in years but I have noticed since really dedicating my time, my heart, my intention, my self into learning more about the occult, I dream almost every night and full fledge soap operas. There’s been one where I didn’t have the best dream but it was only a small part of the dream and they truly seem so real. I’ve also noticed so many more signs, like pulling the same two cards in a certain oracle deck almost every single time (one is strength.) One night before bed I did a 3 card pull from my oracle and while I did get a repeating card again, I didn’t get strength. Well, the next morning I woke up and I have doggie stairs to help my old dog get on my bed, I was moving it out of the way to sweep and guess what card must have fell out while I was shuffling? Yep. Strength. My whole body just turnt into one giant goosebump, I felt so blessed to have these signs and guidance given to me. Anyway, back to the dreams, is this something that happens to beginners? Sorry for the long rambling novella comment, lol. Thank you for this video.

After I've done that spread, I will take one more card to see if there is advice needed or what or any more info is needed. I also will stop pulling or end the reading if I pull the last judgement card.

The couple things I have learned is life is thought and we don't know how to think because a possible thing is we don't set our species as a standard like we can work together grow together but my success or failure is in my mind I've friend in the universe we think they are willing to work with us but can you talk to your self you have to use your thoughts not your intentions

I missed the live broadcast but hoping that you’ll get my questions.. I just got the Angel Tarot after you described it and also reading a copy of your Angels(..) book. I would really like to see how you consecrate each card for talismans. I wonder if it would be alright for me to use the deck for divination as well if I’m just reading for myself? Hope to hear back from you or somehow get these questions to you. I’m not on a Patreon unfortunately. I’m on a severely limited income right now but hopefully in the future I can become a patron!

Have you ever tried Reiki? It's much more dense and easy to feel/work with, and, since this chemical body is dense as shit, it works incredibly well, but only for the physical body

I bet right now If I pick up a deck, I’m immediately getting a 5 card and that damn tower 😂🤬🫠😵‍💫. I haven’t bothered to touch a deck in a while, but kind of curious ..

[@spazzychalk]

Regarding the Angel Tarot deck, should you have all of the cards already consecrated so you can grab them for use quickly

there is also another concept called the HERXING Crisis.. Herxheimer or Herx Reactions are a short-term (from days to a few weeks) detoxification reaction in the body. As the body detoxifies, it is not uncommon to experience flu-like symptoms including headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea, or other symptoms. : So basically , when you are trying to heal the body, it can go through a "DETOX" that makes you unwell before you are healed.
