Tarot of Ceremonial Magick by Lon Milo and Constance Duquette [Thursday Reviews]

[@lonmilo]

Thank you Foolish Fish. I am so happy you are enjoying the cards. Your kind words are most appreciated! :-)

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Ah! The man himself! 😄🎉 Congratulations Lon on this re-print, it does your amazing work justice. I'm looking forward to many hours of learning in company of these little gems 😁 Thanks for stopping by!

@@FoolishFishBooks Wow!

[@MonkeyMichael123]

Idk I think those cards look really cool

[@theoroderick782]

So much beauty and power

[@alikhelfa648]

its nice to see it back in print not gonna buy but i want to

[@hypnos68134]

Thank you for reviewing the deck! I was so excited when Lon agreed to allow us to re-print this deck so that people could more affordably obtain a copy. We spent a long time resetting the type to ensuring the cards were in sharp contrast, not blurred and centered. I am very proud to have been involved with such a terrific project, and I hope everyone enjoys this deck immensely! Charlie

[@FoolishFishBooks]

We're all greatly indebted to you and Cindy for bringing this gem back into print! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! 😁

Masterful Simplicity. When I first saw this deck, I marveled at all of the correspondences on every card, but I was unsure how well I could connect with the artwork. After using it for several weeks, I can attest that I have not had any moments of doubt. The simplicity of the artwork, which is relatively free from attempts to depict rational reality, allows the subconscious to connect directly to the symbolic messages without the rational mind butting in. When I lay out the cards for a reading, it's like I have seven computer screens, each giving me a complete profile of information with opportunities to dig deeper into each symbolic link represented on the card.

[@arlynneeblin3576]

What a wonderful deck that I now know exists. It looks perfect: from seeing how they slide, how large they are, and what is depicted upon them...the balance of simplicity in visual and the complexity in meaning unified into a clear and beautiful deck. I will own a copy soon.

[@thestatpow5]

For me the amateurish style of drawing of these tarot cards are what is attractive. it's enjoyable to look at and I don't like the new style of tarot cards people post online with Vectorised art . they don't feel natural. Also loving the colors on these they're awesome. My favorites of this deck are death, tower and the hermit.

[@AshHeaven]

I like how Death is using a lawn mower to chop bodies instead of a scythe. Very effective

[@fernandomartindelcampo4093]

Denis, you should definitely get Lon’s companion book for his Tarot deck. It creates an amazing synergy and together are a great learning, easy to follow and amazing insight bundle. Great video!

[@AshHeaven]

I want it along with the Thoth Tarot and Occult Tarot.

[@blueroot2547]

I've just ordered the second edition of this deck, thanks Lon Milo DuQuette for creating it and Foolish Fish for reviewing it! Looking forward learning more.

[@blueroot2547]

A quick update, they unfortunately cannot ship to the United Kingdom anymore because it's too expensive.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

😩 oh no... I'm so sorry...

[@jdavyslocker]

You can order it via Etsy - that’s how my two copies arrived last month 😁

[@ghettocountry8678]

what a deck! A lot of learning with those cards, but very nice.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I can testify that the accompanying book is a tremendous learning resource too!

[@justinlloyd2446]

The deck I ordered also came with the same coin with the acorn on the front. However the back of mine says "Follow your path". I carry it in my wallet so it stays with me always. I was feeling very down and lost a few months ago. I pulled it out of my wallet and looked at it and instantly felt better.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Lovely little talismans! 🤩

[@kilhapuritybold]

Thanks

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Thanks again, @Kilha Freeze, you're very kind! 😄🙏 Very best wishes to you!

[@paulfogarty7724]

That's a nice deck. I don't think the figure drawing is really all that bad actually and its a thousand times better than one of the most popular decks out there - the Tarot de Marseille. I was never seduced by those dreamy beautifull arty decks. One of my favourites is the Native American tarot by Magda & JA Gonzalez. The drawings have a raw freshness to them that I love.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I can definitely get behind that! :)

[@JaefarSABNW]

It is important to know that there is specific magick being worked on individual decks and the linages of the teachings, thereof. It is important to carry on something peculiar to one's self in different operations. It is important to teach combining universals into particular references,

[@cultfiction3865]

Thanks for sharing. Looks a nice deck. It seems to have all the most interesting symbols included.

[@JesseeSage]

@Foolish Fish , @Lon Milo DuQuette I'm loving the Low Magick book, so far really loving it , I'm about half way trough and have a serious appetite for Quiche :) The Tarot deck looks pretty awesome! Cheers

[@jackmellor8511]

I am new to occult and hermetic teachings so I find this channel really helpful. At Christmas Ill be trawling through the centenary edition golden dawn book. Keep the content coming!

Oooh~! sounds like my ideal Christmas! :D

Very well put! 🤩♥️

[@ORGANISM44]

I can't wait to get this deck, I'll use your link!

[@RobAgrees]

Would you consider doing a video on your opinion of Aleister Crowley and if/how he has influenced your knowledge and practice?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I've just picked up The Magick of Aleister Crowley by LMD. I'm sure I'll be reviewing it at some point this year 😉

[@jerrypough7209]

Have my own, Thank you for the information

[@AshHeaven]

I really think the box cover art should have been the Magus or World card. These are some of the most interesting and attention-drawing in the whole deck.

[@DeeSee77]

Content; magnificent. Voice; magnificent. Combination of both; magickal.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Aw! 😄 You're very kind, sir!

[@scotthelgemo7753]

I would like to get Lon's tarot deck and the accompanying book (and his book Low Magick, as well). I'm just not enthused with having to buy them through Amazon.....

[@rahulnair7714]

This was a deck I thought I had forever lost the opportunity to own, given the astronomical cost before this printing. Now that its within my reach, I am torn. I am on a buying fast at the moment and this video isn't helping one bit! For now I am very happy with my Hermetic/Thoth tarot combo, along with the Qabalistic tarot book by Robert Wang.

[@FoolishFishBooks]

Oh boy! My channel might not be the best place to hang out during a buying fast! 😅 Sounds like Christmas wish-list material maybe?

[@rahulnair7714]

@@FoolishFishBooks Definitely >:D

[@bobbycottonwood000]

From what I understand this is the 3rd and most recent edition. I see you got a special coin with yours. Your video is most enjoyable. However my deck came with an additional Kabbalah Card which I don't see in your video. As well, the inside of the box has 36 additional correspondences which I don't think you pointed out in your video. All the same this is one of the most amazing and comprehensive decks in my collection. Thank you for sharing yours

[@FoolishFishBooks]

So this video goes back a bit, and it's actually te 2nd edition :)

[@bobbycottonwood000]

@@FoolishFishBooks That probably explains it. Cuz the LWB which came with the deck says 2nd Edition but the deck was sold to me as 3rd Edition. However, I also noticed the 2nd Edition was published by Aeon. So it's a little confusing cuz clearly your 2nd Edition was published by Next Millennium in Omaha (same green box) as was mine. Thanks for your reply. Cheers.

[@onthecusptarot]

YAY!!!! I'm so glad you got it! I love Magic Omaha! That's my hometown store! I also saw you during Murasaki & Co recent live! Just subbed to your channel, Nice to meet you on KZbin! xo 🙏💕

[@shelbygivens1648]

I ordered this deck a couple of days ago I am so excited to receive it !! I also purchased the actual guidebook for the deck , but do you feel his other books would be of help to thoroughly learn the deck? And if ao which ones ?

[@FoolishFishBooks]

The guide book is definitely the right one, though I always recommend Lon's 'Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot' as the perfect general occult primer. 😊

Hello I'm from Spain and I've been visiting the web of magicomaha after watching this video but I don't understand what means points to purchuase. Do I need to have points to buy? The site is very cool and has really interesting tarot decks. Thanks again. I'm going to watch all your videos, I feel like you are my guide, coach, menthor or whatever you wanna call it.

[@mortdigo]

At 5:20 you comment on Lon's average skill as an artist....but as far as I am aware, Lon's wife, Constance did most of the art. Constance is also an accomplished mage in her own right :-)

[@FoolishFishBooks]

I believe Constance did the colouring (Homemade Magick p.127)

I know very little about Tarot cards. Do they actually work as a tool of divination ?

They do indeed. Maybe I'll do a Tarot special for this week's Esoteric Saturday video... Let me think about that. 55% chance for now :D Thanks for triggering the idea!
