Thank you so much for the kind review and it is brilliant that you got what I was doing with the Court Cards - so glad this was useful to you. Good to see how in-depth you went into your studies with the Thoth, they truly are a lifetime work. Excellent video!

[@MarleneTheresa]

Oh my! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video. I’ve learned so much from your Thoth series as I mentioned. It’s been the most accessible text for a newbie like me. Really appreciate you wandering on over and commenting. Thanks again!

[@shelbygivens1648]

Wow!! Marcus katz!!!

[@pamelabatchelor9204]

I honestly never imagined getting into Thoth but the pull has finally got a grip on my ankels. Its the Decan walk that has propelled me in and of course you boo

[@MarleneTheresa]

That’s awesome. It’s my favorite. Let me know how it goes!

[@Gabriel-rr5vb]

Thank you for the valuable information.

[@weststartarot-Liz]

This is so helpful! I made a commitment to dive into the Thoth a couple of years ago and got a deck, a journal, some books on Thoth. I did great for a while, but then I just couldn’t figure out how to keep it going. Love your idea of keeping a planner as opposed to a journal great idea! I basically used a similar method to this when I learned RWS, but that artwork and system spoke more clearly to me than Thoth does. Thank you so much for sharing your study system. The bottom line is it takes time to learn these complex, deep, symbolic systems. It doesn’t happen overnight! So far my favorite Thoth book has been the Angeles Arrien book most likely because I’m a feminist and imo Crowley was a misogynist which is the main reason I resisted studying this system.. I love having this female perspective of the Thoth. I found a really well priced greenie in great shape on eBay, too!!! So exciting!!! This is such a long comment, but I just kept adding to it as your video progressed!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ You’ve inspired me to give it another go!

[@MarleneTheresa]

Hi! I'm so glad it was helpful. You're right, it's a learning process that can last a lifetime. That's why I love the tarot so much. Thanks for watching! I'm a subscriber of yours. I don't know squat about plants and herbs, so I love learning from you & seeing your beautiful backyard and garden. I hope your husband is doing better! Thanks again.

[@weststartarot-Liz]

@@MarleneTheresa Tarot is definitely a lifelong journey of learning! It’s such a joy and pleasure but tbh sometimes painful!!!! But that’s how we grow!!! Glad you are enjoying my videos!!!! We can have a mutual admiration society!!! 🤣

[@DawnMichelleTarot]

This was such a fantastic and informative video! Full of wonderful information, not just for those starting with Thoth but also for us still engaged in the study. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@jamesmcintosh9187]

So you posted this video over a year ago and totally not counting on you ever seeing what I have to say. But I must say that the Crowley / Golden Dawn paradigm are drastically different means of interpreting the thoth. It gets back into the entire nature of the kabbalah. One cannot project and truly be a practitioner of this art. One must be receptive. And the Crowley/golden dawn method is all about projection, not being receptive.

[@MarleneTheresa]

Interesting. I’ve not really studied the “method,” just the imagery, symbolism, and archetypes on the cards. I’ve only scratched the surface of my understanding of the kaballah and just in relation to the tree of life in the tarot. I don’t subscribe to any one philosophy. I don’t remember if I said anything about projection or receptivity in this video! lol. Thanks for stopping by to comment.

[@millenials_best]

Your cool. Your voice is great. Thank you for the grounding.

[@SkeevyNix]

Brilliant video and breakdown of the availiable resources, how you went about your studies, what you found helpful etc, etc... really useful to parse the resources that are availiable if you can only have one or two. Thank you!!!

[@MarleneTheresa]

Thanks so much! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@Whoismonroecarter]

I was listening to the same podcast, I think we have all the same books 📚 but I don’t have the one for the wheel house 📕… thank you for sharing

[@MarleneTheresa]

Awesome. Thank you for watching!

[@zaiologyy]

Love this summary and your dedication to your work :) Just finally upgraded ro the thoth after many years of sticking to Lisa Hunt & Ma Deva Padma decks, I got the medium size ones but a little tough to see the art, the pocket ones look so cool tho 😁 Anyway, great work!

[@MarleneTheresa]

Thank you so much! Glad I could help.

[@thetbrdiaries]

I'm about to dive into Thoth and am a little intimidated by it so this is a fantastic video of resources, thank you!

[@MarleneTheresa]

I’m so glad! Thanks for watching.

[@mojobrody]

thank you SO much for this informative and thorough video! It's super inspirational as I start to think about an in-depth Thoth journey! (did you back the re-issue of the Thoth Journey?) I got a gorgeous Box C Greenie for a great price a few months ago and it got me really amped up for a Thoth deep dive (then went and bought the mini-Thoth with the 3 Magi by Mueller (Belgian printing) so bow I'm in deep! Got the Snuffin book after watching your group live chat and it's not gonna work for me! I am thinking of getting the Katz books so thanks SO much for your thorough treatment of them! I love your videos and really enjoy your cute and gentle vibe! I love "wandering by" your channel!

[@MarleneTheresa]

I’m so glad you found it helpful. I didn’t back that, I’ll have to look into it. Thanks so much for your kind words. 😊

[@HazaelAlighieri21]

I bought both the deck and the Book of Thoth a few years ago, but never managed to sink in. I'm resoluted to do it, but I think I'm only able to afford one of those books for the time being. I feel a little bit inclined to "Tarot Deciphered" , since it isn't speciallized on Thoth but in like the symbolism and principles (?) of the tarot itself, but really can't decide. What would be your recommendation? They all seem so useful.

[@MarleneTheresa]

It’s hard to say because I used all these various resources to help me learn Thoth. I also recommend Fortune’s Wheelhouse podcast. I ought to make an updated video about my Thoth resources. Currently my favorite of those books is the Tarot Handbook by Angeles Arrien.

[@fredbissnette3104]

What got me interested was the holy mountain once i saw that it got me piqued

[@M.E.Gonda1111]

I love this. Thank you for sharing. I just bought my Thoth deck and Your video has so helped me get some ideas for how to start studying. Cause I'm a Tarot nerd too!!!

[@MarleneTheresa]

I'm so glad to hear that. Tarot Nerds unite!

[@shaunaraetarot]

Thanks for these recommendations 💚💚💚 I’ll definitely be coming back numerous times to this vid 💚

Thank you So much for this video. I've been reading Thoth for 31 years and I really love watching videos of how people are working with it🙏🧡🌺💕 I also use the Outgrow Yourself and Loving it❤

I'm so glad you enjoyed my beginner video. I still love the Thoth and am learning more every day.

@@MarleneTheresa I have been using Angeles Arrien’s book for many years. As a matter of fact, I worn my first copy so completely I had to buy another 😊👍💗🌸💕

[@shellyfont527]

I ordered the Thoth Deck from Twizted Creations in Palmyra and I'm so excited to pick it up this coming weekend and start studying! Thank you so much for your detailed description of your resources, I put them all on my shopping list. Thank you so much, inspired by your study 😊 💜

Hi! I’m so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching. Enjoy your studies.

Thank you so much!! Very helpful!!

I’m so glad! Thanks for watching.

[@barbarasharp9432]

Thanks for a great Thoth resource video. I have the Liber M & Phantasmagoria books in digital form with the deck apps. Would you recommend starting with Katz’s books vs.the DuQuette book (knowing now what you didn’t know then)? ☺️

[@MarleneTheresa]

Great question! Honestly, if you can get all of them, it’s worth it. All of the info in Understanding that is before he goes card by card is really good. I just found that for a single card study, I preferred Katz. Thanks so much for watching!

[@marsyasian]

I love this

[@MarleneTheresa]

I’m so glad. Hope it’s helpful!

[@lovejoyy]

I just got the small size Thoth and I have pulled a few cards. What a deep deck. I have been enjoying your thoughts and how you organize yourself. I’m impressed! I might get my self a notebook like that. Always love your content.

[@MarleneTheresa]

That’s awesome. I hope you enjoy the learning process with Thoth. Yes, my daily planner really kept me on track. Thank you so much for watching!

[@shelbygivens1648]

I have almost all of the thoth books, and out of all of them Handbook to the cards (the blue one ) is the one that's going to have something different other books don't have. In my opinion

[@MarleneTheresa]

Hi Shelby! Awesome. Yes, I agree. I've actually recently been working with the Handbook to the cards. I also find the Angeles Arrien book to deliver some really interesting different takes on the cards too.

[@shelbygivens1648]

I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you!

[@hay1chihuahua]

Love it. Can we say TOT... Like tater-TOT? but TOT is a moon god, the god of wisdom, justice, and writing, patron of the sciences, and messenger of Ra.

[@MarleneTheresa]

There is much debate on the pronunciation & I'm not sure a definite answer, so say it however you choose. :) Thanks for watching.

[@towardsthelight220]

I'm learning this now through the Tabula Mundi Tarot, and it hits hard. Got a definition in the 8 of cups energy today from employees working at a sandwich shop. It's awesome!

[@ChrisLynch1313]

Hi there it is pronounced toe-th

[@belphegor_dev]

It isn't. There is no consensus on how it's pronounced. We don't even know how Crowley pronounced it.

[@ChrisLynch1313]

@@belphegor_dev it's not Crowley I am concerned with it the Egyptians but okay I'll give you that no one can agree with what the proper way to pronounce it is but it damn sure isn't "tha-oth". Plus she says it over and over regardless of the pronunciation repeating any word 1000 times a minute is dreadfully annoying, I was trying to be nice ish 'nd spare the lady's feelings but there it is. I couldn't watch the video all the way through because of the nonstop repetition. I found it grating.

[@ChrisLynch1313]

What's going on with KZbin I got a notification that someone wrote "We know Crowley's pr..." but I can't find the post. Was it removed? What did it say? I need to know. 🫨

[@underthecurrent9708]

The Egyptian way of saying Thoth is Tahut 😊

[@belphegor_dev]

That is debatable.
