[@davegarciaofficial]

Every time one of your videos pops up in my feed my heart breaks a little more. I wish we knew what happened to you. You are SO missed. :(

[@miryamamar5442]

Sacred Seed, your channel is one of the best!!!

[@butterflymagicwithhottea9291]

I am buying the Meditations on the Tarot - Christian Hermeticism after this review. This video is interesting. Well done. Thank you for posting.

[@thorin68]

A warning on that one, the meditations on the tarot is definitely not for the casual reader. The wheels of your brain will start smoking after about 5-10 minuets from straining to comprehend all the compact heady wisdom and knowledge the author drops and you'll find yourself rereading many paragraphs quite often trying to "grok" what the author is saying. If you don't have a background esotericism and it's major historical streams and contributors, you could find yourself quite lost and even frustrated. But having said that, it no doubt gives you many rabbit holes to crawl down and explore which will increase your overall knowledge base and overall is worth the effort imo.

[@magnoliajane5999]

I just found your channel, and this is the first video I watched. I just gotta say you're so cute and and I realy dig your sense of humor and overall vibe.

[@bethanne3410]

Your enthusiasm for tarot is awesome! I'm really enjoying your videos and all of your wisdom is inspiring me to take a much deeper dive into tarot. xox

[@birthstarastrology1435]

This is such a great video, Meditations on Tarot, & Tarot Revelations-both EXCELLENT books-I'm not sure I could do without either!

[@floyp_hashira]

So glad you posted this, I always end up checking out 70% of what you recommend.

[@tarotcaba]

"sometimes you just gotta shuffle" I totally agree! I love your channel.

[@Lisboooa]

Valentine Tomberg wrote meditations on the tarot. Favorite book of pope John Paul II. He had it always close to him....

[@colinsmith8523]

I've been doing readings and working with the Tarot for nearly 35 years now (seriously, my grandmother gave me my first deck and began going through the cards with me when I was just 4 years old!! It's been a long journey!!) I've been going through a lot of your videos this weekend, and I have to say - you have the most natural, friendly and easily accessible manner and way of explaining things for people who may range in experience with the Tarot from beginner to mid-user to people (like me) who may have been working with the cards for years. Unfortunately, a few people who make KZbin videos about the cards do seem a little ''overinflated with their own sense of Ego (job for the Swords there!) and do let that get in the way of expressing themselves. You absolutely do not have that problem! You make it all so amiable, inclusive and FUN. Absolutely wonderful videos, and I look forward to more in the future! Oh - and anyone who has a '"Doctor Who'' ringtone just HAS to be one of the good guys! Much peace and joy to you, Colin.

[@stephaniecarter8458]

I actually found the "Meditations on the Tarot" in a private library at a Scottish Castle we were staying at in 2018. Thought twice about taking it with me but was very good left it in the wonderful library and bought my own copy when I got home to U.S Excellent book read it!!!! Great video here too!!!

[@Shohiko]

I've just recently started dipping my toes into tarot and divination and I've been looking for something like Mystical Origins of the Tarot!! I'm really interested in the historical aspect of it so I'll definitely be reading that one and coming back to your esoteric recommendations once I've gotten more comfortable using the tarot myself!! Great and informative video! :)

[@ralextv]

OMG I wanted you to make a video like this, Than you!!!! i love understanding the tarot from an esoteric point of view and its relations with alchemy, spiritual paths and religons. Thanks!

[@adamkadmon2730]

Much respect for your list. Especially number two. I would add Tarot card meanings and fundamentals, and book of tokens both by Paul Foster Case.Having said that I will definitely explore your recommendations.

[@saintbabylon7250]

Just want to say even though we have the same passion, view and love for tarot, magic, lets just say all that stuff. I notice while you have a thing for RW or RWS style or type decks, I'm more of a Thoth person, but I love esoteric decks and books and by far you are my fave person on youtube. Because of you I fell in love with the Mary El, Tabula Mundi, a good handful of decks and bookslike today you turned me on to because the passion and the way you sell it, lol. Anyways, just wanted to say I appreciate everything you do for us and you really should have your own show, lol. I would tune in every damn time.

[@tarotoculus]

Paul Huson has the lovely Dame Fortune's Tarot - which I love! Thank you for this video as I am always looking for more books for my esoterica library!

[@emilyhall7810]

Thank you for this. I keep forgetting that I have Tarot Revelations on my shelf in the basement just waiting for me. I have been using the Salis Spiritus Alchemical Oracle as, among other things, a way to become better acquainted with the alchemical process. I'm finding it to be a fascinating deck, though I haven't had it that long. So many books to read! Have a lovely rest of the week. Best wishes to you and your wife (and Artie 😉). 😊💕💕💕

[@hiltonroberts8742]

[@TheTruthinStory]

[@sacredseed1295]

The Truth in Story yeah he writes specifically about the Marseille and compares it all to the writings of Dante, which was so popular at the time. really cool stuff! :)

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

I didn't either! Lol. How exciting.

[@rinzler4706]

[@krakentowa8727]

Ahhhhhhhh, Abraxas in the background. Great album.

[@derekbeauchamp2409]

Hi, have you read or have these two books, because they're really a great read and deep study books , ' Jung & Tarot, an archetypal journey by Sallie Nichols , the other is The book of symbols, reflections on archetypal images , by TASCHEN, ISBN-3-8365-1448-4 ' a 800 page book, & it's flipping great. The tarot meditation book I'm still reading it and marking like crazy, it's so really deep isn't it ! And I'm just about finishing, Complete guide to Tarot illuminati, what a brilliant book it is. So many books to read lol. And after seeing your video, I went on Amazon, and bought the Tarot of the Magician. So thanks for that tip.

[@sacredseed1295]

Derek Beauchamp u have read Jung and Tarot, but not the Book of Symbols- it sounds great, I'll have to check it out! thanks :)

[@norasullivanhorner4764]

I know you did a video on the Hermes Playing Card oracle, and you had mentioned that you read the playing cards. Would you ever consider showing us your personal journey with the playing cards and your interpretations etc.?? Thanks so much! Keep up the amazing videos!!!

[@clare5one]

Christine P. Towler had issued a second publishing of her deck, which some tarot collectors felt was on inferior card stock and not as nice as the first printing. I had read that her deck 3rd printing, was going to be a return to her initial style, with better stock etc.. Do you have any info, please? An excellent reference video, THANK YOU!!!

[@sacredseed1295]

clare5 one yeah I had heard that too- I believe benebell wen has both editions and reviews up for them on her site. not sure, but hers might even be a 3rd printing. (of the 2nd edition) good luck my friend :)

[@styliARIEL]

Hi El...I remember a book you presented with meanings of cards in each position of the celtic cross..Can you remind me the tittle?

[@sacredseed1295]

Stelios sure it was "How to Channel from the Akashic Records When You Are Reading Tarot Cards" by Rozália Balázsi. love that one! :)

[@styliARIEL]

[@FamorvehunTempest]

Loved watching, my purse might not be so happy LOL

Thanks a lot, Elle. ;) As an aside...what deck would you recommend for newbs to esotericism/hermeticism/etc.? Excepting Holy Light (I have it and do NOT understand it at all :/ and Thoth) I find I'm needing some more "meat" to my tarot.Thank you!

[@freyadonna3347]

+Sacred Seed What other Joseph Campbell books do you recommend? I see a couple of his complete works are available on Amazon; however, there are many to choose from. Do you know which one is most beneficial to his entire life's' work?

[@MiguelThinks]

Hi! I'm an artist/graduate student in the humanities and I'm considering another degree in something akin to "occult studies" or "mysticism" just so I can delve further into Tarot and make my profound discovery public knowledge. Is there any way I can contact you for further correspondence? (i.e. email or Instagram, etc?) I dont know any serious Tarot practitioners in my area (other than a Columbia Uni professor) and I find you to be very interesting!

[@wolfofcoins]

It turns out I own the last two books you mention - I guess it clearly shows what a history geek I am :D
