You are my and my wife’s newest favorite esoteric content creator!! So glad I found you on RUclips the other day by searching “Thoth Tarot”. Thank you so much for putting all this time and effort into helping others understand and unpack the density of information in these cards. I am going to look into taking one of your courses!
Hey Derick! So happy we are connected. Thank you for the kind words! I definitely love to meet with you to discuss the courses :)
I love your makeup... It adds to your mystical and mysterious appearance
Thank you!
This was such a great explanation. I've read dozens of books on tarot and been into it for several years now. But I still feel like I learned some good takeaways that I hadn't previously considered from this video. ❤
Very interesting insights that I haven't heard anywhere else. Thank you!
Thanks so much!!
Ive just found your content. I am embarking on the occult.. and you are the only tarot reader coming from the Hermetic kabbalah, which is inline with my current studies. Thank you for your content. its making sense to me now- the tarot that is :)
I could listen to you for hours, all this is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing your knowledge ❤️
Thank you so much Dora! That means so much!!
This is SUCH an incredible journey through the universe, spirituality, humanity, and enlightenment. Brings so much more meaning to these cards!
I love your enthusiasm. I feel the same! There's so much to explore
The Magician is the primary yang card, the High priestess is the primary yin card.
Thank you for your existence 🙏. I picked up my first deck of tarot in the late 90s. I wasn't very good with it and didn't get it, I went through many journeys and many paths to find myself here again. i left it behind on a tower like paths that are about of my own fool's journey and ...At age forty I started to research the Tarot and history of it and the symbols because I wanted to create some art. I thought hey lets take on a project and create a deck. I am so glad that I live in the time I do because there is so much wisdom and knowledge and just when I think I got mastery it like... nope let's go deeper. I cannot express how its helped me understand and how much its saved my life. I appreciate everything on your channel because while I am not a beginner, I am not a master and I think thats the beauty is that theres always something so new to learn about it and how the mastery is knowing that you can teach but even all the great teachers say they are still students.
Thank you so much for taking us on this beautiful, deep, devine journey through tarot. This is absolutely incredible! 🙏🙏🙏
Aw thanks that means a lot!
Wonderful video! You are definitely my top content creator on mystical tarot, thank you 🙏
Wow! You certainly have something to say 😊… so refreshing to listen to
Thank you Teresa!!
This really helped me see past the surface level meanings I've learned about the cards! Thank you for this, and each time i listen to you i feel like i grasp a few more references than before. I watched Esoterica's Kabbalah series and i now recognize apocalypticism and more! I can't wait for the next video but I'll rewatch this in the meantime 😆💜
Aw yay! I am so happy to read this! Also, I have the biggest youtube crush on Esoterica. He has sooooo much material! I'll definitely be making more. Much love!
love love your way of teaching!
Thank you so much!!!
Only a few minutes in and already I am overwhelmed with gratitude- thank you thank you thank you 🙏 I love your interpretations and I adore the way you encourage us to form our own relationship with the tarot. You are truly divine. I have so much respect for you. Bless!
Thanks so much for the kind words! They mean so much :)
I’m so happy to have found you! As a Buddhist practitioner this deep dive into Tarot really speaks to me. The Hermit✨and the hanged man✨ Thank you so much for your beautiful presentation of the journey. I so appreciate your energy, so clear and shiny.🌬️🌟 blessings
Incredible as always!
Aw thank you so much Shan!!!
Your description of Justice as the small wheel is sooo good. And "psycho cybernetics" - genius!
Powerful and enriching...thank you! 💗
Brilliant teachings! Love it ❤
Thank you!
Passion always conveys so much more deeply and directly. You are full of it. Through you, I really resonated witb tarot for the 1st time - i read tarot but i realise now in an uneducated, superficial way. Mysticism requires not only intuition and inner knowing, but also study and knowledge, thank you for reminding me of this 🙏
Thanks so much for commenting and the encouraging words. They mean a lot! There is a lot of knowledge out there, lots of rich material to study, but that's part of the fun, the discovery :) Happy we connected!

Joe, thank you so much for this teaching, it was absolutely amazing!! You are a natural teacher, and I have learned so much. I’m excited to watch the rest of your teachings 🙏🌈
Thanks! That means a lot :)
Really appreciate the tarot content, sincerely thank you!
Thank you so much! More coming :)
Dude...I'm honestly floored by something right now. I just left a comment on another video about the high Priestess and water etc, nothing in comparison. When you were talking about Ezekiel, eyes and psychedelics while holding the wheel of fortune card card...friendo...Joe...you're NOT kidding. I had an experience over a decade ago that I'm just now really unraveling the significance of. I've been freaking people out because of my rants about eyes, arch angels, psychedelics, bible quotes and THAT very card. Not to mention The World card. I didnt even get to that part in the video yet because that's how geeked I just got over this subject.
Great Video! I've been using Tarot for about 30 years. I really enjoyed this. Thank you
I came across your page for the first time today. I’ve been doing tarot for a couple years now, but I love the way you explain the cards and interpretations. I lost my twin flame suddenly 7 months ago, from an undetected illness. I get signs from him daily. He was in a band that opened for the Black Crows in the early 2000’s. They wrote a song called Sensation that I just listened to before I found this video. It’s all connected. Thank you for your time and energy, my love. ❤️
I am so sorry to hear that. That's so cool you are getting those signs :) It really is all connected. Much love!
Your great channel and videos brought me to Fall in Love with Toth Tarot, after years of Raider Waite, and dive into the Great Work of Aliester Crowley. As old Egyptian Soul makes me feel to be back at Home again💗Thank you so much for your great RUclips Channel and Work, your amazing Knowledge you share with us all💗
Aw thank you! This made my day. Let me know if you have any questions :)
Incredible I could listen to you all day even though 80% of what you say is way over my head. You have an incredible mind. Thank you for sharing it. Btw your make up is on point❤
Awww... Joe, I noticed you got a bit emotional there, talking about your Gramma. She sounded like a great lady!
Aw yea she was my first teacher :)
The inky tarot teacher i trust!!!
I appreciate you my old soul friend from Egypt
omg he is your past life friend?
@@abyssceral no but i recognize his re carnation from his eyes, he is a powerful soul, god bless him
Thank you so much! Good to conenct. Much lobe :)
Awesome multidimensional explanation of the tarot. Thank you
Its interesting the interpretation of the moon representing our revolutionary past. I have postulated that the moon is where souls go to for their 'karma'.. go to the light? And souls inhabit the moon (this is a Gnostic theory).. it has however been depicted in movies such as The Trueman Show & Moon more recently.
This is interesting.
Thank you I’m learning a lot from you
Im loving your content and the interpretations. Much more complex and spiritual over other interpretations. I came on to comment again as, before you hit the devil card I had popped over to FB for a brain break. Keanu Reeves seems to be popping up in various AI representations and I noted that is he the poster boy for AI I wonder, given he played Neo in the Matrix.. I write this as when I began watching your video you mention Neo in regards both the Devil & Tower card. thought it was a pretty neat syncronicity :)
Nice!
6:04 Gander in the tarot is a type of energy - similar to the left and right brain.
I'm binging you and this is my favorite 😮😮😮😮♥
Great content.... but the makeup is from the movie version of Cats.
in modern esotericism, it's generally accepted that "masculine" and "feminine" energies are just projective and receptive, expanding and contracting
I'm not an expert in Kabbalah, but I would compare it to the sephiroth opposite eachother, where one side of the tree is expansive, and the other restricts that concept, like Hokmah and Binah
I think that has alot to do with how gender expresses itself in humans. Like I was reading about octopi right, we're finding out new behaviors about them all the time, they may have a concept of gender identity as it turns out, as some males will behave "femininely" by making themselves small and walking in the small way the women do, in order to get near another male's mate. In sex, women tend to take this subserviant role, thats just how we socialized, so I think that sorta expanded into this general idea of women as recessive. And I bring up the octopi because they have a sorta similar thing going on, and you can see a more primative socialization of gender in that male's behavior to try and steal another male's mate.
This was a ramble, but what I'm trying to say is I think it helps to think of gender in tarot as more indicative of whether it's an expansive or receptive energy. With the Kings and Queens in the court cards I always say the King is to Speak as Queen is to Listen
I like you saying they bounce off eachother though, because again with the court cards, elements have gender attributed to them as well, the cups are feminine, and the King of Cups is considered a good listener, and listens openly to his people, and uses that to make good decisions. But the Queen then takes that a step further and knows how to really listen to herself as well as others, and uses that to reflect upon herself. So you're right these definitely do take aspects of one another
I interpret it totally differently . You are thinking of cuttlefish not octopus. Cuttlefish to pretend to be female to get close to females. That absolutely does NOT prove ‘gender identity ‘ what so ever. That shows that sex differences are real, and some animals can imitate sex differences to dishonesty obtain sex.
@@umwha I’m not gonna get into an argument about an overly lengthy comment I made over a year ago
My point could’ve been greatly shortened to “I think it’s a good idea to view masculinity and femininity in esotericism as not at all related to how we would view those things today”
The detail about whatever I was reading about octopi was very much unnecessary detail and besides the point,
💚
Thank you. I will surely be taking notes. Have you used the David Bowie tarot? Thats a trippy one like the Thoth deck
Something that came to me while pondering the High Priestess...from The Star Tarot deck
Web of Lies
Web of Truth
Web of Knowledge
Web of Youth
That's beautiful!
@@JoeMonteleone i can picture you saying it beautifully
Great video and made so much sense how the cards progress from one step to the next and come full circle.
Joe, I have watched some Thoth tarot deck videos and I do not relate or connect to them yet would you still recommend someone to read a couple of Crowleys books on the Thoth deck for deeper understandings and learnings and incorporate that into the RW decks?
TIA :-)
Hey Emie! That's a great question! I would say there is no need to, BUT it would definitely add more knowledge. I have personally felt a deeper connection to the Waite Smith deck after studying Crowley. The Book of Thoth, for example, takes golden dawn tradition of tarot (which includes most notably kabbalah and astrology) and extrapolates it by fusing it with the philosophies and images from Crowley's other works, channeled writing, and experiences. I find that the more technical parts of the book are more golden dawn, which is the same material Waite was using to create the RWS. You might also want to explore Book T :)
@@JoeMonteleone Excellent. Thanks very much Joe. Really appreciated 😀
Did I tell you yet that I love you…er…love your videos! ( from an ageless oldster😅)
Aw thank you Tina! So much love to you!!
So if Chariot is a vehicle of the soul would another way of looking at it be strategy? Like looking at the HOW of getting from current place to desired destination? 💚 ✨
Yes that sounds like a great attribution of the chariot :)
Greetings! I don't know if you will see this but I noticed your RWS deck has the various correspondences marked on them. Did you do that, or is this a deck you can purchase that already has those on it? What deck is?
Always enjoy your videos! Thanks so much for making them!
Hey there! I wrote those attributions on it. BUT, the Weiser deck, which was recently released, has them printed on it :)
That which is nothing in particular (actual), is by definition everything in general (potential).
I am That I am = I am That which is.
I = which
Am = is
That which is/That I am.
O is a red herring designed to mislead the wicked and confuse the aspirant enough to seek guidance. The Hebrew letter shin (21) tells the story. One who chooses to live consciously appears 'foolish' in the eyes of the world.
You have to climb all the way to the top of the Tree of Life if you want a 360 degree, all-inclusive god's eye view/perspective of/on Life.
And one might ask, "what tree of life?"
@@JoeMonteleone ?
i would play cards with you
6:13 outmoded gender stereotypes … Sex differences are real my friend. They are generalities , but timeless generalities.
Not timeless, just as long as the human race
@@JoeMonteleone That is still a very long time - much older than history and culture. But I also offer that sex differences are much older than humans, as our evolutionary ancestral species had sex differences - as do all mammals and birds. Even those species who can change sex, or have reversed sex differences still do have a system of sex differences. Sex is a pattern that permeates almost all living things, including plants. Despite variation there are always only 2 sexes because there are only 2 types of gamete - the large sessile gamete with a lot of material - and the small mobile gamete with less material. On the gamete level, the female gamete is passive and the male active. Conceptually, I think this pervades consciousness despite variations on every subsequent level.
I'm curious how you use these deeper meanings in readings?
Great question. The divinatory meanings come from the deeper meanings. You can look at the divinatory meanings and messages as specific experiences of the archetypes that the cards represent.
@@JoeMonteleone thank you! I'll start digging in and doing some research!
You are an old soul i know you from your eyes
Aw yay! Good to see you!
❤️❤️❤️ love the channel Joe
