Thank you for this video! I agree that divination is much more than just reading cards; it certainly is Magick! I have been studying The Thoth tarot and continue finding more & more as my journey takes me further into the many aspects of this craft 😊
"For the letter killeth, but the spirit gives life." A very biblical thought. I did not know that Crowley believed divinatory meanings kill the Tarot. Very interesting. Intuitive tarot does come naturally - I can see how thought could become an obstacle to cosmic vision and even ecstasy.
Ado Centyn Thank you for your insight into the very subtle yet damaging input of those addicted to 3 dimensional existence. As I travel this earth plane and observe all the orders and conditions inflicted upon our path, I now realize that the only truth that which comes from within. All of the great masters have ultimately stated this. Anything else is tainted, twisted and confused by common beliefs. The tarot is a way for me to breathe in an aire of possibilities and allow Spirit to reveal a story or part of a story. The story exists in another realm and with a language that is not available to the tongue. The main piece for me, is to remove the remnants of misbelief which malinger in linearity of earthly understanding. Meander valiantly and courageously into that place which only exists within. This is ours for the being.
I think of this deck as a living consciousness (or as AI). Meditation on these cards, I feel can offer a great deal of insight. Thanks so much for this one!
what is the point in divining if not for the spirit of the universe and the spirit in the diviner(reader and querent)... what is the point of using tarot... ?
The Tarot facilitates the Knowledge and conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel through a set of symbols-that's why a reading is an operation and all operations are for the individual alone, not on behalf of someone else. The 'Divination' is a communication between the Magician and his/her HGA. The Tarot is a tool for the Magician.
Hi Paul, another great video. In my opinion, there's a lot of magic in thoth tarot most of the time When I do an operation with thoth . I don't even ask questions I just let them unfold🪄
There are no fixed, predetermined meanings to the cards. They fluidly blend into the reading, spread, and context. 18+ years of giving readings and I can attest to so many variations of the same card for different people, circumstances, and queries... *_even_* when reading/ meditating/ studying for myself. ♥️ *Thanks again, Paul.*
I'm quite confused help me understand please, so if we limiting tarot meanings by their 'traditional' design and symbols given to them, can we use everything as an oracle tool? For example.. If 'Divination' 'Intuition' 'Energy' 'Psychology' are separate from tarot and can be done and complete without particular symbols but only something to evoke what we have already in ourselves, can i use Rorschach test as well for my Reading? Something like the big bang theory let's say...
Plus, in case tarot are separate from Divination, they behave like us and we can treat them like humans, is there a possibility as well that we accompanied by demons? I'd really like to hear your opinion on this. Lastly i want to highlight that to 'see things with our conscious mind or our metaphysical mind' is one thing, but to mess with diabolic energy and or to even cross the fine line of sanity is totally another thing !
The best answer to your questions is to watch the 3 card readings in our Bart and Paul videos. We don't do anything special, but the feedback has been positive. By the way, these 3 card readings demonstrate basic skills for the Opening of the Key spread (OOTK)
Hello Paul, I recently sent you a messaged about learning from you. I very much agree with you about using cards on a subconscious level even before I heard of you I felt my deck was much more than a deck & is very much alive as odd as that sounds. Even as a young child I been connected & found it very easy to channel other wordly sprirts. I also know for a fact that something came with or from my deck which I describe more in my message. I want to clean it, but will wait for your respones on how I sound handle this issue & what my dreams about them could mean if they seem more than just collection of random thoughts. -Vincent
I know how to travel the astral world while fully awake and aware of everything. I have a strong feeling it's the place the ancient gods are from or have been to. It sucks that no one believes me. I wonder what the world would do if they knew of this place or went there?
After many years of study and careful meditations upon the disciplines of Magic one can then use the Tarot as a map to read peoples future or to help suggest a plan for them. Tarot is a living entity that could be viewed as the branches that reach for the heavens from the tree of life. The origin of which is Egypt. The mystery's of Egyptian Arcana were lost in the great library fire of Alexandria. The Magic of the Thoth is not accomplished by the mere waving of a wand. It requires hard work and disciplined study to achieve adeptus.
So is divination important or not? And is it essential in interpreting meanings of the cards or when doing a reading? You say divinatory descriptions are not included in the book but you say he says it's an important component when working with the cards. I'm sorry but I'm a little confused on that. Thank you and your videos are awesome!
Reading the tarot for others is important. The Book of Thoth has divinatory meanings, but nowhere in the book is the phrase "divinatory meanings". As Frieda Harris says, the purpose of the tarot is not divination but experimentation.
Anyone have any thoughts on a deck of cards I purchased in Portland OR back in the 90's. The deck is a 1986 A G Miller deck, it came with one Magician card and 2 Magus cards..... all three have separate pictures on them, if you have any thoughts please respond.
Hi Diana, Frieda Harris painted many versions of the tarot cards for Thoth Tarot, some still exist. Nobody really knows why, but the publishers of this version included two extra magus cards. If you use the deck for readings (I would keep it in its original box in case you want to sell later), then remove these extra cards
Thank-you for the information, I wish I had the box it came in. I have cat cards I usually use but now and then I know to use the Crowley deck. I am just revisiting the art. I just started watching you on the you-tube program. Sincerely, diana
I heard that it doesn't really matter, that one of the arts of magick, especially in divination, is actually weaving fiction, and bringing illumination to the imagination. From that perspective, maybe its greatest authenticity is proven by its "magickal prestige" than by its literal or archaeological value. I can't remember who told me.
Do u know anything about the new age/golden age of Saturn worship??? In actuality a Christian but study occultism n am just learning about tarot so thanks, just wondering...
It's time to be serious family... This covid stuff at least from my perspective is like a forest fire... It is "real"... Who knows... There is a path and obviously our society is being shifted unto what continues and works. Sobriety and lower pranic breathing. The madness isn't madness in my opinion... I see and hear energies that form into words and even events if one can hear what can be seen and see...
Tahuti Trismegistus That's an interesting concept. Thanks for sharing it. Great food for contemplation (by my subjective mind, how else? ;-) hehe) It is true. Once we interpret something, it is our subjective version of reality. But can we ever be objective?!
DreamWizard9 The mind is the limiting factor - it knows nothing after all, but desperately tries to know everything, and justify it at the same time. If you use awareness then you can over come the mind.

Very refreshing and informative video. Yeah, the card meanings can become a barrier to actually hearing the cards talk to us at times.
Very true!
its the same with learning music theory, when it comes to making music, you forget about it and just play.

I just started studying the thoth tarot
And have found your videos brilliant thanks paul😀
Thankyou, very helpful. Universal love to you and all your viewers.
Your Book of Thoth is as dog eared as mine was! Referring to it so frequently.
and my Liber 777 has fallen apart.
Yes, the sacred message of numbers @@PaulHughesBarlow1
I always say cards dont have meanings, they have possible interpretations. Its the job the reader to interpret the cards, not to recite card meanings.
very true
what is the point in divining if not for the spirit of the universe and the spirit in the diviner(reader and querent)... what is the point of using tarot... ?

Diana Wilson Hope you enjoy my videos! Best to do readings for real people
I've been studying the emerald tablets of Thoth and I enjoy them so much but I'm skeptic about the authenticity
I heard that it doesn't really matter, that one of the arts of magick, especially in divination, is actually weaving fiction, and bringing illumination to the imagination. From that perspective, maybe its greatest authenticity is proven by its "magickal prestige" than by its literal or archaeological value.
I can't remember who told me.
@@GreeneMotionPictures I dont disagree, but... that's pretty convenient. Lol
@@ultravioletpisces3666 Someone also once said that magick is a system of convenience, so that seems pretty useful then.
Do u know anything about the new age/golden age of Saturn worship??? In actuality a Christian but study occultism n am just learning about tarot so thanks, just wondering...
Sorry, that is a new one on me
All this saturn woship stuff is just conspiracy theory shite. Keep in the DI forum
Yes you're right and thank you
Could i quote u in a book im writing or would u rather be lefy out... also where can i get some of your books???

Ya ok man... u should check it out ... way deep

Crawley at the end of his life stated that seeking magic was a waste of his time and he regretted it.
Christian Metatron That is not a proven thing at all.
