Hey, folks - I am in the process of beginning a school of ceremonial magick in New Orleans. We will be going to look at property in the French Quarter in a little less than two weeks. If you would care to help make this endeavor possible, there are two ways to help. The first is by donation, which you can do through Venmo. The link to make donations that way is: venmo.com/code?user_id=3244652077514752605 The second way you can help this come to pass is by support through Patreon, where you will have access to several years worth of videos snd writings, as well as to mew snd upcoming livestreams and classes. And the link for that is: www.patreon.com/Damienechols Thank you so much for your support!🖤🌹🖤
New Orleans is one of the most haunted cities in the world. Landlords are legally responsible to tell any potential tenants during the showing a) if the property has any current paranormal activity b) if so, what happens and is any related history known. and c) if there was activity in the past but the property has been “blessed” exactly what was done ie: Catholic priest blessed, a Medium helped the spirit transition, a Pagan practitioner burned sage etc. They don’t mess around with that stuff down there! Not only does it have a powerful history but something about the climate, humidity, or many natural waterways in the environment seems to amplify spiritual activity. I can tell you from personal experience that most of the spirits there stay because they love it so much. It’s home. Even if they have crossed into the light they still come back… It’s their second heaven. Thankfully most are friendly! Hope that’s useful information. It’s a very important factor if you want to make a home down there!

Its neat how u put this. I always got a toxic vibe from nostalgia (not that it is inherently bad to feel it, just don't live in it) and its neat to see how the tarot seems to reflect that
I learned more in this video about tarot and actually became re interested in it again than reading any books about it!! You are a natural born teacher, mate! THANK YOU heaps! Much love and respect from Australia.
I swear to God, I was looking through my RW Tarot card deck while listening to Damien, At 34:32 when he says "Page of Cups" a card fell out of my deck. I picked it up, it was the Page of Cups. That is beyond freaky ......................... Thank you so much for this video Damien, greatly appreciated. PS I just had a look on Labyrinthos ....."When you are being faced by difficult situations, and you have stopped chasing your dreams, the Page of Cups seems to say that you that you should tackle the issue from a totally different perspective. It symbolizes persistence as this is the only way that you can make your dreams come true. Listen to your intuition, follow your calling, and believe everything is possible." ..................... This is EXACTLY where I am in life just now, and the EXACTLY the advice I needed. ...... Nice work Damien, this is beyond awesome.
Angels and archangels is one of the only books I find myself using all the time, absolutely priceless information in such an easy-to-digest format. Huge fan of Damien
@@mcguycurtdome2569 I agree my friend. I just bought High Magick 2 days ago, so I will get onto A and A when I have finished that. I just discovered Damien 3 days ago and already he is having a positive impact on me. Have a read of my comment from 30 mins or so ago .............. that was mind blowing !
The past is something so many of us (myself included) have focused on or still do. We don’t have a time machine, we can’t hop into the DeLorean and re do certain past events, we all know this very obvious and very rational statement, yet for whatever reason it doesn’t stick and resonate like it should. There is not a dang thing any of us can do about the past, it’s done, it happened wether we like it or not, it’s something that is truly beyond any of our limits on what we can do and is no longer in our control but again, it’s still so powerful in consuming many of us negatively stunting our ability to live in the now. I’m on a journey to reinvigorate my entire self, and with that does come some shadow work and letting go of certain anger, resentment, hurt, etc and it’s not easy however it’s extremely rewarding in the sense of feeling lighter and more freeing. I try not to worry even about the distant future and get too hung up on certain “deadlines” of life, I’m living in the now, and it’s made my overall health & wellbeing so much more positive already. I’m sorry for the long comments, I just found your channel and this is my first video but we share pretty similar circumstances down to even the teeth grinding and I really vibe and connect with your energy. I look forward to watching more of your videos and learning even more. Just this video alone I’ve learned a few things and I am so grateful for that. Last comment (for this video) pinkie swear lol.
Listening and toward the beginning right now but before I forget I just want to say, I know you think you have a short term memory and maybe you do at times but I have always been amazed at the information and knowledge you retain and can clearly teach! You’re mind is sharp and beautiful! 🙏 Speaking and sending positive energy towards you and you do for all of us!
I've used the Crowley/Harris deck for 27 yrs, same deck. I love it, hated reading the Book for it by Crowley. You are so right he packs so much into each card. My first deck, RWS, was a gift from my Aunt, it was gifted to her, I still have that too. This was an awesome class, thanks!
My gosh, you are quite possibly the most engaging person I have come across and you make things clear. I am blessed to have stumbled upon your teachings. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us all. I gotta sign up to Patreon.
Came back to this again 2 weeks later for this gem. I’m so grateful for master Echols . If love to hear his magical angle of wizard / sorcerer like Frank white and EA koetting and where he thinks their strengths are ( not the negative but ideas of how they could help our path) ! So much respect between you and Quareia you form my base for my occult practice.
It is a welcome experience listening to you. You are very knowledgeable and open with your self experience. ❤ Many people here on here on RUclips are posers, especially left-handers who lack total knowledge of what they are talking about. All they do is make up things, so so spirit is such and such, blah blah, but can't even tell you how they invoked the spirit and never evoke since they lack the skill. All these spirits are sweetness, fluffy and light , blah blah. You on the other hand actually show practical know how that can improve a life.👍👍👍
I always say that when it comes to the tools of the magician , the Tarot is his swiss army knife because it is so versatile, but I also feel that the cards should be embedded so deeply into your consciousness that you can discard them , like you would training wheels on a bicycle once you learn to ride . Thanks for your insights , it was a breath of fresh air considering all else that's out there on the topic of Tarot
I am so incredibly happy that I found your channel! You have turned a truly awful situation and turned it completely into positive, you are such an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge.
Wooo! I just found your channel, and it’s such a treat! It’s going to be hard not to binge watch them 😬 also found it at a very opportune time 🙌 Thank you for sharing your perspective.
I paused the video, thinking you’ll touch on what I am going to say, but I’m going to do it anyway🥸 I feel the tarot is an excellent way to look at situations from different perspectives. It’s a good way to inspire introspection. Much respect.... Unpause!
I cannot thank you enough for this brilliant session with so much information. I am relatively new to your channel and am a fledgling who is trying to learning as much as possible as fast as possible about magic and its related studies. Your no nonsense direct and to the point approach is refreshing and informative. So happy to have found you please be well and I hope that you recover soon.
I understand all to well what you are going through because i have had my body taken from me before and I learned a lot from it. To comment on your teeth I too had my Mercury fillings removed and replaced with porcelain ones and I highly highly recommend you do a heavy metal detox
This was such an informative video! I love the new information Damien shares and his level of wisdom is unsurpassed... a highly intellectual and deep teacher 🙏🏽 sending healing energy to your hands may you heal 🤍
I love your videos and how you interpret things such as the original decks from Italy during the 15th Century. Keep in mind that the first mechanical printing press, Gutenberg Press, 1440’s. Obviously before Gutenberg press everything was done by hand. Also, people who had access had to be more than just wealthy, they also had to be resourceful to have access.
This was awesome Damien. I'm so relieved you showed Rachel Pollack's book 78 degrees of Wisdom it was my first Tarot book years ago.The Angel Tarot is definitely something I will get. I've just read Magick that will assist in ritual. All the other information I knew but you're doing awesome work. Thank you 🙏⭐🌙 Ps. I did a video on Doreen. Hmmm her backflip was not cool. I like your honesty and open conversations. Cool or not. It's cool that you just are 😎 Pps. I forgot as well The Tarot Decoded. Grant Isaac. Have you read that?
Rachel Pollack was one of the first set of books I owned on the tarot. I had them when they were separated into separate volumes of Lesser and Major Arcana.. now they are just one book.
MorninGlory says TY for the reading. I am definitely learning that my attention is better served being put on the cups I have rather than those I've oh so loved to drunk from. Attachment and aversion. Duality and non-duality. Being and non-being. The wise cling not to either. But the fun drunk fully when they have and drunk even full-lier when they've Naught for they have fully embraced Amor Fati whereas some monk-types have a tendency to lose their flame along with their suffering.
My dear Damien I so appreciate how generous you are with information. With respect I would like to have you follow your own information. Where attention goes....energy flows. When you mention how sick you are, everyone that has or is listening to your lesson is focusing on your being sick.....not on your being well. I dont care how many types of protection you use... thats alot of negative attention to ward off. I heard a story once of a mother who would not let anyone visit her sick son if they saw him as sick. They had to focus on his health.... and he recovered from something very serious. Maybe tweek your comments so people hear more of how your getting better. You are not alone in this universe and we do have an affect on eachother. Contrats on the progress you have made with your health and the lessons you have learned. Look forward to more videos. Be well.
Please do a video on or someone point me too a time mark for a video of working with the angel tarot deck and the invoking of angels with the provided sigils.
I am a Sagittarius and the very first time I ever did the Tarot Contemplation Ritual I got the Temperance card. I found out later the bow in the image symbolizes Sagittarius, so I looked it up and sure enough the Major Arcana card that represents Sagittarius IS the Temperance card. Coincidence? I hope not. I am only just now beginning to study the Kabbalah and Magick, and I am particularly enjoying studying the cards, which is what led me to this video as I want to learn as much as I possibly can about everything. Thanks for making the video! Looking forward to watching it all.
Fascinating topic. You mentioned the I Ching. I would love to learn more about the I Ching. I’ve read bits and pieces but generally walked away from the books feeling they were a bit too elusive and esoteric. However I still find the I Ching quite elegant (visually) and interesting (conceptually). Is that something you might cover in a video? Excellent video here. Thank you.
the pocket size thoth tarot deck is easy to shuffle and read. my favorite is the tarot de marseille because it is the first tarot deck in mass production pre-rws
I was born on 5/5/1995. And I felt your explanation on the five of cups. I have lost a lot, and it took me a hot minute to get myself together and move forward.
I feel your pain regarding getting sick a lot, the last two and a half years health wise for me have been a real Doozy. Hope you’re feeling & doing well now though. I have a (newbie) question. I’ve always had such a strong pull towards magick, divination, witchcraft, the occult and while I did dip my toes into the water here and there growing up, I didn’t start really dedicating myself to it all until recently. I’m taking one day at a time, learning and gaining knowledge from my own experiences, but lately my dreams have been return to Oz type stuff, lol. I never used to dream THIS much, even years ago when trying to open my third eye and lucid dream or when I suffered from bouts of sleep paralysis (I know where it came from, I started twiddling with things I had no business doing-let’s just say I tried my hand at being like ghost hunters.) Thankfully I haven’t experienced the sleep paralysis in years but I have noticed since really dedicating my time, my heart, my intention, my self into learning more about the occult, I dream almost every night and full fledge soap operas. There’s been one where I didn’t have the best dream but it was only a small part of the dream and they truly seem so real. I’ve also noticed so many more signs, like pulling the same two cards in a certain oracle deck almost every single time (one is strength.) One night before bed I did a 3 card pull from my oracle and while I did get a repeating card again, I didn’t get strength. Well, the next morning I woke up and I have doggie stairs to help my old dog get on my bed, I was moving it out of the way to sweep and guess what card must have fell out while I was shuffling? Yep. Strength. My whole body just turnt into one giant goosebump, I felt so blessed to have these signs and guidance given to me. Anyway, back to the dreams, is this something that happens to beginners? Sorry for the long rambling novella comment, lol. Thank you for this video.
Damien I had an interesting idea for a video, although I know it’s a lot to ask. Could you possibly show us how to make a Bardon Magick mirror or at least illustrate the concept of astral condensers? Thanks!
Has anyone been using tarot to communicate with a departed loved one? I've done 2 spreads to communicate with someone, and it's worked exceptionally well. Would love to hear from anyone who has thoughts/tips/experience on/with this. Thank you.
I'm pleased to find after seeking how you are after prison we have magick, tarot and much more in common. Blew me away if I'm.honest. Didnt expect that, but I'm so pleased we have that in common. I feel I've known you much longer. Hope that's taken as intended. What a lovely, humble, empathetic and sincere man you come across as to me and others I assume. You help others despite your own hard path to walk. I respect you and think you are an amazing person. I mean that very sincerely. Hope it is received as it is given. Your such an amazing person I support you. My son and I think well if you and will come over to the US to support your demonstration at the police station. Give us notice as we come from the UK. Kind regards and much warm Angela
I've had the Thoth deck since I was 16, and it's definitely "cold" lol. It has like a stern "warriors" kind of attitude, no BS, very "Heru-Ra-Ha!" a la Horus (and Hadit's) part of the Book of the Law, with an underlying layer of Nuit's Grace. It likes to cut straight to the point, no BS or patience for it. It's also interesting to note, that, like the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, that this masterpiece came about due to the genius collaboration of a male magus and a female painter. I feel the union of "Kingdoms" is the Key to their legendary efficacy and timeless impact on the world.
I have the Thoth Deck and I also have the Universal Waite. I generally use the Universal Waite (I like the softer colors on those) but I like the THOTH deck as well. Those are generally the ONLY two decks I will use as I think all this fluffy bunny pop culture decks stray tooooo far and have lost the meaning of the work. I am sorry, I will never use a "Harry Potter" Tarot deck.. sigh.
I think it is a part of moving trough the grades of Hermetic Order of Golden Dawn to make your own deck. I am not good at painting/drawing, but I am really keen on doing that. Have any of you made your own? I made my runes a few years ago, and really like to work with something I made from scratch.
is it really alright to strain while doing rituals? like when i used to practise guitar with so mush stress on my hands like strain gave my playing a temporary boost but it was just a quick fix and i ended up hurting myself... i was basically back to 0 and had to practice everything that i knew again but while being relaxed and it takes rly longggggg to relearn bad habits could it be you straining youself is causing you health issues? just a thought
My first time here. I’m a true crime buff I’ve dove back into west Memphis 3 since the dirty chief resigned. I know y’all innocent. I’m so so glad they found the evidence. I been searching for case updates on here And wow found u here!
The ten of swords can be looked as, you have said everything that was needed to be said and its times to start to next phase of communication or to move on from that type of thinking
I don't usually do tarot but I grabbed The Wooden Tarot, shuffled very inattentively.... On purpose. I intentionally decided to do a shuffle and the shuffle was just a shuffle. Anyways I got The Magician which makes since while watching videos. Tarot really is a mirror. That's why people tend to say their cards are "rude". You know your own bullshit
Pamela 'pixie' Smith is buried fairly close to where I live. I find it fascinating that both the RWS/Thoth decks where envisaged by 'sparked' by male occultists and brought to life by women. It's like the blade and chalice principle in action.
Damien may I ask what RW deck you took the card from that you were using when you were teaching us about the 5 of cups with the guy in the black cloak? Lol hope that make sense. I felt very attracted to the image on that card for some reason. Thanks for taking time to share with us your incredible knowledge.
I'm seriously bummed that I missed this. I was actually watching another video by you. I will be watching out for the next one. I am going through something similar almost exactly actually. I know what you are feeling. Kind of like the echo factor. It comes back around and beats you down again forcing you to look at it in another perspective.
Hi damien, could you tell us more about the minor arcana? There's a lot of information about the major ones. If you could teach us about the numerology implied in them that would be great. Sorry for the bad english. Love from argentina.
@damienechols8091 What is the name of the metallic deck you showed in comparison to the regular Rider-Waite-Smith deck? I've been having a terrible time finding it. Thank you.
and talk about synchronicities at some point.... cause I have been "pulling" cards from a a tarot app on my phone and I did a 3 card spread and I LITERALLY just got the 5 of cups earlier today.................................. I have been getting these random, unconnected synchronicities. We are in to active tornados and there is this random "romance" book i am reading and the character is apparently having dreams about .. Tornados.. I just just watch a video about tornados and jus 30 minutes later read the passage in this random book about tornados. ANd then earlier pulling the 5 of cups in my spread today and then YO are there, holding up that VERy card... I have had these weird things happen. In 2020. I was watching a random show about a woman talking about her and her husbands wedding anniversary being n 12 12 and his parents AND Grandparents anniversaries ALSO being on 12 12 and I realized I was watching this episode on ..........12 12... That flipped me out .. So I get a lot of those...I think, ironically rediscovering you is a syncroncitiy.
there is also another concept called the HERXING Crisis.. Herxheimer or Herx Reactions are a short-term (from days to a few weeks) detoxification reaction in the body. As the body detoxifies, it is not uncommon to experience flu-like symptoms including headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea, or other symptoms. : So basically , when you are trying to heal the body, it can go through a "DETOX" that makes you unwell before you are healed.

New Orleans is one of the most haunted cities in the world.

They don’t mess around with that stuff down there! Not only does it have a powerful history but something about the climate, humidity, or many natural waterways in the environment seems to amplify spiritual activity.

All they do is make up things, so so spirit is such and such, blah blah, but can't even tell you how they invoked the spirit and never evoke since they lack the skill. All these spirits are sweetness, fluffy and light , blah blah.
You on the other hand actually show practical know how that can improve a life.👍👍👍
The best teacher ever - I could listen and do your practicals all day
It makes me happy to see you doing well. Wish u the best moving forward
I always say that when it comes to the tools of the magician , the Tarot is his swiss army knife because it is so versatile, but I also feel that the cards should be embedded so deeply into your consciousness that you can discard them , like you would training wheels on a bicycle once you learn to ride .
Thanks for your insights , it was a breath of fresh air considering all else that's out there on the topic of Tarot
I am so incredibly happy that I found your channel! You have turned a truly awful situation and turned it completely into positive, you are such an inspiration and a wealth of knowledge.
Wooo! I just found your channel, and it’s such a treat! It’s going to be hard not to binge watch them 😬 also found it at a very opportune time 🙌 Thank you for sharing your perspective.
Excellent tarot lesson, thank you so much for this.
I am grateful for this. I have my first deck and have been dabbling but this is so comprehensive. Blessings, dear Damien
I paused the video, thinking you’ll touch on what I am going to say, but I’m going to do it anyway🥸
I feel the tarot is an excellent way to look at situations from different perspectives. It’s a good way to inspire introspection.
Much respect....
Unpause!
I've been sitting on a unopened tarot deck for the last year and decided to open it up 3 days ago.
Thank you
I agree, Rachel Pollock's 78 Degrees of Wisdom is fantastic! I use it almost every day.
39:33 They way you said "He's dead" made me laugh
Ahah for me it was the sudden southern accent
Fantastic. Now I can learn this through you as well, thank you so much for all your teachings. Hey! That's my card on the preview screen! :D
Currently Reading both High Magick and Angels and Archangels 👌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼 Thank you for your teachings
I cannot thank you enough for this brilliant session with so much information. I am relatively new to your channel and am a fledgling who is trying to learning as much as possible as fast as possible about magic and its related studies. Your no nonsense direct and to the point approach is refreshing and informative. So happy to have found you please be well and I hope that you recover soon.
Tarot is so interesting to me it’s almost feels therapeutic and it’s good to explore
Tarot is a beautiful sacred tool its SO fascinating 👍🤗❤
12:00 . Tarot, like kuji, Making the unconscious conscious. 56:00 book that is the bible of tarot
your book BTW (Rituals) is freaking awesome. Just receive my copy yesterday. Highly recommended to other viewers 👍🏻
Thank you kindly for your instruction and recommendations!
I understand all to well what you are going through because i have had my body taken from me before and I learned a lot from it. To comment on your teeth I too had my Mercury fillings removed and replaced with porcelain ones and I highly highly recommend you do a heavy metal detox
This was such an informative video! I love the new information Damien shares and his level of wisdom is unsurpassed... a highly intellectual and deep teacher 🙏🏽 sending healing energy to your hands may you heal 🤍
I love DuQuette's Thoth. Tree of Life... Way back and an understanding of the paths. Life changing.
Thanks as always, Damien. The connections you’ve strengthened in the last year are priceless.
I love your videos and how you interpret things such as the original decks from Italy during the 15th Century. Keep in mind that the first mechanical printing press, Gutenberg Press, 1440’s. Obviously before Gutenberg press everything was done by hand. Also, people who had access had to be more than just wealthy, they also had to be resourceful to have access.
This was awesome Damien. I'm so relieved you showed Rachel Pollack's book 78 degrees of Wisdom it was my first Tarot book years ago.The Angel Tarot is definitely something I will get. I've just read Magick that will assist in ritual. All the other information I knew but you're doing awesome work. Thank you 🙏⭐🌙
Ps. I did a video on Doreen. Hmmm her backflip was not cool. I like your honesty and open conversations. Cool or not. It's cool that you just are 😎
Pps. I forgot as well The Tarot Decoded. Grant Isaac. Have you read that?
Rachel Pollack was one of the first set of books I owned on the tarot. I had them when they were separated into separate volumes of Lesser and Major Arcana.. now they are just one book.
MorninGlory says TY for the reading. I am definitely learning that my attention is better served being put on the cups I have rather than those I've oh so loved to drunk from.
Attachment and aversion. Duality and non-duality. Being and non-being. The wise cling not to either. But the fun drunk fully when they have and drunk even full-lier when they've Naught for they have fully embraced Amor Fati whereas some monk-types have a tendency to lose their flame along with their suffering.
My dear Damien I so appreciate how generous you are with information. With respect I would like to have you follow your own information. Where attention goes....energy flows. When you mention how sick you are, everyone that has or is listening to your lesson is focusing on your being sick.....not on your being well. I dont care how many types of protection you use... thats alot of negative attention to ward off. I heard a story once of a mother who would not let anyone visit her sick son if they saw him as sick. They had to focus on his health.... and he recovered from something very serious. Maybe tweek your comments so people hear more of how your getting better. You are not alone in this universe and we do have an affect on eachother. Contrats on the progress you have made with your health and the lessons you have learned. Look forward to more videos. Be well.
Please do a video on or someone point me too a time mark for a video of working with the angel tarot deck and the invoking of angels with the provided sigils.
I am a Sagittarius and the very first time I ever did the Tarot Contemplation Ritual I got the Temperance card. I found out later the bow in the image symbolizes Sagittarius, so I looked it up and sure enough the Major Arcana card that represents Sagittarius IS the Temperance card.
Coincidence? I hope not. I am only just now beginning to study the Kabbalah and Magick, and I am particularly enjoying studying the cards, which is what led me to this video as I want to learn as much as I possibly can about everything.
Thanks for making the video! Looking forward to watching it all.
Damien Echols: The best celly I never had. But for real, bless you brother.
Thank you for this.
Fascinating topic. You mentioned the I Ching. I would love to learn more about the I Ching. I’ve read bits and pieces but generally walked away from the books feeling they were a bit too elusive and esoteric. However I still find the I Ching quite elegant (visually) and interesting (conceptually). Is that something you might cover in a video? Excellent video here. Thank you.

the pocket size thoth tarot deck is easy to shuffle and read. my favorite is the tarot de marseille because it is the first tarot deck in mass production pre-rws
Amazing Damien!
I was born on 5/5/1995. And I felt your explanation on the five of cups. I have lost a lot, and it took me a hot minute to get myself together and move forward.
We have the same birthday!! Only was born in '96!
@@deadmoonscriptures1556 That's so cool. We are powerful people.
@@carenwilliams349 I love that self confidence. I agree, we are. Powerful and perseverant.
I feel your pain regarding getting sick a lot, the last two and a half years health wise for me have been a real Doozy. Hope you’re feeling & doing well now though.
I have a (newbie) question. I’ve always had such a strong pull towards magick, divination, witchcraft, the occult and while I did dip my toes into the water here and there growing up, I didn’t start really dedicating myself to it all until recently. I’m taking one day at a time, learning and gaining knowledge from my own experiences, but lately my dreams have been return to Oz type stuff, lol. I never used to dream THIS much, even years ago when trying to open my third eye and lucid dream or when I suffered from bouts of sleep paralysis (I know where it came from, I started twiddling with things I had no business doing-let’s just say I tried my hand at being like ghost hunters.) Thankfully I haven’t experienced the sleep paralysis in years but I have noticed since really dedicating my time, my heart, my intention, my self into learning more about the occult, I dream almost every night and full fledge soap operas. There’s been one where I didn’t have the best dream but it was only a small part of the dream and they truly seem so real.
I’ve also noticed so many more signs, like pulling the same two cards in a certain oracle deck almost every single time (one is strength.) One night before bed I did a 3 card pull from my oracle and while I did get a repeating card again, I didn’t get strength. Well, the next morning I woke up and I have doggie stairs to help my old dog get on my bed, I was moving it out of the way to sweep and guess what card must have fell out while I was shuffling? Yep. Strength. My whole body just turnt into one giant goosebump, I felt so blessed to have these signs and guidance given to me. Anyway, back to the dreams, is this something that happens to beginners?
Sorry for the long rambling novella comment, lol.
Thank you for this video.
The one that got me into it is the jodorowsky tarot of Marseille.
You're not feeding your future, you are feeding your past. #FACTS
thank you for the teachings
Many Blessings of Love & Peace unto You All!
Damien I had an interesting idea for a video, although I know it’s a lot to ask. Could you possibly show us how to make a Bardon Magick mirror or at least illustrate the concept of astral condensers? Thanks!
Thanks so much!
Try lions mane mushroom to help with nerves and memory! It may help a bit at least!
I agree lions mane for the brain !!
Has anyone been using tarot to communicate with a departed loved one? I've done 2 spreads to communicate with someone, and it's worked exceptionally well. Would love to hear from anyone who has thoughts/tips/experience on/with this. Thank you.
I'm pleased to find after seeking how you are after prison we have magick, tarot and much more in common.
Blew me away if I'm.honest. Didnt expect that, but I'm so pleased we have that in common.
I feel I've known you much longer. Hope that's taken as intended.
What a lovely, humble, empathetic and sincere man you come across as to me and others I assume. You help others despite your own hard path to walk.
I respect you and think you are an amazing person. I mean that very sincerely. Hope it is received as it is given. Your such an amazing person I support you. My son and I think well if you and will come over to the US to support your demonstration at the police station. Give us notice as we come from the UK.
Kind regards and much warm

I've had the Thoth deck since I was 16, and it's definitely "cold" lol. It has like a stern "warriors" kind of attitude, no BS, very "Heru-Ra-Ha!" a la Horus (and Hadit's) part of the Book of the Law, with an underlying layer of Nuit's Grace. It likes to cut straight to the point, no BS or patience for it. It's also interesting to note, that, like the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, that this masterpiece came about due to the genius collaboration of a male magus and a female painter. I feel the union of "Kingdoms" is the Key to their legendary efficacy and timeless impact on the world.
I have the Thoth Deck and I also have the Universal Waite. I generally use the Universal Waite (I like the softer colors on those) but I like the THOTH deck as well. Those are generally the ONLY two decks I will use as I think all this fluffy bunny pop culture decks stray tooooo far and have lost the meaning of the work. I am sorry, I will never use a "Harry Potter" Tarot deck.. sigh.
Blessings for thy wisdom
I think it is a part of moving trough the grades of Hermetic Order of Golden Dawn to make your own deck. I am not good at painting/drawing, but I am really keen on doing that. Have any of you made your own? I made my runes a few years ago, and really like to work with something I made from scratch.
What is the name of the black/foil deck? I love it! Thank you.
Golden Universal Tarot
@@kekkuloidi Thank you!
Could you start citing sources like the davinci thing? You dont gotta but it would be a lot cooler if ya did lol
Please tell us about the yi qing too and give us a demonstration
What deck name is this card from at 15:40v
is it really alright to strain while doing rituals?
like when i used to practise guitar with so mush stress on my hands like strain gave my playing a temporary boost but it was just a quick fix and i ended up hurting myself... i was basically back to 0 and had to practice everything that i knew again but while being relaxed and it takes rly longggggg to relearn bad habits
could it be you straining youself is causing you health issues? just a thought
Much love to you Damien ☮️
Regarding the Angel Tarot deck, should you have all of the cards already consecrated so you can grab them for use quickly
How about Golden Dawn Tarot? RWS tarot was designed on this deck.
Thank you so much for another great video🥰
in truth,, we should be grateful our planet is still here and in tact,,,
14:54 what is the publisher of this RWS deck?
My first time here. I’m a true crime buff I’ve dove back into west Memphis 3 since the dirty chief resigned. I know y’all innocent. I’m so so glad they found the evidence. I been searching for case updates on here And wow found u here!
The ten of swords can be looked as, you have said everything that was needed to be said and its times to start to next phase of communication or to move on from that type of thinking
Tens to my understanding means you have crystalized that part of yourself
How do you find the names of the 36 angels of the decans of the zodiac
I don't usually do tarot but I grabbed The Wooden Tarot, shuffled very inattentively.... On purpose. I intentionally decided to do a shuffle and the shuffle was just a shuffle.
Anyways I got The Magician which makes since while watching videos.
Tarot really is a mirror. That's why people tend to say their cards are "rude".
You know your own bullshit

Reading is not learning but knowing is not having to learn a book should inspire thought thought should inspire a book
Pamela 'pixie' Smith is buried fairly close to where I live. I find it fascinating that both the RWS/Thoth decks where envisaged by 'sparked' by male occultists and brought to life by women. It's like the blade and chalice principle in action.
Don't strain, relaxation is the key. Relaxation will allow your mind to operate better.
Loved this. Thank you ☺️ x
Thank you Damian 🖤
The best book 📖 I've ever read 🤣 n tarot is a 📖 called the truth about the tarot.
Thank you 😊
damien wondering if you could tell me where you got your black tarot from really kool??
Damien may I ask what RW deck you took the card from that you were using when you were teaching us about the 5 of cups with the guy in the black cloak? Lol hope that make sense. I felt very attracted to the image on that card for some reason. Thanks for taking time to share with us your incredible knowledge.
58:12 Angel Tarot
I'm seriously bummed that I missed this. I was actually watching another video by you. I will be watching out for the next one. I am going through something similar almost exactly actually. I know what you are feeling. Kind of like the echo factor. It comes back around and beats you down again forcing you to look at it in another perspective.
I’m pretty sure the songs in my head have been my tarot deck for years holy shit
Hoping you are feeling better
15:13 What's the name of the metallic RW deck? Assuming it was a special edition, can't find it online.
Golden Universal Tarot
@@kekkuloidi Thanks!
Hi damien, could you tell us more about the minor arcana? There's a lot of information about the major ones. If you could teach us about the numerology implied in them that would be great. Sorry for the bad english. Love from argentina.
To understand the numerology of the Minor Arcanum, study Kabbalah. 1-10 all relate to the energy of the corresponding sephiroth.
@@jessegreer8242 thanks, I didn't knew about this. What about 11s and 12s?
@@jessegreer8242 Thank you! 🙏❤
@damienechols8091 What is the name of the metallic deck you showed in comparison to the regular Rider-Waite-Smith deck? I've been having a terrible time finding it. Thank you.
and talk about synchronicities at some point.... cause I have been "pulling" cards from a a tarot app on my phone and I did a 3 card spread and I LITERALLY just got the 5 of cups earlier today.................................. I have been getting these random, unconnected synchronicities. We are in to active tornados and there is this random "romance" book i am reading and the character is apparently having dreams about .. Tornados.. I just just watch a video about tornados and jus 30 minutes later read the passage in this random book about tornados. ANd then earlier pulling the 5 of cups in my spread today and then YO are there, holding up that VERy card... I have had these weird things happen. In 2020. I was watching a random show about a woman talking about her and her husbands wedding anniversary being n 12 12 and his parents AND Grandparents anniversaries ALSO being on 12 12 and I realized I was watching this episode on ..........12 12... That flipped me out .. So I get a lot of those...I think, ironically rediscovering you is a syncroncitiy.
I too hate giving love readings! lol
A book is a reflection of pride nothing but your thought is needed say they
I'm on beautiful thought side
can you tell me the name of the tarot set you used? thank you
Golden Universal Tarot 😀 I had to find them they are amazingly beautiful
@@maryannebergeman2015 oh thank you!
@@laluvagyrl1 you’re so welcome! I searched until I found them❤️
there is also another concept called the HERXING Crisis.. Herxheimer or Herx Reactions are a short-term (from days to a few weeks) detoxification reaction in the body. As the body detoxifies, it is not uncommon to experience flu-like symptoms including headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea, or other symptoms. : So basically , when you are trying to heal the body, it can go through a "DETOX" that makes you unwell before you are healed.
