How To Figure Out The Elements: No. 147

First is a mention of Sue Bryce who talked about turning your good into great and hiring someone to do what you're not good at. The we consider the four Elements and how we can use two number systems - one using planets; the other using Major Trumps - to get a different and ideally deeper understanding of what are considered the basic building blocks of life on earth, if not the universe.

Whew! This is a lot to unpack. There are so many layers to the tarot... it's kind of like an artichoke. There's the accepted meanings of the suits and cards, the expansion of those meanings based on the spread sequence, insights from the pictures, and now the associated elements and numerology. So many things I'd never think of on my own. Thank you for another informative and thought-provoking video.❤

This is so interesting, I’m a total newbie to tarot and there’s so much to learn but I have a question… I don’t quite understand how the numbers relate to the letters and thus how Fire becomes 16 but I’m wondering if you change the name of the element to another language it’ll probably become a different number and therefore a different card then the tower🙈 I’m from the Netherlands for instance and then we’d get a different outcome I’m guessing but this t not even be true. This is why I sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the aspects of tarot. Or is this no problem and then I’d just have to work with the card that comes up for me and see how that relates to “Vuur” which is Fire in Dutch? Thank you for all you do, I really really love your videos and your calm way of being🙏

Dear Ellen: I don' think I have an answer for you. I tried this number system with other European languages and you get different numbers - so vuur is 20. It may be that it makes some kind of sense with English, but not with other languages. Or maybe it's due to different mentalities or thought processes in other countries. If I say "please" in English, I mean do this for me, or obey me - that's what "please" tends to mean even if we don't say it. In French it's "s'il vous plait" - so it's "if it pleases you", so you are leaving it up to the person to cooperate or not. I think it's the same idea in Dutch. The number system is interesting because it gives you different ideas to connect with cards, so as you play with them, you learn more that you might be able to use in a reading. I'm not sure if this is helpful, but ask again if you wish. Oranje voor de eurocup.

@@johnballantrae001 thank you so much for your thorough response John, I figured as much and it’s okay. I’m Dutch but love the English language and my tarot cards and books are English as well. I might just play with it in English and Dutch and experience them as different layers to the tarot. Different ways to connect with it. Thanks again John🙏
