I know this is an old video but I’ve just watched it a few times in the past couple of weeks and I find your explanation of the suits, the minors, and the majors to be the simplest explanations. I don’t understand why other channels try to make this seem so complicated. I hope you have a class one day I would love to join!
Thank you so much, I am so glad that you enjoy them, I don’t think tarot at its core is complicated, we can layer onto it and make it complicated if we want, but the heart of the system is beautifully clean! I do have classes, you can see which ones at www.thetruthinstory.com/classes !
First: This title is SO FUNNY! I ❤️ your humor. And then second and on thank you so much for sharing this. I was just going through this in my mind last night before I went to sleep. And I had this epiphany that connected the numbers to the majors, I know I know what took me so long? Anyway, this was great, helpful and insightful. You are a gem. :) Maybe I should start calling you Professor Kelly. I really feel like I am attending a college level lecture when I listen to your videos.
Aha, Professor Kelly, I was trying to get there lol, but I am very glad that you found this helpful and I appreciate the person who appreciates my humor LOL :D ::HUGS::
This, is hands down, the very best video I have even seen on explaining the tarot! Thank you so much! And if you ever come out with a book, sign me up on the pre order list :D
Kelly, thank you, thank you, thank you! This is like a video book, exactly what I needed right now and cleared up so many questions. Amazing of you to share your knowledge, thanks so much.
I learn so much form watching your channel. Thanks for all time and energy that you put into your videos. I love your very forward take on Tarot and Divination.
I will have to sit with the #8 and #11 -- I see your point of view clearly. I relate #11 with #2 so on and so forth. For example, Let us take #4 THE EMPEROR which is Construction & Stability - going to #13 DEATH Destruction & Disability -- going to #22 THE FOOL which is Formation & Instability. To me the Innocence of Fool to Experience of the Emperor to Acceptance of Death has a certain appeal. Also with #6 THE LOVERS which is Good Choice (Heart) to #15 THE DEVIL which is Bad Choice (Mind) that shapes our lives have a strong relationship with numerology number 6 standing for Harmony. So on and so forth but it is nice to see where you are coming from and how our view points differ but generally speaking more or less on the same page.
I agree that you can make a case for different numerological view points, which makes it really a fascinating subject and certainly one that deserves a good thinking on to sort out how we view it! But I agree, we generally land on the same page or close by :D
Yes, very much I can see the seasons changing depending on where someone is from! I can also see reasons other people pick other associations, it's not something that highly impacts my reading but I do find it interesting to mull over!
Kelly, Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate how you explained everything. I always like getting different perspectives. It gets the brain juices flowing!
I'm a newcomer to Tarot. Wow, you've covered loads of great information in this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. BTW, it was Katie Flowers, in one of her videos, who directed me to your channel.
I love listening to how you talk about tarot! I also like to look at the Trumps in pairs like you do (I and XI, II and XII etc.), they refer to each other beautifully! The whole system is so beautiful.
Great to hear how Tarot works for you and how you approach Tarot. I also love when decks don't number the Major arcana. Loved this visual demonstration. Also, the Marshmallow Marseille looks so adorable! Thank you for sharing your perspective. -Soren
I also see suits and seasons like you. Sometimes I can see cups as autumn, and coins as spring...depends on the deck. Fits also :) It's raining here heaps in autumn too, and things grow in spring...but personally I tend to see it like you. If the deck shows a specific season on the picture though, I'll go with the pic. For example Wands in Maat tarot are covered with snow! I struggle but then think- Im a Sag, Im born in winter but Im full on fire...As you said- as many systems as tarot readers. :) A great undertaking! You are amazing!
Kelly, this was amazing! I was just thinking that it would be great to hear your take on all the cards. I've picked up tidbits here and there from your other videos but having it all together here is a huge help. Thank you so much!
Thanks 🙏Kelly !!! This video is so consolidating of so much information and traditions ~ I’m on round two of watching 😊✨🙏 ~ and of course now have to buy the Marshmallow Marseille 😁
I lately read something also very interesting: 1 + 2 = 3, if one and two come together and meld, they create something new. But, if they do not meld, just stand beside each other, you get 12, which is the hanged man, who also stands for stagnation and long periods of waiting. Fascinating.
@47:44 I don’t like children in most of my oracle or tarot decks either 😂😅🤣 … on a more serious note though, I think it’s a problem on the sun card because it eludes that one must have a child who would then make one happy and not everyone has that fortune, also the sun can be too hot so indirectly there could be a sense of “too hot for comfort”. Similar to the empress card, representing fertility through her being pregnant, many women and “female” identifying individuals including non-binary genders are not able to get pregnant due to a number of reasons - and not only that but women are more than just “baby making machines”. Just thought I’d bring that up to help you along 😉
Oh yae Kelly this was great i agree so much with everything you said i too think it makes sense when you line up the cards and it was great using Thelema my new deck from Christmas. Thank you for sharing yr. wonderful knowledge ...it's so easy to follow you Kelly.
Hi Kelly you know i love all your stuff Kelly and yr. musical voice too. My new deck is so much easier to read than The Elemental Tarot. It's almost too simple but does tell it like it is ....so i am grateful and soon will decide what La Normand deck to get .....i really love tarot too Kelly. Happy New Year to you Kelly xoxo
Excellent job indeed !! I share your vision of the tarot 100%. First I used only Major Arcanas of the Marseille and then I discovered the Minor with the R-W-S and now I'm going back to the whole Marseille but... I wonder how to come back to the Pips free of their Rider interpretation ! Do you happen to have a video on that subject ? I believe some have the same meaning like the 7 of swords wich is about imagination and illusion... I am deeply interrogative on that matter. By the way, I'm a french guy. I do those research in english like it wasn't hard enough ^^
And the tower being a 6, well, it is a 16, which is a 7, and there you have the disruption that leads to new growth. That is also the case with death. 13 being 4, which death can be read as total stagnation of life, a 4 on the next level. ☺
Hi Kelly, an amazing video, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I seemed to have missed it, what deck is this? I'd love to order it. I already have the Ancient Italian on the way following your recommendation
if the suit & elements switch for certain decks (e.g. swords & wands swopped), when using those decks for readings, would you read them as traditionally (i.e swords = air) or as what the deck illustrates (i.e. swords = fire)?
Good question, I have to say that the decks I read with are all workable in the way that I see the suits so it's not an issue, there is one deck I like to read that swaps them, it uses the Picard minors, but I just read them the way I normally do :D
When I was learning tarot my friend, to help me remember the queens said Q of Pentacles: Martha Stewart Q of Cups: Oprah Q of Wands: Michelle Obama Q of Swords: Hillary Clinton That always helped me out lol 😂

I see the suits and the seasons in the same way, although for different reasons based on what is happening in my area. Interesting!
Yes, very much I can see the seasons changing depending on where someone is from! I can also see reasons other people pick other associations, it's not something that highly impacts my reading but I do find it interesting to mull over!
I loved these tips and tricks please keep doing these
Kelly, Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate how you explained everything. I always like getting different perspectives. It gets the brain juices flowing!
I am more than happy to help get brain juices flowing! :D Thank you for watching!

Joseph Gutwirth I’m so glad that you enjoyed this video, Joseph, thank you so much for saying so!! 😘
Hi,
Just came across your video. Not new to tarot but I love the way you break down & explain everything.
Btw I love the cards you use in this video!

I love listening to how you talk about tarot! I also like to look at the Trumps in pairs like you do (I and XI, II and XII etc.), they refer to each other beautifully! The whole system is so beautiful.
It really really is a gorgeous system, I can't get enough of it!! :D

Isn't it adorable? I love having one this size! And I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing how I approach the basic core of tarot! ::HUGS::
I also see suits and seasons like you. Sometimes I can see cups as autumn, and coins as spring...depends on the deck.

waldfrauke Yes! I have gone through them that way as well and also find it fascinating!!

Awesome lesson - thank you!
Aw thank YOU for taking the time to watch, I'm glad you found it helpful!!
Very informative and helpful~ Thank you.

Really in the marsaille, there isn't any suggestion of an elemental association in the illustrations.
And the tower being a 6, well, it is a 16, which is a 7, and there you have the disruption that leads to new growth. That is also the case with death. 13 being 4, which death can be read as total stagnation of life, a 4 on the next level. ☺
That is how I see it Numerology wise.
Hi Kelly, an amazing video, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I seemed to have missed it, what deck is this? I'd love to order it. I already have the Ancient Italian on the way following your recommendation
Kelly, do you know when you are going live next?
Beautiful deck.
Agreed! :)
Very good video. Thank you
Excellent!
if the suit & elements switch for certain decks (e.g. swords & wands swopped), when using those decks for readings, would you read them as traditionally (i.e swords = air) or as what the deck illustrates (i.e. swords = fire)?

Does anyone know what deck is she using? I know it's a Marseilles but what version? Please. Thanks
Marshmallow Tarot
You said it was 2018 and I thought, man in this video you has never heard of C19.
When I was learning tarot my friend, to help me remember the queens said
Q of Pentacles: Martha Stewart
Q of Cups: Oprah
Q of Wands: Michelle Obama
Q of Swords: Hillary Clinton
That always helped me out lol 😂
Gabe Chacon that's actually a big help lol,very awesome. What about the kings or other courts ?
