Tarot in Media

I don't know which livestream it was, i looked at the time but no clue where It was tweeted 3 days ago. What caught my eye at first was john edwards support. So i read the tarot lady tweet and she shares she was blocked. I was not sure what to title this post. But i think it is important. In the past on psychic reading site, i saw couple of times a person would just go into advertising spiel instead of geniunely trying to help the person.

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone listens to the Antifragile Tarot Podcast? I only discovered it the other day, but it's been around since 2017 or so and I must've listened to at least a dozen episodes already. The website is here: https://antifragiletarot.libsyn.com/ but it's also available on Spotify (not sure about other streaming services). The thing I really love about it is it has a queer, secular jewish witch for a host, which means the approach taken is intersectional, progressive, inclusive, and sensible. She does talk about her magickal practice a bit, but there's plenty of focus on tarot too, and some very frank advice on contentious issu…

Hi, so I've been a Persona fan for a long time, and although I credit coming across a certain novelty deck at a convention for getting me to try Tarot for myself, I credit this series for instilling that interest in me to begin with, even if I didn't act on it until just over a year ago. I have recently been playing Persona 5 Royal, as I got the Digital Deluxe version of its sequel when it came out and figured now would be the time to finally get into the Royal version. As someone who now practices Tarot, the scenes with Chihaya are now especially interesting to me, and I think her fortune telling prowess is quite embellished. Anyways, I've been quite intr…

I came across this video ---its' the new Dior 2021 spring collection and it is inspired by the Major Arcana! Looks beautiful as is to be expected! It's January but I hadn't seen it being posted here before so thought I'd share 🙂 - Ashtoreth

I was wondering if some of you have bought the book: 36 Secrets: A Decanic Journey through the Minor Arcana of the Tarot by T. Susan Chang Information from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/36-Secrets-T-Susan-Chang/dp/1716325099 The minor arcana of the tarot have an astrological secret: 36 of them, in fact. In the early 20th century, members of the British secret society of the Golden Dawn created what would become the world's best-known tarot deck: the Rider Waite Smith tarot. They also created an infrastructure of esoteric correspondences around the deck, assigning each minor card numbered 2 through 10 in each of the four suits, to a decan—a 10°…

Hello, i remember seeing a Tarot deck with many famous celebrities like Madonna and Prince on some cards, i can't remember the name of it now but i'm guessing there have been so many. I recently bought the David Bowie Tarot deck which was fascinating and there was some Star wars Tarot images lurking around somewhere online. Are there any more celebrity decks that can been seen anywhere.

I saw something slightly amusing recently - I rewatched 1995's "Hideaway" for the first time in many years. It's a goofy yet entertaining thriller, based on Dean Koontz's book (although Koontz hated it and disowned it, since it turned his grim horror novel into something of an action film). At any rate, there is a scene in which the protagonist visits a medium to try explaining odd visions that he has been experiencing. She senses the presence of a powerful entity about him, and then realizes that there is another presence, sinister and malevolent, following him and quickly closing in. She uses a Tarot deck in the scene, and since "Hideaway" is a US film, there was a…

Hi, everyone. I am glad to have discovered the forum, and to have become a participant. The Navajo had a saying that whenever one comes to visit, it is a good habit to bring something with oneself, be it even something as simple a smile. Therefore, I thought that for my first post here, I would bring something, and I would make it a subject that seems to have interested quite a few collectors of Tarot in the past - the HBO's series "Carnivàle". Those who remember it no doubt recall the importance of Tarot, and the unforgettable opening of the show, with its mysterious, painted deck that turned into living panoramas. There have been many discussions…

I accidentally came upon Lo Scarabeo's 3 part Encyclopedia (Fundamentals/Experience/Compendium). What attracted me was the artwork and the volume I must say *drool*. I like big books and I cannot lie. ☺️ You can get a glimpse from the inside, but not enough to determine wether it's worth it to spend money on. I can imagine since it's published by a publisher specialised in all things tarot that it's not. I haven't seen it on any lists as recommended either. Does somebody have a copy?

I decided to delete this post, but I see it can't be deleted except by a moderator. So I edited it out instead.

I've been searching, but I seem to be too dumb to find the right keywords to google - I keep getting forums, reading offers and videos and other products vaguely related to Tarot. And, of course, a few sites I'm sure aren't quite legal. And a whole bunch of stuff for phones, which is not what I want at all. All I could come up with is Visual Tarot and Visual Oracle, but they are way too expensive as you have to buy them separately. Plus, it is not clear if it even supports unconventional deck sizes, they only show 36 and 78 card decks as options. My self made deck has double the number. I do not really need or even want card interpretations, spread…

Has anyone else played Sayonara Wild Hearts? It's this amazing pop-album rhythm game that came out last autumn to spectacular reviews and also won Arcade game of the year from the 2019 video game awards. The entire game is themed around the Major Arcana and your literally play as the Fool through around 20 stages of phenomenal soundtrack and varied gameplay. It's such an amazing game and only about an hour long if you don't have to repeat too many of the stages. It's like $12 or so and available on most platforms. Here is a full analysis of the game's use of Tarot (spoilers for everything of course): Sayonara Wild Hearts: Use of Tarot in Game Design and Narrative …

I have neither more space nor more money to get more physical books (I actually gave half of my books away when we moved last year) and I have been looking to find free books or libraries but most what I found is either shady or clearly illegal (why has no one closed Scribd down yet?) and you have to pay for on top. The one page which looked legit, as it was a free online library, proved to be violating copyright as well. And while I am well aware copyright laws need to be updated to the reality of a world where basically anything goes, I prefer not to support those who earn money with other people's work. I have literally no money on my own, as I get no disab…

Hi guys! Here you can harvest a few decent Tarot books: Links removed by staff due to copyright issues Put in "Tarot" into the search function and a few more titles come up. I also found a few nice Bird guides and other goodies 🙂 Enjoy 🙂 Staff edit: I know this was a genuine mistake so no worries, I just removed the links.

Here is a list of publication dates and materials on the tarot published before the 90's: Unknown Book T - The Tarot by Golden Dawn (some say MacGreggor Mathers & Harriet Felkin?) 1888 The Tarot: A Short Treatise on Reading the Cards by MacGreggor Mathers 1892/6 The Tarot of the Bohemians: The Most Ancient Book in the World by Papus 1911 The Pictorial Key to the Tarot: Being Fragments of a Secret Tradition Under the Veil of Divination by A.E. Waite 1913 The Symbolism of the Tarot: Philosophy of Occultism in Pictures and Numbers by P.D. Ouspensky 19…

Hi all! I started a YouTube channel but haven’t had much time to post anything ... until now! Received my 5 Cent Tarot and love it and wanted to try my hand at an unboxing video. Learned a lot with just this one - first I’m not sure how the quality turned out... not sure if it’s my connection or the upload itself that is not the quality I thought it would be so if someone wouldn’t mind giving me feedback I would welcome it! Also, I took my time when drawing the cards and reading through all the upright and reverse meanings because it was my intent that I wanted to leave the image of the card up for a bit so someone watching could really see it - but it ended u…

I've struggled with pulling the 3 of swords card in a reading for myself and have witnessed others squirm when I pulled the card for them. I took a dive into the imagery to try and pull some positivity out of the card... https://youtu.be/UKltof2X-rI

TTM Fam, Spirit Science, the creator of Patch Tarot, has launched an absolutely free webinar on the secrets of the Tarot. It's here: https://www.patchtarot.com/10-secrets-day-1 I am enjoying it immensely.

Hello, you have probably seen videos where just the card(s) and the reader's hand appears in the video. How is this done? Smart phone with a tripod? I would very much appreciate advice as to what set up I need to be able to do these kind of simple video readings. Thank you! Juna

Over the years, I've read a great many books about tarot, but only a few of them have I actually kept. For those who use the same technique of keeping the collection pared down to only the ones that for you have been the best, what is on your tarot shelf? ETA: Or, if you are someone who keeps everything, which books, in all honesty, are the ones that had the greatest impact on you and are your most treasured? My shelf contains (ie, these are the ones I kept because they are my most treasured): Ben-Dov, Yoav. The Open Reading. CreateSpace, 2011. Calvino, Italo. The Castle of Cross Destinies. Translated from the Italian by William Weaver. Vi…

Do you know any good resources for finding images for entire decks? Now that I no longer have a scanner, this would be so helpful. Tarot.com does have some complete decks reproduced. I can find some individual card images on Pinterest.com or by Google searches. Thank you.

I no longer have a scanner and have been hand photographing cards with my smart phone for professional readings and social media. Can anyone recommend a good method to get a great result? Tripod maybe? Scanner app? What do other people do? Much Thanks.

There is going to be a limited edition MAC make up range with tarot cards on items from famous internet South Korean Make Up Artist Park Hye-Min (AKA PONY).

Okay, so I didn't see this topic anywhere, I hope I didn't miss it. One of my guilty pleasures on YouTube is watching Antphrodite, a tarot reader who does celebrity/pop culture/true crime readings on YouTube and Twitch. Although I think they're fun, when I first saw them, I had some questions about the efficacy of celebrity tarot readings, so I would like to talk about it and see what you guys think. Basically, when I was first learning to read, the woman who taught me told me that you should not "read" someone without their permission because that violates a boundary and their personal space (and also it is very difficult to tell if you are getting accurate inform…

(Forgive me if this doesn't belong in the Tarot in Media section (this almost feels like... Media in Tarot!)) I recently did an interview with my deck and started to understand a lot more about the personality I was working with! I was thinking... "Gosh, these traits remind me of someone... or some kind of... character archetype" and then I realized that I was thinking of characters like Mr Tumnus from the Narnia books and Dobby from Harry Potter. Obviously, I didn't marry these characters to the deck, but seeing a visual for the traits of earnest, wholesome, wanting to do well, believing in others, helpful, kindhearted, and a little self criticizing, that I f…
