Deck Interview: Tarot de Marseille (Jodorowsky)

The Tarot de Marseille is the “original” tarot deck on which other decks are based, and Jodorowsky’s interpretation claims to be referencing a missing source for that, but what that means for many of the cards is up for interpretation.

A Multimodal Approach

Whether it’s for training, teaching, tutoring, or tarot reading, I like to use multimodal approaches in order to get a full picture and rich experience.

I want to give you a brief overview of how I use sensory cues and why I think they can pair beautifully with the tarot.

100 Days of Tarot, Part 1

Because I wasn’t sure what to expect of the 100 days’ experience and I was open to whatever it could be or would be, it made this the perfect opportunity to read a Celtic Cross. BONUS: Life hack at the end of the post!
