“Eye-Rhymes in the TdM” - Study Group

Hi all,

I did it! :) :)

Here is our:
“Eye-Rhymes in the TdM” - Study Group
http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?p=4029188&posted=1#post4029188

Please feel free to ask if something is not clear or not the way you'd prefer it. I can still edit the initial post and add something or modify it.

I am really looking forward to our discussions! So please join.

I am coming back in a few hours and post what I see in the first spread.
 

Hooked on TdM

Yay! I'll be joining you there later today. After I pry my eyes open with some tea ;)

I'm going to join you guys over there very soon. I'm sort of in and out these days, with a fussy teething baby, closing on our new house on Friday, and then of course moving. But I do want to study with you all when I can!

Jean, I've been watching that group. Is there a book you'd recommend to understand the concept better?

Hi, there is an ebook that introduces that concept very nicely. It's called Looking at the Marseille Tarot

Additionally (quoting myself here) there are some really cool links (threads/posts) below that were an eye-opener for me. :)


Hi,

I find myself coming back to the writings of Enrique Enriquez, that's also the way I started. I found the Marseille Seekers Thread , which made me curious about the TdM immediately. Most other methods do not acknowledge what is depicted on the Pip-cards themselves - they go for meaning gained from some different sources.. But the pips themselves are so interesting.
Lay out the pip suits from 1 to 10 and see how the vine and the flowers behave. There is so much going on, it's awesome. And the vine behaves very differently in the 4 suits.
Enrique describes it nicely here to get a clue.

I am also reading Yoav's book at the moment, I like it a lot. Matches quite nicely with Enrique's approach somehow.

I bought the e-book that Jean B posted about a few days ago, but haven't had a chance to read it yet. It's short (33 pages) but from what others say, its packed with info and well worth the money. I'll post back here after I've read it!
