Being a massive Thoth Crowley enjoyer got me into pips (I...quickly realised there is something about them about not being as prescribed by people means I do not need to inherit the heteronoramtive bias in the readings created by cishet decks. Also I started to become limited by just RWS). However I still struggle massively. I like learning esoteric stuff and I read Papus and my buddy Wirth and Eudes Picard. As flawed as their systems are, they are systems and they are fun to research. Pips howwever usually leave me behind in the dust. I think the numbers and suit just feels too simple - like I can not dig as deep as I would with one card of post golden dawn systems. I am still struggling on overcoming that aha. Also Majors and Minors feel like massive jump so seeing them in once scene really jumbles my brain. And this video helped a lot! Seeing it work in progress really helped me a lot to feel less guilty about mixing up things. It is really funny my favourite deck is New Choice Marseilles (very white and thin bodied but I still love it dearly ...) Also Ancient Italian tarot is very beautiful ! I think I own more Marseille and pip decks now. I would love to see non marseille pips. I am gunning for Rennesaice tarot by brian williams now - mini scenes greek mythology and pip-ish. I think my dream deck is pip with little scenes that can imply further meaning. Fundamentally I always just read the systems in a mixed way, although with Marseille I will always draw more cards. So it always confused me when people said "Well RWS is always set meaning" because I never read it like that But I should have known I was being a weirdo even with my RWS... This video was definitely enlightening and I hope to read the book and watch more viddys soon!

I used to avoid pip decks like the plague until Thoth and learning Thoth opened me up to both loving the different aesthetics of different pip decks and to a different way of interpreting cards, focusing more on correspondences and card connections, which as as you pointed out, is very freeing.

This was really interesting. I do read TdM and RWS decks differently but there is undoubtedly some bleed between the two for me at times. Enjoyed that you did this with the Gay Marseille, it's such an amazing deck. I finished reading the guidebook for it this week and it gave me even more ways to think about TdM, which I love.

I am quite a visual thinker but I enjoy using Marseille/pip because it forces me to sit with the cards significance beyond my immediate associations with the cards element/number/decan/colours and shapes. If I want to read on a question where I might be tempted to delude myself a little or stay fuzzy, I'll go to a pip deck.

Tom, thank you so much for doing this. I'm not sure I got the answer I thought you were going to give me. I still don't see how the Marseille is broader or more open to more possibilities, but the Marseille feels to me like it's more abstract, like concepts versus actions as applied to people in the RWS. The Marseille feels more like a collection of key words whereas the RWS feels more like sentences containing those words strung together in a storylike way that seem to connect meaning with people doing things in everyday life vs. just pondering concepts around what a word might mean. I guess it's all in the way you think about things. I want the tarot to advise me as a person how to get what I need and visuals of people doing what they do to get what they need feels more direct to me than considering abstract concepts of how to achieve the same things. I guess as I'm a person who needs to connect with pictures of people doing things, seeing that makes it easier for me in a world of people than connecting mental abstractions, concepts, ideas...which makes it feel like complicating language in order to arrive at the same answer. Also, it's more fun/entertaining/interesting to me to watch people doing stuff than looking at clusters of sticks and stones. lol. Oddly enough, my current favorite tarot deck is the Manuscript of Initiation, which is a pip deck featuring fantastical marginalia figures from medieval manuscripts that are anthropomorphic beings human/plant/animal hybrids doing all sorts of crazy antics and the visuals don't connect directly to RWS actions, but add a layer of activity for me that can be intuitive. I tend to read the card according designated suit and rank, translate it to RWS imagery in my head, then layer the medieval drolleries over the top. darksynevyr.com/products/manuscript-of-initiation-tarot I think I was hoping by your claim of getting more from Marseille than RWS, that I'd see numerous examples of things you'd get that you couldn't arrive at with RWS. I still haven't yet. But again, I thank you for presenting this and perhaps others will find it helpful.

Sometimes I pull a card from deck a but see the card from deck b. Earlier today I pulled a card the found it in different decks and what they have in common how it translates between.
