The Twos: Tarot Card Meanings

This is Video 2 out of 17 in an educational series on the tarot cards. I had intended on calling the series “Learn the Tarot Card by Card,” but a tarot colleague did not like how similar it was to her own card meanings project, “Tarot Card by Card.” Out of respect for her, I’ve changed the series title to “Tarot Card Meanings with Benebell.”

Closed captioning is provided for all videos in this series.

Four different systems of the tarot will be showcased: the Tarot de Marseilles (TdM), the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS), the Thoth, and my own self-published deck, the Spirit Keeper’s Tarot (SKT).
