![Tarot Divination with Papus [Part 2]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rbc1-PwL0SA/mqdefault.jpg "Tarot Divination with Papus [Part 2]
AUDIO WARNING: The sound quality is even worse than my usual amateur level. =) I have no idea what happened. Apologies. Do not listen with headphones.
In Part 1 of our tour of Papus, I lectured at you and you may or may not have listened to me summarizing the Tarot of the Bohemians in all its arcane glory.
If you missed it, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/FRXyKEmg03M
In Part 2 we’ll walk through a divination approach found in Tarot of the Bohemians (1889). You’ll be separating out the Minors into the four suits, choosing a suit based on the subject matter of the inquiry, casting cards from the suit only, then casting cards from the Majors, all working within a 7-card spread that calls upon the Holy Trinity and the quarternary ROTA.
There is an optional expansion of the basic method where you augment the 7 cards with a 12-card astrological house reading.
If youre an astrology beginner but still want to try out the third-tier 12-card reading operation, work off this supplemental PDF download and reference: https://benebellwen.files.wordpress.com/2019/03/sightsee-the-tarot-papus-handout-twelve-houses-reading-spread.pdf
There are several free supplemental downloads that accompany our Papus tour:
- The Three Septenaries
- Meanings of the Cards (per Papus, as found in Tarot of the Bohemians)
- Twelve Astrological Houses Reading Spread (guides the total astrology beginner through the third tier of Papuss three-operation reading method)
- Reading with Significators
