Il Tarocco Bizzarro
updated
In this session, I put it out to the universe, Has the correct person been arrested in connection with the 4 lives taken in Idaho?
Compelling results.
No new information has surfaced, so although this video is dated, the information is still relevant.
A method much less subjective than both Spirit boxes and tarot is the method of Spirit Dice.

I did a demonstration reading using the Celtic Cross and the topic was the Royal Family, no one in particular, just an overall glimpse of things to keep an eye on.
Faux pas: I refer to the similarities between the 'Three of Cups' and the Three of Batons. Clearly I meant to say the Three of Swords. My bad.
Just 5 or 10 minutes after I finished my last video (which I released yesterday), I found my 2nd wedding band!
I felt very strongly that the message in the cards was that the ring was intimately close to wear I was. So I gave it one more look in the immediate vicinity where I was sitting. My understanding was spot on and I found my ring in an awkward, but very nearby location.
This video shows how the cards nailed its location.
I also found a little tidbit about the Fool and his dog from fifteen hundred years ago. Is the dog his friend, or is the dog attacking the beggar and chasing him away?
Check it out!!

Thank you for watching. ~ Marilyn
This was a dream I had on Sept 22, 2019.
Ever since then, my daughter and I have celebrated Witchmas on this date.
I created this video primarily for my descendants so that they'd have a testimonial regarding what this day meant to Elle and I, and that this day is part of their heritage too.
Just a few minor observations and things I meant to say in previous videos that I might have forgotten.
Also a correction: I made reference to Carbone with the Sun, it was the Olivo card with the Sun. Not Carbone. If you recall, Carbone was the card with the Moon.
I also make commentary as it strikes me.
A few points I forgot to mention during the video:
In the 5 of Cups of the SB, notice the little dog nipping at the stockings of the young man. Also notice in the 9 of Cups, could that man serpent be a genie? As in granting 9 wishes?
PCS would have seen photographs of the SB deck (created in 1491), when they were on display in the British Museum around the same time or slightly before the WCS deck was created in 1909.

Be forewarned that some of my observations in this video might be offensive. I'm repeating what I've read, please don't be angry with the messenger.
I made some crazy observations that led to some crazy conclusions in this video!
I'd love to hear what you think..
Part 3 Sola Busca: youtu.be/ZV-6WlkGjQI
Part 4: youtu.be/K6WhbrKOjNo
was coincidentally created before a video I did on The Tower card: youtu.be/kQpeVmxaBAk
And... both of those videos coincided with learning the source for the insult word, NIMROD which I learned while watching videos created by @RobWords and @WordsUnravelled which further coincidentally references the Tower card which I had just created a video for...
...and finally, thanks to a viewer who watched my video on the Tower @patreekotime4578 reminded me that Nimrod (or the Latin version of his name) also appeared in the Sola Busca tarot deck and that made me finally go down the Sola Busca rabbit hole.

Here is the link to the unboxing Modrone: youtu.be/t_0AxDvLGyA
From Marco:
Some background information. 😇
Although there are about fifteen groups of Visconti cards, the Decks are 3: V-Brambilla and V-Modrone made for Filippo Maria Visconti and V-Sforza made for Francesco Sforza.
The others are cards copied from the V-S at later times - some are suspected fakes - and not useful for reconstructions, in addition to having a much lesser historical importance.
It is almost certain that these 3 decks had the Majors suite of the same size as the other 4, so 70 cards for Brambilla and V-S (14x5) and 80 for Modrone (16x5).
For the reconstruction I took care to have at least all the missing traditional arcana in order to make the deck usable.
(US.Games shot itself in the foot: how could it have occurred to them not to include Star, Pope and Popess? 😱)
At this point I had 89 cards, as Lo Scarabeo, with 25 Majors of which 6 Virtues... it seemed logical to add Prudence and make 90. 😇
As well known, 6 cards of the V-S were made decades later; personally I reject these 6 cards and did not use them for the remake.
(Actually, My Personal Visconti was expressly made to recreate the deck without these 6 cards! 😈)
With this premise, in addition to Devil and Tower, we are missing Temperance, Star, Moon and Sun.
Self-loan was also used by Bembo to create his court cards.
Look for example at the Queens of Coins and Spades of V-S, or the Kings of Coins and Batons: the same mirrored design.
In short, where possible it is the most correct reconstruction technique (in addition to being the most convenient! 🤣)
Funny note: Star, Moon and Sun use the images that - years ago - I used as a model to create the stylized drawings of the Visconti Homage.
Then I forgot about them and used other subjects for My Personal Visconti. I remembered them while working on the Modrone and recycled them.
Final note: I am perfectly aware that finding several V-S cards in another deck can be annoying.
Fact is, I personally am much more annoyed by the clumsy modern remakes chosen by those who have previously completed the Modrone.
In addition, these remakes do not deviate from the original V-S; if I have to have a rough copy I still prefer the original.
One of the things that makes the Visconti decks special is the expressiveness of the looks - Bembo was a great artist - and in my opinion the looks are the biggest loss of all the remakes of the Visconti decks I know.
Self Loan is a restoration technique, you use a part of the original drawing to recreate a missing detail, for example in the Rosenwald I used the face of the magician, mirrored, to recreate that of the lover.
In this case I used the mirrored image of 3 court cards of Coins in which I replaced the Coin with a Cup or a Wand and changed the color of the dress.
I can't tell you how to get this deck because it entered my life in a mysterious way.
Enjoy!
Marco Benedetti is probably my favorite historic deck creator. I began purchasing his decks when I found him on Gamecrafters and also on Make Playing Cards, and once I saw he began to create quality paper decks, I became hooked!
Marco is prolific and he's mastered a variety of authentic card making techniques.
You may find Marco's decks on his Facebook page where he's listed as Marco Cesare Benedetti. His decks and their fees are all listed there.

For those of you interested in today's reading, here is a rabbit hole that might interest you: youtu.be/ZaTp_sG-ZX8
It pays to read all my description areas, you never know where it might lead you!
I also want to acknowledge that in the beginning of the video I thank you for returning after watching the video from the day before, because it was a rabbit hole of a political nature and consequently, controversial. As you may have guessed, I still haven't released those videos. However, if you are interested, here is the link to yesterday's video which I still haven't released. (It is unlisted) However, by giving you the link, I believe it will allow you to connect to it and the other video links I'm referencing.
Not all messages are for all people and I certainly don't want to get into a pissing match with anyone. Therefore, I'm surrendering to the universe that if these 3 other videos are intended for you to see, I am offering you the links to do so.
Here is the first video link, which will link you to the other 2 videos if you decide to check them out. I understand that it's a bit convoluted, but as I mentioned, not all messages are for everybody. youtu.be/ZaTp_sG-ZX8?si=WrlMS3_0ohGfmNFa
The wonderful Spanish Tarot used in this demonstration reading was published by Fournier which is a favorite of mine for mass produced Tarot decks.
I know a lot of people like decks without humans because it eliminates the lack of diversity that historic decks tend to have.
Yep, I said XV when my brain saw XXV, but I'm not prone to redoing videos for slips of the tongue.
I have observed that this deck is currently available on Amazon for under $20! It doesn't have all the fun extras, it now comes in a simple tuckbox, and it's possible they've changed the cardstock, but the art is the same.
***It has been brought to my attention that the Amazon deck might be a knock-off from China. Please be aware of that possibility. I do not condone purchasing knock off decks. ***
If you're interested in acquiring beautiful tarot decks for your collection, the current price might not be a bad investment.
If any of you buy it, please let me know how the cardstock compares. My copy has a very nice quality linen cardstock.
Here is my original video which is very blurry for some reason.

I thought that I'd present this deck to those among you who aspire to purchase this deck, to help you decide if this deck is worth shelling out your hard earned clams. It is a lovely deck with many well thought associations and must represent exhaustive research by the curator, JD Hildegard Hinkel
For those who might enjoy seeing a comparison between the Rola Nordic (currently out of print) and the Inversion Tarot which is US Games Systems Inc ode to it, Here is the link to my comparison video of the two decks:
youtu.be/aoCKPMzAPr0
I have been informed that the Delphi is most certainly out of print, so for those of you who'd like to see every card before shelling out big clams to purchase it, I'll do a video to showcase it because I don't think I've ever done one for it.
Here's Part 1:
youtu.be/FThr9k-PMKs
Deck Used from @ArtisanTarot tarotclarity.com
I made reference to an actor and the first time I referenced who he was I gave the last name of Russell. There is no actor named Kirk Russell. Who I meant was Kirk Douglas. Kurt Russell, a completely different actor, wasn't even alive in 1949.
My 2nd error was fixating on 1946 and 1953. This event occurred in 1949. I probably fixated on 1953 because I made reference to Marilyn Monroe being a starlet and 1946 because that's the year my husband was born. For these reasons I considered redoing the entire video. But because I had done the reading, I really don't like doing multiple readings on the same question, so I let it stand.
I still don't understand why the handbag would have been found in Echo Park if what the cards suggest happened, really did happen. Why was her handbag found there? Frankly, I should have done a reading on that as well. Maybe next video.
OVERVIEW:
In 1946, a young starlet went missing and her remains have never been found. Her name was Jean Spangler.
This video discusses the few scant details that may or may not have been relevant to what happened to this young woman.
As always, I ask the universe what we need to know, which isn't always everything there is to know, so keep that in mind.

Hi Marilyn! Thank you for this comparison video. 😊 I have a few things that I noticed about the colouring. We used two versions of the original deck from the National Library of France as reference. As you mentioned at the beginning of your video, the same woodblocks were used for those two decks and the one that you show in the video. Although I noticed that the stenciling is not the same, so some colours may be different. For example, the blue droplets on the Sun and Judgement weren't coloured on the originals that we used, so I made them yellow. On yours, they are blue. On the King of Cups, the ground doesn't have any blue either. There are also differences on the Ace of Coins, Page of Cups (bottom part of his dress) and many others. On card 13 (on the versions that we used) the grassy areas are green, except one which is yellow. I think originally all of them meant to be yellow (like on your version). I can tell because the stenciling is not precisely made, they just made the whole ground area yellow. They do this when there are many small areas that have to be the same colour. Instead of doing it one by one, most of the time they colour the whole surrounding area knowing that the black ink from the woodblock will cover what wasn't meant to be yellow. On yours, the grass was stenciled separately. How interesting! 🤔 On the two decks that we used, the black is not as strong as on your version, so the yellow peaks through. That's the reason why I added that yellow gradient on the ground. It might hold a meaning for some people (for me too), so I wanted to keep it. 😊 You mentioned the tiles on the King of Coins and Cups. I love these extra details too. Also on the Queen of Batons, the texture and fuzziness of her hair and fur cape is one of my favourites. Same on the legs of the Devil. I always appreciate it when I see any pattern or texture on these cards. It shows that they put that extra time into carving it. ❤️

The Fortitude card is a favorite card connecting my mother, my daughter, and myself. I think these cards aptly depict inner Fortitude and what we're made of.

Here's how I salvaged a very stinky deck (and its box) by eliminating its terrible odor. This was a last-ditch effort kind of thing. I came close to throwing the deck away, but I wanted to salvage it and this solved my problem.
Spraying it with perfume or storing it with a dryer sheet were not options for me because I wanted to eliminate the odor completely, not cover it with another stinky odor. Perfume and dryer sheets give me headaches.

I was struck by its high quality production and I was attracted to the concept. It still has a soft spot in my heart. I haven't used it in years but when I saw it while perusing my decks, I thought it deserved a revisiting.

I hope you agree.
William Radar and Krisztin Kondor are the folks behind this publishing group.
The decks over at Artisan Tarot are moderately priced. Not inexpensive, not cost prohibitive. Somewhere in the middle.
I also have an Artisan Tarot playlist featuring all their decks.
One item I failed to mention that they have on their website is a variety of tarot talks and lectures, one of which is mine! The lecture I gave is one that I'm very proud of and it's still available on their website along with other lecturers: https://www.ArtisanTarot.com
Regrettably, I failed to mention their 22 card FF Solesio tarot deck (sitting on my table, how did I miss it?) from the Piedmont region of Italy. I showcased it in a recent video and I also did a side-by-side comparison of it to a facsimile and it held up very well against the facsimile.
This A to Z is a timely series because I have learned that Artisan Tarot will releasing a new historic tarot deck, the Jerger Tarot, a Besançon style deck and I'm really looking forward to showcasing it once it arrives, so stay tuned!!
Next in my series, B!
