Tarot Card Meanings with Benebell is going to be an educational video series covering the 78 keys or cards of the tarot, showcasing the distinct attributions for four different deck systems: the TdM, the RWS, the Thoth, and my own deck, the SKT.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Here are my objectives for the course:
(1) Facilitate familiarity of the TdM, RWS, Thoth, and SKT so you become proficient at reading any and all of the four systems,
(2) Offer a card by card primer designed to help memory retention of the key meanings in a more visually engaging way than studying them out of a book, and
(3) Supplement your course work with Holistic Tarot (North Atlantic Books, 2015).
COURSE FORMAT
The series will be designed for visual learners. The video format also benefits auditory learners. However, if reading comprehension is what you need to help with retention of what you’re studying, then turn on the Closed Captioning for the video. You will also be able to read the written transcript of each installment.
The videos themselves will try to stay on topic, i.e., only focus on the card meanings and attributions. I’m also trying to be wary of video length, so I will have to leave out a lot of details and aspects. My hope is you are supplementing these videos with a trusty tarot reference book (or multiple books…) and so the general overview these video lectures offer will suffice.
Each video installment will come paired with a written post where I can add insights that I believe are important as you develop your understanding of the card attributions, but might be a little “off topic” and so I didn’t want to address it directly in the video.

I love the concept… and I love the “small bites” or should I say “single dishes” .. yes.. single dishes is far more apropos. We can savor the different notes in the dish as you walk us through each of the four systems for a particular key.
And you absolutely should charge something for the series. That’s a *huge* time investment if that 20 minutes for the Aces is any indication… and that doesn’t even account for your knowledge and perspective.. which is, in my humble opinion… singular. You give us so much for no cost! An example is I just put in my order for the Bone Script book and deck three days ago… you charged nothing for all that time and effort you put into getting those files created and formatted to make our orders painless. And that’s just ONE example of the many offerings you have for us. IOW.. not everything you do need be free 😉 Let us support your efforts on our behalf!

This really works for me! I just ‘discovered’ tarot a few months ago and comparing the same cards, in different decks, is proving to be a great way to learn about the cards for me.
(And you should charge us. It’s not that I can’t find enough ways to spend my money 😉 but I would gladly pay for this kind of content from you!)

I’m also really excited about this series that you’re doing! No matter whether you charge or not, I’ll do my best to follow with notebook in hand! The decks that resonate with me the most with what you did with the Aces are: the RWS, Mary-el and SKT. Looking forward to what comes next!

THANK YOU!!! I had been looking for this exact information!
Seeing all of the different Tarot Styles, side by side, really does clear up so many questions that I had. Not all 3 are the same but there’s a thread. I still want to really deep into numerology with this series in the back of my mind.
Does anyone have a prefered style to use for specific types of readings? Like TdM for more intuitive readings or RWS for every day questions…
