I absolutely appreciate this documentary....no dramatic music...just knowledge being shared....simple and to the point.

With just a little more special effects this could easily run on the History Channel. It is refreshing to see a person presenting by means of his knowledge and experience without having to use a cheat sheet on KZfaq. Best background on the history of tarot cards I could find on KZfaq. Great work and many thanks Colin!

That was the best explanation I’ve ever come across on the history of the Tarot. Thank you for this video!

New to the Tarot at the young age of 73. I am young at heart, but my old school research habit has kicked in and I need to know the History, before I start anything. Thank You, for concise and extremely informative. I have already ordered your book. Onward, Anne Numrich Murray

I'd love to see the 8 hour version! . . Thank you for making this video, I've been lost in the Tarot Rabbit Hole for years and this has certainly shined a light down this dark tunnel of mystery.

As a deck creator and tarot collector, I appreciate your knowledge and choice of decks featured. Your info is solid. Thanks!

Finally, a scholarly and in-depth exploration of the tarot's history. Every other video I've found is so steeped in the occult side of things that they wholly neglect looking into the history of the pack, and none of them even take the time to critically examine those occult elements. Fantastic video, my only complaint is that you haven't posted more content for me to enjoy! I will certainly be checking out your book very soon.

As a fellow occultist I bow my head to your erudition. I will keep on coming back to this channel. I absolutely love your perspective !!

The video was very fun to listen to, I play it on loop on nights where I can't sleep, like a soothing podcast :) Never thought the history of tarot can be told in such a way that even people with concentration problems like me can follow. Your analogy is one of the best. Thank you so much for your time and work!

Colin Low’s teachings on tarot -oh my what a gift-thank you for getting this recorded and online available to modern tarot students and those forever more. This lecture will be historically useful for centuries-a rare gem in the sea of digital junk.

This is a great lecture for a serious tarot student like me. I don't get tired of searching about Tarot. Thanks for the lesson very interesting

Please make more videos, this was really enjoyable to watch.

Such a well researched, comprehensive, and honest account of tarot's history is sadly a little rare - on all counts. I think you've done an excellent job with this, organizing and presenting the facts with great clarity - a real breath of fresh air. A big thumbs up from me.

Thank you very much Master Merlin! blessings from Mexico, may the divine be with u

Absolutely fantastic way to spend my Saturday night. Thank you so much for this opportunity to get to know some of the history of the tarot. I appreciate your time and attention. Blessings to you, fine Sir. ❤️☀️🙏

I enjoyed that. I knew much already. I have many decks. And I can only read one at a time. I was born on April fool’s day and on Pinterest I collect only the fool card. I have collected so many hundreds. I read the Rider Waite. It is impressed on my subconscious. When I read an ordinary deck of playing cards I see PCS’s depictions. This is true for all tarot decks that I have. I could read the cards the first time I saw them. That was over fifty years ago. I do call myself an entertainer when I read. Thank you, Colin. You are blessed.

Truly wonderful presentation, it's safe to say we're all eagerly awaiting your next video.

Thank you so much for doing this work and sharing you're knowledge. This is so well crafted. I look forward to watching more videos and buying your book!

This was absolutely brilliant, thank you Colin! So informative and in depth!

What a humble man. In this 2019 video at the end he kindly shows the many books that are his sources. But he does not hold up his own Tarot book, Playing the Fool, published 2017, five years prior to this video. Or mention that he has two books on Kabbalah-which he’s studied since 1968. He’s an astrophysicist and worked in computer science and industry. Apparently, he was not able to continue with the Major Arcana videos. Thank you, Colin, for doing Death and The Fool first. Is there a message in that? Blessings.

Thanks for this very helpful tour, Colin. It's probably the single best KZfaq resource on the history of the Tarot (and the only other significant one of the same duration is a sensationalist History Channel documentary narrated by Chritopher Lee). Can't wait to watch another one from you!

Really thorough explanation and I liked the extensive historical and visual references.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video for all of us to benefit! blessings to you 🙏

What a well-rounded video! I've always felt the need to visit multiple videos when looking for information on the history of tarot, but this is such a comprehensive summary! Looking forward to more such content :)

Absolutely fabulous explanations on the Tart.Thankyou

Thank you for taking the time to make this! Sending love from Argentina.

As I delve back into tarot and the occult almost 20 years after first "having a go" I found myself wanting more information on the background etc. Thank you so much for this nutshell recap of hundreds of years of information, its a super helpful and really interesting starting point!

Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for, and I’ll be recommending it to others who want to know more about the Tarot’s origins

Wow, such a great talk. The attention to detail is very welcome and rare. Really hope you can get into regular video making 🙏

I loved this video so much, thank you so much for the book recommendations as well. I’m sad to see you only have 3 videos on your channel. I hope to see more from you and I’m excited to check out your books once I am more informed on the topic ❤.

I was already loving your video and then you said you feel sorry for the poor lion, I was like yeah I knew I liked this gentleman lol. hope to see more from you!

Thank you Colin, I really enjoyed your talk, it was fantastic.

Interesting and beautiful. Thank you !

Absolutely brilliant. I very much enjoyed this history lesson on the tarot. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

I could listen to you forever, Mr. Low. I was recently introduced to the tarot reading and your video has been incredibly useful, educational and inspirational at the same time. I am really looking forward to read or watch more of your work here or in any other platform. Thank you again!

Thank you so much for this wonderful talk, I’ve learned a great deal 👌🙏

Thank you! This was very helpful and I enjoyed your presentation 🙏🏼

What an amazing video! Mr. Low, thank you for being such a good teacher, I didn't want the video to end. Can't wait for the next class 🙂

Wow, great material presented eloquently. Painted so many images in my head. Thank you for this video!

Awesome! Super informative and interesting. Thank you!

Wow I love the study themed backdrop you chose for this video.

This was phenomenal! I hope you continue to make videos!

Just a quick note to say thank you. This video was very good; I learned a lot. I would very much enjoy more videos from Colin Low.

Great work Colin, really enjoyed it. Thank you.

I really enjoyed your video .. and plan on checking out a couple of the books you have referenced .. I'll be looking forward to your next video ... thanks for the great listen

I second that this is the best video I have see on the internet about the history of the tarot. I would very much enjoy other videos, if you create them, Mr. Low.

A fantastic lesson, thank you! I learned more from this than any other instructional video I've seen. Quite a gift!

Hands down the best history of the tarot I have ever seen (and I have watched more than my fair share)! Thank you so much!

Thank you Colin great explanation!

I really enjoy this video❤ Thank you for putting so much work on this. Looking forward to more🌷

This was a fascinating program to learn about the Tarot. I look forward to seeing more from the knowledgeable narrator. Thank you.

Thanks Colin for making this video. I've been trawling through loads of videos trying to find facts and this video seems to be the only one that does that.

I am grateful to learn this history sir Colin. You have cleared much confusion with this video. You peak interest beyond the simple meaning of the cards . Thank you so very much for sharing this valuable research. Your generosity is amazing

You are literally a walking tarot course. I am going to explore all of the books and cards you have cited. So excited!!!

Thank you Colin, for your time and for imparting your extensive knowledge regarding the tarot and it's history in such an erudite and accessible manner. During the pandemic I used some of my time to learn and extend my knowledge of regular card games. During that time I learnt to play, amongst other card games, the game of French tarot and became interested in the original deck and it's history. I've started to collect historic decks and it's become a passion of mine. I am not convinced by their use for divination, that said, I wouldn't undermine other people's beliefs just because I don't share them. I do wonder though, regarding divination, whether the cards work like a Rorschach test for some people. Subconsciously reading meaning that's connecting the images on the cards to their own state of mind... Just a thought (if you'll excuse the pun) Anyway, enough of my musings, thank you once again for a very engaging presentation. Thank you.

thank you for this video Colin, thank you for sharing knowledge in a way that is easy to understand!!

Thank you for this great class!

I could listen to this for days... So interesting & informative. Thank you!

I wish you made more videos. You are so nice to learn from.

Loved it sir.. it's a blessing to have you share the details n intrigue facts about tarot.. have saved Ur video n will always refer to it..

Best video about the history of the Tarot on the internet, hands down. Thoroughly researched, sources cited, interesting, informative, captivating. Mr. Low, you should make more videos like this one.

thank you for such an easy to listen to explanation!

This was such a good history. Thank you so much for the book recommendations, and the detail you went into this. It was a refreshing experience, and I appreciated the humor added in.

Thank for sharing your expertise. I have been reading long enough to want to plow deeply into this literature. I look forward to any more work you share and have subscribed and liked.

I love tarot💞 Thank you for this video!!!

I throughly enjoyed that. Please have more conversations like that on your channel

Truly great introduction for a complete starter. Excellent, thank you

Lovely swagger through tarot history, voice and visual poetry.

Thank you for your contribution!

Very informative and contextual. Great explanation and thank you for including your sources!

Thank you for sharing your in depth knowledge of the tarot. I appreciate such detail. Great video. This is why KZfaq is good.

10 minutes into your video & easy to grasp... look forward to finishing it tomorrow very interesting up to this point... love your wizardry locks.....

This was a fantastic watch! Engaging, informative, and beautiful cards. I would be very interested in seeing more.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful travel through tarot history. I enjoyed this so much - great research, great examples, great storytelling. You're a gem. 🖤

Very good! Not only did I learn a lot from your talk, but you introduced me to a number of books that had previously escaped my attention. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, and Amazon, I actually ordered the books while listening to your presentation. And so, your teaching and influence will go on indefinitely in my household. I only wish I could have gotten a closer look at that earring you're wearing!

Thank you very much!!! Very informative and well researched.

Thanks you Very much about This Professional TAROT History Lessön and Professional teaching, This Wisdom is really needed and Falls Stories will go the way of their own. Thanks to MR COLIN LOW again and Happy Days and The most Important GOD bless You....

You did an amazing job. Thank you!

Excellent work Mr. Low! I received my first deck about 20 years ago from my mother, which was the Waite/Smith deck. I wasn’t extremely consistent with my readings until about six years ago. Now I have about 25 decks. “Oracle” as well as (and mostly) tarot. I’ve heard some readers say that there are secret meanings in some of the images and colors on the Waite smith deck. I would love a video, that takes a deeper look into the intuitive meanings behind these symbols. Thank you for a very polished and educational piece on this amazing tools history.😊🙏🏼 - I just found your 2 new videos! Hooray🥳🥹🥂🧙🏻‍♂️

This is fascinating. Ty. Those hand painted cards, the time that must've taken

Wow. Amazing. Thanks a lot

Incredibly informative and superbly presented. Thank you.

I really enjoyed your presentation. Well prepared and engaging, Thanks for sharing w us. Hope you will do more?

Great video. You've open my mind to certain ideas. Thank you so much.

A superb synthesis! Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, sir. This video is so informative it basically saved me years and years of research, especially because I’m such a slow reader. Incredible work!

Thank you so much for this wonderfully researched and delivered history of the Tarot. Absolutely fascinating. I'm an artist toying with creating my own version of tarot - among so many others. It's amazing how accurate the cards can be with a gifted reader. I know this is purely looking at the history - which is wonderful, but I'd love to know your thoughts on the divining powers of the cards and how they work with the subconscious. Thank you so much, I'm humbled by your knowledge and excellent eloquently delivered talk.

Enjoyed this very much. Thanks! Very informative.

Thank you for your scholarly explanation on the history of tarot. I would love to learn more! I wish there were more videos to listen to Hopefully in the future you would consider creating more. There is so much misinformation out there, for those seeking truth, it is refreshing to hear a well researched snd documented account. Thank you sir.

GREAT explanation of the taort's history. A lot of information I've never heard before. 👍 Very knowledgeable.

Thank you for such an informative video! The history of Tarot is fascinating!

Awesome Lecture

Thumb up! A really excellent subject. Great Job. Waiting for another video. Thanks

Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.

finally something i can understand and its lovely how you presented this thank you

Absolutely, excellent video, thank you so much! Looking forward to future ones and I've picked up a copy of your book on hermeticism ... exactly what I needed ... funny that! ;) lol

HAH! I immediately knew it was PAPER! Thank you for this EXCELLENT presentation.

Thank you Colin, really enjoyed your explanation, thank you for sharing your research! Btw, your hair is amazing!

It was very interesting to listen to genuine wisdom and knowledge, from a person that really knows what he’s talking about…not like the 8 minute videos made by influencers that copy and read what they found online. Soooo good to learn with books and real images again, when all around us is just digital and inside the mobil phone! You look like a real professor and I’m very fortunate to have found this video! Thank you so much 😊

I needed this video. I'm looking toward making a video game utilizing the tarot heavily
