The Golden Dawn's double element system is decent for broad outline of court personalities but I agree it's not sufficient for a more detailed look. Observing the people around me and recognising traits and attributes of the court cards in them really helped me create my own Tarot Court Family. Thank you for your comment, welcome to Tarot Elements. Catherine HI Andrew,

Another deck which uses the family motif is another of my favourites - the Haindl... I love those cards, just wish the actual physical cards were smaller and easier to handle! I've also found the Meyer/Briggs associations or attributes hugely helpful, but difficult to remember.. Also, elementary associations don't easily yield enough information, but I would have to agree that the technique of finding the court personalities in the people in my life has been the most useful aspect of trying to remember what each card represents. Cheers! Great article, thank you!

It's a beautiful deck and a really nice one to familiar with all the characters in a deck. If you lay the Gilded out in any spread, but particularly a Celtic Cross Spread, and some Court Cards come out, you will be able to see first hand how 'chatty' this deck is. The characters look at each other, not just the Court Cards, but the Major Arcana too - it's like peeking into a whole conversation they're having :) It's also important when you're beginning your journey into Tarot to remember to take it easy, not rush but mainly enjoy yourself. Let your cards speak to you, as they do to each other and you will find that you make some great connections to those cards in a way you never could if you just followed the accompanying book.
