Generally associated with mature women, this age range I feel is becoming wider as more and more younger women become mothers too. It’s safe to say though that we accept [...]

As people they can be seen to be active, even the elementally passive Knights and Princes are the most active of their suit and element (Cups and Disks). You May Also [...]
As a group within the Tarot Court Cards, Pages and Princesses represent youngsters.

It’s hard to believe it, but it’s been a whole year since Tarot Elements burst onto the Tarot scene! I actually set my tarot blog up on 27th April, 2009 but published my first article a year ago today, 30th April, called New Beginnings. A lot has gone on in that time and Tarot Elements [...]
