I am definitely going to refer my students to it. :) Storm This is probably one of the best posts that I have ever seen on Court Cards. I am definitely going to refer my students to it. :)

Nice to see you :-) Do you remember sometime this summer when we talked about court cards and you shared your thoughts and class materials? This is what I was working on! "Observing" and "learning" are kind of similar, but observing is more passive, I think. Thanks for the recommend! Hi Teresa! Nice to see you :-)

I like your assignment of the Pages=learning, as the beginning of the Court Cards, and as in life, learning is usually the first thing we do in anything new in our lives. And yes, the lovely queens, nurturing and protecting also I feel, shelter too. Thank you for recommending my Tarot blog to CompTarot - I shall take that as a huge compliment and let this silly grin sit on my face all day :D Hi Teresa – thank you for such a great comment, I’m sure Barbara will be delighted that you both see things the same way with regard to Court Cards.

Rather than people or personality traits, this methods allows you to differentiate among the ranks by what they do. My keywords are slightly different, for example Pages = learning, Queens = nurturing but otherwise very similar approach. Folks on CompTarot are finding this more intuitive than many other approaches we've discussed, and I've recommended your excellent blog to their reading pleasure :) This is definitely the way I have come to view/work with court cards, although I also like the dual-element approach.

Explore and enjoy! I hope you are enjoying the Gilded Tarot; I have a very soft spot for that deck. And l like Josephine's down-to-earth manner. That big spread is big! It might be overwhelming, but at some point, when you feel up to it, give it try! I actually really like it. Plus you can incorporate ideas from Catherine's work...elemental dignities and such (read her articles on her Signature Spread). People in the tarot community are really friendly and helpful. You can "meet" them on twitter or facebook or various forums. Have fun! Barbara Margaret, you will find much on this site to help and inspire you! Explore and enjoy!

I have the Gilded Tarot and the book by Josephine Ellershaw - it's a nice book and not too heavy, it will be of great help to you, though I wouldn't try that big spread at the back of the book just yet! The Joan Bunning book is also great for beginners and you can <a href="http://www.learntarot.com/" rel="nofollow">download her course for free</a>. I pretty much have the whole thing printed out, in folders and often refer back to it. If there's anything I can help you with at anytime, please just drop me a line :) Hi Margaret – thank you for such a lovely comment.

I am just at the starting point of learning the Tarot cards using the "Easy Tarot Handbook" by Josephine Ellershaw with the "Gilded Tarot Deck" by Ciro Marchetti. I will keep your article Barbara, so that I may refer to it to add to my learning. Anything, to make learning easier is great! I was on Amazon and found this website here through them; so this is my first time on this site. This is a treasure trove & I thank you Catherine for the site. Barbara and Catherine:

I understand about not jiving with a card. For me it is the High Priestess. And in fact I wrote about it just this week (see my last blog entry). She drives me absolutely nuts! But the King of Pents, him I adore! But I love all the pents more than any others. I think of him as Bilbo Baggins. I hope you can make your peace with him :-) It's sure to be an interesting journey!
