by Nikki Mackay on December 1, 2009 · 9 comments

by Nikki Mackay
The Tarot is my first love and continuing passion, its history is entrenched and animated with family, ancestral and archetypal patterns way back to its very roots.
When it is used to its full capacity as a spiritual and divinatory system the Tarot can be an amazing tool for enlightenment, transformation and change. [...]

by Barbara Moore

Do you think about the number of Minors, Majors, and Court Cards and thank the tarot goddesses and gods that there are only sixteen Court Cards? I know I did.

in Reviews

Like many others, I have been watching the progress of the creation of the wonderful Gaian Tarot from Joanna Powell Colbert.

Tarot Court Cards – Knights And Princes

by Catherine on August 5, 2009 · 5 comments

in Tarot Cards

Ranging from adolescents to young adults (and often a little older), Knights and Princes within the Tarot Court cards will almost certainly be male.

Tarot Court Cards – Pages And Princesses

in Tarot Cards

As a group within the Tarot Court Cards, Pages and Princesses represent youngsters. The age ranges can include very young children to adolescents; though I find this a loose association when working with the Princesses of the Crowley Thoth deck.
