The 'Court Cards'

The People in the Cards

 These cards are where the messages and the teaching of the Tarot apply themselves to us, and to people in our world.


They are also the cards that can represent you in the sort of reading I do most often.

When I ask you to choose a card to represent yourself, feel free to choose any method that works for you.


You can 

  • read the descriptions, and see which applies to you, or 
  • you can look at the cards and see if one card 'calls out' to you, or
  •  if all else fails, you could rely on a formula - Page for people below 25, Knight for active people  Queen for nurturing people, King for older or authoritative people. Then Cups for blonde, blue eyed people, Rods for brown haired people, Swords for black haired pale eyed people and Pentacles for people with dark hair and eyes.
