I was looking through my Gilded deck and I noticed a few things on the court cards that I thought I’d share.
Pages:
All are wearing hats or caps of come sort. They appear to be the only really individuals of the courts not really tied in by similarities between them between the suits as the others are. The queens seem to be most similar.
Knights:
All have their visors down so that you can’t see their faces. All the horses except the Knight of Wands are grey. Also all the knights except the Knight of Wands have an animal on their card aside from their horse. The Knight of Pentacles has a rabbit. The Knight of Swords and owl and the Knight of Cups a mouse. Why is the Knight of Wands singled out? Different horse and no other animal.
Queens:
None are enthroned. They are all standing to their left of the collum that appears in every queen card. Also all the cards have clouds in the background. No sunny and clear skies for these queens yet you can feel as though they are really the power behind the throne. Let the Kings float around on their thrones the queens can rule things quite capably from the ground.
Kings:
None of the thrones touch the ground they all sort of float in mid air. Perhaps they are loosing control of their kingdoms? They have the symbol or part of it for each suit on the back of their throne. The end bit of the wand for the King of Wands. The pentacle for the King of Pentacles and The scroll work on the King of cups seems to match the pattern on cup of the Ace of Cups. The King of Swords however doesn’t. He has a star pattern on his throne instead.
Any thoughts or other observations?
