I think this is the right forum for this, but this has been soemthing that has been bugging me for the last oh, 15 years?
Do a lot of people find interpreting Court Cards as people with specific features ( ie light hair, light eyes/ Dark hair, dark eyes) based on their Suit accurate?
I'm a minority, and frankly it irritates me. I know people of all different colors and cultures, and to have 3 flavors of "white" and 1 suit to represent all the other nationalities I know just strikes me as sort of...irrelevant to me. I know there's more inclusive decks, and I realize that tarot was founded in a time and a place where various different cultures were considered rarities, but can we let go of the Suit characteristics being physicial charecteristics, and more like temperment characteristics?
Or am i being too touchy-feely and all inclusive? Is it true to the cards to read them as physical charecteristics (since that was how they were originally created)?
