I want to have a consensus about court cards concerning sex and sensualism. I am taking notes as to explore ideas and concepts for romantic relationship readings.
Here are my thoughts on the suits in general, while not being concerned by the court characters yet.
1. Wands
Sensuality: They like to feel warm and fuzzy inside. They love body contact with others like hugging, snuggling, cuddling and holding hands. They do lots of warm baths and hot showers. Love to be in beds with lots of sheets and blankets. Flannel pajamas or nightgowns and nice fuzzy cotton socks. Terry cloth bathrobes and slippers (houseshoes). Warm milk, hot chocolate, warm sake, hot tea and coffee. Eat lots of soups and stews. They love fabrics such as cotton, flannel, terry cloth, heavy knits. Their wall colors or textiles might be warm, such was reds, yellows, and oranges. Artwork of erotica and religious art...think Madonna. She was a "whore" that wore a cross/crucifix necklace during the late 80s.
Sexuality: Passion without reason. They are more prone to have sex with strangers that they find attractive...one night stands. They can fall in love easily, regardless if the person is good for them or not. They like quickie sex. They may tend to forget to use birth control or safe sex while in the heat of passion. Might have a Madonna-whore complex, because Wands is religious...that means that sex could be a guilty pleasure. So they might engage in threesomes, orgies and fetishes. They are more sexual than sensual. They can care less about romance. Sex is top priority on their list. Orgasm has more importance than love. They are Playboys. They rather sow their wild oates than to be married or in a committed relationship. Sex is just a fun activity. Can be sexually selfish. They are attracted to people who dress ultra-sexy.
2. Cups
Sensuality: They like coolness. Love being near or in water. Skinny dippers (get into a pool, lake or ocean while naked). They love to be surrounded by beautiful things that make them feel calm and relaxed. Perhaps sentimental objects that remind them of their old lover, teenage crush or lost love, such as love letters, photos, scrapbooks. They may even be addicted with divination (tarot, i-ching, psychics) in order to find information on their love life. Use magick for love spells, too. Candles and incense. Pretty fabrics: crushed silk, lace and cashmere. Their home may be cluttered with knick-knacks due to them being so sentimental. Their wall colors and textiles might be shell, cream, pastels, candy or sherbert colors, roses, pinks, peach, lavender, mint, and watery blues. Art work of kittens, children, puppies, romantic couples. Their favorite foods are comfort foods they liked since children...foods made by mom when they were sick, or sweets made by grandma.
Sexuality: They can't separate sex from love. They are really more sensual than sexual. They want a mental and emotional commitment before giving themselves up to someone sexually. They want to feel appreciated as a person. Sex with strangers is an absurd idea. They want to make love to a lover who is also a friend. They are completely concerned if their sexual partner is not sexually happy. They are attracted to people who can seem to be mysterious, effiminant or egnimatic, like the goth-romantic or girly-girl look.
3. Swords
Sensuality: They like to feel the coolness of the air on their bodies. They are naturally nudists. They love silk (because it feels cool), linen, gauze, light knits, and crochet fabrics so their body can breath. Or sleek as leather, vinyl and PVC. They like to keep the windows open. They love cool drinks. They would even eat lots of ice cream in the winter. Strangely, they feel comfortable in scientific and futuristic enviroments, therefore, their home would be surrounded by glass, chrome metals, concrete, lacquered woods, marble, etc. They are minimalists. Their home must have lots of space. Either big rooms or lack of furniture. Their wall colors and textile might be primary colors...white, black, red, blue, yellow, silver, or modern brights...turqouise, neons, fuschia, magenta, etc. If they have art on their walls, it would be of cars, architecture photography, aerial photography, etc. They really don't have favorite foods, because eating is just a function when hungry. They can eat anything.
Sexuality: Their sexuality is intellectual based. They are sexually attracted to a "cold" and distant person, such as an anti-social genius. They prefer people who are not too romantic, but aloof. They might be attracted to people who wear glasses and wear "nerd" or preppy fashion. They can separate love from sex like Wands, but they are more cold about it by participating in S & M, Bondage, roleplay. Perhaps, one can't have love or sex without pain or discomfort as long as if it is consensual.
5. Pentacles
Sensuality: This is the most sensual suit to exist. They are snobs when it comes to everything. They want the best of the best in their home. Things have to be highly ornate or higly expensive, even if it is plain looking, because money and power turns them on. They need to be surrounded by things that boast their ego. Designer, haute couture, name brands, something always new and trendy or old, but classic. Fabrics in velvet, leather, embroideries, silk, antic lace. Curtains, towels and blankets must have tassels. Favorite foods are anything that looks pretty on the plate, such as cuisines. They may like things from exotic lands, such as Buddha statues, Kimonos, art from India, Africa, Thailand, Burma, Mexico, Japan and China. They like exotic foods, too.
Sexuality: Power, money, fame and wealth is sexy. Their affection can be bought, if they are a gigolo or golddigger. Or the they have no problem buying people for love or sex. They want a person who looks like a model, a trophy wife or a man who seems like a great catch financially. They are the most pickiest of all lovers, because only a person who fits their ideals can be their lover. Perhaps they can be shallow concerning love, since the look at a person's wealth, breast size or social status, before considering them as a made. Wall colors may be white, tans, cream, brown, maroon, burgundy, curry, pumpkin, sage, gold, copper. Artwork historical paintings and regional artwork. They may be prone to fetishes, because sexual objects is more important than a sexy human being or getting to know a human being for who they are instead of what they represent.
I would like to hear how you perceive the different suits. You can discuss court characters (pages, knights, queens and kings), if you like.
