Due to the guidelines of Aeclectic, I can not post ‘word for word’ chunks from books, so I have taken the essence of the exercise and changed it to suit our group.
(Moderators, I hope that this is okay)
In Mary K Greer and Tom Little’s book ‘Understanding the Tarot Court’, one of the first exercises is a visualisation, where you imagine yourself walking on a beach. While wandering along, you come across a beach party. The members of the tarot court (in our case, the court characters from the Morgan Greer) make up the group.
Through visualising the scene and looking at the sixteen cards, separated from your deck, they ask these questions -
Which of the characters makes you feel warm and welcome? The one that makes you feel appreciated and part of the group.
In the distance, you see a character that you do not like. He or she makes you feel uncomfortable. Which court character will you do anything to avoid?
Which court in the party are you physically attracted to? The one that you feel drawn to like a magnet?
Which court makes you feel light-hearted and playful as you watch them have a wonderful time on the beach?
Which character do you deeply admire for their depth of wisdom and understanding? You do not want to miss the opportunity of being in this person’s presence. What words of wisdom do they offer you?
(What qualities of each figure made you feel the way that you did?)
I am not sure whether this is a useful exercise for us, but I thought I would get the ball rolling. I know that some of us find the courts difficult to interpret, so I thought we could give it a shot. I think this exercise is here to get us acquainted with the courts of the Morgan Greer, if we are not already. It may be useful for me, as my deck has been lurking in the darkness for a long time.
