And speaking of some of the symbols on the Rider-Waite-Smith deck... My understanding (such as it is) is that most of the "things" that show up in the pictures in the RWS cards have some symbolic meaning... rivers, streams, ponds, mountains, trees, etc, etc... On the Page of Wands, the Page is wearing a hat with a small red feather in it. What are your takes, understandings of these 2 symbols (the hat and feather)?
I know a crown has several symbolic meanings relating to mastery, achievement, goals, etc... but how about the cap pictured here? Then with the feather... birds (in general), if I recall correctly, represent the soul... or perhaps thoughts taking flight (flights of fancy?) but a single feather?
Your thoughts would be appreciated...
