I'm very much a Tarot newbie at the moment and am working on getting all those meanings into my head! I find (like a lot of people I think) the court cards to be particularly difficult. One of the books I'm reading suggests matching up the courts to famous people, fictional characters or just people you know so I've been trying that. I haven't got ideas for everyone yet but I thought it would be fun to start a thread on it and see what you guys can come up with! I did a search and there were a couple of similar threads out there but they all seemed to be years old, so hope it's ok for me to start a new one!
These are my ideas so far...
Page of Wands: Lyra (His Dark Materials),
Knight of Wands: Harry Potter, Hercules (Disney)
Queen of Wands: Queen Cersei, Melisandre (GoT)
King of Wands: Gansey (The Raven Boys)
Page of Swords: Arya Stark (GoT), Lisa Simpson, Fever Crumb (Philip Reeve)
Knight of Swords: Sherlock Holmes, Draco Malfoy (??)
Queen of Swords:
King of Swords: Tywin Lannister, Mr Darcy
Page of Pentacles: Hermione Granger, Tiana (Princess & the Frog)
Knight of Pentacles: Stahl (Fire Emblem), Nicholas Valentine (Hot Fuzz)
Queen of Pentacles: Molly Weasley
King of Pentacles:
Page of Cups: Luna Lovegood, Amelie Poulain
Knight of Cups: Tristram Thorn (Stardust), Jay Gatsby
Queen of Cups: Catelyn Stark (GoT)
King of Cups: Dumbledore
I found this surprisingly difficult as just as I think I've found the perfect match-up, I think of a reason they'd fit better somewhere completely different! Would love to hear some more thoughts.
