Hi! I just got the Goddess Tarot a few weeks back. I haven't done too many readings with it yet, but so far my experiences have been quite enjoyable. And this is probably a dumb question, but I was wondering about the order of the court cards in this deck (Prince, Princess, King, Queen). I know the order was changed to highlight the feminine, but who goes with what traditional tarot court characteristic? I feel certain that the King and Queen are exactly what they say they are, but I'm not sure about the Prince and Princess. Does the Prince equal the Page and the Princess the Knight? Or is it still princess/page and prince/knight with the card ordering flipped around? Or something else? I can't quite decide. Thnaks! :)

Hey Riversea! Well I haven't even had this deck a week.. so I pulled it out after reading your post. I might be wrong, but from looking at them and thinking over it... I believe the Princess/Page and Prince/Knight with just the ordering fliped would be right.. :) Blessings, Amaya

I've worked with this deck a little bit. It was my deck for morning draws in January. I believe that the orders of the cards are switched, but the meanings are still the same as in the RWS deck. So, it may go Queen, King, Princess, Prince (working down), but a Queen is still a Queen, and a King still a King. There is a lesson in that somewhere I think. :)

I figured that was probably the case. :) Lovely deck!
