Does anyone have the correspondences between the EK and RWS Minors? There's about 20 cards I'm having difficulty matching.

With about two exceptions (where there is a switch-around), the keywords of Egipcios Kier courts and numbered minors correspond with the upright (but sometimes reverse) keywords/synonyms of the Etteilla courts and numbered minors. Sometimes, the correspondence is a stretch, but it's there. Note: This correspondence between EK and Etteilla meanings is only for the minor arcana; not for the major arcana, which correspond more to Tarot de Marseille. It's not a coincidence that there are some matches between Egipcios Kier keywords and the Rider-Waite keywords, as the meanings of some of the Rider-Waite numbered minors are Etteilla borrowings. What EK card is what suit/number: http://www.auroradivination.com/articles/article/704616/9855.htm Etteilla keywords/synonyms for courts and numbered minors: http://www.villarevak.org/td/td_1.htm
