I'm studying the Gilded Tarot deck. I got through the Major and Minor arcana just fine, but the courts are giving me difficulties even with book in hand. Are there any tips on learning the court cards?

This is what I done with my usual deck (cosmic)~I like all the court cards in my deck as they're all full facial images of each,and I kinda get a better idea of what behaviour/characteristics each one has. I especially love the swords/pents courts in this deck,there definitely my faves.Marina said:Court Cards get easier only with practice. No book really helps in the end, 'cause then you have to memorize meanings or personality traits, and that's never good.
I advice for you to grab a notebook and your deck and go through each court card. Write down what you see in each card.This way, the Court Cards will stop being just cards with meanings and will become characters... like people you know. And when you see them on a spread, you will somehow know what they are telling you.
Is it easy? No. Fast? No. It takes some practice. But it'll help you more than the book. Meet your court cards, don't just read about them.
