I imagine this must be a repeating subject in this forum, but I'll bring it up once more.
It is very common to find this comparison between the Thoth and RWS court cards around:
RWS - THOTH
King - Knight
Queen - Queen
Knight - Prince
Page - Princess
I used to follow this scheme to help memorizing the cards, but the deeper I go on my court cards studies, the more I find it to be inaccurate.
As far as I can see, the RWS kings are out of the loop in the Thoth. According to the theory the Kings are mentioned only as the fathers of the Queens (passive part of their element), which married the Knights (active part of their element). The Princes are sons of the knight/Queen couples, therefore the manifestation of their energies. The Princesses represent the cristalization, materialization of their element.
From this perspective, I see a large gap between the two deck's court cards...
I'd like to hear your opinions.
