Halloween Tarot - Court Cards - Page 2

**Grizabella** · 26-10-2008

I went through all the courts and the only one I saw with the shared imagery fall_guy mentions are the Queens all having pumpkins in the card. The rest aren't there. Have you actually gone through and looked for yourselves?

And even at that, the Swords Queen doesn't have a pumpkin, so only three Queens have one in the card. And on one of the Queens cards, she's not even holding the pumpkin. It's way down front almost off the corner of the card.

The Swords Queen has the pumpkin in the clasp that is holding her cape.
I found the other shared imagery,too..The Kings all do have bats, the Knights all have imps and the Pages all have ghosts.

What a beautiful avatar, Hemera!

I'll go back and have a closer look at the courts. You have better eyes than I do.

Yep, they're all there. And these associations are not accidental either. The authors clearly intended to associate Pages with water, Knights with fire, Queens with earth, and Kings with air. Here are a few quotes from the companion book:

Page of Pumpkins (p. 85): "The hovering ghost (representing Water of Earth...) shows the presence of change and fuidity in the Page card."

Knight of Pumpkins (p. 86): "...the fiery imps on his horse's armor give him the energy to keep going."

Queen of Ghosts (p. 102): "At her seaside throne, she holds a pumpkin, showing that her powers are practical and solid..."

Thanks

I have sometimes thought about getting a new one (just for a change) but I just can´t seem to give this one up!
