Product Description
Product Description
Just who are those kings, queens, knights, and pages in the Tarot deck? Generally considered the most difficult part of the Tarot to interpret, they actually represent different characters or personalities that are aspects of ourselves. Two esteemed Tarot scholars unmask the court cards with details not found in any other book. They bring the Tarot court cards to life, showing their full human possibilities.

First Sentence
The Tarot court cards represent four sets of royal couples with their retinues, each in their own domain, which, in playing cards, was marked by a heraldic device (which eventually became the suit emblem). Read the first page

Format:Paperback
I found this book very helpful as a beginner in tarot. Not only is it easy to use, there are throrough explanations of the court cards and it even provides advice for when the card is dealt. I would recommend this book for beginners.

This is a good book to get familiar with the court cards.
Explanations are simple, court cards are presented from different perspectives so you can choose which one goes best for you.
There are also lots of practical exercises to get the grip on theory.
I give 4 out of 5 as I don't consider it exceptional, just a rather fair book to get more info about the court cards.

Rich resource
27 Oct 2005
Format:Paperback
Greer and Little offer the reader a rich portrait of the court cards, culled from wide study and years of practice. Clear basic definitions, comprehensive correspondences and original insights build a book that contains value for everyone, beginner and adept alike. The exercises lead you not just into a greater understanding of the cards, but also to a deeper knowledge of yourself. You will find your own face in these cards, and never see either the same way again. I highly recommend this book.

A book with options...
11 July 2004
Format:Paperback
Most Tarot students will tell you that the court cards are their nemeses and that specialized lessons in this particular area of Tarot would be really helpful. This book isn't formula and it won't tell you just one way to look at the Tarot courts... Mary and Tom describe a multitude of different methods leaving you to choose what works best for you. They include exercises that will challenge how you feel about the court cards. I particularly enjoyed the comparison of the Rider and Thoth courts... something that's never been explained to my satisfaction before. Perhaps some readers don't have any trouble at all with the courts and don't need this book. The majority of us WILL benefit from examining the courts more closely and trying out different methods. This book is an excellent resource.

Excellent!
22 May 2006
Format:Paperback
This is a "got to have" book! Greer and Little offer exercises to assist in learning and memorization of the court cards. Written in a common sensical way and easy to understand. One of the books that held my attention from the introduction. If you struggle with the court cards, as I did, then you need to read this one!
