Weekly Card Princess of Pentacles
Since we’ve looked at this level of Pentacles before, let’s use the Princess of Pentacles for a bit of card combining.
Wait a minute! We’ve seen her before? Remember, there are decks that use Princess instead of Page in the court cards. Tarot Illuminati is one of those decks. So you’ll encounter Princess, Prince, Queen and King in the court of Tarot Illuminati suits, instead of Page, Knight, Queen and King. Same elemental energies, just a different title.
How would our earthy Princess respond when she meets II High Priestess? Perhaps she would understand intuitive mysteries as connected to the mysteries of the natural world.
How about if we put her through a 7 of Swords experience? Is she likely to be comfortable or not with the deception and mental flux associated with that card?
How is she at negotiating 2 of Pentacles? Really imagine her in her robes and with her long, wild hair at the rocky shores, keeping her balance.
Does she appreciate a visit with V The Heirophant? Does she care about the meaning within structures and traditions?
A wonderful game to play with any of your court cards is to have them take a stroll amoungst a variety of the cards from your deck. Pull out some of the minors, a few majors and another court card or two. Arrange them as you’d like and move your subject court card from card to card. What’s the story that would result from each encounter? You’ll find you have a richer appreciation of who each of the courts are when you’ve seen them in many situations and with many people.
