Читать книгу Material Girl, Mystical World: The Now-Age Guide for Chic Seekers and Modern Mystics - Ruby Warrington, Ruby Warrington - Страница 15

If the Major Arcana are like the A-list players in a movie, playing the “parts,” or higher forces, moving the action forward, then the Court Cards (King, Queen, Knight/Prince, and Page/Princess) of the Minor Arcana often represent our psychological state, as well as the actual people involved in a situation.

Meanwhile, the suits each correspond to an element and go something like this:

WANDS—Fire energy/passion/doing

SWORDS—Air energy/ideas/thinking

CUPS—Water energy/emotions/feeling

DISCS—Earth energy/work/making

As a rule, the Ace of each suit speaks to the energy of new beginnings, while the higher the number (2–10), the more extremely the element will be exerting itself in the reading.

This is a very rudimentary overview, and every reader I’ve met will agree you can do a whole two-hour class on the intricate meanings of just one card. But one step at a time. As Lou puts it, “Even just learning about the elements will give you an entire self-help practice.”
