Re: The chivalry of Knights based on their Suits
I'm going to copy here a post that I wrote In the thread that WolfSwan mentioned about a Knight of Wands. But I'd like to get back to this thread when I have time to post more about the specific Knights and how they could relate in their own specific ways to the concept of chivalry. But modern chiv...

Re: The chivalry of Knights based on their Suits
The wikipedia entry on chivalry is long and interesting. They identify three major strands of chivalry: Different weight given to different areas produced different strands of chivalry: warrior chivalry, in which a knight's chief duty is to his lord, as exemplified by Sir Gawain in Sir Gawain and t...

The chivalry of Knights based on their Suits
This topic started on another thread where I was particularly interested in the Knight of Wands, where Marigold mentioned the Knights being 'chivalrous' by nature, and where we started to consider what that could mean in the 21st Century. The topic of course then moved to what chivalry would mean ba...

Re: Gilded Tarot Knight of Wands
I went to look up what chivalry could mean in the 21st century. Some ideas I gleaned from a Knights Templars website (I don't mention them all because some of them are more in the line of "obey our lord jesus christ" kind of thing.) But others I find helpful for our thread: Respect and de...

Re: Gilded Tarot Knight of Wands
The two biggest clues are the context of the question, and near-lying cards. Additionally, if you're using named positions, a court coming up in a spot designated "how X feels" probably isn't a person. Context, context, context. ;) This is true. I'm still not sure how the Knight of Wands ...

Re: Gilded Tarot Knight of Wands
Just in passing, I think the Knight of Wands is maybe the Chariot who has calmed and trained his horses. When I'm puzzled about a court card (in French they are sometimes called the Honours which I find interesting), I look first at the energy that the card is presenting, before even trying to pinp...

Re: Gilded Tarot Knight of Wands
http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. How do you know when they represent a person, or when they represent action? That's one of the more difficult things about reading. I think there isn't really a set way. You have to figure out your own methodology. One thing that some people do is ascertain be...

Gilded Tarot Knight of Wands
http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. I've gotten this card a number of times in readings and I thought it was time to explore this card in more detail since I'm still not 100% with Court cards in general. How do you know when they represent a person, or when they represent action? To me this Knig...

Hello :)
Hello! I used to be on Aeclectic Tarot back in the day and did quite a few readings there, but stopped once that closed - because of life and other circumstances. I am now slowly getting back into reading so I'm excited to practice my skills again and flex that intuitive muscle! Looking forward to r...
