Today I again pulled the Queen of Swords card. I also pulled this card last week and because I already wrote an article about court cards, this is a nice addition to it.
Though I don't really dislike any card in the deck, I would rather not see myself as the Queen of Swords. The reason lies in the fact that she seems kind of cold to me. She shows only one side of her face. To me that feels as if she isn't very open. Not in touch with her feelings.
The fact is, when I'm not feeling okay, I am distant and maybe a little cold. This is not something I like about myself, so I guess this card works as a mirror to me.
Of course there are also a lot of positive things to say about this card. She seems to be a honest person, who will look at the facts and will not be influenced by things other people say. I think she is a strait forward, no nonsense kind of girl.
While I'm typing this I start to recognize more and more about myself.
That's the beauty of tarot I think!!!
A couple of weeks ago I bought Mary K. Greer's and Tom Little's book, Understanding the tarot court. It's a shame it isn't published in Dutch, but that sure counts for a lot of tarot books.
Because of the two year tarot class I'm taking, I have a special interest in the court cards at the moment. And since I'm one of those people who want to have everything there is on the subject I'm interested in, I think this book is a great addition to my collection!
By the way, hope you understand my writings a little. English isn't my natural language of course.
One of the exercises in the book is picking out your significator. That's the court card you feel most connected with.
Today I picked the page of pentacles. I used the Universal Waite deck. 
Why did I pick this card? I think it's because of the curiosity that this page is looking at the pentacle in his hands with. He sees the opportunities that lie in it and he kind of admires that. Of course he's also a young person and I am too, but I didn't look at the pages only. This card really stood out for me.
That curiosity is something that I can connect with. It's in my nature I guess. And when something pulls my attention (like tarot did), I can see a thousand of opportunities...........
