Great job agein, it gives very fine background material and open my eyes for how to seek information.
I can see you can your stuff.
What I am now going to say must be taken in the best possible way...I am just thinking loud.

This is a course for "newcomers". Some have a bit off knowledge in Tarot some have none.
Some are English other are not and can have problems to come up with the right words.

Your contribution is GREAT and I love it, but I am asking myself, can such a brilliant contribution make it harder for a newcomer to write his own Interpretation? Will it be easier for him/her to slip out of the class because the standard become to high...I will not..I just give the thought.

In my opinion so do you possess great resourses Bahdra, but I think you belong in a higher division.
Maybe you and Samantha should work together with the class or start an advance one.
Agein...this is posted in a posetiv way and I admirer you knowledge and I hope to see your interpretation of the whole deck:)

***I appreciate your point and was thinking that perhaps in my quest for knowledge I was going over the heads of the newbies. It's that Virgo Rising sign of mine! Always overdoing things.

Tell you what I think would be best. Let's do both. I'll keep it simpler from now on for the newbies and talk to Samantha about doing a more advanced class. By the way, on my resources, I do simple google searches on what I want to research, but since I know what I am looking for because I have more experience I realize a newbie would not know what to search on.

See you on the next interpretation, right now I'm going to watch a good movie and clean my house. Thank you so much for bringing up this point and your wonderful way of putting it.

Rhutobello, good idea! Bhadra, i think it would be great if we got together and discussed this! Anytime,

Wow how can I possibly follow Bhardra interpretation.....congratulations on a great job!

However here is what I see and just for the record I am using the Sharman-Caselli Tarot deck which is very closely related to the Rider Waite Tarot. http://www.tarotpassages.com/sharmancaselli.htm

This king sits in all his splendour on a very rich looking throne. He is a strong leader as depicted by the Lions seated at the top of the throne. He is also very ambitious and is of a very competitive nature.

He is an excellent leader and a successful business man enjoying the fruits of his labour. He is full of charm and people admire and follow him. He is surrounded by two rams which show me that he is Aries. Aries to me is a very fiery sign, and this king will be a good friend to you however cross him and he will really fire up. He will not suffer fools gladly.

Can represent a male boss.

Maybe you will have some dealings with someone in a business way.

Again I this is another card that I have a lot of trouble with when I try to read the cards. I know what he is and what his character is like but when he comes up in a spread.....I am stuck!!!!

hi nicnic,
good job! Sometimes it helps to just relax and listen to your intuition, it will guide you in reading the cards. Sometimes he could be a total stranger and other times the querant knows him, listen to spirit and you will get the right answer!
 Also, what helps me remember is looking at each court card and relating it to someone i know. This way when i see the card, i know what the person is like and I see them in my mind! Try it, works for me! Keep up the good work!! I'm so proud of all of you!!
                                                         Love and Light,
                                                              Samantha
