Pages Overview

Today I will present you the first round of bachelorettes: the Pages of Tarot Court.
Pages are generally portraying young people, up to age 18-20, both female or male. Each level of court status ( *there are four levels: pages, knights, queens and kings)is assigned an element in addition to the suit element (wands- fire, cups-water, swords- air, coins- earth). All Pages embody the element of earth. Pages or Maidens how are called in the Jane Austen Tarot  do NOT own zodiacal property, but they serve other court cards. They are also closely related to aces and elemental trumps.
