Tarot Court Cards Course

 

When you learn the tarot, you enter a fascinating world of symbolism, full of characters drawn from mythologies, Gods and Goddesses linked to astrology, the science of numbers, and the mysterious court cards.

These are the cards that make even the most seasoned tarot readers scratch their heads because they can be so elusive during a reading. Sometimes the tarot court cards speak clearly and loudly (Knight of Wands, anyone?), but other times, the message is elusive and dreamy (the realm of the Page of Cups).

Who is the cat lady? The fishmonger? The life of the party? The explosive entrepreneur? The Nobel laureate? Jokes aside, who are these mysterious figures that can make a reading come to life?

How can a hierarchical system of Pages, Knights, Queens, and Kings from the Middle Ages still be relevant today?

You'll explore all these questions and more when you embark on a journey to learn the tarot court cards.

This is not a textbook course focused on memorizing keywords and generic meanings. Instead, it is a ground-breaking tarot court cards course built on 40 years of knowledge, research, and personal experience from Oephebia's tarot readings.

It is based on the deep, personal connection Oephebia has developed with the cards.

The mystery of the tarot is open to many interpretations and schools of thought, and we are all eternal students.

A Note on Prerequisites 

Please understand that this course is not for beginners, and requires an advanced level with the tarot.

Seasoned and Professional readers are welcome too!

If you are new to tarot, Oephebia recommends building a solid foundation by first taking the Awakening Tarot course (or a similar introductory course).

The course is based exclusively on the Rider-Waite-Smith deck.

 

 

What you will explore

Unlike other tarot courses, you won't just learn about the cards: you'll master Oephebia’s carefully crafted "6 Pointers" and "Quadrant" system.

The "6 pointers" method is not only useful for the court cards but also for the major and minor arcana.

You'll also learn the "Quadrant" system, which provides an almost forensic understanding of each court card.

The course is divided into five lessons.

 

 

Lesson 1: Psychological Profiles of the Tarot Court Cards and all the Court Pages

• You will examine the hierarchy of the court cards and their psychological profiles using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, as inspired by Mary K.Greer.
• The Page of Cups, Page of Wands, Page of Pentacles, and Page of Swords will take you on a merry dance as you discover the subtle hierarchy among the Pages, revealed by what they wear on their heads and feet!

 

 

Lesson 2: The Knights

• Did you know that the different breeds of horses offer a subtle but powerful hint at the hierarchy of the Knights?
• Or that their spurs are a coded message about the Knights and their elements?
• You will delve into medieval warfare and discover how the armets worn by these young, dashing Knights provide even more information.

 

 

Lesson 3: The Queens

• You will learn about the power of the Sages and nurturers: the real power behind the throne!
• The Queens will give you hints about their complex psychological profiles through their clothing, thrones, elements, and the direction they face.
• The Queen of Cups with her mermaid infants, the Queen of Wands with her black cat, the Queen of Pentacles with the hare, and the Queen of Swords with her butterflies will unlock their secrets.

 

 

Lesson 4: The Kings

• You will meet the stewards and elders of the four suits, who represent the supreme power of the court cards, a power that is well understood, polished, and refined.
• You will look at leadership from a different angle and see how these kings have shaped their suits by understanding their dual nature.

 

 

Lesson 5: An Audience with the Court Cards

• You will put what we've learned into practice by doing readings with spreads specifically designed by Oephebia.
• Unlike generic spreads, these have been crafted with great care and attention for each of the tarot court cards.
• They'll help you unravel psychological and spiritual insights you never knew you had, empowering you to navigate the choppy waters of life's journey.

 

 

Tarot Court Card exercises

This course requires you to have not only a good general knowledge of the tarot but also enough time to do the exercises.

These exercises are designed to test your knowledge, encourage you to research (Wikipedia will be your friend!), help you develop a different way of seeing the cards, and understand the symbolism-rich fairy tales, legends, and folklore that match the tarot.

In other words, you will immerse yourself in a different world, and to do so, you will need time to grasp the true essence of the Tarot court cards!

 

 

One-on-one Tarot lessons

Each lesson is a two-hour, one-on-one session with Oephebia, conducted via WhatsApp, Google Meet, or Instagram.

The entire course includes 10 hours of private tuition (5 lessons).

These private, one-on-one tuitions guarantee a tailored learning experience, complete with direct feedback and personal interaction with Oephebia.

This interactive approach will help you build your confidence further and strengthen your intuition.

Study at Your Own Pace

Each lesson requires a few hours of dedicated time to complete the exercises and fully immerse yourself in the court cards.

With this in mind, a lesson twice a month is a recommended pace.

However, after the first two lessons, if you feel the pace is too intense, you have the option to switch to a monthly lesson schedule.

Tarot Court Cards Course Reviews

I came across Oephebia whilst looking for an advanced tarot course that would help me improve my readings.

I had always struggled when the Tarot Court Cards appeared in spreads due to their complexities so I couldn’t believe it when she offered the exact thing I was looking for - it was meant to be and I signed up immediately.
I was not disappointed.

Oephebia has created a course structure which is intense and not for the faint hearted - you can expect to go down a rabbit hole of looking at the symbolism, history and subtle links to other cards that I got happily lost in for hours!

I learnt so much that I can apply her 6 pointers system to any of the 78 cards in a deck.

A truly eye opening course and my readings have improved immensely.

The spreads were a highlight for me, especially when read all together in one large master court card spread - wow!

Thank you Oephebia - I now love the Court Cards and feel closer to them than ever after completing this course.

For years I had struggled to relate to the court cards.

Not only did I find them intimidating, but every time one turned up in reading, I panicked. I couldn't see beyond the surface and consequently these vitally important cards remained two dimensional and out of reach.

This course kick started a significant shift in my understanding.

Oephebia's teaching enabled me to put flesh on the bones, and gradually I was able to see these cards for the rich and fascinating characters they truly are.

It was a bit like the dawning realisation that an aged relative does not simply exist in the here and now, but has accumulated a wealth of experience through the years.

So too the court cards, most especially the kings and queens although the pages and knights also teach us that life is a work in progress, and we all have the capacity to learn and grow from birth to death.

I thoroughly recommend this course for anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of these sometimes elusive characters.
