The Hierarchy of the Court Cards
The Pages

The Pages
Keywords for All the Pages Can represent starting over in life [at any age]. They also can represent messages, letters, and news, related to their particular suit. Young/youth, innocent, growing, a seed planted. A new beginning relating to suit. Change, messengers, comminication, important news, phone calls, letters, information, flexibility, movement. An emerging aspect of the personality. Something in the process of formation/forming. Something that needs attentive nurturing to mature and develop. Children, students and apprentices. Pages are normally gender-neutral or can apply to either sex. In some decks, pages are called daughters or princesses, which gives an entirely different feel to them. Under many of these systems, the princesses have a strong sexual element. Pages are often seen as being related to, or the alter ego of The Fool. Some also see a close relationship with the Pages and Aces. |
