Wir arbeiten derzeit gerade an neuen Comics von Super Smash Bros.. Mit SSBU (Super Smash Brothers Umega) haben wir auf eine Geschichte aufgebaut, die es zuvor bereits in Videoform gab, jedoch leider nicht vollständig veröffentlicht wurde. Das wollen wir jetzt ändern, die “erste Staffel” SSBZ (Z für Zero) wird jetzt als Comic remaked. Wir haben durch SSBU erste Erfahrung gesammelt und wollen jetzt, immer wenn Zeit ist, ein neues Comic raushauen!

~ “Fucking Courts!” ~

–  Moi ^_^

Yes, I still say that whenever too many court cards appear within a reading. Especially whenever I’m just doing a simple no-frills 3 card reading, and two (and sometimes all three of them) are court cards. Earlier, I used to think it’s only me who had trouble reading court cards, but it turns out, virtually everyone I’ve come across (seasoned professionals, novices, and even Tarot Authors) have issues with the courts. So trust, me, you’re not alone in your frustration regarding interpreting court cards. However, if you say you don’t need any help regarding court cards and that they’re a breeze to read through, then you’re either the great grand master of all things Tarot and should have a shrine built in your honor… or, you’re just a cocky liar, so get off your high horse already

Why are the courts so F*d up?

The answer to that comes from how Tarot evolved. You see, earlier on, when virtually every deck was a TDM (Tarot De Marseilles) or a TDM clone, the courts were all of a set role – King, Queen, Knight, and Page. Very simple, very feudalistic. Kings were all matured/married men (though so many married men I’ve come across are anything but mature), Queens were mature/married women (ditto), Knights were single unmarried men (read horny pigs that shag everything that moves – oh don’t gimme that look, where else do you think the whole ‘Knight in shining armor’ fantasy came from), and Pages were either children or young unmarried women (goes to show the pittiful state of a young single girl back in the day. Come to think of it, such a mindset is still followed in many cultures of the world, but let’s get back to the subject). Everything was fine and dandy, as psychology wasn’t yet created, and minors were all unillustrated pips (yes, I know there are exceptions, but work with me here) so courts totally were used to represent people (‘I see a tall dark stranger in your future’).

Then in the 19th century, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn came into the picture and began messing around with our limited feudalistic courts. By stuffing all their esoterica (that has oft been criticized to begin with) into the Tarot, they began assigning elements to not only the suits of the minors, but also to the ranks of the courts. Queens were water and Pages were earth (trust a bunch of stuffy old men to call earth a ’step-element’ and assign it to a Page – as an earth sign, I take offense to the degradation of my element). The Knight on his fancy horse was fire (read testostrone fueled) and the Kings were assigned air for their logic and reasoning skills (as if!).

However, while this was assigned, some dude in a tacky traditional robe (yeah, str8 men have no concept of fabric and design) must have gone all, “Hey, shouldn’t fire get a ‘higher’ rank? After all, fire is the primary consort of water, and thus it would be more fitting if the Queens consort was fire instead of air.” And so all the GD honchos decided to ‘promote’ the Knight to King (they actually penciled it in on their existing decks), while the King got ‘demoted’ to Prince or Son. The Queens remained queens, and to create a more balance in the genders, renamed the Pages, Princess or Daughter (woo-hoo, a step in the right direction for women’s lib!).

Not everyone was happy with this. Arthur Edward Waite (who shall now be referred to as Uncle Art for short) and Aleister Crowley (Uncle Al), who went on to create their respective Tarot decks that laid the foundation for the evolution of modern Tarot, had their own take on the courts.

Uncle Art was a stuffy old soul (have you ever read his works? Snoozefest!) and decided to go with the Traditional style of the TDM Courts, and thus reinstating the King and the Knight back in their respective positions, and stripping away the Page off his Princess title.

Uncle Al was a… well, a ‘colorful’ character, and decided to take the GD court model a step further by retaining the Knights original title, and making him the highest station and demoted the King to Prince.

(Dysfunctional) Family Dynamics

In the TDM and RWS (Rider Waite Smith – A Tarot Deck created by Uncle Art and Pamela ‘Pixie’ Coleman Smith) decks,  the court ranks are based on the royal households of Europe’s feudal period. The King was the absolute ruler of his domain, which he inherited from his father. His consort was his Queen, who most likely married the dude for political and societal reasons.  The Knight is either the king’s military commander or an ambitious young vassal. He  could even be the royal heir to the throne and thus proving his prowess through tournaments and battles (and sowing his wild oats into all the young maidens). The Page was either their household servant or foster child, that lived with them and attended their needs (developing a major Cinderella complex while cleaning their ‘royal thrones’ every morning).

In the Thoth Tarot (Uncle Al’s deck which he created with Lady Freida Harris), the Knight and Queen were the primary couple with two children, the Prince and the Princess. Crowley’s family model was part based on pre-christian pagan cultures, and part based on fairytales – Once upon a time, a long long time ago, the world was kinda messed up. Since communities were so far off and isolated, people would end up shagging sheep and/or their cousins to get their kicks. As we all know, children born out of incest and inbreeding just tend to be anything but normal, and when too many of such kind are born, the kingdoms would just dwindle on virtually all levels. The Royal Family was treated like divinity, mainly cause inbreeding never occured, and thus they remained all the more healthier, vigorous, and ‘potent’ than their royal subjects. Thus their vitality were directly linked to the land and their community.

The King was a wise and powerful ruler. However, age caught up on him, and he became infertile. Trying to remain youthful, he still tried to do all sorts of crazy things to prove he was still ‘da man’. In the process of doing so, he ended up throwing out his back, causing him to remain bedridden and unable to really get it up (this is what happens when you decide to pump iron instead of opt for yoga and tai chi). This lead to the land drying up and eventually becoming a wasteland. Upon seeing this happen, big scary monsters began terrorizing the people, as the knew the King was powerless to do anything.

The Queen would sigh and cry, “Oh why is this happening to us? Why oh why oh why?” and she would beg and pray for someone to come along and rescue them. And hopefully be cute enough to marry their daughter who just sits all day in her room singing aimlessly about being ‘awoken’. (Taylor Swift anyone?)

Then one day, a strong handsome and very virile Knight was galloping along, till he heard the most beautiful voice in the world. So captivated by the siren call, that he changed course and began galloping towards the voice. Upon reaching the kingdom, he realized that the voice was coming from the Princesses chambers, and upon gazing at her, he fell in love with her at first sight. But as soon as he saw the state of the land, and the fact that a ravaging monster was breathing fire and stomping around innocent inbred peasants, he boldly went on to slay the beast and save the kingdom. For his courage and strength, he was given the hand of the princess to marry. The Old King and Queen gave up their throne and took to the fancy old folks home in the pre-christian Boca Raton, while the princess went onto becoming the new Queen, with the Knight as her consort. They got it on like a pair of wild monkeys, and gave birth to two children, the Prince and the Princess, and the land was again fertile and abundant. The Prince would eventually be set out to follow daddy’s footsteps to rescue another land in turmoil and rescue it, while the Princess would be groomed to become the future Queen.

And they lived happily ever after.

Oy! And I thought my family was messed up.

That’s all well and nice, but how do I read the effin’ courts?

Well, that’s the tricky part. You see, due to the differences between the RWS, GD, and Thoth systems of court cards, we’re all left confused with the question ‘which one do we follow?’ One way of going about it is to read solely with either a TDM, RWS, or Thoth deck and stick with that system and see how it works for you. That’s all fine and dandy till the point you’re viewing the courts as just ‘people’. However, as Tarot has evolved, we have discovered that beyond mere prediction, Tarot can also be used as a therapeutic tool, enabling us to get a deeper and more profound insight into ourselves and the world around us (and even the universe), and thus, we have come to discover that Court Cards, along with representing other people in our lives, also represent different parts of ourselves. Our appearance can fit in with one card, while our emotional side could fit better with another. Hell, even the way we communicate, make love, achieve a goal, and the various stages of our own lives, can be represented by different court cards. And if that didn’t make matters more complicated, Court Cards can also represent situation (yes, situations) in our lives, where either we have to behave like the court-persona, or the situation itself is a manifestation of that particular court card.

And to make matters worse, different decks offer different perspectives on the courts. Some of them even try to combine the TDM/RWS style with the Thoth systems! And while the GD/Thoth systems have a long list of various esoteric correspondences assigned to each court card, they some how don’t totally fit in well with the TDM/RWS courts, thus sparking public (and private) debate on how to merge the two systems, as well as, how to apply them universally, so that no matter what deck we read with, it all applies therein. And don’t get me started on how all the therapeutic psychological correspondences have been assigned to each court card, that’s a whole different can of worms altogether.

I’ve tried my best to create a set of keywords for the ranks of the courts, so as to share with you my own personal system of handling the courts, as well as, offer another perspective on the Tarot Courts. I am not saying this is the absolute right way! Nor am I saying that I stand by this completely. I’m a human being, I evolve with the times, and always keep an open mind for new theories and practices. For now, this is what works for me, and this is what helps me interpret the damned courts at the end of the day. If it helps you, fabulous! If it confuses you, I sincerely apologize, and if you disagree with my assignations, please feel free to share your thoughts.

But before we get to those, let’s take a brief look at how we can interpret court cards within a reading:-

• A person in our life, identified by their physical attributes, profession, role, or even personality type and astrological sign.
• An aspect of our own personality, style, attitude, or role we play.
• A relationship we have with people within our life.
• A spiritual influence at work in our lives.
• Events and situations (past, present, and future).
• Times or seasons of the year.
• Qualities we need to cultivate within ourselves.

How do we know when to interpret a court as one of the above? Well, the answer is simple in theory but complex in application, and I’m sorry, but I’m not able to provide a better answer at this moment – Trust your intuition and go with it.

And with that, I present to you the Keywords for the various ranks of the Tarot Court

Well, there is no point in making this post any longer, so here is the result.

Comments appreciated, on deviantart or here.

Years ago when I was a wee lad of 11 or 12 I went to the Kansas City Renaissance Festival and while I was there I found a shop called “Talon Armoury”.  Even back in those days I loved armour so I had to go check this place out.  Inside was the most amazing array of armour including a full suit of Maximillian armour inside a glass case.  The shop was run by Master Glendour a Laurel in the Kingdom of Calontir.  He was quite patient with myself and my friends despite the fact we were getting our grubby finger prints all over his nicely finished armour.  He answered all our questions about the armour and how he made it and then he told us about a group called The Society for Creative Anachronisms who were running a big demo on the site.  I think I spent the entire day there running back and forth between the SCA demo and Master Glendours shop.  A few years later I found out there was a SCA group just an hours drive from my home so I joined up. 

Master Glendour was also knighted a few years ago in the Kingdom of Calontir so when I saw him at the Toys for Tots tournament I knew I had to ask him to be the first knight to accept my 100 Knights 100 Fights challenge which he graciously accepted.  I was honored not only because Master Glendour is such and excellent knight who embodies the knightly virtues in every way but also because it was he who introduced me to the SCA and armouring. 

Thank you Master Glendour!

A.K.A. Final Fantasy II circa 1991.

MOST.  AWESOME.  GAME.  Ever ….

Anyone who has ever played this game…. SNES, perhaps?… will know what I’m saying. Better than Myst. Better than Nethack (I just keep dying). Better than Sims. Arguments can commence now, but in my experience… FFIV is the most enjoyable game I’ve ever played.

So much so that I’m searching a working SNES console and the original cartridge for FFII. on eBay of course. A few years ago, you could find a SNES for $20. Now, I think it’s going for over $50. A hefty sum for an outdated system.

Anyway, Final Fantasy II or IV (as released on the Nintendo DS with updated graphics) has an amazing storyline with the most memorable characters ever. Remember when Cecil becomes a Paladin? Remember Palom and Parom? Kain? Tellah? Rosa? Rydia? I wanted to name my future child Rydia when I was 7 years old. And of course… the Chocobos.

Oh, yeah… and the music is absolutely phenomenal.

I can’t get into the story because there is too much and to talk about it wouldn’t do it justice. Playing the game, however, would. Just watch this video:

SNES Final Fantasy IV Introduction

Christopher, the mighty warrior,

Picks up his rusty sword.

He runs at the beast with the fiery breath,

But the beast growls, “I am lord!”

Christopher grabs his tarnished shield

And holds it up against the heat.

He stands firm before the hideous beast

And plans out his glorious treat.

“Aha!” shouts he.  “I shall prevail!

For I am mighty indeed.

I’m the greatest warrior in the land

And there’s no one’s help I need!

“The king will reward my bravery

With jewels and silver and gold.

And I shall be a famous hero.

Near and far my tale will be told.”

As Christopher dreamed of his great glory

The horrid beast was slinking near.

“I’ll ride my steed into the streets

Where the people will clap and cheer.”

Christopher felt his back grow warm

And sniffed an awful stench.

He turned to see that hairy beast

Hovering close enough to pinch.

Christopher took a step to the rear

And then he took another.

“Yes!” roared the beast to Christopher,

“Go running to your mother!”

Christopher leapt behind a wall to think

And to formulate a plan.

He had to think of something fast.

Was he a mouse or man?

Try as he might, he could not think

Of a way out of this mess.

How he could defeat the beast

He couldn’t even guess.

Then the young, hopeless knight

Thought of something he could try.

He knelt down on his knees

And looked helplessly to the sky.

“Help me, oh Lord!”

Christopher shouted out loud,

“I’m in a terrible fix, I fear,

Because I‘ve been so proud.”

“Forgive me, my God,

And help me to change

My priorities are disordered

And I need to rearrange.”

I promise You’ll be first

In my heart forever more.

My desire is treasures in heaven

That only You can help me store.”

Then the beast snarled once more

And blew forth a ball of fire.

Christopher had stopped believing in himself

And placed his trust up higher.

An army of heavenly hosts

Descended from the sky.

Each held out a shining sword

While the King of Kings stood by.

A great peace fell over Christopher

And he knew down deep inside

That he was not fighting alone-

The Holy Spirit would be his guide.

The army of angels charged the beast.

The ugly beast tried to turn and run.

But standing in his path

Was God’s Only Begotten Son.

“Evil Beast ,” said the Son,

“You’ll never win this fight.

You know the outcome’s already set.

No one will help your plight.”

“Flee,” said the Son,

As He held up His mighty hand.

“Flee into the dark of night

For My light you’ll not withstand.”

Then before the beast turned to go

He did an amazing thing.

He lowered himself and bowed his head

In deference to the King.

Christopher, the young bewildered knight,

Stood in shock and dismay.

He had not expected this thing to happen

When all he did was pray.

“You mean,” said he to the King of Kings.

That’s all I had to do?

Admit my defeat and helplessness

To no one else but You?”

“Your broken spirit cried out to Me

And confessed overwhelming fear

You admitted that you needed Me-

That was all I needed to hear.”

And then the King said to the knight,

In a voice that was filled with love,

“You’ll never fight alone, my child,

Not as long as I am above.”

“Thank you,” said Christopher to his Lord.

“Thank you, oh so much.

I’ll not boast of my own abilities

Now that I’ve felt Your touch.”

“I know now that I can trust in You.

I guess I’ve known it all along.

I wanted to prove my own bravery.

I now know that that was wrong.”

“Forgive me for my prideful ways

And make my heart all new.

Help me to always remember

That true strength comes from You.”

Tina James, 2006

*Do not copy without author’s permission.

Each piece moves in a different pattern.

• The rook moves any number of vacant squares along rows or columns (forward, backward, left or right). It also is involved when castling.
• The bishop moves any number of vacant squares diagonally. Consequently a bishop stays on squares of the same color throughout a game.
• The queen moves any number of vacant squares in any direction along a row, column, or diagonal.
• The king moves only one vacant square in any direction. It can also castle in conjunction with a rook.
• The knight moves to a vacant square in an “L”-shape (two spaces forward, backward, left, or right and one space perpendicular to it). The knight can jump over other pieces when moving.
• The pawn can only move forward one space, or optionally two spaces when on its starting square, in a straight line away from the player. When there is an enemy piece one square diagonally ahead from the pawn (either left or right), then the pawn may capture that piece. A pawn can perform a special type of capture of an enemy pawn called en passant. If the pawn reaches a back rank of the opposite player, it undergoes promotion to a rook, bishop, queen or knight.

Additional queens, rooks, bishops or knights may be produced by promotion of the pawns (so in theory a player may have up to nine queens, ten rooks, ten bishops, or ten knights).

If there’s no longer any dragons to slay or mountains to scale, the world would be so boring.

I used to get depressed over the state of the world, going to sleep with troubled thoughts. Now, I go sleep with the assurance that I still have dragons to slay the next morning.

Life is fun again.

Snapped this guy up on a telephone pole on 22nd/San Jose.

Maybe I’m being dense here, but I don’t get the metaphor. The joke definitely lies in the thumb head and the knightship, but I really can’t figure out how they’re related. Can anyone enlighten me? Please respond in iambic pentameter only.

I totally don’t get British humor. Oops, humour. If this is a Monty Python ref, I’m gonna be pissed.
